"Twenty years from now more than 40 percent of the world's airline traffic will begin, end or take place within the Asia Pacific region," said Randy Tinseth, Boeing's vice president – marketing.

"That's a big leap for a region that was not even mentioned in our earliest Boeing market forecasts back in the 1950s."

Tinseth added: “Between now and 2028, Asia Pacific air travel will grow from 32 per cent of the world market to 41 per cent."
