The aerospace sub-industry is part of the broader <\/span>transportation industry<\/b> in the Index. This includes both aerospace and automotive leaders like <\/span>Airbus, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover, and Volvo Group<\/b>. By number, automotive companies dominate, but aerospace shows stronger results when we look at <\/span>average scores<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

The <\/span>average score of all transportation corporations<\/b> is <\/span>7.58<\/b>. But the <\/span>average for aerospace and aviation corporations is only<\/b> 10.67<\/b>. This means that, even with fewer companies, aerospace is stronger than the transportation industry as a whole. Airbus, for example, ranks <\/span>#1 in transportation overall<\/b>, ahead of major automotive and logistics giants. This proves that aerospace companies may be small in number, but their <\/span>impact is big<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
