Half year analysis from UK aerospace industry published, 英国航空航天公司
Release Date: 2010-08-11
A|D|S, the UK’s AeroSpace, Defence and Security trade organisation today (Wednesday) published a short report updating figures on the performance of the aerospace sector post the Farnborough International Airshow. The figures update the 2010 A|D|S aerospace survey published in mind-July and reflect the encouraging order figures announced at Farnborough.The main findings are:
* Aerospace is bouncing back after a tough period following the global recession.
* The UK industry remained resilient and revenues rose by 5.4 per cent in 2009 to £22.2 billion.
* A strong performance at the 2010 Farnborough International Airshow (19 – 25 July) saw $47 billion (~£31 billion) of orders placed. This was down on the record performance of $88.7 billion of 2008 but up on the previous record of $46 billion from 2006.
* Boeing (29 per cent) and Airbus (26 per cent) represented the majority of this $47 billion figure.
* The largest single order at Farnborough was from General Electric’s leasing company for 60 aircraft from the Airbus A320 family at $4.9 billion.
* Embraer and Sukhoi also had a successful Farnborough 2010.
* The contrast between civil and defence aerospace reflects global circumstances with the civil side recovering at a time when defence budgets are under pressure.
* Growth in both sectors is significant in emerging economies such as the Middle East, India, Brazil and China as also reflected in the 2010 A|D|S aerospace survey.
Graham Chisnall, Managing Director, Commercial Aerospace and Operations at A|D|S, said:
“The aerospace sector in the UK is in a strong position. It is number one in Europe and second only to the US globally, employing over 100,000 people across the country and with a turnover in 2009 of £22.2 billion. The strong orders at Farnborough and the optimism of the industry around the Airshow reflects the fact that, despite pressures on the defence budget, the industry is on the up, especially in the UK, buoyed by the recovery of the civil sector.
This position of British success has been achieved through a combination of factors such as a strong UK presence by major multinational companies, the agility of the sector that in large part is delivered by innovative small and medium sized businesses in the global aerospace supply chain, farsighted historical investment in technology by both industry and Government alongside strong performance in export markets. This recipe for success must continue so that we can maintain the benefits this provides for our economy and to enable the current Government to deliver on its priorities around jobs, rebalancing the economy and increasing UK exports.”
