Aerospace and Defense

Today’s commercial aerospace industry is still grappling with the sharp decline in air travel due to the pandemic, which is weighing heavily on aircraft production and the civilian aerospace workforce. The defense industry, in contrast, has seen steady demand and even some new opportunities.

For companies that operate in both segments, the challenge is to foster defense innovation, maintain operations, and strengthen their financial position to offset the declines in the commercial business.
