COMMERCIAL AVIATION MONITOR
JUNE ISSUE
- This month’s focus: market uncertainty surrounding global trade. Cirium tracking data shows a year-on-year decline in international cargo flights touching North America, while Asia-to-Europe flights are up.
- US government data shows that visitor volumes to the USA declined in February and March, rebounding from most regions in April, but weakness has persisted for Asia, Africa and Oceania.
- With Airbus’s year-to-date commercial aircraft shipments 5% below this time last year, the OEM will need to break delivery records through the next seven months to achieve its current full-year target of 820 aircraft. Boeing’s shipments are recovering well, with 212 deliveries after five months, 68% ahead of the 126 completed by May last year.
- IATA has moderated its full-year expectations for industry profitability amid “significant uncertainties” in the world economy. It has reduced its global airline net profit forecast to $36 billion from its December 2024 projection of $36.6 billion, and its traffic growth projection for 2025 is down to 5.8% from 8.0% last December.
