Aero-News Quote of the Day
“The association and the participating manufacturers agreed that it was important to adjust the report to only reflect the amount of total avionics sales in the business and general aviation markets. It was recently discovered that some of the participating manufacturers inadvertently included sales from their military and air transport markets when they reported 2012 year-end sales figures. However, the mission of the AEA Avionics Market Report is to exclusively measure the value of the avionics industry for business and general aviation, both forward-fit and retrofit sales. It's also important to note that the 2012 year-end adjusted amount is not a reflection of a downturn in sales. It is simply a correction of last year's sales total for the business and general aviation market only, and we do not expect any further adjustments to future reporting.”
