Boeing CEO warns of airline supply constraints


  • English
  • Arabic

Boeing chief executive Dave Calhoun said there could be “supply constraints” beginning in the summer after a “more robust” recovery than he expected from the aviation downturn during the pandemic.

Mr Calhoun added that he expects Boeing will be able to deliver the “lion's share” of roughly 100 787 aircraft sitting in inventory due to production defects and weakened demand.

With US leisure travel going “gangbusters” and carriers needing to rehire and rebuild their networks and supply chains, Mr Calhoun pointed to likely supply constraints for a while.

“I think that will mean it's a healthy recovery and they'll get back to former pricing levels sooner rather than later,” Mr Calhoun added.

Boeing is working to emerge from a safety scandal following two deadly crashes of its 737 Max airliner and an air travel collapse during the pandemic.

It is also trying to decide the timing of its next new jet programme, a multi-billion dollar dilemma that has sparked an internal debate and put the future of the largest US exporter on the line, industry insiders said.

Mr Calhoun said it would not be "all that long" before Boeing announces plans, but said the plane maker is not rushing the decision.

Regardless, Mr Calhoun said efficiency gains on the aircraft would have to be found during design and assembly, as the next quantum leap in engine technology remains years away.

Separately Mr Calhoun sounded notes of caution about the US-China trade relationship, saying he could not predict when a “thaw out” would open up jet deliveries in one of the world's fastest growing aviation markets.

On Thursday, Reuters reported that Qatar Airways was weighing a potential order for 30 or more freighters, attracting interest from Boeing, which has begun offering a freight version of its future 777X jetliner.

In April, the Gulf carrier said it was interested in a 777X freighter but had not been told by Boeing of plans to launch one.

Mr Calhoun pushed back against uncertainty over demand and certification challenges for the 777X, saying there will “always be routes” for the mini-jumbo. But he added the Boeing board had not yet approved a freighter version.

Electoral College Victory

Trump has so far secured 295 Electoral College votes, according to the Associated Press, exceeding the 270 needed to win. Only Nevada and Arizona remain to be called, and both swing states are leaning Republican. Trump swept all five remaining swing states, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, sealing his path to victory and giving him a strong mandate. 

 

Popular Vote Tally

The count is ongoing, but Trump currently leads with nearly 51 per cent of the popular vote to Harris’s 47.6 per cent. Trump has over 72.2 million votes, while Harris trails with approximately 67.4 million.

What drives subscription retailing?

Once the domain of newspaper home deliveries, subscription model retailing has combined with e-commerce to permeate myriad products and services.

The concept has grown tremendously around the world and is forecast to thrive further, according to UnivDatos Market Insights’ report on recent and predicted trends in the sector.

The global subscription e-commerce market was valued at $13.2 billion (Dh48.5bn) in 2018. It is forecast to touch $478.2bn in 2025, and include the entertainment, fitness, food, cosmetics, baby care and fashion sectors.

The report says subscription-based services currently constitute “a small trend within e-commerce”. The US hosts almost 70 per cent of recurring plan firms, including leaders Dollar Shave Club, Hello Fresh and Netflix. Walmart and Sephora are among longer established retailers entering the space.

UnivDatos cites younger and affluent urbanites as prime subscription targets, with women currently the largest share of end-users.

That’s expected to remain unchanged until 2025, when women will represent a $246.6bn market share, owing to increasing numbers of start-ups targeting women.

Personal care and beauty occupy the largest chunk of the worldwide subscription e-commerce market, with changing lifestyles, work schedules, customisation and convenience among the chief future drivers.
