SINGAPORE (AFX-ASIA) - Demand for commercial aircraft in the Asia Pacific
region is expected to reach 4,000 between now and 2020, including more than
2,100 widebodied planes, a European aviation official said.
Philippe Camus, co-chairman of the European Aeronautic, Defence and Space
Company (EADS), gave the figures at a news conference on the eve of the 2004
Asian Aerospace which kicks off here tomorrow.
"The demand for widebody airlines in the Asia-Pacific between now and 2020
is estimated at over 2,100," said Camus, who is also chairman of the French
Aerospace Industry Association, GIFAS.
Including smaller commercial planes, the figure could go as high as 4,000
aircraft.
GIFAS is strongly represented at the AsianAerospace event with 30
companies.
The French Air Force will be participating in daily flying displays to
showcase its Mirage 2000 RDIs and the Rafale multi-role fighter.
The Rafale is among three warplanes shortlisted by Singapore to replace its
current plans in a deal for 20 jets expected to be worth more than 1 bln usd.
The two others on the shortlist are Boeing's F-15E Strike Eagle and
Eurofighter's Typhoon.
Camus did not give a market value for the 4,000 commercial aircraft.
However, the cheapest plane in the stable of European aircraft maker Airbus
is around 45 mln usd, while the most expensive has a catalogue price of 286 mln
usd.
He said more than 570 Airbus airliners are in service with 40 Asia Pacific
carriers, including 48 delivered last year.
Singapore Airlines (SIA) will be the first carrier in the world to take
delivery of the A-380 super jumbo jet, the world's biggest commercial plane,
which rolls out in early 2006.
SIA was also the first in the Asia Pacific to put into service the A340-500
very long-range aircraft, which made the world's longest non-stop commercial
flight between Singapore and Los Angeles this month lasting 14 hours and 42
minutes.
SIA plans to break this record in June when it will launch a Singapore-New
York non-stop service lasting 18 hours, also using the A340-500.
