Aviation Segments By Damage

Most to LeastAnnotated, Six Months In

International traffic hit hardest and longest.Already an overcapacity situation.Secular shift towards single aisles already underway.It’s just that bad.

Twin aisle jetliners

Fuel prices a big problem.

China comeback uncertain.

Some relief due to deferred Airbus ramp, and MAX stop.

Same.

Single aisle jetliners

Large cabin strongly correlated with oil prices.

Small/medium strongly correlated with corporate profits, equities indices.

Might recover quickly; still a 2020/21 downturn

Business Jets

Oil and gas segment (large) hit again, before recovery even began.

About right…wait and see.

Civil Rotorcraft

Emphasis on “shovel-ready.”

Advance development programs at greater risk.

Pure-play contractors in best shape; suppliers with most defense in best shape.

All good. In fact, better.

More Unprecedented Numbers•Traffic decline, parked fleet like no previous shock.

• Per Paul Krugman, reflect a world economy in a “medically-induced coma.”

• Traffic recovery is determined by the virus, not politicians or economics.

• Back to peak in late 2023.

• Backlogs holding up (MAX a concern), but meaningless in a downturn.• Just 1% of January backlog has cancelled; nearly half deferred.

•Many early retirements coming, particularly twin aisles.• Primarily twin aisles; A380 bloodbath.

• Aftermarket catastrophe.

Boeing Taking A Hit

Jetliner Types And Fleets Trends And Themes

• Downsizing trend: demand for jets offering equivalent functionality and equal/better economics, fewer seats, than older models.• Thus, A321neo will do well as replacement for older, mid-range twin aisles; A220

will do well as replacement for older 737s and A319/320s.

• Boeing single aisle product line now boxed in; MAX8 fine, but outflanked from above and below.• A321neo increasingly dominant in 180/220-seat segment; CDB MAX10 order

conversion further indication that larger MAXs uncompetitive.

• Embraer JV termination means Boeing abandoning 100/130-seat segment.

• BA 25% R&D cut announced in 1Q call not a good sign for product development.

• MAX8 lease rates, orders (particularly lessor orders) also taking a hit.

• Boeing, in short, is therefore at risk of losing out due to airline downsizing.

• E-Jets will lose market share and/or profit without a large partner against A220, but E175 might control its segment.

• A330neo increasingly at risk of MD-11-like fate.

• Almost all remaining quadjet fleets look set to retire young (1/3 of 380 fleet so far).

• Large twins (777X, A350-1000) look marginal for most of decade.

Concluding Observations, and a Few Consolations

•This situation might get worse.

•This is a synthetic market, not an organic one.

•Deliveries mostly driven by exogenous factors: government aid, third-party and first party finance. These may not hold.

•Boeing faces a very serious mid market challenge.

•Defense companies have an opportunity to grow their civil side. Will they?

•There is some good news:

•An airline paradise, except for the traffic.

• Fuel, Jet costs, Crew costs, interest rates, government support

(for most, and for now); Stimulate traffic, or restore profit?

•Defense: budgets, export demand, industrial support.

•Less business jet frothiness.

•Financial sector stronger going into this crisis.
