Airbus sees huge plane growth

Planemaker Airbus says the airline industry in the 20-year period 2010-2029 will need nearly 26,000 new passenger jetliners and freighters.

With a market value of US$3.2 trillion, it says the greatest demand for new passenger aircraft and freighters will be from the Asia-Pacific region - which will carry one third of all passenger traffic by 2029.

Across all segments, Airbus tips a continued trend towards new-generation and efficient aircraft that carry more and cost less.
