2018-11-26Passenger numbers to hit 8.2bn by 2037 - IATA reportThe amount of air travelers could double to 8.2 billion in 2037, according to analysis from the International Air Transport Association (IATA). In the latest update to IATA’s 20-Year Air Passenger Forecast, an increasing shift Eastwards in the center of gravity of the industry is behind the continued strong growth. "Aviation is growing, and that is generating huge benefits for the world. A doubling of air passengers in the next 20 years could support 100 million jobs globally," said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General and CEO. Over the next two decades, the forecast anticipates a 3.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), leading to a doubling in passenger numbers from present levels. The Association warned, however, that growth prospects for air transport, and the economic benefits driven by aviation, could be curtailed if protectionist measures are implemented by governments. "There are two important things that stand out about this year’s forecast. Firstly, we are seeing a geographical reshuffling of world air traffic to the East," de Juniac said. "And secondly, we foresee a significant negative impact on the growth and benefits of aviation if tough and restrictive protectionist measures are implemented."
