What the company does

After splitting into three, General Electric is now GE Aerospace: it focuses on making and servicing aircraft engines, both commercial and military. The big business isn't just selling the engine, but the maintenance and spare parts over decades of service life.

What will shape its future

  • The aviation cycle: the more airlines fly, the more engine maintenance they need.
  • Its services and spare-parts (aftermarket) business, highly profitable and recurring.
  • New engine production and potential supply-chain bottlenecks.
