DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/22ks46/global_military) has announced the addition of the "Global Military Airlift Market 2015-2019" report to their offering.
One key trend emerging in this market is the new military airlift aircraft development programs. The Air Transport market currently favors smaller aircraft, and several manufacturers are developing aircraft that are aimed at replacing the larger models such as the Lockheed C-130 Hercules.
According to the report, one of the major drivers of the market is coalition military programs such as the SAC-HAW, which is the coalition of transatlantic allies consisting of 12 member nations. The coalition forces utilize military transport aircraft (Boeing C-17 Globemaster III), and were involved in 878 missions in 2013, carrying 48,586 passengers and 37,526 tons of cargo.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the high cost of acquisition and operation of military transport aircraft. For instance, the Lockheed Martin C-130J, one of the most widely used military transport aircraft, costs approximately US$70 million. The cost would be much higher considering the related equipment, training, and support expenses.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry.
