LONDON, UK - September 23, 2009: Airbus expects global demand for planes to reach 25,000 over the next 25 years, its latest long-term forecast has revealed.
In total, the aircraft manufacturer predicts that the value of orders will total £1.9 trillion between 2009 and 2028.
The Liverpool Daily Post reports this will be welcome news in Broughton near Chester, where Airbus produces the wings for its planes.
With production of some aircraft lasting as long as 30 years, the newspaper explained the importance to manufacturers such as Airbus of long-term forecasts.
The plane builder highlighted continued demand for low-cost carriers, increasing numbers of 'mega-cities' and the replacement of older aircraft with modern, efficient airliners as some of reasons for its predictions.
It also suggested that aircraft will become bigger as time progresses.
Explaining the trend, Airbus chief operating officer for customers said: "We need bigger aircraft. We can't just pave the sky wingtip-to-wingtip with small aeroplanes - congestion will not allow that."
