(WICHITA, Kan.)— It’s been a while since the aviation industry has seen a week like this one.
Boeing delivered the long-awaited 787 Dreamliner, Cessna unveiled its new Citation M2, and Spirit announced it will open a new plant in Chanute.
“I'd love to say jobs are right around the corner when we see something like this,” says Wichita aviation consultant Dave Franson.
Franson says while it’s good news, it’s not a turnaround.
“I would not come close to saying this is a recovery. This is companies doing smart things and taking advantage of the situation their presented with,” says Franson.
Franson says the industry has taken a huge hit.
“We've had a really tough couple of years, 13,000 people in the big companies.”
But Franson says positive talk is a good start to a recovery.
He says companies are positioning themselves to be in the right place when it happens.
