Leading Aviation Week analysts, Brian Kough and Daniel Williams, will present the 2026 10-Year North America Commercial Fleet and MRO Forecast. According to data, the industry can expect more than 5,200 new commercial aircraft to be delivered over 10-years in North America out of over 23,000 worldwide. Both the Airbus A320 and Boeing Max aircraft will vie for leadership while driving the new delivery counts.

Data shows that more than 9,300 new engines are needed to power new aircraft in North America while 8,300 engines are associated with retiring aircraft. North America’s fleets will generate 20% of the global MRO demand of $1.6 billion over 10-years. At the same time, the MRO workforce could be short 20% of its needs by 2028. MRO Americas highlights successful ways to recruit, develop and retain aftermarket professionals.
