I genuinely believe that the last 18 months has proven the value of aerospace to the world
00:09
and what we bring to society in terms of a force for good.
00:15
What we can see now is some of the biggest domestic markets for air travel
00:20
really recovering very well, starting with the largest ones,
00:25
but we're still lagging behind with respect to international traffic
00:30
and we need that for globalisation, we need that for multilateralism and the growth of prosperity.
00:39
From our point of view we specialise in aircraft maintenance
00:43
and that's going to be very interesting over the next couple of years
00:46
as the maintenance portfolio changes for airlines.
00:49
So unfortunately a lot of the older aircraft will go out of the fleets,
00:53
they'll be replaced with newer aircraft, which will cause specific issues for us as a maintenance company.
00:59
We have to then keep pace with that transition
01:02
and make sure that our capability keeps pace with the airline's fleets.
01:06
We believe that our market is very resilient
01:09
and that it will eventually get back to the levels that were experienced pre-COVID.
01:15
Of course the recovery starts with the smaller aircraft
01:18
where domestic and regional travel starts to recover first
01:22
and then we'll get into more international travel.
01:27
Right now we're seeing that happen in different spots across the globe
01:32
and here in the Middle East, if we look back to September,
01:36
the data that we have from September,
01:38
it's shown that airline operations is back to about 70% of pre-COVID levels,
01:46
which is a good sign and again an indication that the industry is back on track
01:50
and we're very excited for the future,
01:54
the future that we cooperate and partner with our airline customers
01:58
and continue supporting their growth with the vast suite of airplane products
02:03
that we offer through our family line.
