Business Aviation Manufacturing
Navigating the Storm
Business and General Aviation Aircraft Manufacturers, and their suppliers, are feeling the impact of the unsettled economic and political environment:
- Banks, feeling pressure from federal agencies, have tightened commercial credit requirements impacting even long-term relationships
- Unprecedented economic and credit unrest creates a difficult environment for all durable goods industries
- Manufacturers have experienced unprecedented order cancellations
- TARP recipients are being forced to eliminate Business Aircraft resulting in high levels of aircraft inventory – both whitetails and resale A/C, leading to plummeting resale values
- Industry customers and suppliers find credit difficult to obtain, even for the most creditworthy borrowers
- Decreased production volumes have put pressure on liquidity for OEs and suppliers
- Stressed/distressed suppliers raise on-time and quality production concerns
