US aerospace giant Boeing released, on Saturday, its latest Commercial Market Outlook (CMO), covering the period from now until and including 2041. In it, the group forecast a global market demand for 41 170 new airliners (of all categories) and freighter aircraft during this period. These new aircraft will have a total value of $7.2-trillion. Their delivery will mean that, by 2041, the total global airliner and freighter fleet will be 80% larger than it was in 2019, just before the Covid-19 pandemic. Some 50% of jetliner deliveries during this time will be to replace airliners currently in service. This replacement of older with newer aircraft will improve fuel efficiency and cut emissions, thereby improving sustainability.
