AerCap’s Chief Executive Officer Aengus Kelly said the supply of engine parts could not catch up with demand by the end of the decade.
According to Kelly, while problems related to the manufacturing of airframes will be more easily resolved, the finite supply of parts to build and repair engines will make it more difficult to turn around.
“The manufacturers of those parts way back up the supply chain that do the castings are not going to increase that significantly anytime this decade as far as I understand. So I think we will see the engine issues persist through the decade,” the company’s CEO was quoted as saying by Reuters.
