About this listen
The aviation industry continues to see significant activity with several notable developments occurring in the past 48 hours.
China has just removed its ban on airlines taking delivery of Boeing aircraft, as reported on May 12, 2025, marking a potential turning point for Boeing's business in the vital Chinese market[3].
In leadership changes, Boeing has promoted Matt Welch to vice president and chief financial officer of its Commercial Airplanes division. Welch previously served as the company's vice president of investor relations[3].
On the business partnership front, aviation services provider AAR has extended its exclusive serviceable engine products agreement for the CFM56 used serviceable material partnership with FTAI Aviation through 2030[3].
Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) is making moves in the military aviation sector, displaying a full-scale model of its Hürjet advanced jet trainer today, May 14, potentially improving its prospects in the Spanish market[4].
Boeing's latest commercial aircraft data shows modest activity for April 2025, with eight gross orders from unidentified customers for 737 MAX aircraft. The company delivered 43 aircraft across its portfolio to various global carriers including Air Canada, Air India, American Airlines, Emirates, and United Airlines[5].
In airport infrastructure news, Blackstone recently acquired a 22% stake in British airports group AGS Airports from AviAlliance for £235 million ($304.4 million)[3].
The week has also seen technological advancements in the sector, with Slovakia's Klein Vision unveiling a production prototype of its AirCar roadable aircraft. This new prototype, featuring improvements over the initial version first flown in 2020, is expected to take flight in September[2].
These developments reflect an industry continuing to evolve through strategic partnerships, technological innovation, and recovery from previous challenges.
