GE Aerospace has raised its 2026 profit forecast due to resilient demand for aftermarket services and parts from airlines, despite higher fuel prices and fewer flight departures.

GE Aerospace’s CEO, Larry Culp, noted that aftermarket demand has been resilient, which may help mitigate the impact of economic uncertainty on the company’s services business.
