Right-sizing will be a critical component in boosting airline profitability for the next 20 years, according to Bombardier's Market Forecast

航空会社の利益を高める要因の重要な事は、自社の航空機の適切なお客様数に合わせる事である。

1. Overcapacity and fare pressure will reduce per-passenger yields.

2. Intra-regional routes will continue to dominate the air travel market.

3. Smaller aircraft are key to unlocking new route potential.

4. Airline profitability and financial stability will increase by prioritizing profit per passenger over cost per seat.

5. Airlines will replace aging fleets with modern, fuel efficient, and right-sized aircraft.

The future now

Airlines can profit from these insights and start planning to right-size their fleet now, in time to secure long-term profitability. For airlines, a profitable future relies on putting these aircraft to work over the next 20 years, and beyond.

Bombardier expects the 60- to 150-seat segment to be a key catalyst to further growth, market penetration and airline profitability. The Bombardier Market Forecast estimates about 12,550 deliveries in this segment over the 2017-2036 timeframe - valued at USD 820 Billions.
