这一潜在退出紧随商业航空航天领域数月来强劲的并购活动，通胀压力未能削弱人们的出行意愿。该行业强劲势头的一个迹象是，GE Aerospace 上月以近 120 亿美元从私募股权支持方 Warburg Pincus 和 Berkshire Partners 手中收购了 Consolidated Precision Products。
The potential exit follows months of robust M&A activity in commercial aerospace as inflationary pressures fail to dent people’s willingness to travel. One indication of the strong momentum in the sector is GE Aerospace’s acquisition last month of Consolidated Precision Products for almost $12 billion from private equity backers Warburg Pincus and Berskshire Partners.
