Air travel is an essential and inspirational part of modern life: it helps drive economic growth and prosperity, brings people around the world closer together, and opens the door to new life experiences. And our industry continues to grow. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), every day more than 8 million people fly to their destinations, and thousands of cargo and defense aircraft also take to the skies. Boeing expects this trend to continue over the next 20 years, with world passenger traffic projected to grow 5 percent annually and the commercial airplane fleet expected to nearly double by 2032.
