Airbus have just released their Current Market Outlook - it seems to be more optimistic and monumental than that of The Boeing Company earlier this year... To me predictions about very large aircraft and the change of rhetoric to a much friendlier voice appeal the most:
"Over 1,700 Very Large Aircraft (VLA - 400 seats and above) like the A380 will have been delivered by 2031, valued at US$600 billion. Of these over 1,330 are passenger aircraft valued at some US$500 billion (13 percent by value of passenger deliveries, 5 percent of units). Asia Pacific leads demand (46 percent) for these high capacity aircraft, followed by the Middle East (23 percent) and Europe (19 percent)." (Airbus)
46% + 23% + 19% = 88% That means the rest of the world (for example North America and Africa) are not going to be important markets for very large aircraft... I think this prediction is a little bit wrong... VFA (very fast aircraft) are missing in the Current Market Outlook of Airbus, too...
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
