Airbus expects Asia-Pacific to drive nearly half of 42,000 global aircraft deliveries through 2045

Airbus expects Asia-Pacific’s expanding middle class, new city-pair routes and fleet growth to sustain demand for thousands of aircraft over the next two decades.

What Hype is tracking

Airbus’s forecast assigns Asia-Pacific approximately 45% of global new-jet deliveries through 2045, making regional fleet growth a central driver of long-term OEM demand.
The outlook indicates geopolitical tensions and supply-chain constraints have not yet materially weakened demand, but continued delivery growth remains dependent on manufacturers’ ability to execute.
Demand is expected to come primarily from fleet expansion—supported by middle-class growth and new city routes—rather than replacement, shaping airline network and capacity planning.
