Nearly 30% of these will replace older less fuel efficient models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2022\/02\/atr-test-flights-with-100-saf-one-engine.html\">ATR successfully performs test flights with 100% SAF in one engine.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a region which is home to 55% of the world\u2019s population, China, India and emerging economies such as Vietnam and Indonesia will be the principal drivers of growth in Asia-Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the demand for 17,620 aircraft, 13,660 are in the Small category like the A220 and A320 Family. In the medium and long range categories, Asia-Pacific will continue to drive demand with some 42% of global requirement. This translates to 2,470 Medium and 1,490 Large category aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cargo traffic in Asia-Pacific will also increase at 3.6% per annum, well above the global 3.1% average and will lead to a doubling in air freight in the region by 2040. Globally, express freight boosted by e-commerce will grow at an even faster pace of 4.7% per year. Overall, reflecting that strong growth over the next 20 years, there will be a need for some 2,440 freighters, of which 880 will be new-build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2022\/02\/k5-aviation-takes-delivery-of-its-first-acj330-300.html\">K5-Aviation takes delivery of its first ACJ330-300.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are seeing a global recovery in air traffic and as travel restrictions are further eased the Asia-Pacific region will become one of its main drivers again. We are confident of a strong rebound in the region\u2019s traffic and expect it to reach 2019 levels between 2023 and 2025,\u201d said Christian Scherer, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Airbus International. \u201cWith an ever greater focus on efficiency and sustainable aviation in the region, our products are especially well positioned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Globally, in the next 20 years, there will be a need for some 39,000 new-build passenger and freighter aircraft, of which 15,250 will be for replacement. As a result, by 2040 the vast majority of commercial aircraft in operation will be the latest generation, up from some 13% today, considerably improving the CO2 efficiency of the world\u2019s commercial aircraft fleets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid
