Some revised thinking about the nature of its own forecasting methods and revisions to take other travel factors into account have crept into Boeing’s annual update of its commercial jet market outlook. But its basic trend line remains solidly planted in a belief that airplane fleet growth will continue to outpace national economies, leading to demand for 30,900 new aircraft worth $3.6 trillion in the 20 years ending in 2029.
