Singapore is driving for a lot more growth in aviation

You will see this truth everywhere once there is political will the aviation sector takes off. Number of airports in 2014 - 74 ; in 2024 this doubled to 157. The Y-O-Y passenger traffic increase is 13% per year - its now at 306 Million. Same thing international passenger traffic is 70 million. By 2047 this number will be 350 airports. Hon. PM - noted that 15% of India’s pilots are women >> than the global mean of 5%. Total number of new pilots to the trained in next 10 years - a staggering 10,000 in one site. Airbus-Air India Training Centre, with the setting of a flight training center in Gurugram- 10 flight simulators and 10,000 pilots being trained in the coming years

Dazzling number of investment in airports (no aircraft !) the next 10-15 years in the ME. There is strong confident that aviation is there to stay. https://lnkd.in/e9XRYaG3

Paul Perera I think there is a wonderful irony in this emphasis by Airbus on ultra-thin long-haul flying. 20 years ago, it was Boeing saying that the hub-and-spoke model epitomized by the A380 would soon be dead and the future for long-haul was thin point-to-point. I don't believe Airbus ever officially said that they were wrong and Boeing right. But actions speak louder than words. Ironically, it was around 20 years ago that Boeing stopped production of the B757, thinking that long haul would only be for twin-aisle aircraft like the B787. Those B757s have pretty much all been replaced by A321s of one variety or another because Boeing never offered an aircraft that matched it closely enough. 10 years ago, Boeing were working on the New Mid-sized Airplane (NMA). They took out a patent on an oval fuselage giving the width of a twin-aisle with the cross-sectional area and cargo capacity close to a single aisle aircraft. I imagine any new Boeing aircraft in this sector will now look more like the single-aisle B757, which has a similar fuselage cross-section to the A321, but a ~45% larger wing. In fact, something that looks almost identical to the B757 but with B787 technology would probably cause some sleepless nights in Toulouse.
