Among the findings within Aviation Week's 2018 Fleet & MRO Forecasts are:

• Strong growth continues for Western-built commercial aircraft. Fleet growth will increase at a 3.1% rate over the coming decade with the Asia-Pacific region leading growth by both volume and value of deliveries, while North America's fleet strength will continue to surpass both the Asia Pacific and Western Europe regions by 2027.
• Commercial 10-year aircraft MRO will, for the first time, exceed $1 trillion in requirements over the upcoming decade, with Boeing and Airbus manufactured aircraft responsible for nearly 90% of this demand.
• Business aviation's fleet will see muted growth at only 1.5% fleet growth on deliveries of over 11,000 jet and turboprop aircraft over the decade. North America will continue to dominate the world's fleet strength; Textron Aviation should dominate unit deliveries at 27% over the decade.
• The worldwide western-produced helicopter deliveries of $45 billion will produce sluggish fleet growth to nearly 30,650 turbine aircraft by 2027, but with a 10-year MRO requirement of $81 billion predominantly in North America and Western Europe.

New features of the 2018 Fleet & MRO Forecasts include the addition of:
