Aerospace major Boeing on Wednesday forecast strong aviation growth in India due to the country's growing economy and an expanding middle class, fueling demand for more than 2,200 new jets valued at nearly 320 billion dollars over the next 20 years.Boeing shared its India forecast as part of its annual Commercial Market Outlook (CMO) which anticipates resilient long-term demand for commercial airplanes and services.Although the COVID-19 pandemic sharply reduced Indian air travel last year, the country's domestic passenger traffic is recovering more rapidly than in most other countries and regions, recently reaching 76 per cent of pre-pandemic levels.India's passenger market is the world's third-largest. Its economy is predicted to grow at 5 per cent annually through the forecast period, the highest of any emerging market.While COVID-19 remains a near-term challenge, the country's passenger traffic is forecast to outpace global growth, doubling from pre-pandemic levels by 2030, according to the CMO.India air cargo growth is expected to average 6.3 per cent annually over the next 20 years, driven by India's manufacturing and e-commerce sectors. The 'Make in India' initiative is expected to support the above-global average cargo traffic growth in the Indian domestic market.Boeing Managing Director of regional marketing David Schulte said Indian carriers have opportunities for growth in international markets."Several airlines have started or plan to start non-stop routes between India and North America to serve a passenger preference for direct service flights" he added.India's civil aviation industry will require nearly 90,000 new pilots, technicians and cabin crew personnel during the 20-year forecast period, with a growing number of women choosing to pursue aviation careers."India's burgeoning manufacturing and services business means the region is uniquely positioned to become a major aerospace hub," said Salil Gupte, President of Boeing India."We remain committed to partnering across India to develop the nation's aerospace ecosystem, as continued investment in the civil aviation infrastructure and talent will enable sustained growth" he added.Globally, Boeing projects the need for 43,110 new commercial airplanes and demand for aftermarket services to be equivalent to 9 trillion dollars over the next two decades.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
