The 2009 Import and Export Market for Mechanically Propelled Airplanes and Other Aircraft of Unladen Weight Not Exceeding 2,000 Kg Excluding Helicopters in Australia

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on mechanically propelled airplanes and other aircraft of unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kg excluding helicopters in Australia face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying mechanically propelled airplanes and other aircraft of unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kg excluding helicopters to Australia? How important is Australia compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of mechanically propelled airplanes and other aircraft of unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kg excluding helicopters vary from one country of origin to another in Australia? On the supply side, Australia also exports mechanically propelled airplanes and other aircraft of unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kg excluding helicopters. Which countries receive the most exports from Australia? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers?

This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for mechanically propelled airplanes and other aircraft of unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kg excluding helicopters in Australia. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for mechanically propelled airplanes and other aircraft of unladen weight not exceeding 2,000 kg excluding helicopters for those countries serving Australia via exports, or supplying from Australia via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
