Meanwhile, widebody airplanes such as the 787 and 777
provide the needed range and economics to open markets
that were inaccessible in the past. The
787 continues to open new markets
to and from the region. Both Japan, a
mature market, and China, a rapidly
growing market, have employed the 787
to grow long-haul share. In China, the
long-haul growth rate since 2010 has
been 18 percent, with the 787 being
used primarily to open new markets. In
Japan, long-haul growth has been at
9 percent since 2010, with more than
two-thirds of its new 787s being used
to open new markets. These market
dynamics will lead to regional need for
3,590 new widebody airplanes by 2034.
