Boeing forecasts demand for 2,370 new airplanes in Middle East over 20 years

-

Boeing has forecast that the Middle East will require 2,370 new airplanes, worth an estimated $470bn, over a 20-year period from 2012 to 2031. While 730 airplanes (31%) will replace current fleet assets, 69% of the demand is expected to be driven by the rapid growth of air travel in the region.

According to the Boeing Current Market Outlook (CMO), long-range, twin-aisle airplanes - such as the Boeing 777 and 787 Dreamliner - will dominate the Middle East 's order books, reflecting the global network priorities of the region's leading carriers, such as Qatar Airways.

Significantly, airlines in the Middle East currently have a backlog of 882 airplanes, 62% of which are long-haul, twin-aisle and large aircraft.

"The Middle East has consistently outperformed the global aviation market over the past few years, achieving traffic growth well above the world average," said Randy Tinseth, Vice President of Marketing at Boeing Commercial Airplanes, who presented the CMO in Doha.

"As the region's leading carriers, such as Qatar Airways, Emirates and Etihad Airways, continue their global expansion plans we are seeing demand for new, efficient, long-haul aircraft, capable of connecting their hubs with any city in the world. With a backlog of almost 174,000 long-haul seats, the region's carriers have significantly more long-haul capacity than airlines in other regions such as Europe and Asia ," he added.

According to the Boeing forecast, twin-aisle aircraft, such as the Boeing 777 and 787 will account for 46% of the region's new airplane deliveries over the 20-year period - as compared to 23% globally. Single-aisle airplanes, such as the Boeing 737, will account for 45% of regional deliveries through to 2031, while large airplanes such as the Boeing 747 will account for 8% of forecasted demand. Regional jets are expected to account for the remaining 1% of the demand.

Globally, Boeing has forecast a long-term demand for 34,000 new airplanes, valued at $4.5 trillion. These new airplanes will replace older, less efficient airplanes, benefiting airlines and passengers and stimulating growth in emerging markets and innovation in airline business models. To meet the growing demand for new airplanes, Boeing has increased production of its popular 737, 777 and 787 airplane families.

As of October 2012, Boeing had a backlog of 4,234 airplanes, of which, 337 have been ordered by customers in the Middle East, including Qatar Airways, which recently took delivery of the first of 30 787 Dreamliners it has on order. The Company currently has a total of 44 airline customers in the region that operate 476 Boeing airplanes.

"The Middle East 's continued success can largely be attributed to the strong business fundamentals of carriers such as Qatar Airways and their ability to successfully leverage natural geographic advantages," Tinseth added.

"We are confident that our range of market-driving products and solutions will continue to play a critical role in meeting the rapidly growing needs of the region's aviation industry," he concluded.

Why Malaysia?

Why Malaysia? The presence of a large number of Chinese passengers on board the doomed flight is being used to strain relations between Communist China and Malaysia, and it may contribute to a future deterioration of their relationship, resulting in increased justification of Chinese presence in the region, and maybe even future Chinese aggression. This may also help explain why a Malaysian plane was targeted, as opposed to an Indonesian plane (Indonesia is already in the hands of the Globalists, and therefore never gets any brinkmanship from Communist China, which is a creation of the Globalists).   Malaysia is probably the only country in the world whose recent leadership has openly criticized the IMF, Israel, the War on Terror and made claims that 9/11 was an Inside Job. Malaysia has a bustling economy, but the Globalists prefer plantation style economies, such as neighbouring Indonesia, which is completely under Globalist control. Since Malaysia cannot b...

SriLankan Airlines Flight Attendants & Ground Staff Used As Mules to Smuggle Gold

Gold smuggling racketeers have once again commenced using Flight Attendants of   SriLankan Airlines   as mules to smuggle gold into the country. A 27 year old former Mihin Lanka Flight Steward Meewala Arachchige Chanuka, who recently joined SriLankan Airlines after the airlines merged, confessed to Custom Officers when he was apprehended a few days ago, that he was promised a sum of Rs 40, 000 for carrying the 6.5 kilo grams of gold valued at Rs 35 million. This reported apprehension is now been taken very seriously by Customs Officers as in the past certain Flight Attendants of the national carrier were used as mules to assist gold smugglers in various ways to traffic gold into the country. The smuggling syndicates had previously roped in many staff by offering then hefty sums as rewards, especially those that had access to the aircraft. Several staff including Flight Attendants, Catering staff, Cleaning staff and the ramp Bus Drivers were all part of a mafia sty...
