Rapid economic growth, urbanization, and a swelling middle class in emerging economies in China, India, and Southeast Asia are increasing demand for air travel. According to the Boeing Company, Asia-Pacific airlines will need almost 13,000 more airplanes worth $1.9 trillion over the next two decades. Estimates predict that by 2032 the total number of Asian carriers will reach 14,750, up from 5,090 in 2012. As Boeing noted in a statement around the Air Show: “Over the next 20 years, nearly half of the world’s air traffic growth will be driven by travels to, from, or within the [Asia] region.”
