The fallout from the Boeing 737 MAX groundings will be seen in 2020. Over 200 MAX aircraft and over 400 LEAP-1B engine deliveries originally planned to enter service in the Asia-Pacific region in 2019 will likely be pushed into the following year.
At risk is Boeing’s delivery schedule. Will multiple worldwide civil aviation authorities certify fixes for the 737 MAX in time? Will operators scheduled to receive these new aircraft be able to accept the exceptional spike in deliveries of new aircraft over the coming year?
Given this unprecedented situation, Aviation Week Network’s 2020 Commercial Aviation Fleet & MRO Forecast delivers a detailed projection of the nearly 7,300 commercial aircraft entering service in China and APAC over the next 10 years.
