Industry Leaders Discuss High Demand and Tight Resources
The Aerospace Industry Outlook - Fall 2026 event, scheduled for October 14, 2026, will discuss the industry’s paradox of high demand and tight resources. Featuring Richard Aboulafia, the event will explore the competing directions of commercial aviation, business aviation, and defense. With a combined commercial aircraft backlog exceeding 17,000 aircraft, the industry faces a 12-year delivery queue, while business aviation utilization runs at all-time highs despite macroeconomic challenges. This was first reported by Aerospace Manufacturing and M4SNews.
