Boeing trims projection for 20-year jet demand

Descripción:

Boeing projects a more than 40% rise in global air travel demand by 2030, requiring 43,600 new aircraft through 2044, according to its latest 20‑year forecast. While the total plane demand remains steady from last year, Boeing slightly lowered its growth expectations for passenger traffic, cargo, and the global economy. Single‑aisle jets like the 737 MAX will dominate future deliveries. Boeing faces ongoing production challenges and regulatory limits following recent safety issues, including a mid‑air incident and a fatal crash. Growth in China and South/Southeast Asia will drive much of the new aircraft demand.
