The company expects an increase in related parts demand as new cargo aircraft orders rise and passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversion demand expands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"366\" data-attachment-id=\"2518\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bccmedianews.com\/?attachment_id=2518\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bccmedianews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/0005953509_001_20250228144611976.jpg?fit=670%2C383&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"670,383\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-title=\"0005953509_001_20250228144611976\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bccmedianews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/0005953509_001_20250228144611976.jpg?fit=640%2C366&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bccmedianews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/0005953509_001_20250228144611976.jpg?resize=640%2C366&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bccmedianews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/0005953509_001_20250228144611976.jpg?w=670&amp;ssl=1 670w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bccmedianews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/0005953509_001_20250228144611976.jpg?resize=300%2C171&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">E-JETS II rear fuselage panels and floor grids being assembled at ASTK&#8217;s production facility [Photo: ASTK]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">According to the 2024 Global Air Cargo Performance Report released by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) on the 31st, global air cargo demand increased by 11.3% in terms of cargo ton-kilometers (CTK) last year. International transport demand rose by 12.2%. In terms of available cargo ton-kilometers (ASTK), the total capacity increased by 7.4%, with international transport capacity growing by 9.6%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">As a result, expectations are rising for continued growth in new cargo aircraft orders as well as maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">The fluctuations in the air transport market directly impact ASTK&#8217;s performance. The company manufactures critical structural components for the Boeing 737, such as bulkheads (key fuselage barrier structures), Section 48 (the rear fuselage), U\/L decks (primary fuselage frame structures), as well as stringers (aircraft frame reinforcement parts). Additionally, ASTK produces fuselage components for the Embraer E-Jet and cargo aircraft doors (MDCD) and related structures needed for passenger-to-freighter conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">Global issues, such as Boeing&#8217;s production disruptions for the B737, can affect cargo aircraft supply schedules and contribute to revenue volatility for ASTK. However, the continuous growth of the air cargo market is expected to enhance the company&#8217;s business stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-open-sans-font-family wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">An ASTK representative stated, &#8220;With the growth of the global cargo aircraft market and anticipated supply shortages, we expect expansion in the aircraft inventory sector. Moving forward, we aim to achieve an operating profit this year through increased new orders and renegotiation of supply prices.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2025-03-31
