Worldwide, IATA, International Air Transport Association, forecasts international air travel to grow by an average 6.6% a year to the end of the decade and over 5% a year from 2000 to 2010. In Europe and North America, where the air travel market is already highly developed, slower growth of 4%-6% is expected. The most dynamic growth is centered on the Asia/Pacific region because of fast-growing trade and investment and rising domestic prosperity. Air travel for the region has been rising by up to 9% a year and is forecast to continue to grow rapidly.
From the 2007 outlook, the global economy is expanding and long-term GDP is expected to grow at 3.1%. More countries are deregulating airline markets. Significant growth is expected in RPKs and RTKs, and number of air passengers. Historically, the annual growth in air travel has been about twice the annual growth in GDP. Even with conservative estimates of economic growth over the next 10-15 years, a continued 4-5% annual growth in global air travel will lead to a doubling of total air travel during this period.
Rapidly expanding low-cost airlines will bring affordable air travel within reach of many more people worldwide, accounting for more than a third of the market for new airplanes. More than half the new deliveries will go to traditional carriers, competing with a strong focus on service innovation and network development.
Developing regions are becoming more significant on the world stage. Rapidly developing economies of the world will increase their share of the need for new airplanes. Over the next 20 years, the demand for world airline fleet will move substantially toward the Asia-Pacific region. More than one third of the value of new airplanes delivered will be accounted for by Asia-Pacific, compared with about a quarter for North America and a quarter for Europe and the CIS.
