20-year outlook projects 4,210 new airplanes needed, valued at USD 650 billion SINGAPORE, Sept. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] projects a demand for 4,210 new airplanes, valued at USD 650 billion, over the next 20 years in Southeast Asia. The company presented its
Southeast Asia Current Market Outlook (CMO) today during a briefing at
Boeing's regional headquarters in Singapore. The annual
report forecasts the region will continue its strong annual traffic
growth at 6.2 percent, outpacing the world's average growth rate by 1.5
percent. "Southeast Asia
continues to be one of fastest growing markets in the world – and a key
focus area for Boeing – as the region accounts for more than 10 percent
of the total global demand," said Dinesh Keskar, senior vice president of Asia Pacific and India Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "Driven by fierce competition and growing passenger demand, airlines in Southeast Asia
need the most capable, flexible, economical and passenger preferred
airplanes available," added Keskar. "With their new technologies,
superior capabilities and advanced efficiencies, the continued orders
for the 737 MAX, including the new 737 MAX 10, as well as the 787
Dreamliner, demonstrate the value Boeing's airplanes are providing to
airlines in region." Single-aisle airplanes, such as
the 737 MAX family, will account for more than 70 percent of new
deliveries. As in previous years, the low-cost business model continues
to be a main driver of traffic growth in Southeast Asia, growing to more than 50 percent of the total Southeast Asian market by the end of the forecast period. New Airplane Southeast Asia Deliveries Through 2036
