Africa needs 250 widebodies including cargo model for air-freight growth, says Boeing

Boeing recently released a forecast that Africa airlines will require 250 new widebodies, including passenger and cargo models, to support long-haul routes and air freight growth. Approximately 1,030 new airplanes by 2040 valued at $160 billion and aftermarket services will be required such as manufacturing and repair worth $235 billion with an idea to grow economies and air travel across the continent. 

Boeingshared the projection as part of the 2021 Commercial Market Outlook (CMO), the company’s long-term assessment of demand for commercial airplanes and services. Africa’s strong, long-term growth prospects for commercial aviation are tied to the continent’s projected 3 percent annual economic growth over the next 20 years, says the official release.
