From the January/February 2022 Issue
The lingering COVID-19 pandemic is still playing havoc with part of the aviation industry as many airlines are hesitant to invest heavily in updating or expanding fleets. On the other hand, the defense end of the business continues to thrive, as governments around the world seek to build up their air power.
Overall, the industry seems to be faring very well and many industry officials expect pent up demand among commercial airlines to eventually lead to a strong rebound in that end of the business, which should help overall demand in the industry.
New technologies should also help the industry expand in the near future. Major breakthroughs are helping to generate greater interest in new types of planes on both the commercial and defense segments. In particular, many commercial airlines are asking for better fuel efficiencies from their new planes as well as the ability to use planes in a variety of short- and long-term flights.
The industry does expect air traffic to increase throughout this year, compared to 2021 levels, with some saying that volume could grow by 20% to 40% in the second half of the year compared to last year’s levels.
On the defense side, governments from across the globe are eager to tap into the latest in technological advances for aircraft, and many industry experts say that they are willing to pay for it.

Missouri: Leading The Way In Aviation
From Charles Lindbergh to the new Boeing T-7A trainer, Missouri has led the way in every aspect of aviation for nearly 100 years. There are more than 100 aerospace manufacturing companies across the state, including Boeing’s Defense Space and Security with more than 16,000 employees; GKN Aerospace and its 1,000 employees working on composites; Seyer Industries specializing in high-complexity machined aerospace parts; PAS Technologies manufacturing, maintaining and overhauling aerospace components; and NEMO Manufacturing creating electrical components for fighter jets. According to World Atlas, the aerospace and defense industry in Missouri employs about 80,000 Missourians and is home to an additional 4,000 interns in engineering-related fields.
The F/A-18, EA-18, F-15, and the aforementioned T-7A are all built in Missouri. In fact, the T-7A jets are part of a $9.2 billion contract that created 1,800 new jobs in the region. And composite parts for the 777X are also Missouri-made.
The U.S. Navy Blue Angels demonstration team flew the Missouri-made F/A-18 Hornets from 1986-2000. These amazing aircraft were finally retired and replaced by the Missouri-made F/A-18 Super Hornets that are still flying high today.
In recent years, Missouri has seen growth and investment by the aerospace industry. Alpine Aviation Group recently expanded into Missouri with a new facility designed to assemble wiring harnesses for aircraft. Boeing took flight with the new MQ-25 unmanned refueler that was designed and built in Missouri, while also landing a $4 billion modification contract from the Department of Defense to produce 78 F/A-19 Super Hornets for the U.S. Navy.
R&S Machining, an aerospace manufacturer, recently invested $13.5 million and created 60 new jobs in Missouri. Arnold Defense and Electronics secured a $10.5 million contract to build rocket launchers and other aviation components. And EWR Radar Systems won a $20.7 million contract from the U.S. Air Force.
In Springfield, Envoy Air Inc., a subsidiary of American Airlines Group, announced an investment in order to service the Embraer E-175 aircraft, and Positronic Industries Inc. invested $2.5 million and added 90 jobs to manufacture electrical connectors utilized in the aerospace industry. 3M also expanded in Springfield investing $40 million to produce industrial adhesives and tapes for the aerospace industry.
A Robust Talent Pipeline. Missouri leaders, at all levels, understand the power of a robust workforce. In fact, it has been a key priority for Missouri Governor Mike Parson throughout his two terms. The state supports talent development across Missouri through its robust and customizable training programs, driven by the Missouri One Start team.
In the St. Louis region, a partnership between The Boeing Company and the local community college allowed a customized, pre-employment aerospace training program to take flight. The program provides 208 hours of instruction in aircraft assembly techniques, work instructions, and more, creating a customized talent pipeline for Boeing and others.
In addition, there are a number of Knowledge Centers around the state connecting talent and industry together in a real-world environment that is moving the industry forward. The Center for Aerospace Manufacturing Technologies (CAMT) at Missouri University of Science and Technology (S&T) is an industrial consortium between Boeing, GKN Aerospace and other industry leaders.

The state is also the birthplace of the U.S. Interstate System, and home to the northernmost ice and dam free port on the Mississippi allowing year-round access from anywhere.
Missouri’s central location puts it less than one-day from more than 50 percent of the continental U.S., and most of the rest within two days, ensuring that the products needed to produce aviation innovation are readily accessible. That central location also makes final delivery convenient to anywhere in the U.S.
Missouri also has one of the lowest corporate income taxes in the country, ranking third in the nation on the Tax Foundation corporate income tax index. And it offers sales and use tax exemptions on machinery and equipment used to establish a new or expand an existing facility, along with property tax exemptions for inventories, and state sales tax and local use tax exemptions on energy purchases. The Tax Foundation ranked Missouri as the 10th best state for new businesses and the 4th best state for labor-intensive manufacturing in their 2021 Location Matters study.
When compared to other states that also attract aerospace investment, Missouri is highly competitive. North Carolina ranks 4th on the corporate income tax index, one spot behind Missouri. Alabama ranks 17th, Kansas 21st, and Connecticut 27th. Nearer the bottom of the list, you find Washington at 39th, California at 46th, and Texas 47th. And in 2017, St. Louis, Missouri was ranked as the 6th best metro for aerospace manufacturing.
