Increasing Global Aircraft Fleet Size and Air Traffic Growth Drives Europe Flight Planning Software Market

According to Airbus GMF 2024 study on global aircraft fleet and traffic, the aviation fleet is expected to grow from 24,260 aircraft in 2023 and reach 48,230 aircraft by 2043. This is owing to the continued growth in demand for air travel, building on the rapid recovery since COVID-19 travel restrictions. According to the study by Avolon, China, India, Asia, and South America are expected to show more than 3.5% growth in air travel from 2023 to 2042; however, North America and Europe will register moderate growth between 2 and 3% during this timeframe. In addition, the massive rise in the number of aircraft fleets from the regions mentioned above is expected to create opportunities for key flight-planning software manufacturers across the globe.

According to the Airbus GMF, the demand for new aircraft between 2024 and 2043 was valued at 42,430 units. Asia Pacific is expected to register 45.98% of the total demand for new aircraft during the study period, followed by Europe & CIS and North America. Single Aisle body aircraft is expected to account for more than 80% of the total new aircraft demand globally from 2024 to 2043. In addition, the demand for freight aircraft is expected to be valued at 2,470 units during 2024–2043.

According to the ch-aviation GmbH data on aircraft fleet orders from across the world, in June 2023, the US accounted for the highest number of aircraft orders (excluding military aircraft and aircraft with unknown operator/engine) globally, with a total of 3,147 aircraft on order, followed by Ireland, China, and India with 1,247; 1,239; and 888 aircraft orders, respectively. According to the same data, the top five consumers with aircraft orders were United Airlines, IndiGo Airlines, Lion Air, Air Lease Corporation, and AirAsia. Such an increase in orders and the growth of the global aircraft fleet are expected to fuel the demand for flight planning software, creating opportunities for the key players operating in the market from 2023 to 2031. According to the Oliver Wyman analysis, the global commercial aircraft fleet currently stands at ~28,398 aircraft and is expected to reach ~36,413 aircraft by the end of 2034.
