may struggle to survive due to lower earnings and cash flows.
Narrow-Body Leads Recovery
in the Short-to-Medium-Term
As a result of the pandemic, there have been
certain behavioral changes among passengers, with an increased focus on short-haul
and domestic travel. In 2020, average air
travel trip length was expected to drop
by about 8.5% globally - International
Air Transport Association (IATA) does
not expect a return to pre-pandemic trip
length levels before 2025.8 Hence, the focus
on domestic and short-distance travel
is expected to continue in 2021, as well.
According to our research conducted in
January 2021, 81% of consumers said they
are unlikely to take a domestic flight for
leisure in the next three months, and 85%
responded they are unlikely to fly internationally in that period.9 With domestic travel gradually opening up - and restrictions
on international travel continuing - aircraft deliveries are expected to be skewed
toward more narrow-body aircraft in the
short-to-medium-term. This could also
result in higher demand for narrow-body
aircraft, which is likely to lead to recovery
over the medium-term.
Demand for Aftermarket Parts
& Services to Remain Weak
Due to lower aircraft utilization rates,
the sale of aftermarket parts and services
will also remain weak, especially as airlines delay discretionary maintenance or
upgrades to conserve cash. The impact on
the sale of aftermarket parts and maintenance services is likely to have a larger
impact on sector profitability as this is
typically a high-margin business. One of
the critical challenges impacting the aftermarket business is airlines taking advantage of excess aircraft to swap out parts
that need repairs. Some parked planes have

about 14,700 at the end of 2018 to 13,350
as of December 2020. 6 Apart from commercial aircraft, deliveries for rotorcraft are
also expected to remain nearly 15% below
pre-pandemic levels in 2021, at 750 units.7
Commercial aircraft backlog could further
decline as new orders are likely to remain
subdued in the short-to-medium term.
Production rate reductions by OEMs will
also adversely impact the extended commercial aerospace manufacturing supply
chain, especially the mid-to-lower-tier suppliers and service providers, some of which
