Key Takeaways:

  • Honeywell forecasts 4,000 new civilian helicopter deliveries between 2019 and 2023, a marginal decrease from the previous year's outlook.
  • North American operators anticipate higher fleet utilization and stronger purchase plans, driven by law enforcement and oil/gas sectors, while corporate purchases are significantly lower.
  • Despite a slightly less positive global economic outlook, the overall helicopter market remains healthy, with new platforms supporting an expected 3-4% annual growth in deliveries, shifting towards intermediate/medium twin-engine models.
