The A-380 - Stay in Production or cancel?

May 7, 2010

Canceling the A 380 will invoke more costs not less. Even if the various Gov'ts would agree with layoffs, the severance pay and other benefits would outweigh the savings. Also most of the development costs are "sunk" they cannot be recovered at all. Future production costs must be reflected in the actual aircraft selling price. Also Airbus would suffer greatly in prestige should their "Queen" disappear, plus many customers would leave Airbus and go to Boeing.

When Business Aviation Rebounds

When Business Aviation Rebounds | www.aviationweek.com

Recently a group of “luminaries and experts” were assembled by the editors of Business & Commercial Aviation magazine to discuss the outlook for business aviation.  Most are longtime friends for whom I have a great deal of respect.  Reflecting on the past, the group glanced at their crystal balls for a look at the future.  The report of the meeting was titled When Business Aviation Rebounds.  The key word is When, and not If.

Outlook for Business Aviation | www.ainonline.com

A Marvel, Misunderstood - Business Aircraft

March 20, 2009

Business-Jet Demand is Stalling | online.wsj.com

Why are we vilifying a $100 billion sector of our manufacturing economy?  The business jet is an important tool that permits businesses to compete effectively in multiple locations domestically and internationally.  It has been documented that the most profitable companies own business aircraft. Cessna Aircraft (Textron), Gulfstream (General Dynamics) and others are tightening their belts against the economic tsunami, but perception may be their greatest challenge.

Cessna (TXT) Optimism Premature

March 20, 2009

Cessna VP Sees Brighter Days for Jets | www.kansas.com

While we're delighted that Cessna feels the business jet industry has hit bottom, we think it's still a little early to proclaim this.  The industry has historically high numbers of used inventory to sell before customers return to the new airplane arena.  The economy, credit situation and negative public perception of business aviation must also improve before buyers are comfortable enough to part with potentially tens of millions of dollars for a new jet.
