Hi i'm a teenage wannabe and i found it quite interesting to read this forum. I like to read through Aviation related things and i was reading the aerospace section in the idependent. The article said that airbus was expecting a need for 22,000 new aircraft over the next 12 years. I was very surprised to hear this as more and more airlines seem to be making the noises of financial difficulties ahead.
What surprised me more was the fact that the 22,000 aircraft was just what they had estimated for commercial passenger aircraft never mind cargo. This estimate seemed to go against everything i had read. What do you guys think about the figures ?
