Airbus A380, growing with the emerging markets (from Airbus Global Market Forecast)

Dossier archivé Analyse touristique le octobre 14, 2007

With the first Airbus A380 to be delivered to Singapore Airlines on Monday, 15th October, I think it will be very interesting to read some market analyse from Airbus.

The Airbus Global Market Forecast gives a broad analysis of world traffic development as well as a year-by-year fleet evolution of the world's largest aircraft operators over the next 20 years.

According to Airbus:

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow to a third of the worldwide market by 2025; transpacific, Europe-to-Asia and transatlantic long haul routes will increase by 60 per cent.

Asia has the making of new economic paradigm with positive long term structural forces :
>Rising middle class
>Emerging household credit culture
>Demographic sweet spot
>A more "laissez faire" lifestyle
>Rapid urbanisation
>China in the same backyard

Well, Singapour Airlines is leading the trend !

I suggest reading this 2 papers:

demand-for-air-travel

demand-for-passenger-aircraft

I give some extract from their studies on emerging market and one about a futur big big "jumbo" !!!







The Airbus VLA, Airbus Very Large Aircraft could be a big big "jumbo" with more than 1.200 passengers.
