Global demand for air travel is surging driven by rapid expansion in emerging markets, lead by China and India where more people are taking to the skies for the first time.

Asia Pacific is likely to have 3,5 billion airline passengers by 2036, adding more than double the forecast for North America and Europe combined, according to estimates by the International Air Transport Association.
The short to medium term challenge for the aviation manufacturing supply chain will be to successfully meet the demanding growth rate in aircraft production.
