As covid vaccination progresses, travel shows that it is experiencing a recovery. During the Zhuhai Airshow, Embraer showed its report with perspectives on the country's future market. Based on the passenger demand that is being evidenced, Embraer presents a trend study of the aircraft that should be delivered over the next 20 years.
According to the company, around 1500 new aircraft with up to 150 seats will be needed in China by 2040, 77% of which will be for market expansion and the remaining 23% will be to replace and renew fleets.
“During the pandemic, small and medium-sized aircraft, as well as regional flights, were instrumental in the rapid recovery of connectivity in China. Our E-Jets were one of the first aircraft models to restore frequencies on companies' air networks. In the post-pandemic era, building a more efficient air transport system is of vital importance. The market demands a more balanced fleet profile and a route structure to serve more secondary markets. Therefore, we believe that, over the next 20 years, aircraft with up to 150 seats will unlock their full potential,” said Guo Qing, Executive Director and Vice President of Commercial Aviation at Embraer China.
The Chinese government has announced a series of investments in aviation infrastructure. The importance of regional aircraft continues to increase after Covid-19, so they can play an important role in the recovery.
There are 91 E-jets in operation in Chinese territory, covering 550 routes and connecting 150 cities domestically and abroad. These planes carry around 20 million passengers a year. The expectation is that this humerus will grow.
“Revenue measured in number of passengers per kilometer (RPK) in Chinese civil aviation is expected to grow at an average rate of 4.7% over the next decade,” said Arjan Meijer, President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation.
Another important point is that China is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. E2 is 25.4% more efficient per seat and up to 10% more efficient than its competitors.
