Boeing [NYSE: BA] projects demand for 2,610 new airplanes in Latin America and the Caribbean over the next two decades. The new forecast reflects the near-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic along with the long-term fundamentals for air travel. Single-aisle commercial models will comprise 90% of this airplane demand, reflecting the expansion of affordable travel opportunities across and within the region.
This 20-year market for commercial aircraft is valued at $365 billion, according to Boeing’s 2020 Commercial Market Outlook (CMO), an annual forecast of demand for commercial airplanes and services and Boeing's view of near-, medium- and long-term market dynamics.
