新华财经上海10月13日电（记者王鹤）国际航空运输协会（IATA）与奥纬咨询13日联合发布报告称， 航空制造业供应链的瓶颈正在延误新飞机和零部件的生产，导致航空公司需要重估其机队计划，并不得 不延长老旧飞机的使用年限。2024年，全球商业飞机订单积压量创历史新高，超过17000架，远高于 2010年-2019年期间年均约13000架的积压量。生产速度缓慢预计导致2025年航空业成本增加超过110亿 美元。 与此同时，当前的航空制造业经济模式、地缘政治不稳定、原材料短缺和劳动力市场紧张等因素都影响 了订单的交付。 国际航协理事长威利·沃尔什（Willie Walsh）表示，当前，航空业面临飞机、引擎和零部件超常规的等 待时间以及不可预测的交付时间表。这些问题导致今年的成本至少飙升了110亿美元，并限制了航空公 司满足旅客需求的能力。建议开放售后市场将通过为航空公司提供更多零部件和服务选择来帮助解决问 题。同时，增强供应链的透明度将为航空公司提供规划瓶颈所需的数据，同时帮助原始设备制造商缓解 潜在的瓶颈。 报告称，航空制造业可以考虑：一，开放售后市场。支持维护、修理和大修（MRO）企业减少对原始 设备制造商商业许 ...

近日，特朗普政府宣布，自11月1日起，对中国进口商品额外加征100%关税，并对关键软件实施出口管制。 关税大棒乱舞 此举引发轩然大波，有分析认为，这是继中方发布了关于稀土等相关物项的出口管制措施之后，特朗普政府做出的"应激反应"。 在懂王发布上述消息后，美国股市迅速作出反应，当地时间10月10日，三大指数集体下挫，上万亿美元市值蒸发，其中，纳斯达克指数大跌3.56%，创下今 年4月"解放日"以来最糟糕的表现。 不少专家唱衰，美国经济学家玛丽·拉弗莉在接受采访时表示，特朗普加征关税的威胁完全无用。 有观点指出，在美国政府"停摆"期间和人工智能估值辩论之际宣布新的关税，再也没有比这"更糟糕的时机了"。 CNBC的文章则表示，尽管中美贸易谈判进展较为缓慢，但市场普遍认为，两国最终会达成一些协议，且整体关系正在改善。如果特朗普的威胁真的实施， 投资者担心美国经济可能难以承受沉重的负担。 美国管理与预算办公室表示，随着停摆的持续，很快将有超过4000名联邦雇员被解雇。当地时间10月12日，美国副总统万斯亦表示，美国政府停摆持续的时 间越长，联邦政府的裁员幅度就会越大。 这无疑给那些已经在无薪休假状态下的数十万工作人员带 ...
