The fall of the global aviation industry did not go around Russia

30

The coronavirus pandemic dealt a terrible blow not only to the airline business, but also to the world's leading aircraft manufacturers - Boeing, Airbus and Embraer. The revenue of the Western giants has already fallen significantly, and this may last several more years. Unfortunately, these events will negatively affect our country. What happened?

Before the arrival of COVID-19, the total global fleet amounted to almost 27 thousand airliners, and their total sales in 2019 were estimated at a record $ 80 billion. Coronavirus and related restrictions have caused terrible damage to a huge industry. It is estimated that next year no more than 20 thousand aircraft will fly into the air, and the rest will be unclaimed. Experts say that in the coming years there will be a “surplus” of airliners, in the thousands.



A representative of Qatar Airways, one of the largest air carriers in the world, said:

We have already warned Boeing and Airbus that we will not take any aircraft this year and next. The planes that we were planning to receive over the next two to three years, we are now delaying their delivery for eight to ten years.


They can be understood: according to forecasts, the total revenue of air transport companies by the end of 2020 will be halved compared to the previous year. Business is forced to reduce costs, which is done by reducing the program of buying new airliners. Because of the forced downtime, carrier companies found it more profitable to massively engage in “cannibalization”, to allow non-flying aircraft for repair parts.

These are very bad news for the largest aircraft manufacturers. According to Reuters, sales of new airliners will drop by the end of the year to $ 20 billion, that is, four times. Not only the aforementioned Boeing and Airbus will suffer, but also a huge number of related enterprises supplying components for the conveyor and providing after-sales service. Among them are such giants as General Electric, Raytheon Technologies, Rolls-Royce Holdings and others. According to analysts, they may lose three quarters of their revenue.

Unfortunately, just so gloating over the problems of Western corporations will not work. Russia also participates in this production chain at the bottom, raw material link. Deliveries of Russian titanium satisfy the needs of Embraer by 100%, Airbus - by 65% ​​and Boeing - by 35%. In the fall, it is planned to suspend production at VSMPO-Avisma, the largest domestic producer of titanium. According to her representative, a stop can be more profitable than working "at low load."

Experts point out that VSMPO-Avisma may be forced to even reduce its investment program and start borrowing funds to ensure the stability of its financial condition.

    Unfortunately, just so gloating over the problems of Western corporations will not work. Russia also participates in this production chain at the bottom, raw material link. Deliveries of Russian titanium satisfy the needs of Embraer by 100%, Airbus - by 65% ​​and Boeing - by 35%. In the fall, it is planned to suspend production at VSMPO-Avisma, the largest domestic producer of titanium.

    Why doesn’t it work? Another how it goes. Yes As far as I remember, it has been repeatedly asserted that the "commodity" economies are much more susceptible to the influence of the crisis. Say, the Russian economy due to the drop in demand for oil in general "kirdyk", the demand fell and everything is very bad. Here we have a similar situation, the problems of "VSMPO-Avisma" will undoubtedly negatively affect the Russian economy, but the degree of influence is incomparable with the problems of Western manufacturers. Indeed, in addition to the aforementioned Airbus, Boeing and Embraer, a lot of suppliers are involved in the production chain, including "at the bottom, raw link". Yes, yes, perhaps news for the author, but" normal "countries produce not only high-tech products, but the very same raw materials at the very" grassroots "level.
    So compare the level of production decline, on the one hand, VSMPO-Avisma, on the other - a long production chain. Compare also how this will affect economic performance.

    VSMPO-Avisma annually produces 40 tons of metal, 000% is exported. Of course, it is difficult to attach 70 tons, but you can find a way out. For example, build titanium submarines. But what should the "leading Western aircraft manufacturers" do, let them have a headache.
    Well, for reference, Ural Boeing Manufacturing is a joint venture, reducing the production of titanium parts in the Urals is a problem not only of VSMPO-Avisma, but also of Boeing.

                - Can a Russian peasant against an educated person have a feeling? By his ignorance, he cannot have any feeling. From the very moment of my childhood, when I heard, it happened, “with a little one,” as if I would have thrown myself on the wall. I hate all of Russia, Marya Kondratyevna.
                - If you were a young military cadet or a young hussar, you would not say that, you would take out your saber and protect all of Russia.
                “I not only do not want to be a military hussar, Marya Kondratyevna, but I, on the contrary, wish to destroy all the soldiers, sir.”
                - And when the enemy comes, who will protect us?
                “Yes, and not at all, sir.” In the twelfth year, there was a great invasion of the first French emperor Napoleon, the current father, to Russia, and it’s good if these Frenchmen conquered us then: a smart nation would conquer a very stupid one and add it to itself. There would even be other orders, sir.

                  I read it again and did not see "contempt" anywhere. You would simply agree that "Smerdyakovshchina is a negative worldview ...." is an unfortunate example, and has nothing to do with either Manilov or titanium submarines, and stopped procrastinating on this topic. hi

                        What is wrong with logic? Demand for titanium is falling, respectively, the price too. The state may well increase purchases. No one is surprised that Trump bought up cheaper oil. Submarines are simply named as an example of possible use; titanium is required for them decently. Deep-sea research, like, is not going to stop yet hi

      For example, to build titanium submarines - let's build. Does it somehow save our economy? In Soviet times, they were already building. Let's do titanium spoons. Strongly reminiscent of:

      Sometimes, looking from the porch to the courtyard and the pond, he would say how good it would be if suddenly an underground passage was drawn from the house or a stone bridge was built across the pond, on which there would be benches on both sides of the bench, and the merchants also sold various small goods necessary for the peasants - while his eyes were made extremely sweet and his face took on the most satisfied expression, however, all these projects ended in just one word ...

        Your nagging economy will help even less. Submarines are just an example. Why not? Just buying metal in the state reserve or increasing the volume of purchases of titanium products for Russian aviation can help the company minimize losses through a difficult period.
        By the way, titanium dishes are already being done, and shovels, and much more, but that will not help, the volumes are not the same.

      If interested, google to help hi

      Consumer prices, according to a published document, will increase in Europe by 2% in 2020, in Asia - by 2,5%, in North America - by 0,8%, in South - by 8,1%. The strongest price increase is expected in the Middle East - it will amount to 8,4%.
      In Russia, price increases are expected at 3,1%. Of the countries closest to Europe, the largest increase in consumer prices is projected in Turkey (+ 12%). In the Middle East - in Iran (+ 34,2%). In some countries, consumer prices will even drop slightly - for example, in Greece (-0,5%), Lithuania and Latvia (-0,3% in both countries), Switzerland (-0,4%)

          Moderate inflation (3-4% per year). This is a normal level, which plays the role of a catalyst for economic growth.

      Are you only interested in prices, or is the economy in general?
      For price stability can mean deflation (America, Europe, Japan), and deflation is stagnation, which is bad. This is much worse than inflation.

    The article is complete bullshit. Boeing shares crashed and fell until May 20. And less than a month later, the price has doubled again, and with small pullbacks (this is normal) rushes up. Airbus is a little worse, but also on hype. It is too early to build forecasts for the future, but world experience shows: falls are replaced by ups. There are no eternal falls. Demand for flights has been, and always will be, and demand dictates supply.
