Airbus's revised forecast may indicate a less buoyant aviation market ahead, suggesting that airlines could trim their capacity growth plans due to higher oil prices stemming from the Iran war. This adjustment could signal a shift in the industry's growth trajectory, which may impact manufacturers and suppliers.
Global Planemaker Adjusts Outlook Amid Trade Tensions
