This is an established market that is expected to see steady growth from 2009 onwards.

Do you want to know where the sales growth will occur? This new report - The Military Airlift Market 2009-2019 - covers both fixed-wing and rotary airlift products. Many of the world's military forces are in the midst of renewing their airlift fleets, both to acquire new capabilities and to replace ageing equipment. The US remains the world's largest airlift market; its military services have embarked on a number of airlift acquisition programmes recently. However, will the US stay ahead as a market and producer? How will other leading military nations act? This report answers those and other questions. There are also notable programmes in Europe and other regions. Programmes to develop aircraft in India, Japan and Brazil could make those countries significant players in coming years, as this report reveals.

Airlift is a capability vital to military strategies worldwide. This makes it a continuing priority for military forces and governments. Conflicts in numerous countries, the global war on terrorism, as well as recent national and international emergencies, have prompted nations to renew and expand their airlift capabilities. Also, operations in remote and rugged terrain have prompted militaries to expand their helicopter fleets in particular.
