The aircraft tires market is projected to register substantial gains by 2028 on account of mounting expenditure on maintenance, repair, and overhaul of airplanes around the world.

The airline industry is rapidly recuperating from the initial loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic by incorporating crisis-inspired innovation in the sector, such as PPE kits, disinfection of aircraft using ultraviolet technology, biometric check-in, touchless technologies, and inflight social distancing, among others. The recovering air travel demand has augmented industry development in recent years.

Notably, industry players have been adopting lucrative strategies to tap into the evolving marketplace, which has positively impacted the overall business scenario. For instance, in September 2021, Michelin North America, Inc., a leading manufacturer of aircraft tires, obtained a new agreement for Flair Airlines, a Canadian airline, in collaboration with Hope Aero, an aircraft component maintenance expert. The deal entailed the collaboration of Hope Aero, with offices in Mississauga, Ontario, and Winnipeg, Manitoba, with Michelin to provide a streamlined wheel and brake maintenance, repair, and operations package to Flair Airlines.
