Airlines Face $11 Billion Supply Chain Hit in 2025: IATA
Supply chain disruptions are forcing airlines to keep older aircraft longer, adding $4.2 billion in fuel costs, $3.1 billion in maintenance, and $2.6 billion in engine leasing expenses.
- On October 14, the International Air Transport Association and Oliver Wyman released a joint study estimating over $11 billion in extra costs for global airlines in 2025.
- A supply‑chain analysis shows delays stem from a supply‑chain structure favouring aftermarket revenue and external disruptions like geopolitical tensions and raw‑material shortages.
- The study quantifies the costs as $4.2 billion excess fuel, $3.1 billion additional maintenance, $2.6 billion engine leasing and $1.4 billion spare‑parts inventory this year.
- Airlines are reevaluating fleet strategies and, with passenger demand increase of 10.4% outpacing 8.7% capacity growth, are using wet leases and grounding aircraft in India.
- The report urges industry reforms including opening the aftermarket, boosting transparency, shared parts pools, and expanding repair capacity to unlock $940 billion in efficiencies, aiding a $1.007 trillion industry target for 2025.
