Markets in the emerging economic nations continue to grow; their economies and demographic developments both driven by and benefiting from air travel. Continued global liberalisation is giving greater market access to airlines and wider choice for passengers. Low-cost carriers will also continue to grow around the world, but particularly in Asia, while the network airlines will benefit from fast growing international markets, with a wave of new international travel consumers from the emerging countries. Changing dynamics, particularly network evolution and the role of mega-cities and congestion are influencing the future of aviation. All these drivers are taken into consideration when developing the Airbus Global Market Forecast (GMF).
