Snapshot
Traffic Growth by Airline Domicile
Traffic growth, through the addition of traffic on existing routes or new routes, is expected to be
fastest for airlines based in the Middle East and Asia over 2006-2025 (6.4 percent and 6.2 percent
respectively). Airbus attributes this growth to the aspirations of airlines and their home
countries, as well as access to markets that are expanding through liberalization and increasing
travel.
Above-average growth is also forecast for airlines based in Latin America, the Commonwealth
of Independent States and Africa (5.8 percent, 5.6 percent and 5.3 percent respectively). In Europe
and North America, growth will continue, although more slowly (4.6 percent and 4.0 percent).
Worldwide, growth is expected to reach 4.8 percent by 2025.
