In 2024, the aviation industry reached record capacity with 4.9 billion passengers, driven by strong air travel demand and cross-border e-commerce growth. IATA forecasts predict passenger numbers will hit five billion in 2025, a 6.7% increase, supported by improved airline profitability and high passenger load factors.

Leading aircraft manufacturers like Airbus, Boeing, COMAC, and Embraer have well-filled order books, reflecting strong demand. Airbus and Boeing alone have a combined backlog of over 14,800 passenger aircraft. FACC’s products are featured on all major platforms, benefiting from this robust market demand.

Fleet growth will focus on North America, Europe, and China over the next two decades. FACC, headquartered in Austria, operates globally across 4 continents and 12 countries, supporting major aircraft and engine manufacturers. Investing in FACC means investing in the future of aviation and emerging markets like Advanced Air Mobility. With 9 production and MRO facilities, and 9 development, engineering, and sales centers, we drive innovation.

As per Article 2 of EU Regulation 2021/1119, air transport must be climate-neutral by 2050. Lightweight construction technology is crucial for this goal, and FACC has been committed to it from the start. The equation is simple: less mass = less energy = less CO₂ emissions = lower operational costs.

As population density and inner-city traffic increase, advanced on-demand air mobility (AAM) will revolutionize transport by moving people and goods to the air on demand. This system will include low-altitude passenger transport, freight, and public services. FACC’s expertise in lightweight technology will drive innovative solutions for new electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
