Airbus latest 20-year forecast predicts 42,430 aircraft deliveries by 2043, a 4% increase from previous estimates. Growth is expected to be strongest in China, India, and the Middle East, shifting aviation’s center towards Asia. The global commercial aircraft fleet is projected to double, with demand for 33,510 new single-aisle aircraft. This aligns with recent trends, particularly India’s record air traffic in 2022.
