U.S. Aerospace Trade Group Flags Space Supply Chain Stress as Spring Agenda Heats Up
SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 14, 2026 – The Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), the Washington-area trade group representing nearly 340 U.S. aerospace and defense companies, is managing a dense spring workload. A joint report with PwC warns that the U.S. space supply chain is approaching a serious stress point just as demand surges, while AIA has also responded to the President's budget, celebrated the Artemis II launch, pushed House lawmakers on small business innovation funding, and is now guiding members through mandatory federal cybersecurity certification requirements. The breadth of issues on AIA's plate reflects just how many pressure points are hitting the aerospace and defense sector at once.
