China&#8217;s commercial airliner fleet will more than double to nearly 9,600 jets over the next 20 years, according to Boeing&#8217;s Commercial Market Outlook (CMO), the company&#8217;s long-term forecast of demand for commercial airplanes and related services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its ongoing recovery of air travel, China will account for one-fifth of the world&#8217;s airplane deliveries in the next two decades, according to the CMO. China&#8217;s domestic aviation market also will be the largest in the world by the end of the forecast period, helping power demand for 6,470 single-aisle airplanes such as the Boeing 737 MAX family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2023\/09\/vietnam-airlines-signs-purchase-of-50-boeing-737-max-jets.html\">Vietnam Airlines signs purchase of 50 Boeing 737 MAX jets<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Domestic air traffic in China has already surpassed pre-pandemic levels and international traffic is recovering steadily,&#8221; said Darren Hulst, Boeing vice president, Commercial Marketing. &#8220;As China&#8217;s economy and traffic continue to grow, Boeing&#8217;s complete line-up of commercial jets will play a key role in helping meet that growth sustainably and economically.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2023 China CMO includes these projections through 2042:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Along with demand for single-aisle jets, Chinese carriers will require 1,550 widebody airplanes mainly to support a growing network of international routes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fleet growth will drive two thirds of forecast deliveries in China, while the remainder will replace older jets with modern airplanes that increase efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continued growth in e-commerce and express shipping will drive demand for 190 new freighter deliveries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>China will require 433,000 new aviation personnel \u2013 including 134,000 pilots, 138,000 technicians and 161,000 cabin crew members \u2013 to serve its growing market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>China&#8217;s commercial fleet will generate demand for $675 billion in aviation services including maintenance, repair, training and spare parts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Commercial aircraft deliveries to China (2023-2042): 350 regional aircraft; 6,470 single-aisle; 1,550 widebody; 190 freighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2023 marks the 50th year of Boeing airplanes&#8217; service in China. In 1972, China ordered 10 707 jets to modernize its commercial fleet. Today, Boeing airplanes are the mainstay of China&#8217;s air travel and cargo system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
