The global aviation market focus shift

On February 19, 2012, after six days of the Singapore air show luxuriant and packaged. In this billed as Asia's largest air show, opening day notes under several big orders, one of the most notable is that Boeing and Indonesia's lion air reach an 230 new, $22.4 billion worth of aircraft purchase agreement. This is Boeing's biggest order ever, whether from the order number, or the total value. International air show has always been is an indicator of global aviation business. At the air show, grab an eye most of Asian countries, does this mean the global aviation market in the center of gravity is shifting?

For a long time, no big changes in the global aviation industry pattern, have firmly supremacy in the us and Europe market. Especially in the north American market, no matter in the passenger flow, logistics, or performance in profit, capital markets, etc., all let than other areas. But in the 21st century, this pattern began to change historic. The landmark events in 2009, the year in the asia-pacific region traffic reached 662 million people, for the first time in North America, to become the world's largest air transport market. Since then, the asia-pacific market along the way. The international air transport association, in 2010, to the asia-pacific region as well as from the asia-pacific region, the asia-pacific interior airline's passenger traffic accounted for about 33% of global airline passenger traffic, and North America and Europe region airline's passenger traffic accounted for about 31%. International air transport association, the director and chief executive Tony Tyler, prediction of traffic in the asia-pacific region in 2011 is still the world's first. The association also optimistic forecasts that by 2015, Asia Pacific airline's passenger traffic will reach 37%, while European and north American passenger traffic will be dropped to 29%.

Stark contrast with the asia-pacific aviation market, the market encountered unprecedented downturn in the us and Europe. The U.S. department of transportation said recently that the 2011 flights a new low in nearly 10 years history. After Spain, Hungary airlines have closed, the Czech ministry of finance also plans to sell its state-owned airlines Czech airlines. In addition, with the polish government shares, aer lingus, Portugal airlines are now looking for private investors to invest.

Global aircraft giants Boeing and airbus are the business eastward tilt, also suggests that the global aviation market potential of the centre of gravity to the east. Airbus CEO Enders said in Singapore air show, "airbus's business has been to Asian tilt, because most of our business growth in Asia." Last year, airbus received 1600 orders, will contribute half of them in Asia. Passengers "by 2030, Asia's share of global aviation passenger ratio will rise to 33% from 28% now, Europe will fall from the current 27% to 23%, while the United States will fall to 20% from 27% at present." Boeing is not to be outdone, the asia-pacific markets as the main attack direction in the next 20 years.

Aviation is the bellwether of economic boom. Global aviation market centre of gravity to the east, is also the result of the strong economic growth in the asia-pacific region. At present, the weak economic recovery in the United States, the European debt crisis, the asia-pacific economic vitality become important on the world economy out of the shadows, and China's steady and rapid economic development, but also the global aviation industry development the important fulcrum. Tony Tyler said, in the next decade, China's per capita income level is expected to reach $15000, per capita annual air travel will be possible. In China to achieve this goal, will increase 1 billion air passengers each year. 2010-2015, the global passenger volume is expected to increase to 3.55 billion passengers. In increase of 877 million passengers, an estimated 212 million visitors from China airlines.

And, of course, migration of centre of gravity of the global aviation market, does not definitely mean the fundamental change of industry structure. In the future, how to rely on market forces in the asia-pacific region, in the process of international aviation market rules become active participants, is still a major issue,which can visit lawcells.
