Current Market Outlook2011–2030
Long-Term Market—Overview
Air travel market recoveringPassenger air traffic rose 8 percent in 2010, after declining about 2 percent in 2009. The persistent resilience of air travel is expected to sustain 6 percent growth in 2011 and keep the growth rate at or above the historical trend through the middle of the decade.
Although volatile fuel costs, political upheaval in the Middle East and North Africa, and unresolved government debt in many industrialized economies create risk of a renewed downturn, commercial aviation has weathered such shocks to the system in the past. Recovery has followed each event as the industry reliably returned to its long-term growth rate of approximately 5 percent per year. We see that same resilience come into play as airlines have skillfully managed capacity to maintain profitability in face of the variety of challenges that have beset the industry as the world economy emerges from the global recession.
Purpose of the forecastThe Current Market Outlook is our long-term forecast of air traffic volumes and airplane demand. Each year’s forecast starts from a blank computer screen, so we can factor the current business conditions and developments into our analysis of the long-term drivers of air travel.
The forecast details demand for passenger and freighter airplanes, both for fleet growth and for replacement of airplanes that retire during the forecast period.
We have shared the forecast with the public since 1964 to help airlines, suppliers, and the financial community make informed decisions.
The shape of the marketThe long-range forecast for 2011 anticipates delivery of 33,500 new airplanes over the next 20 years, valued at more than $4.0 trillion. Looking back at our forecasts over the past 10 years reveals that our projections for long-term market growth tend to be conservative, compared to actual industry performance.
We have been admirably accurate, however, on the crucial forecast of the market share that each airplane size category will capture. Single-aisle airplanes account for the majority of deliveries over the next 20 years—70 percent of the airplanes and 48 percent of the value. Rapidly expanding air service within China and other emerging economies and the spread of low-cost carrier (LCC) business models throughout the world drive this market segment. The twin-aisle market, which includes efficient long-range airplanes such as the Boeing 787 and 777, is the fastest growing segment of the market, accounting for 22 percent of the delivery units and 43 percent of the delivery dollars. High fuel costs are compelling airlines to accelerate replacement of older airplanes. In addition, the increased capabilities of the latest long-range, twin-aisle airplanes create opportunities for operators to take advantage of the ongoing liberalization of air transport markets to open new nonstop routes.

Near-term environmentRecent data suggests that the global economy continues to recover, though as expected, the pace of growth has moderated compared to the strong rebound in late 2010. Emerging economies, led by China, outpace the average world GDP growth, while the established economies of the United States, Europe, and Japan are expanding at a more modest rate. High oil prices and price volatility resulting from the political unrest in the Middle East pose the primary threats to continued recovery.
Passenger traffic reboundMirroring the economic recovery, passenger traffic will be buoyed by growing demand in emerging markets and bolstered by low-cost carriers. These drivers will help keep worldwide demand for air transport at or above the historical 5 percent growth trend, as the effects of recent shocks subside in the second half of 2011.
Air cargo recoveryAir cargo traffic surged to recover prior peak volumes more quickly than expected in 2010. Growth in air cargo will retreat toward the long-term trend in 2011 as moderating economic growth, rising fuel prices, and supply chain disruptions from the Japan earthquake work affect the industry.
Airline profitability revivesAirlines are managing capacity to maintain yields and profitability in the face of challenging external events, including the political upheaval in the Middle East, the earthquake in Japan, and the continued volatility of fuel cost. Although global airline profitability is expected to decline from last year’s record levels, it will remain positive—despite the more than 30 percent jump in fuel prices compared to last year. Currently, airlines are projected to earn US$4 billion in net profits in 2011, compared to US$18 billion earned in 2010. Airlines in Asia are forecast to be the most profitable, driven by growing demand within the region. North American airlines will follow closely, boosted by capacity discipline in the US domestic market.

Forecast Summary
New business models, emerging economies support airplane demandWorldwide economic activity is the most powerful driver of growth in commercial air transport and the resulting demand for airplanes. The global gross domestic product (GDP) is projected to grow at an average of 3.3 percent per year for the next 20 years. Reflecting this economic growth, worldwide passenger traffic will average 5.1 percent growth and cargo traffic will average 5.6 percent growth over the forecast period.
To meet this increased demand for air transportation, the number of airplanes in the worldwide fleet will grow at an annual rate of 3.6 percent, nearly doubling from around 19,400 airplanes today to more than 39,500 airplanes in 2030. Airplane deliveries, for fleet growth and replacement of aging airplanes, will total 33,500 over the next 20 years, with a value of US$4.0 trillion.
Low-cost carriers expanding across all regionsCommercial aviation continues to change in response to market opportunities and challenges. New airline business models and the dynamic growth of air travel in emerging economies throughout the world are diversifying the demand for airplanes. As global air travel declined in 2009, there were still many markets and business models that experienced growth. Over the next 20 years, 78 percent of demand for new airplanes will come from outside North America, with about 34 percent of deliveries going to the Asia Pacific region. The low-cost carrier (LCC) model continues to expand across all regions, with LCC fleets expected to grow at an annual rate of 5.7 percent.
The Boeing forecast continues to predict that the greatest demand for new aircraft, by country, will come from the United States, followed by China. Remarkably, the United Arab Emirates, with a population of less than 9 million people, yet home to several highly competitive airlines, will be the third largest market by value.

Methodology
Practical valueBoeing uses the long-term forecast contained in the Current Market Outlook to guide product strategy and to develop long-term business planning. We have shared this information with the public since 1964 to help airlines, suppliers, and financiers make informed business decisions.
Cyclicality in air travel demandGlobal and regional economic cycles profoundly affect air travel demand, so it is essential to take the current phase of the economic cycle into account in developing the long-term forecast. When consumer confidence and business confidence fall, as they did during the recession that began in 2008, air travel demand follows suit. But historically, air travel has proved resilient. Perturbations from the long-term trend are typically relatively short lived, lasting about a year. As confidence rises, air travel often surges, surpassing historical average growth rates to return to the long-term trend. Adjusting for the cycle is part of the forecast process.
The air travel demand forecast processThe air travel demand forecast is developed by constructing and matching both a top-down and a bottom-up approach. Traffic between individual countries is forecast based on economic predictions, growth momentum, historical trends, and projections of the relative openness of bilateral air services and domestic regulation. Government statistics on inbound and outbound tourism receipts help to identify and cross-check trends. We also factor in the potential positive or negative effects of specific developments peculiar to each region, such as population dynamics, shifts toward or away from other modes of transport, including high-speed rail, and emergence of new direct air services between countries.
The individual countries are grouped into 11 geographical regions that generate 63 air traffic flows between and within the regions. Next we reconcile the “bottom-up” projection, which is constructed from country-level economic, demographic, air transport, and travel data, with the “top-down” projection, which is obtained by dividing top-level global data into the same regional flows, allowing for shifts in shares between regions. The regional traffic forecasts are then used to help develop the airplane demand forecast.

Methodology—continued
Drivers of air travelGrowth in air travel, measured in revenue passenger-kilometers (RPK), has historically outpaced economic growth, represented by GDP, by approximately 1.5 to 2.0 percent. This leads us to conclude that about 60 to 80 percent of air travel growth can be attributed to economic growth, which in turn is driven, in part, by international trade. This is consistent with the observation that countries whose economies are tied to trade tend to have higher rates of air travel. Air travel revenues consistently total about 1 percent of GDP in countries around the world, regardless of the size of the national economy. Globally, air travel has historically trended toward this consistent share of GDP, such that countries that are below or above this level will generally move toward it over the long term.
The remaining 20 to 40 percent of air travel growth results from the stimulation provided by the value travelers place on the speed and convenience that only air travel can offer. For example, travelers value choice of arrival and departure times, routings, nonstop flights, choice of carriers, service class, and fares. Liberalization is the primary driver enabling value creation in the global air transport network. Liberalization typically gives rise to a “bump” in traffic demand. Studies suggest that as the relative openness of a country’s bilateral air service rises from the 20th percentile to the 70th, the resulting increase in traffic can boost air travel demand by an additional 30 percent.
Often, economic growth, induced directly and indirectly by improved air services, creates a virtuous circle that leads to further air transport growth, which in turn leads to added economic growth, and so on.
The percentage of air transport growth that comes from economic development compared to the percentage that comes from the value of air travel services is an indicator of the maturity of an air travel market. Although individual regions may exhibit signs of slowing due to maturing markets, other regions continue to grow vigorously. Current global percentages do not indicate that the market is nearing maturity in aggregate.

Fleet Developments
Fleet size will doubleBoeing forecasts that the fleet will grow from about 19,400 planes in 2010 to more than 39,500 by 2030. The need to replace older, less efficient airplanes will account for 40 percent of the projected market for new airplanes. The 2011 forecast anticipates 13,360 airplanes will be replaced over the next 20 years. This reflects rising fuel prices and the increasing economic burden of using older, less capable, and less efficient airplanes. At this replacement rate, 85 percent of the fleet operating in 2030 will have been delivered after 2011.
Surging demand for single-aisle aircraftToday, there are 12,100 single-aisle airplanes in operation around the world, representing 62 percent of the total jet fleet. The single-aisle fleet is forecast to more than double, reaching 27,750 airplanes or 70 percent of the total fleet by 2030, largely reflecting the rapid expansion of air services in Asia, the rise of intraregional air travel in emerging economies, and the growth and geographic expansion of the low-cost-carrier model.
The fastest growing market will be for twin-aisle airplanes. This segment is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 4.4 percent. The twin-aisle fleet will grow from 3,640 airplanes in operation today to 8,570 airplanes in 2030. In 20 years, much of the in-service fleet will be newer aircraft, such as the Boeing 787 and 777, which offer more passenger comfort, improved efficiency, and better environmental performance than the airplanes they replace.
There is expected to be modest growth in the large aircraft fleet over the long term. The number of large airplanes in the fleet will grow from about 770 today to 1,140 in 2030. Nearly all the gain in large aircraft is coming from the freighter market. The number of large passenger airplanes in operation today is around 450. The large airplane passenger fleet will remain at approximately that level over the long term.
Modest upgaugingThe average seat count of airplanes in the fleet will verge upward incrementally as fuel and operating cost pressures encourage airlines to go to larger seat counts within all airplane size categories. In particular, due to better economics, small regional jets will be replaced with larger regional jets and small single-aisle airplanes on short-haul routes. Introduction of the 787 and, eventually, the A350 will spur airlines to trade up as airplanes in the 767 and A330 size category begin to reach retirement age. Within the large airplane segment, airlines will look to upgauge from the 747-400 to the 747-8 or A380.

Strong demand for single-aisle airplanesThe short- to medium-haul market has been the fastest growing segment of the commercial aviation industry over the past decade, creating a strong demand for single-aisle airplanes. In 2010, 830 new single-aisle airplanes were delivered—the second-largest quantity in a single year. The expansion of low-cost carriers, growth in intra-China flights, and a substantial need for replacement aircraft will keep the demand for single-aisle airplanes strong into the future.
Among the 33,500 airplanes to be delivered over the next 20 years, 23,370 will be single-aisle airplanes. (This is 70 percent of the total number of aircraft, and 48 percent by value.) In addition to growth in this sector of the industry, the demand for new single-aisle airplanes is due to a need to replace older aircraft, such as 737 Classics, early A320s, and MD-80s/90s. It is expected that there will be a wave of single-aisle retirements starting around 2016 as a number of airplanes become 25 years old—a typical retirement age for jet aircraft.
New airplanes drive twin-aisle demandThe imminent introduction of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and later of the Airbus A350, is driving the resurgent demand for twin-aisle airplanes, as these new airplanes offer significant efficiency improvements over the aircraft they are replacing. Over the next 20 years, 7,330 new twin-aisle deliveries are expected. This represents 22 percent of total deliveries, or 43 percent of total market value. About 40 percent of the demand for twin aisles will come from the Asia Pacific region. Increasing liberalization and the region’s vast geography will promote the opening of new air routes between a growing number of origins and destinations.
Asia leads demand for large airplanesApproximately 43 percent of large airplane deliveries over the next 20 years are expected to go to Asia, with China and Southeast Asia accounting for most of the delivery demand. The Middle East, with its already substantial backlog of aircraft in this category, accounts for another 22 percent of the large airplane market. The 820 new large airplanes (such as the 747-8 Intercontinental and the A380) forecast to be delivered worldwide represent only 2 percent of total airplane deliveries. Yet with a value of US$270 billion, large airplanes account for 7 percent of the total market value. Nearly half of those airplanes are already on order. A substantial portion of large airplane demand is for freighters, due to their efficiency in serving this market.

Freighter Market
Resilient demand for air cargoAir cargo traffic (based on revenue tonne-kilometers) is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 5.6 percent over the next 20 years. Growing world trade, increasing demand for transport of perishable and time-sensitive commodities, and the need to replace aging airplanes will create a requirement for 2,960 freighter deliveries over the next 20 years. About 1,990 of these will be conversions from passenger service, and 970 airplanes with a value of US$250 billion will be delivered new. The air cargo fleet will grow at an annual rate of 3.5 percent, nearly doubling from 1,760 airplanes in 2010 to 3,500 in 2030.
Standard-body freighter market favors conversionsThe largest segment of this market by number of airplanes is standard-body freighters, with a total requirement for 1,240 airplanes. Airplanes converted from passenger to cargo have low capital costs that make them attractive for standard-body freight operations.
Express carriers driving medium widebody marketOf the 720 medium widebody freighters to be delivered during the forecast period, 280 will be new, purpose-built freighters. This freighter segment is largely driven by express carriers with time-sensitive cargo. The larger capacity of medium widebody versus standard-body freighters provides operating cost advantages in this market. Though large freighters hold a greater economic advantage in range and tonne-kilometers, the lower trip costs of medium widebody freighters offer greater flexibility in the scheduling and frequency of shipments.
Intercontinental market favors new large freightersIn the large freighter segment, more than half of the demand will be for new airplanes. The purchase price of converted large freighters is very attractive, and conversions will continue to play an important supporting role. However, the performance and reliability advantages of new, purpose-built freighters are significant for intercontinental cargo operations, where larger, heavier payloads and range are crucial. Of the 1,000 large freighter deliveries, 690 will be new airplanes.

Global Trends
Industry growth in an era of uncertaintyBoeing’s business analysis includes extensive study of global geopolitical dynamics that influence commercial aviation. This research focuses on current events as well as long-term trends. The analysis helps to determine risk and opportunity in the commercial aviation market as a whole, and in specific regions around the world.
Recent global events, including regional political turmoil, natural disasters, and debt crises, have affected global economic growth. While growth is expected to recover, the risk of persistent high oil prices and debt contagion could have lasting effects. Economic growth also could be affected by slowing trade liberalization in some regions. Reduced liberalization could prolong the recovery period, adversely affecting the demand for air travel and new airplanes.
WTO rulings and airplane financeGovernment subsidies for aircraft development remain a concern; however, recent World Trade Organization rulings make clear that such government support must be provided on commercial terms. In the area of export finance, the new Aircraft Sector Understanding agreement implemented in early 2011 helps to level the playing field for aircraft manufacturers and airlines.
Unlike trade liberalization, the pace of air services liberalization has not slowed significantly, although some governments are resistant to further progress. Much of this is due to a reluctance to allow increased foreign ownership levels in domestic airlines. Continued aviation liberalization stimulates competition, giving passengers more choices and generally lowering ticket prices, which increases demand for air travel.
Infrastructure, environment, and securityThe Current Market Outlook projects that the global large commercial airplane fleet will nearly double by the year 2030. This level of growth will require a significant infrastructure investment to accommodate increased traffic. Air traffic management modernization initiatives are critical for both capacity enhancement and system efficiency.
The aviation industry is addressing environmental challenges with a three-pronged strategy of designing more efficient aircraft, improving operational procedures, and developing sustainable biofuels. Moreover, governments throughout the world are aligning with the industry’s strategies to reduce emissions and achieve carbon neutral growth. This approach will allow the industry to grow over the long term, despite anticipated regulatory constraints.
While significant improvements in aviation security have been made globally since 9/11, constant vigilance is still required. Security concerns will continue to affect commercial aviation operations.

Pilot and Technician Outlook
Pilot and technician training requirementsAs the world commercial fleet expands to more than 39,500 airplanes over the next 20 years, the world’s airlines will need to add 460,000 pilots and 650,000 maintenance technicians, both to fly and maintain the new airplanes and to replace current personnel who are due to retire during the period.
Airplane manufacturers and the aviation industry must keep pace with technology—including online and mobile computing— in order to match the learning styles of tech-savvy pilots and technicians. The growing diversity of pilots and maintenance technicians in training will require instructors to have cross-cultural and cross-generational skills in addition to digital training tools and up-to-date knowledge of the airplanes. Training programs will need to be tailored to enable airplane operators to gain the optimum advantage of the innovative features offered on the latest generation of airplanes, such as the 787 Dreamliner.
Pilot outlookThe signs of a global pilot shortage are mounting as airlines expand their fleets and flight schedules to meet surging demand in emerging markets. Asian airlines in particular are experiencing delays and operational interruptions due to pilot scheduling constraints. The forecast doubling of the worldwide commercial fleet emphasizes the increasing need for well-trained aviation personnel.
The largest projected growth in pilot demand continues to come from the Asia Pacific region, with a requirement for 183,200 pilots over the next 20 years. China’s expected requirement for 72,700 pilots is the region’s largest. Europe will need 92,500 pilots, North America 82,800, Latin America 41,200, the Middle East 36,600, Africa 14,300, and the CIS 9,900.
Technician outlookThe demand for trained maintenance personnel will grow in proportion to the expanding global fleet. Many emerging markets currently recruit trained personnel from outside the region to fulfill their growing need for maintenance mechanics, technicians, and managers. There will be a strong need for basic skills training in these emerging markets to develop a local source of technicians.
The need for maintenance personnel will grow most rapidly in the Asia Pacific region, which will require 247,400 new personnel. China’s requirement will be the region’s greatest, with an expected need for 108,300 maintenance personnel. North America will need to add 134,800 maintenance personnel, Europe 129,600, the Middle East 53,000, Latin America 52,500, Africa 19,200, and the CIS 13,500.

World Regions
Regional distinctionsDifferences in the air transport markets of the various regions and the continuous evolution of airline business models cause airplane demand to vary from one region to another. As new airlines emerge, more mature airlines seek ways to preserve and increase their share of the passenger market. Market growth strategies include increasing frequency of service, expanding the number of city pairs served, offering new products, and introducing products to serve the business passenger—all while staying true to the airline’s brand image. The business models of mature airlines are also evolving through mergers and acquisitions; joint ventures with alliance partners; innovative long-haul products, such as Air New Zealand’s Skycouch™; introduction of premium economy class products; and reassessment of short-haul services.
Each region’s airplane demand reflects its unique market characteristics. For example, demand in North America and Europe concentrates on single-aisle jetliners, driven primarily by the need to replace aging airplanes. In Asia Pacific and the Middle East, on the other hand, the passenger market favors business models that rely heavily on twin-aisle airplanes, so twin-aisle jetliners account for a larger share of total airplane demand in those regions than in other regions.
Globalized demandAt a global level, the number of airplanes in the world fleet grows an average 3.6 percent each year. At the same time, passenger traffic, measured in revenue passenger-kilometers, grows 5.1 percent per year. Cargo traffic, measured in revenue tonne-kilometers, grows 5.6 percent a year. The increasing geographical diversity of the aviation industry underlies this expansion and significantly increases the industry’s resilience to regional fluctuations. Notably, some regions were less affected than others by the recent economic crisis and a few regions even continued to grow through the global downturn.

Growing marketsThe global economic downturn did not overwhelm the vigor of this region’s economies–most were able to sustain growth. Recovery on the global scale and the region’s intrinsic economic strength are expected to lead to rapid expansion in the coming years. The region’s economy will significantly outpace the world’s average growth rate, expanding at a rate of 4.7 percent per year for the next 20 years, with China and India leading the way. The region’s share of the world GDP will expand from 27 percent today to 35 percent by 2030.
Rising traffic levelsDuring the next 20 years, approximately half of the world’s air traffic growth will be driven by travel to, from, or within the Asia Pacific region. Total air traffic for the region will grow 6.7 percent per year during the period. Fueled by development of the region’s national economies and the increasing accessibility of air transport services, traffic within the region will grow faster than traffic to and from the region. Short-haul flying, including domestic and international travel within the region, will grow 7.0 percent per year.
Air cargo plays a critical role in the region’s economy, transporting goods over difficult terrain and vast stretches of ocean. Some of the world’s largest and most efficient cargo operators are located in Asia, competing to transport high-value and time-sensitive exports to markets outside the region. Air cargo growth will total 6.3 percent per year during the next 20 years. To service this demand, carriers within the region are expected to take 360 new freighters, with an additional 510 conversions.
To modernize their fleets and meet the growing demand for air transport, Asia Pacific airlines will need 11,450 new airplanes valued at $1.5 trillion over the next 20 years. The number of airplanes in the Asia Pacific fleet will nearly triple, from 4,410 airplanes in 2010 to 13,480 airplanes in 2030.
Liberalization expands marketsThe structure of the airline industry in Asia Pacific is changing as regulations are liberalized and carriers find innovative ways to expand beyond national boundaries to serve burgeoning demand. The impact of liberalization is particularly dramatic in the case of low-cost airlines, which are stimulating air travel by lowering fares and opening new markets. In order to compete, established airlines are forming low-cost units, further expanding the affordability and availability of air travel. Where market development has outpaced official liberalization of markets, new airlines have been launched as international joint ventures, carrying established travel brands into new markets.

China
China market—a 10-year reflection China, for more than a decade, has been forecast by the Boeing Current Market Outlook to be the second largest market for new airplanes (after the United States). Its progress over the past decade attests to the region’s tremendous potential.
The number of passengers carried by China’s airlines in 2010 was 3.5 times the total in 2000. The in-service jet fleet more than tripled to 1,750 airplanes by 2010, up from 560 airplanes in 2000. In mainland China, the number of commercial aviation airports increased from 139 in 2000 to 175 in 2010. Volumes of passengers, freight, and airplane arrivals and departures at airports in 2010 increased dramatically (4.2, 3.6, and 3.1 times, respectively) over 2000 levels. The domestic network of mainland carriers expanded to 1,032 city pairs in 2010 (from 624 in 2000), while their international footprint more than doubled to 258 city pairs in 2010 (from 108 in 2000).
In 2010, for the first time ever, China’s Big Three and Cathay Pacific were among the world’s top 15 carriers, measured in revenue passenger-kilometers; none was on the list in 2000. In addition, Beijing Capital became the second busiest passenger airport. Hong Kong airport surpassed Memphis to become the top cargo airport by tonnage, with Shanghai Pudong airport coming in third.
Plans for full-spectrum expansionLooking ahead, China has articulated policies and macro plans to encourage the international expansion of its airlines and address issues regarding air traffic management and infrastructure. By 2015, China will add 55 new airports, bringing the total available for commercial aviation use to at least 230. As the nation’s high-speed rail network begins full operation, the trains will connect neighboring cities and transport passengers to airports for longer haul air travel. In addition, China is developing indigenous commercial airplanes.
The second largest marketIn retrospect, China’s air travel has been sustained by strong economic growth, increased trade, rising personal income, and progress in market liberalization. At the same time, the rapid increase in air travel, combined with unparalleled connectivity, has fostered economic and social interaction within China as well as between China and the rest of the world.
Over the next 20 years, China’s gross domestic product is forecast to grow at an average annual rate of 7.0 percent, with the demand for air travel growing at an annual rate of 7.6 percent. As the world’s second largest market, China’s airlines by 2030 will need 5,000 new airplanes valued at $600 billion.

Northeast Asia
Modest economic growthNortheast Asia’s gross domestic product is forecast to grow 1.3 percent annually for the next 20 years. This modest growth projection for the region reflects the heavy influence of Japan, which is experiencing lower birth rates and a declining working-age population. The region’s economy will benefit somewhat from Korea’s developing economy, which will grow at a faster rate as its industrial base broadens.
In general, Northeast Asia’s nations are relatively small, in terms of total area, and somewhat isolated by water. The region’s air travel grew rapidly in the 1990s, but growth has dampened over the past decade. This slowdown is due to a variety of factors, including the Asian financial crisis, concerns about SARS, the sluggish performance of the economy, and, most recently, disruptions caused by earthquakes and tsunamis.
Cumulative growth in air travel capacity has reached only 5 percent over the past 10 years. Capacity between Northeast Asia and North America has dropped significantly as airlines have extended direct nonstop service into other markets in the Asia Pacific region. At the same time, capacity between Northeast Asia and other markets in the Asia Pacific region has grown by 36 percent since 2000.
Easing operating restrictionsNortheast Asia’s air travel is forecast to grow 4.3 percent annually over the next 20 years. Operating restrictions within the region are gradually easing. Restrictions involving the United States, Europe, China, and other Asia Pacific nations are also liberalizing, encouraging major network carriers and low-cost airlines to open new markets and to expand services in existing markets. The combined effect of liberalization and rapid economic growth is driving passenger traffic between Northeast Asia and other Asia Pacific countries to grow at a brisk pace. Airport capacity is increasing, particularly at Tokyo’s Haneda and Narita airports. Improved market access; ongoing airport development; increased competition; and expansion of low- cost service to, from, and within the region will nurture the continued growth of air travel.
Fleet modernization continuesNortheast Asia’s airlines will need 1,250 new airplanes over the next 20 years. Airlines in Japan and South Korea have wisely continued to modernize their fleets in recent years, demonstrating their focus on longer term planning. The number of regional jets, including the anticipated Mitsubishi MRJ, is forecast to grow slightly. Single-aisle airplanes for intra- and inter-regional service by major carriers and low-cost airlines will account for 46 percent of new deliveries.
New twin-aisle airplanes, with compelling market economics and flexibility to serve long-range markets, will account for 40 percent of new deliveries. The number of large airplanes in the region’s fleet is expected to remain relatively constant. However, their percentage share of the total fleet will decrease, due to the economic and operational advantages of midsize twin-aisle airplanes.

South Asia
Strong traffic growthTravel to, from, and within South Asia is expected to achieve an average annual growth rate of 8.1 percent over the next 20 years, significantly outpacing all other regions in this report. The economic and demographic trends driving the expansion of air travel are very strong. In 2010, the combined population of South Asian countries totaled 1.65 billion people. Residents, on average, are relatively young by world standards. Real gross domestic product (GDP), per capita, has expanded significantly, growing at an average annual rate of 7.2 percent from 2000 to 2010.
The commercial aviation industry has been helped by liberalization in key markets, including the domestic Indian market and travel between India and the Middle East. Liberalization is allowing airlines to open more routes, add more frequencies, and experiment with new business models. Reforms have also increased competition between airlines, thereby lowering prices. As a result, air services within the region have become more convenient and less expensive. This has happened at a time when people’s ability to travel has increased.
India’s airlines expandIndia’s airlines suffered a period of declining traffic from mid- 2008 to mid-2009. While this downturn was largely the result of the global economic downturn, difficulties were compounded by an ill-timed influx of new capacity, resulting in unsustainable price competition between airlines. But the industry has weathered these challenges, and the healthier carriers are once again expanding.
Although service to the largest cities is generally strong, airlines are considering options for serving smaller cities with smaller aircraft. As this service develops, air travel will become accessible to a broader section of the Indian population, and traffic feeds into the main routes will be stronger.
Indian international air traffic weathered economic hard times much better than did domestic traffic. After a brief period of declining international passenger counts in early 2009, strong growth resumed and it is expected to continue. Particularly robust traffic gains are expected for routes between India and the Middle East, which have been given a boost by the entry of low-cost carriers.
Growing international trade and tourismOutside of India, South Asian airlines are preparing to meet a growing demand for service resulting from increased international trade and the increasing ability of resident populations to travel abroad. Intraregional tourism is already well established, including active routes between India, the Maldives, and Sri Lanka. As household incomes rise, vacation travel both within and outside the region is expected to grow.

Southeast Asia
Airlines expand operationsAirlines in Southeast Asia have emerged from the global economic downturn in a much stronger position. Low-cost carriers expanded and gained market share, and their attractive fares and new routes continue to stimulate demand. Legacy carriers restructured both their operations and their finances to grow and become more competitive. Regional markets will continue to grow rapidly as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) strengthens ties for business and leisure travel, both within ASEAN and with China and Taiwan. Travelers are also increasingly likely to include multiple stops on their itineraries as low fares and integration of regional networks make this more attractive. Southeast Asian airlines have dramatically increased their orders for new airplanes in an effort to meet growing demand and open up new, direct, longer range markets. New, efficient airplanes with improved capabilities and lower operating costs are integral to the carriers’ business strategies.
Liberalization opens routesRegulatory changes and infrastructure improvements are crucial to air travel expansion. Relaxation of market regulations among ASEAN nations, as well as in the cross-strait market between Taiwan and China, has removed many traditional barriers to growth. For example, more than 400 passenger flights per week are now scheduled between Taiwan and China, where service had previously been strictly limited to charter flights. Scheduled service will soon increase to more than 700 flights per week. Flights among ASEAN capital cities have also increased, marking an intermediate step in the path to a unified regional aviation market. Several carriers, not waiting for regulatory liberalization, are aggressively expanding into new markets by acquiring or partnering with other Southeast Asian carriers— operating their fleets as extensions of their own networks. Governments and airport authorities in the region are eager to expand their aviation infrastructures and capitalize on increased trade and tourism. Twenty-seven projects to upgrade and expand airports have been completed, begun construction, or are being planned.
Airlines bolster economic growthCountries in Southeast Asia continue to strengthen their economic relationships and encourage collaboration. Air transportation plays a vital role in the region’s above average (4.8 percent annually over 10 years) projected gross domestic product growth. For example, the development of more affordable air travel options has spurred growth throughout the region’s services sector, including tourism and financial services. The strength of the region’s air cargo operations enables the efficient shipment of manufactured goods. Overall, Southeast Asian air travel—to, from, and within the region—is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 6.8 percent over the next 20 years. Intraregional traffic alone is expected to grow at a rate of 7.4 percent per year. More than half of the deliveries will be single-aisle airplanes, which will be needed to serve routes within the region.

Oceania
A thriving marketAlthough Oceania is a region with fewer than 40 million people (0.5 percent of the world’s population), it accounts for 3.2 percent of global air traffic. Traffic is forecasted to continue growing as the region establishes stronger connections with other Asia Pacific nations and the world. Traffic is expected to grow at an annual rate of 5.5 percent over the next 20 years. Most of this growth will come from flights to and from Oceania, rather than from flights within the region. Flights to Southeast Asia will increase as that region grows as an intermediate point between Oceania and the rest of the world. In addition, there will be more connecting flights to North America, the Middle East, and especially China, as trade and tourism continue to rise. Companies in China are looking to Australia for raw resources; therefore, traffic between those nations is expected to grow at a rapid pace.
Airline strategies continue to changeOver the past decade, Oceania’s commercial aviation market has changed dramatically as airlines have redefined themselves amid economic uncertainty. Qantas, in response to the rise of low-cost carriers (LCC), has successfully introduced its own LCC, Jetstar. Virgin Blue sought to compete against Qantas by creating a spinoff airline (V Australia), but has since changed its strategy and will rebrand all of its airlines under the name Virgin Australia. Air New Zealand has continued to innovate by introducing Boeing 777-300ERs with unique economy Skycouch seats. In general, liberalization of markets is leading international carriers to compete for passengers traveling to and from Oceania.
New airplanes are neededIncreased traffic and changing business strategies are creating a demand for new airplanes in the region. Over the next 20 years, it is expected that approximately 970 new airplanes will be delivered to airlines within Oceania, including 670 single-aisle airplanes to transport people within the region and to nearby Southeast Asia. International traffic will require about 260 additional twin-aisle airplanes and 30 large commercial airplanes. As the region becomes more interconnected with the rest of the world, the economical new 787 Dreamliner will be in demand to serve longer, thinner routes.

Improvement continues despite short-term challengesThe North American commercial aviation market in 2010 improved for the second consecutive year. While air traffic grew at a modest 3 percent, strict capacity discipline (up 1 percent) kept passenger flights relatively full, with load factors averaging 83 percent. Low-cost carriers generated the majority of growth, with passenger traffic increasing 6 percent and capacity up 3 percent. Load factors averaged 80 percent.
Cost and capacity discipline led to improved financial results in 2010, with net profits of at least US$4 billion. Due to continued fuel price volatility and economic uncertainty, however, IATA is revising its 2011 regional forecast downward, with net profits projected at around US$1 billion.
Industry consolidates and strengthens alliancesThe region’s airline industry continues to consolidate, highlighted by major mergers, including the recent acquisition of AirTran by Southwest Airlines. Once the merged carriers have been integrated, the top four US airlines (United, Delta, American, and Southwest) will have a commanding market share, controlling 80 percent of available capacity. Consolidations and increased market concentration are expected to produce a period of stability over the long term.
Global airline alliances continue to grow stronger, as evidenced by the recently implemented trans-Pacific joint venture between Star Alliance members, ANA, and United Airlines. Initially, coordination will include integrating the airlines’ networks and schedules, along with setting airfares.
In 2011, the oneworld alliance is strengthening its ties through trans-Atlantic network enhancements. For example, American Airlines and British Airways are jointly operating a high-frequency shuttle between New York City and London.
Fleet outlook for the next 20 yearsThe long-term outlook for North American commercial aviation is favorable. Airlines are expected to continue focusing on capacity discipline and improving financial performance. Barring a prolonged economic downturn, the airline industry is poised for long-term, moderate growth. As a result, we are increasing our demand forecast in the single-aisle category by 330 airplanes.
Traffic demand within North America is expected to grow at an annual rate of 2 percent, which is below average; however, a majority of this increased growth in the single-aisle category is related to traffic traveling to and from economically dynamic regions in Central and South America.
Long-haul international traffic will continue to grow at an average annual rate of approximately 4.5 percent. This growth is expected to result in demand for an additional 1,180 new fuel-efficient, twin-aisle airplanes, including the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Economic reboundThe European commercial aviation market remained strong in 2010, despite losses from snow and volcanic ash closing air-ports and canceling flights. The Association of European Airlines reports that the total number of scheduled passengers carried by member airlines was up 2.7 percent in 2010, compared to the previous year. Over the same period, members of the European Low Fares Airline Association (ELFAA) experienced a 6.1 percent increase in passengers. European airlines in 2010 acquired more than 270 new airplanes, of which 79 percent were single aisle. European GDP rebounded in 2010, increasing by 2 percent over 2009.
Sustained growth is expected to continue over the next 20 years, with European airlines forecasted to acquire a total of 7,550 new airplanes valued at US$880 billion. A majority of the incoming aircraft are expected to be single aisle, which will account for approximately 75 percent of the total fleet.
Europe is an economically diverse region, with both mature nations as well as newer, high-growth economies. Despite areas of uncertainty, Europe’s overall GDP is expected to continue to grow at an average rate of 2 percent per year. The European Union’s efforts to pursue transport liberalization are contributing to this growth, with negotiations taking place with Turkey, Brazil, India, Korea, and other countries.
Leading strategic changeAirline operations continue to change as new ventures are launched and new business models are applied. Additional mergers and acquisitions are expected over the next 20 years, along with increased emphasis on collaboration with alliance partners around the world.
There is a trend among large network airlines to shift their focus away from short-haul routes that are targeted by low-cost carriers and focus instead on longer haul routes. In 2010, network carriers announced new routes or increased service to cities such as Buenos Aires, Quito, Guayaquil, Miami, San Juan, Haneda, Singapore, and Rio. Meanwhile, low-cost carriers have continued to add service in the short-haul markets, with ELFAA members in 2010 providing 30 percent of capacity on intra-Europe flights.
EnvironmentEuropean airlines are continuing to reduce their environmental impact. In part, this is being done by replacing older, less efficient airplanes with newer technology planes such as the 787 Dreamliner. By the end of our 20-year forecast period, more than 94 percent of the jetliners acquired by European airlines will have been delivered as new.

Middle East carriers gain long-haul market share While air transport markets in the rest of the world shrank during the global economic downturn of 2009, international air travel continued to grow for Middle East carriers, demonstrating the region’s prominence in global air travel. International traffic continued to grow during 2010, rising 17.8 percent for Middle Eastern carriers—far exceeding the world average of 8.2 percent growth.
Strong traffic growth The civil unrest in Egypt, Bahrain, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Tunisia has dampened the outlook for 2011. While the impact to global traffic has been relatively minor, some of the region’s most important destinations have been affected.
Despite the turmoil, the region’s economy is forecast to grow 6 percent in 2011, outpacing the world average. The six nations of the Gulf Cooperation Council are forecast to average 7.8 percent growth as energy production expands to cover the shortfall from other oil-producing countries.
Rapid capacity increase Capacity at the three carriers, Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Etihad, collectively has grown 23 percent annually over the past 10 years. Their growth is likely to continue as the large backlog of new, efficient airplanes that the three carriers have on order will provide a competitive advantage over European and Asian rivals. Approximately half the 885 airplanes on order in the Middle East, including 72 percent of the widebodies, will go to these carriers.
Strategy based on location The market strategy of the “Gulf 3” airlines is based on the so-called sixth freedom, which allows an operator in one country to carry passengers or cargo from a second country to a third country via a scheduled stop in the operator’s home country. Sixth freedom privileges have enabled Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Etihad to take advantage of their central location to expand their share of traffic between Europe and Asia. This huge air travel market does not depend on the relatively small populations of the home countries. The three carriers have also expanded into new markets, offering more than 100 weekly frequencies to destinations in the Americas—including Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Toronto, and Sao Paulo. More than 70 weekly flights are offered in the rapidly growing China market.
Newly emerged low-cost carriers are stimulating demand for travel, targeting the young local population and the large migrant workforce. Flying short- and medium-haul routes within the region and to Africa, India, and Eastern Europe, the low-cost carriers supply only 4 percent of the region’s capacity, yet they account for more than one-third of the region’s backlog of single-aisle airplanes.

A bright futureThe region’s economy is projected to grow strongly over the next 20 years, spurring Latin American air traffic growth to exceed the world average. Traffic within the region is expected to grow at a rapid pace, most quickly within South America, where growth will average 7.0 percent per year. By 2030, South America will have the sixth largest internal traffic flow among the regions covered in the Current Market Outlook. Total traffic carried by Latin American airlines will grow 6.9 percent annually.
Business developmentsAir travel is assuming an increasingly important role in the region’s commerce as travelers switch from roads to air transportation. Rising prosperity is also creating demand for international travel. More citizens can afford to travel outside the region and more businesses seek wider economic bonds. In addition, the upcoming Olympic Games and World Cup will require a growth in airline fleets and infrastructure in South America. The region has a large number of new jets on order to meet this escalating demand, with network carriers and low-cost carriers placing 187 orders in 2010.
Airlines have been consolidating to expand their businesses across the region. During 2010, Avianca and TACA completed their merger, and LAN and TAM announced their merger into LATAM. Opportunities may exist for further consolidation in the region over the next 20 years. These more competitive airlines will allow Latin America to have a more substantial stake in the airline market. Today, Latin American airlines account for 48 percent of the traffic to, from, or within Latin America. By 2030, that number will grow to 61 percent.
Growing fleetProjected GDP growth of 4.2 percent per year over the next 20 years will help drive the commercial fleet to grow 5.6 percent annually. By 2030, the fleet will consist of 3,390 airplanes. Most of the fleet delivered over the next 20 years will be new single-aisle airplanes for travel within the region. About 360 twin-aisle and larger airplanes will be used for connections with the rest of the world as international commerce increases. By increasing the size of the twin-aisle fleet and using new, efficient airplanes such as the 787, airlines in Latin America will be able to serve new city pairs and give passengers more convenient routes.

Younger, more efficient fleetThe commercial aviation market in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) continues to grow as the region’s airlines add new airplanes to their fleets. We are forecasting that the CIS will acquire 1,080 new airplanes, valued at US$110 billion, over the next 20 years. Of that total, 32 percent of the airplanes are in current backlog and expected to be delivered in the next five years.
The freighter market is also growing, with 60 new airplanes— as well as 130 converted airplanes—needed to meet demand in the region. More than 65 percent of the new freighters will be in the large category.
Economy recoveringThe region’s economies had moderate growth in 2010. GDP was up 4.3 percent, compared to the substantial decline of 4.1 percent in 2009. Overall, we expect the GDP to grow at an average annual rate of 3.4 percent over the next 20 years. Russia continues to be the largest driver of the economy, accounting for 70 percent of GDP in 2010, followed by Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
Passenger traffic remains strong—up 10.1 percent in the first quarter of 2011, according to Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency. Domestic passengers account for nearly 60 percent of this traffic. Over the next 20 years, air travel is expected to grow at an annual rate of 4.2 percent.
Potential for domestic growthA projected 680 new single-aisle airplanes will be needed over the next 20 years to support anticipated domestic growth. Given the diverse geography of the region, airline travel is expected to become more attractive as liberalization occurs and personal incomes increase.
Market growth is being supported by government programs to upgrade airports. In Russia, there are plans to replace a runway at Moscow’s Domodedovo airport in 2015. This will help the airport to reach its planned capacity of 50 million passengers.
The budget travel market is especially underserved in the CIS, because low-cost carriers serve only a small percentage of the domestic market. Currently, low-cost carriers account for less than 4 percent of domestic airline seats in the CIS, which is well below market share in most regions. With only 5 percent of Russia’s population using air services, there are substantial opportunities for airlines to stimulate the market and win new customers.

Rapid economic growthThe World Bank forecasts that the economies of sub-Saharan Africa will grow 5.3 percent this year and 5.5 percent in 2012. North African and the Middle East economies will grow 4.3 percent this year and 4.4 percent in 2012. Commodity markets account for much of this growth, as manufacturing countries, particularly China, seek to hedge against volatility by negotiating long-term contracts with African producers of raw materials. Direct foreign investment, growing urbanization, and rising incomes will spur higher domestic demand for consumer goods and transportation. The International Monetary Fund predicts that over the next 5 years, seven of the world’s 10 fastest growing economies will be in Africa.
Air transport poised for expansionAfricans are turning increasingly to air travel, as road and rail infrastructure remains underdeveloped. The resulting boost in demand for airplanes has generated firm orders for jet and turbo-prop airframes and created a favorable climate for aircraft leasing companies. The average age of the African fleet has declined as established airlines modernize for fuel efficiency and higher capacity. More developed nations such as Nigeria and South Africa have undertaken ambitious airport infrastructure projects to alleviate congestion and address safety concerns. The Yamoussoukro Decision on the Liberalization of Air Transport Markets in Africa, which set out in 1999 to create a single African sky by 2002, has languished in recent years, but is now receiving renewed attention.
Meeting greater competitionMany state-run airlines in Africa have given way to privately owned entities that are better able to compete with the foreign operators currently predominant in intercontinental routes. Competition has markedly increased in recent years as Middle Eastern airlines have introduced larger capacity airplanes, higher frequencies, and lower fares to markets traditionally dominated by European carriers.
African airlines have responded by forming code-share agreements with foreign carriers, particularly with Asian airlines. The entry of African carriers as full or associate members into the three global airline alliances, Star Alliance, SkyTeam, and oneworld, signals even more significant progress in African aviation. The additional market reach that these alliances afford is expected to foster competition on intra-Africa routes and create opportunities for emerging unaffiliated carriers.
