Bizav a 'Focus' Area of Combined Collins-B/E Aerospace
Company eyes market of more than 20,000 business jets, estimating $200,000 to more than $1 million of “opportunity” per aircraft.

The business aviation aftermarket will be a “prime area of focus” after Rockwell Collins completes its acquisition of B/E Aerospace early next year, Collins president, chairman and CEO Kelly Ortberg said yesterday during the company’s third-quarter investor call. He cited the more than 20,000 business jets for which the company “can offer a full complement of interiors, from seating to lighting to electronics, while aircraft are undergoing avionics modifications.” Depending on the size of the aircraft, Ortberg said, there is $200,000 to more than $1 million of “opportunity” per aircraft.
