SEATTLE, March 15,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] today released
the 2023 Commercial Aircraft Finance Market Outlook (CAFMO) showing
another year of recovery and increased demand from aircraft
financiers and investors.
"With production and delivery increases and the reopening of
certain regional markets, we forecast aircraft financing needs to
reach near pre-pandemic levels in 2023," said Rich Hammond, vice president of Customer Finance
at Boeing. "This positive trend reaffirms that our industry's
fundamentals are strong and aircraft financiers and investors are
well positioned as travel continues to recover."
The 2023 CAFMO is Boeing's annual review of aircraft financing
trends and assesses near-term market dynamics and financing sources
for new commercial airplane deliveries.
An introductory video, presentation and regional financing data
is available at www.boeing.com/CAFMO. Select highlights
include:
- In 2022, the majority of Boeing airplanes were funded with cash
due to strong operational performance and de-leveraging efforts by
customers.
- While cash funding will continue to play a significant part in
delivery financing, the use of capital markets, bank debt and
export credit is expected to expand.
- 2022 capital markets activity was lower compared to its
heightened activity recorded in 2021.
- Export credit agencies supported nearly 5% of Boeing deliveries
in 2022.
- Lessor-supported deliveries will remain stable but may face
competition from other financing sources.
The Boeing 2022 Commercial Market Outlook, a separate annual
20-year forecast addressing the market for commercial airplanes and
services, reflects that the global market is recovering as Boeing
projected in 2020. Demand for domestic air travel has made a strong
recovery across a number of regions, with international traffic
gaining momentum as restrictions ease, tracking to return to
pre-pandemic levels by 2023 to 2024.
