We are in the middle of a global pandemic which is having a devastating impact on the aviation industry. Exiting the Great Lockdown is surrounded by many uncertainties. What seemed to be a pessimistic scenario half a year ago is today considered to be an optimistic scenario. Therefore, it makes sense right now to use scenario planning to prepare your business for a still uncertain future.

In our VZM Market Outlook 2021 for commercial aviation & maintenance we selected a few thought-provoking scenarios to help stimulate your thinking about the future. For each of the scenarios we elaborate on what we think could be the effect on the economy, the airline industry, aircraft delivery and the MRO market.

We hope you enjoy this 21^st edition and look forward to your feedback and comments.
