“The Evolving Commercial Aftermarket: No Longer Just About Passenger Travel”
Orange County Chapter meeting on September 4
This session will explore the changing dynamics of the commercial aerospace aftermarket. Since the great recession, the aftermarket has been very volatile, and the historical relationship of commercial aftermarket demand with passenger and cargo traffic has been decoupled. We have seen an explosion of used material, significant changes in airline maintenance trends and inventory levels, industry consolidation, the increased aftermarket push by many OEMs, and new business models associated with the new aircraft introductions. These trends are especially important considering the aftermarket is traditionally one of the more profitable businesses for aerospace and defense suppliers.
Please join us in Costa Mesa, CA on Thursday, September 4, 2014 (networking at 7:00am, meeting 7:30– 9:00am PST), when an expert panel, including Jim Meyer (Aviation Repair Solutions), Jimmy Wu (Infinity Air), David Donlevy (Parker Aerospace), and Ken Herbert (Canaccord Genuity), will discuss what opportunities the changes in the marketplace are creating, and what companies are doing to take advantage of these opportunities, and to re-position themselves for future success.
The meeting is free for A&D Forum members and $40 for non-members ($30 Early Bird until August 28). Click here to register to attend the meeting
