Top 100 Aerospace Companies (2019)
Profits continue to increase for the Top 100 Aerospace Companies in the world in 2019.
The 2019 list of the Top 100 Aerospace Companies, compiled by Flight Global has been released.
Key Excerpts:
Last year proved highly profitable for most of the world’s biggest aerospace companies. The top 100 continued to increase profits, even with overall modest revenue growth. The biggest 20 companies have also improved on their share of overall profits. Last year, the largest fifth accounted for 78% of profits, and 76.2% of sales. This time, the top 20 were responsible for 82.2% of profits.
The figures are based on FlightGlobal’s analysis of the annual results of 100 aerospace businesses based on turnover – which once again we have carried out with Counterpoint Market Intelligence. Companies with revenues deriving almost entirely from aerospace are ranked alongside aerospace units of larger corporations – such as General Electric, Honeywell or United Technologies.
Since an aerospace company’s website is one of its most important marketing assets, I included two indicators of a site’s authority as measured by Alexa.com:
- Alexa Traffic Rank – an estimate of how popular your site is relative to all other sites. The Alexa Rank answers the question: Compared to all other sites, how is my site doing? Note that since rank is a relative measure, a site’s rank is not only dependent on that site’s traffic, but also on changes to traffic on other sites.
- Sites Linking In – inbound links help search engines clearly define your niche and also increase the trust and quality of your site. Authoritative inbound links (from sites that are performing well) give a site credibility. A higher number of inbound links are generally obtained by producing engaging, original content.

One of the best things an aerospace company can do to improve their marketing effectiveness is to start an educational company blog. This post explains the benefits of blogging for defense contractors:
Social media is a marketing tactic that is getting increased adoption and usage by aerospace companies. Social media is enabling aerospace companies to increase awareness amongst key audiences, including potential employees. More importantly, per the study referenced in “15 Reasons Why More Aerospace & Defense CEOs are “Liking” Social Media,” it is just plain good for business.

A Public List By Douglas Burdett
Given the growing importance of Twitter to aerospace companies, I have included a link to each company’s Twitter account if I was able to locate one. I have also set up a list on Twitter of the companies on this Top 100 list which can be seen by clicking here or on the adjacent graphic. And, you can see the list’s real-time tweets at the bottom of this page.
Similarly, given the many benefits of having a LinkedIn company page, I have included links to each aerospace firm’s LinkedIn company page for those I was able to locate.
Now, on to the list.
The Top 100 was compiled by aerospace experts at FlightGlobal. The information used in preparing the report was obtained from company annual reports, public filings and other publicly available information.
