Tough market for regional aircraft manufacturers

Robert Agnew, president and CEO of MBA, has warned of uncertainty in the regional aircraft sector and stated that due to the crowded market, regional aircraft manufacturers will face a “battle of attrition”.
He also warned that not all of the five manufacturers ATR, Bombardier, Embraer, Mitsubishi Aircraft Corp., and Sukhoi may survive, especially since ensuring a “global network of spares and infrastructure support for aircraft that look likely to have low production rates is tough to do”, he said.
