Airbus sees no softening in demand despite geopolitical headwinds
Airbus sees no softening in demand for new planes, even with geopolitical headwinds. It expects about 42,000 new aircraft worldwide over the next 20 years, and roughly 45% of them for the fast-growing Asia-Pacific. Its global market forecast head, Francois Cabaret, says Chinese airlines must catch up on fleet renewal. For Indian firms, this signals long aviation, travel and supply-chain growth, so keep long-term plans ready.
