What are some major problems in the aero industry right now
- Supply chain disruptions: Ongoing issues with supply chains, including shipping delays, raw material shortages, and sporadic pricing, are expected to continue into 2023 and beyond.
- Talent shortage: There is a significant skills gap and workforce shortage in the industry, exacerbated by an aging workforce and difficulties in attracting and retaining new talent.
- Sustainability and decarbonization: The industry is under pressure to reduce emissions and develop more sustainable technologies, which presents technical and economic challenges.
- Economic uncertainty and inflation: Rising costs of materials and fuel, coupled with potential economic downturns, are impacting both commercial aviation and defence sectors.
Digitalization and cybersecurity: The need for digital transformation is creating challenges in modernizing operations and protecting against cyber threats.- Increasing passenger demand: As air travel rebounds post-pandemic, there's pressure to meet growing demand while addressing sustainability concerns.
Long-term effects of COVID-19: The pandemic has led to shifts in demand patterns and disrupted normal business operations.- Manufacturing challenges: Issues like part shortages and production delays are affecting major manufacturers like Boeing and Airbus.
- why are these challenges just hitting now? - has it been brewing for some time now? is the pandemic to blame? inflation? shifted company cycle w more part retailers dying off due to pandemic, inflation, etc.?
- Regulatory changes: Evolving regulations, particularly in areas like sustainability and safety, require ongoing adaptation.
- Technological shifts: The industry must keep pace with rapidly advancing technologies, including AI and autonomous systems, which requires significant investment and adaptation.
