TOULOUSE, France – The global aviation services market is expected to double in value to $422 billion by 2045, driven by fleet expansion and growing demand for maintenance, digital solutions and workforce training, Airbus said Wednesday.

The market will grow at a compound annual rate of 3.8% from $209 billion in 2026, supporting a commercial aircraft fleet of more than 45,550 aircraft and nearly 10 billion annual passenger journeys by 2045, according to the European aircraft manufacturer’s Global Services Forecast.

The industry will need 2.44 million additional aviation professionals over the next 20 years, including 730,000 maintenance technicians, 660,000 pilots and 1.05 million cabin crew members, the report said.

Off-wing maintenance, including engine and component repairs, will account for the largest share of the market, reaching $217 billion by 2045. Digital services and connectivity will be the fastest-growing segment, expanding at an annual rate of 5.3% to $27 billion.

Airbus expects Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States, North America and China to remain among the largest services markets. Asia is projected to record the fastest growth.

The forecast covers passenger aircraft with more than 100 seats and freighters with payload capacities exceeding 10 tonnes, regardless of manufacturer, Airbus said.

Boeing, in a separate report released in July, projected the global commercial aviation support and services market would reach $4.9 trillion over the next 20 years.

The American manufacturer also estimated the industry would need more than 2.4 million new aviation personnel by 2045, with about two-thirds of the demand replacing retiring workers.

NEW YORK – Canadian airline WestJet has begun retiring its Boeing 737-700 fleet with the sale of 27 aircraft to  lessor FTAI Aviation Ltd., including 17 in a sale-leaseback transaction, FTAI said Monday. Ten airplanes will be off lease.

WestJet currently lists 30 Boeing 737-700s in its fleet, meaning the transaction covers all but three of the type.

The 10 off-lease aircraft will support FTAI’s Aerospace Products business by expanding its supply of CFM56-7B engines and modules for its maintenance, repair and exchange customers, the company said.

FTAI added that the transaction is one of its largest aircraft acquisitions to date and combines its airplane ownership business with its engine maintenance capabilities.

“We are pleased to expand our relationship with WestJet through this transaction,” FTAI President David Moreno said.

WestJet Group Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Mike Scott said the transaction marks the start of the airline’s retirement of its 737-700 fleet.

“We’re pleased to partner with FTAI Aviation Ltd. to make this happen, and we look forward to building on this relationship for future opportunities,” Scott said.

NEW YORK – Turkish Airlines has finalized an order for up to 150 Boeing 737 MAX jets, comprising 100 firm orders and options for 50 more, Boeing said Wednesday.

No financial details were disclosed.

The order is Turkish Airlines’ largest purchase of Boeing single-aisle aircraft, the U.S. manufacturer said. The agreement also includes substitution rights for the 737-10, the largest variant of the 737 MAX family.

The order concludes discussions that began last year and supports the airline’s plans to expand its fleet and network.

“This agreement marks another significant step in the continued expansion of our fleet. The new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft will bring greater efficiency and flexibility to our operations, supporting the extensive network we serve from our hub in Istanbul,” said Murat Şeker, Turkish Airlines chairman.

The airline operates more than 200 Boeing airplanes, including 737 MAX, 787 Dreamliner, 737 Next-Generation and 777 Freighter aircraft, Boeing said.

The new 737-8 jets will be used on both domestic and international routes.

Boeing said the aircraft’s range, payload flexibility and fuel efficiency will support Turkish Airlines’ operations on routes with high demand.

The order follows the airline’s 2025 purchase of up to 75 787 Dreamliners.

Turkish Airlines, a Star Alliance member, was established in 1933 with a fleet of five aircraft.

It now operates 567 passenger and cargo aircraft serving 358 destinations in 133 countries, making it the airline that flies to the most countries in the world.

FAA orders inspections of Boeing MAX jets over cracking risk

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has ordered inspections of hundreds of Boeing 737 MAX airplanes after determining that fatigue cracking could develop in a key structural reinforcement, potentially affecting the aircraft’s structural integrity.

The airworthiness directive, published Thursday in the Federal Register, applies to 471 U.S.-registered Boeing 737-8, 737-9 and 737-8200 airplanes. It becomes effective Sept. 10.

The directive requires operators to determine whether repairs have previously been made to the fuselage skin at the forward upper corner of the forward galley door cutout. Depending on the findings, airlines must carry out repetitive external inspections for cracking of the fuselage skin and the underlying bear strap, a structural reinforcement designed to help carry fuselage loads. Any cracking found must be repaired before further flight using a method approved by the FAA.

The FAA said the action was prompted by reports of bear strap cracking on Boeing 737 Next Generation airplanes. Although the agency said no cracking has been reported on 737 MAX aircraft, it determined that the MAX fleet is subject to the same unsafe condition because the affected structure has a similar design and manufacturing process.

Image: FAA.

According to the directive, cracks in the bear strap and fuselage skin could reduce the ability of a principal structural element to carry required loads. If left undetected, the damage could grow and compromise the structural integrity of the airplane.

The FAA estimated the required inspection to determine whether a repair exists would take about one work-hour per airplane. Additional inspections and any corrective actions would depend on the aircraft’s configuration and inspection results.

The agency estimated the cost of the initial inspection across the U.S. fleet at about $40,000, excluding any repairs that may be required.

The directive adopts requirements previously proposed by the FAA after the agency concluded the inspections were necessary to address the potential unsafe condition.

The directive comes days after the FAA certified Boeing’s 737-7, the smallest member of the 737 MAX family, for commercial service following what the agency described as years of work to resolve technical issues and complete its review of the aircraft’s design and safety analyses.

WASHINGTON/SEATTLE – After nearly a decade of review, the Federal Aviation Administration on Monday certified Boeing‘s 737-7 passenger jet for commercial service, clearing the smallest member of the 737 MAX family to begin airline deliveries.

The FAA said the amended type certificate follows years of work to resolve technical issues and complete an extensive review of the aircraft’s design and safety analyses.

Regulators said they scrutinized flight controls, system safety, human factors and other critical areas while requiring additional testing, design changes and analysis before approving the aircraft.

The certification required Boeing to incorporate changes mandated under the Aircraft Certification, Safety and Accountability Act and recommendations from the National Transportation Safety Board, including updates to flight-control software, the flight crew alerting system and a redesigned engine anti-ice system.

The FAA said the changes provide pilots with clearer warnings and prevent engine inlet overheating that could weaken surrounding structures.

The 737-7 is designed to carry 135 to 160 passengers in a typical two-class configuration. It also has the longest range in the MAX lineup, capable of flying up to 3,800 nautical miles (7,040 kilometers).

“This important certification validates the rigor of our airplane’s design and recognizes the determination and resilience of our 737 MAX development team,” Stephanie Pope, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said in a statement.

Boeing said the aircraft burns 20% less fuel and produces 20% fewer carbon dioxide emissions than the airplanes it typically replaces while cutting its noise footprint by 50%.

Southwest Airlines, the launch customer for the 737-7, is preparing to take delivery of the first aircraft.

The FAA said safety inspectors will remain at Boeing production facilities to monitor manufacturing, including the company’s safety management system and safety culture.

Boeing has booked about 300 firm orders for the 737-7

FARNBOROUGH, England – SMBC Aviation Capital emerged as the biggest customer on the opening day of the Farnborough International Airshow, placing orders for a combined 200 single-aisle aircraft split evenly between Airbus and Boeing, as Riyadh Air and Philippine Airlines also announced fleet expansion plans.

The Dublin-based lessor ordered 100 Airbus A320neo family aircraft, comprising 65 A321s and 35 A320s, while separately committing to acquire 100 Boeing 737 MAX jets, including 60 737-10s and 40 737-8s.

Elsewhere, Riyadh Air expanded orders with both manufacturers, adding 28 Boeing 787 Dreamliners and six Airbus A350-1000s, while Philippine Airlines committed to acquire up to 20 Boeing 787 Dreamliners.

SMBC said its Airbus order will provide airline customers with a continuous pipeline of A320neo family aircraft into the mid-2030s, reflecting confidence in long-term demand for the type and strengthening its 25-year partnership with Airbus.

“This significant new order will give our airline customers access to a continuous delivery pipeline of the latest technology A320neo family aircraft into the mid-2030s,” Chief Executive Peter Barrett said.

“We are pleased to build on the deep partnership we have established with Airbus over the last 25 years, and this latest order reflects our confidence in the long-term demand for the A320neo family.”

SMBC is already among Airbus’ largest A320 family customers and, together with its parent company Sumitomo Corp., now accounts for more than 900 direct Airbus aircraft commitments across all Airbus programs.

The Boeing order marks SMBC’s first purchase of the 737-10, the largest member of the MAX family, and increases its owned, managed and committed 737 MAX portfolio to 450 aircraft.

The lessor said the aircraft will help meet growing airline demand for larger, more fuel-efficient narrowbody jets.

Separately, Riyadh Air exercised options for 28 additional Boeing 787 Dreamliners, including converting 20 aircraft to the larger 787-10 variant and incorporating a previously undisclosed purchase of 11 aircraft.

Once the remaining 17 aircraft are finalized, the Saudi carrier’s firm Dreamliner order book will total 67 aircraft.

The airline also firmed up an order for six additional Airbus A350-1000s, increasing its firm commitment for the type to 31 aircraft as it pursues plans to serve more than 100 international destinations by 2030.

Boeing also announced that Philippine Airlines committed to order up to 20 787 Dreamliners. The proposed agreement covers 15 787-10 aircraft, with options for five more, supporting the flag carrier’s fleet modernization and long-haul expansion strategy.

No financial details were disclosed for any of the agreements.

FARNBOROUGH, England – Boeing projects the global commercial fleet will exceed 50,000 airplanes by 2045 as passenger traffic doubles over the next 20 years, according to the company’s 2026 Commercial Market Outlook released late Thursday ahead of next week’s opening of the Farnborough International Airshow.

Boeing projects airlines will take delivery of nearly 44,000 new airplanes through 2045 to support fleet growth and replace older aircraft. About half of those deliveries are expected to replace previous-generation airplanes with more fuel-efficient models.

The company projects the global commercial aviation support and services market will total $4.9 trillion over the next 20 years.

Boeing also expects the industry will need more than 2.4 million new aviation personnel through 2045, including 674,000 pilots, 728,000 maintenance technicians and 1.02 million cabin crew members. It said about two-thirds of that workforce demand will replace retiring employees, while the remainder will support fleet growth.

The company said near-term disruptions are not expected to alter long-term aviation growth, with passenger traffic projected to increase about 4% annually between 2026 and 2045. Boeing said demand will be supported by tourism, business travel, expanding air networks and growth in emerging markets.

The projected airplane deliveries include about 33,500 single-aisle jets, 7,700 widebody aircraft, 1,400 regional airplanes and 930 freighters. Boeing said single-aisle fleets are expected to account for much of the growth, with the global fleet nearly doubling by 2045.

Boeing said airlines have added nearly 5,500 airport connections since 2015, contributing to network expansion and increased point-to-point travel. The company also said air cargo demand is expected to grow about 3.7% annually through 2045, supported by demand for time-sensitive goods, supply chain needs and cross-border commerce.

The five-day Farnborough International Airshow opens Monday. Boeing and other aircraft manufactures will showcase their products at the event.

Alaska Airlines said its new livery was inspired by the Northern Lights.

SEATTLE – Alaska Airlines unveiled a new livery on Tuesday as the company sets sights on becoming a premium global carrier.

The U.S. airline, which already flies to over 140 destinations, also announced that it will launch two new nonstop routes to London and Reykjavik from its Seattle hub, starting next spring.

They will be the fourth and fifth of at least 12 intercontinental destinations Alaska plans to serve from Seattle by the end of this decade.

“With these bold moves, we are accelerating our vision to connect our guests to the world,” said Chief Executive Officer Ben Minicucci. “We are seizing this moment to redefine the international experience and level up. And we’re doing it with the same relentless focus on safety, care and performance that’s always defined us.”

The airline said the new livery on the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners was inspired by the Northern Lights.

Alaska calls the design “the first phase of a new global experience for long-haul flying” on the aircraft.

The 787s with the new livery will debut in January, and the airline hopes to have its entire fleet of 17 Dreamliners to feature the new design by spring.

“Our new 787 exterior embodies Alaska’s transition to a global airline with beauty, grace and a nod to our heritage,” said Chief Commercial Officer Andrew Harrison.

The daily Seattle-London Dreamliner flight will feature 34 enclosed suites with fully lie-flat seats in Business Class, the airline said. The service will operate throughout the year.

On the seasonal Reykjavik route, Alaska will operate a Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft, Alaska added.

EmbraerBoeingCHICAGO — Boeing announced Saturday that it has terminated its Master Transaction Agreement (MTA) with Embraer.

Under the deal announced in late 2018, the two companies had planned to create a joint venture comprising Embraer’s commercial aviation business.

The $4.2-billion tie-up was mainly aimed at challenging Airbus in the market for midsize planes.

The two companies also planned a second joint venture to develop new markets for the C-390 Millennium military aircraft.

“Under the MTA, April 24, 2020, was the initial termination date, subject to extension by either party if certain conditions were met. Boeing exercised its rights to terminate after Embraer did not satisfy the necessary conditions,” Boeing said in a statement.

“Boeing has worked diligently over more than two years to finalize its transaction with Embraer. Over the past several months, we had productive but ultimately unsuccessful negotiations about unsatisfied MTA conditions.”

The planned partnership had received approval from all regulatory authorities, with the exception of the European Commission, Boeing said.

There was no immediate comment from Embraer.
