Boeing announced an increase of 82% in the number of planes by 2041.
In its 2022 Commercial Market Outlook (annual long-term forecast report), the American plane constructor Boeing announced that it is projecting demand to increase to 47080 planes by 2041, compared to 25900 in 2019… an increase of 82%. This is in line with what Airbus also calculated earlier this month.
We don’t have time for more (unsustainable) planes. We need to drastically reduce our use of planes if we want to reach the Paris Agreement. We can’t let the aeronautic sector put profit over our future.

Hydrogen, synthetic fuels made from captured carbon, "sustainable aviation fuel" - biofuel - however you cut it flying a jet requires energy density like almost nothing else. We probably need Hyperloop or high-speed trains to cover 90% of medium-range travel, restricting jet travel to long-distance for essential journeys not practical by any other means. Even that will become unsupportable. As other sources of carbon decline, aviation will approach 100% of emissions and something will have to give.

@john_thomas Yes, our train systems should be developed and should become the norm! Taking a plane (even "green") should only be for essential trips

The aviation industry is already choking the environment with high carbon emissions and so injecting more planes into the market means that extinction is lurking sooner and hastier that earlier thought. Air travel is very adequate but at this era of climate catastrophies, ONLY news of electric fleets would sound reasonable and not otherwise.

@peter_kamau I agree 100%! Until we have carbon-free planes, we should reduce to the minimum air travel!!!
