No new aircraft on the horizon: AFJ North America 2020 | News | Airfinance Journal

Avitas senior vice president Adam Pilarski believes no new aircraft will be developed for the next 15 years.

“I don’t expect any new aircraft design before mid-2030. This will give time to the OEMs for a true moon shot,” he tells delegates at the Airfinance Journal North America 2020 virtual conference.

Referring to the Boeing Max cancellation,s Pilarski says the aircraft family still makes a “good product”.

“Even with more forthcoming cancellation the backlog of the Max is still enormous and will sustain Boeing for at least a decade and a half giving them time to come up with revolutionary new products at that time,” he comments.

“They will put their efforts to try to come up with a big new product later rather than continue improving their products. We know those planes will disappear in 15 years’ time.”

“OEMs still have a lot of time to come up with new products,” he adds.
