Airbus SE said it expects airlines based in Australia, New
Zealand and neighboring nations to take delivery of 920 new
aircraft over the next 20 years.
This is based on the assumption that passenger traffic in the
Pacific region will rise by an average of 3.2% annually over the
next two decades, according to the latest Airbus global market
forecast.
The expected demand will include about 750 single-aisle jets,
such as the A220 and A320 families of aircraft, and around 170
wide-body planes, such as the A330neo and A350 models, Airbus said
Monday.
About 55% of the expected aircraft demand will be for growth,
while 45% will be to replace planes currently in service, it
said.
"We are already seeing steady recovery in global air traffic and
a renewed confidence in the growth of the industry. This is
particularly evident in the Pacific region, where we are seeing a
surge in travel demand and an increase in flights to and from key
destinations," said Stephen Forshaw, Airbus chief representative
for Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific.
