Key Demand Drivers Aircraft For Growth Aircraft For Replacement Demographics. High fuel prices drives replacement of older aircraft for more fuel efficient types. Emergence of middle class consumers with increasing propensity to travel as economy develops. Emissions / regulatory changes. Transport infrastructure and geographic challenges Aircraft reaching end of their economic useful make air transport essential for growth, particularly in lives. more remote regions. Freighter conversions, driving replacement Global economic growth rates. demand of passenger aircraft. Increasing urbanization in emerging markets. Increasing regional co-operation and progressive air deregulation. Fast developing low cost carrier (LCC) market segment Increasing tourism traffic both domestic and international. 9
Demographic and Economic Drivers Traffic and Propensity to fly 2014 Trips per capita – Log Scale Air travel market penetration still low in emerging markets: 85% of population, but only 40% of trips. PRC and Indian sub-continent will become drivers of long-term growth in Asia. China GDP growth of 5.6% pa forecast (6.6% traffic growth), India GDP 6.6%, traffic 8.3%. Propensity to travel set to increase as income levels rise and household consumption increases in emerging markets. China’s potential will reach current European levels by 2034 at around 1.09 trips per capita. India will be at current Chinese levels (0.3 trips per capita). Increasing middle class: India set to treble from 66 million today to 180 million by 2030.
