2026 General Aviation Parts Survey

PR Campaign
Sunday 23rd August, 2026

Airworthy.com and TBX surveyed general aviation maintenance professionals about the worsening aircraft-parts shortage, revealing that 66% expect conditions to deteriorate as the average piston aircraft reaches 53 years old. The data gave a familiar industry problem a timely, publishable news hook around rising costs, long lead times and ageing aircraft.

Why it worked: It packaged a long-simmering headache into fresh, quantified news with a clear stat (66%) tied to an aging-fleet timestamp (53 years).

The lesson: Consider fielding a quick pulse survey to quantify a known pain, anchor it to a time-based shift, and lead with one arresting stat.

Where does the data come from?

Does this track sponsored posts, or is it earned media only?

It's built to only track earned media - we use AI to filter out anything that we think is a sponsored placement.

What does "ranked by coverage" mean?

It's ranked by the volume of coverage that talks positively about the campaign. We count the outlets covering it, then give a boost to campaigns whose coverage is positive, and those with negative coverage drop down. We're not weighting by outlet size or reach.
