Rockwell Collins Sees Bright Market Outlook
Commercial, military and business aviation markets are all looking up for end-users of Rockwell Collins products.

“I enter this airshow period feeling much more confident,” said Rockwell Collins CEO and president Kelly Ortberg on the eve of this year’s Farnborough International Airshow. Military budgets are stabilizing, he added, “and this provides much more certainly about what programs are going to be funded going forward.”

In the business aviation market, he said, “we’re seeing stabilization in the end markets. We’re not seeing a snapback, but I believe we’re at the bottom of the cycle.” In the air transport sector, “the up-cycle continues to be in full swing. Last year was very important in new product entries with the 737 Max and A320neo receiving a number of orders, and this gives us confidence that we’re in the early to mid phase of that up-cycle. There’s a lot of runway up ahead.”
