Memo Pad
GROWING AIR FLEET As the global economy grows and diversifies, the number of commercial airliners in service is increasing sharply. In its annual forecast, Boeing said that 28,600 new commercial airplanes would be delivered in the next 20 years, when a total of 36,400 airliners would be flying the global skies. ?Over the next 20 years, the center of gravity of the world airline fleet will move substantially toward the Asia-Pacific region,?

Within 20 years, the domestic market in China alone will increase to more than half the size of the domestic United States market, from its current one-fifth of the United States market, Boeing said. The company has been outpacing its rival Airbus in selling wide-body and other long-haul jets, including the 787, which is scheduled for initial deliveries next year...
