Arthur emphasised that the desire for travel in the Middle East is “extremely robust,” and it is anticipated that over the next 20 years, as the aircraft industry recovers globally following the fall in the impact of the Corona virus, demand will climb sharply.
According to Arthur, given the rapid increase in aircraft orders, the global aviation fleet will quadruple in the medium and long term, becoming one of the industry’s most significant concerns.
Arthur predicts that the Middle East will play a significant role in the development of the global aerospace industry, with new orders for aircraft expected to reach 3,000 by 2041, with wide-body aircraft accounting for the majority of these orders given the region’s significance as a “transit” point.
Arthur, who stated that Emirates is one of the biggest users of 777 aircraft and that it, along with Etihad Airways, is making new orders on the 777X models, said that Emirates and Etihad Airways are essential partners for Boeing.
He continued by mentioning that flydubai is among the biggest 777 Max aircraft operators in the area.
Regarding the future of the aviation sector, Arthur stated that Boeing has made a commitment to meet the ambitious target of zero carbon emissions by 2050, which will be accomplished in part by updating the fleet, improving fuel efficiency, and creating sustainable aviation fuels.
He stated that the company’s goal is to have all of its aircraft fully capable of running on sustainable fuels by the year 2030.
Boeing: More than 90% of the Middle East’s aviation industry has recovered.
