In the next 15 to 20 years, the aviation industry is expected to double the number of aircraft in the sky. At the same time, 75% of the existing fleet will need to be replaced to meet decarbonization targets. Although the industry has made good progress in fuel efficiency, only 20% of current planes are the newest, most fuel-efficient models. This shows there's still a long way to go in improving sustainability.
To reduce CO2 emissions even further, manufacturers will need to improve assembly processes and meet the new requirements on pollution and energy use. At the same time, they’ll face the challenge of increasing production to meet demand, while also focusing on decarbonization—without sacrificing quality, productivity, or cost.
