Air Transport MRO Market

Increasing passenger travel demand is paving way for the growth of the air transport MRO market

Air travel passengers are increasing day-by-day across the globe, primarily due to the establishment of more than 700 routes for better connectivity. According to the International Air Transport Association, the global passenger traffic increased by 7.6% in 2017, which is more than the average annual growth witnessed during the last ten years, i.e. 5.5%. This increase will create new challenges for the government to provide appropriate infrastructure, technology and services that can accommodate this growth and to assure that the regulations and taxes do not become a restraining factor for growth. This growth in passenger traffic will also drive the aviation market, in turn, leading to the growth of air transport MRO market.
