Hawker Beechcraft has received court approval to exit
bankruptcy as a standalone company producing only prop aircraft as Beechcraft
Corp. How does being out of production
affect Hawker jet aircraft? What potential impact will there be on service and
second prices?
There are a large number of Hawker series aircraft in
service around the globe. This
represents a captive market and provides the various vendors with an incentive to
sell, produce, and maintain inventory on those parts. HBC made very few components on these
aircraft, with Airbus manufacturing the fuselage and wings. Although Airbus might not be inclined to
build those parts, there are various out-of-service aircraft that parts could
be procured from.
Additionally, there are a large number of service providers
around the world that have the technical expertise and capabilities to maintain
the Hawker. Bottom line is that support
should not be an issue and there is always the possibility that someone will
buy the Hawker production rights and even re-start production.
What about Hawker prices?
The market continues to factor in the worst case scenario and the result
is depressed prices. In my opinion,
prices are a result of the suspended production and bankruptcy is already
factored in. The fluctuations moving
forward will be the result of what the mid-size market as a class
experience.
