    The Icon A5 Production Drought.

    Hello,

    Does anyone know (or are willing to guess) as to how long the production of new aircraft will be halted. I believe I heard that few if any aircraft were delivered in 2024. How long before we see new aircraft for US and overseas markets?

    I noticed that Jen and Alex will be assisting people around the world get their hands on used aircraft-to (Congrats to Aero-Capital-Exchange) but it would be interesting to know how long before A5 Composite manufacturing and aircraft assembly will restart.

    Thanks.

    Seriously Doubt it. They basically have to start over on everything in China. They have also recently laid off even more people in Vacaville and others have quit. The knowledge base is dwindling.

    Who all has been let go in Vacaville?

    I still don’t see the logic in shutting Tijuana down. Hell, at least keep it open long enough until you can get your act together on the other side of the Pacific.
