The aerospace industry faces critical supply chain challenges, including persistent shortages of castings, electronics, and semiconductors, further exacerbated by slow qualification cycles and workforce shortages. Engine maintenance programs, such as the GTF inspection, continue to strain airline schedules and parts availability, driving up MRO demand. Geopolitical risks, like titanium supply constraints, add another layer of complexity, requiring significant time and investment to qualify alternative sources. Despite ambitious OEM ramp-up targets, engine bottlenecks and uneven readiness pose significant threats to progress.
