Sean Broderick covers aviation safety, MRO, and the hardware side of the airline business from Aviation Week Network's Washington, D.C. office.
Broderick's aviation career started in 1991, working for Airbus in Toulouse. His industry experience includes four years with an aviation consultancy, where he helped launch a U.S. Part 121 carrier; 12 years with the American Association of Airport Executives, where he served as editor of Airport Magazine; and 20 years in full- and part-time roles with Aviation Week writing primarily about safety and the aftermarket.
Broderick was named the 2020 Aerospace Journalist of the Year by the Aerospace Media Awards. He also shared in a 2020 Neal Award for Best News Coverage with Aviation Week Network colleagues. Broderick and Aviation Week colleague John Croft shared the 2015 Flight Safety International Cecil A. Brownlow Publication Award recognizing "significant contributions by journalists to aviation safety awareness."
He graduated from James Madison University with a B.S. in Communications ('91) and earned an M.S. in Integrated Marketing Communications ('13) from West Virginia University.
Strong organic sales in both its Pratt and Whitney and UTC Aerospace Systems businesses helped push United Technologies Corp. revenues up 10% in the third quarter.
Sales of airline aftermarket services approached double-digit year-over-year (YOY) growth in the third quarter (Q3), reflecting some of the strongest MRO market conditions in years, a Canaccord Genuity survey shows.
Delta Air Lines—seeking to leverage its revamped and strengthening Pacific network and perhaps grab market share being ceded by competitors—plans to launch daily nonstop service between Shanghai-Pudong Airport (PVG) and its Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) hub in June 2020.
