Global freighter fleet to expand by 2,800 units by 2037: study shows |
Date:2018-05-03 Readers:

A STUDY by Cargo Facts Consulting (CFC)
predicts that the global freighter fleet will expand by 2,800 units and
the turboprop/RJ freighter fleet will add 500 units by 2037.
In addition to growth, three-quarters of
today's fleet of 1,700 freighters will be retired over the next 20
years, leading to an overall requirement for the addition of 3,000
freighters (an average of roughly 150 added units per year). Those 150
units will consist of 30 turboprops/RJs, 60 narrowbody jets and 60
widebody jets. The total includes both production freighters and
passenger to freighter aircraft conversions.
The forecast takes into account an assessment of new-build freighter
production, passenger-to-freighter conversion activity, and the
retirement of freighters from the existing freighter fleet, reported
Seattle's Cargo Facts.
The forecast is based on average annual growth in air cargo demand of
four per cent per year. That figure is below the nine per cent growth
reported by IATA for 2017 but it is above the roughly three per cent
annual growth in demand registered since 2000.
Cargo Facts Consulting (formerly
known as Air Cargo Management Group) is an aviation consulting firm
specialising in the freighter aircraft, air freight and express
businesses.
