In April’s Issue
- As conflict in the Gulf region continues, Cirium Ascend Consultancy has outlined three potential airline capacity (ASK) scenarios for 2026 in this month’s issue of the Commercial Aviation Monitor. See the chart of the month below for a preview.
- Commercial aircraft shipments for Airbus and Boeing were 3% down in Q1 2026 versus the same period last year, with the deficit entirely due to 16% lower volumes from Airbus. Overall, the two OEMs are expected to achieve an increase of around 11% for the full year to around 1,500 deliveries.
- This month’s focus: the Asia-Pacific commercial aviation market. The market is expanding but becoming more fragmented, with geopolitical and operational constraints increasingly shaping where and how capacity is deployed. Growth is concentrated in select markets such as Vietnam and the Philippines, while large markets such as Indonesia face execution volatility.
