Air Charter International predicts increase in Asia Pacific aviation requirements

Dubai, UAE – According to the Boeing’s Vice President - Marketing, Randy Tinseth, "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," "That's a big leap for a region that was not even mentioned in our earliest Boeing market forecasts back in the 1950s."

Tinseth goes on to say “between now and 2028, Asia Pacific air travel will grow from 32 percent of the world market to 41 percent.”

In light of this and the considerable increase in charter and lease enquiries received from the Asia Pacific region in the past two months, Air Charter International is focusing a large proportion of their efforts to servicing aircraft requirements for this region.

Seeing airlines such as Air Asia X regularly opening new routes including Chengdu in China and Abu Dhabi in the Middle East is a positive sign for the recovery of the aviation market.

Having recently set up regional offices in Sydney Australia, specifically for the Asia Pacific region, there has been a steady rise in business and a focus on building sound relationships between Air Charter International and aircraft operators and clients in the region, ensuring that all enquiries can be dealt with professionally.

Stuart Wheeler, CEO of Air Charter International says; “Making sure we are well represented in this region is vital to the success of our business. We are committed to sourcing the best possible solutions for all of our customers and are optimistic with regards to the continued increase is charter and lease business in Asia Pacific”.

Air Charter International is ready for expected rise in world air cargo traffic

Dubai, UAE – According to the Boeing Company’s World Air Cargo Forecast (WACF), “rising jet fuel prices and distress in the financial sector dampened world air cargo growth in 2007 and 2008. However, over the next 20 years, world air cargo traffic will triple compared to current levels.”

The report goes on to say that “World air cargo traffic will expand at an average annual rate of 5.8% for the next two decades, tripling current traffic levels. Markets connecting developing economies to established economies will either approximate or exceed the average world growth rate.”

Companies in various industry sectors will be looking to penetrate these emerging markets, many of which are located in high-risk or remote areas, such as: Libya, former Soviet Republics, the Arctic, Alaska, Africa and the Americas and will require a variety of logistical cargo project services and cargo air charters .

Logistical projects require global shipments with particular requirements, such as: heavy transports, outsized cargo, and cargo with time sensitive or security constraints to remote and difficult to access locations; will consequently contribute to the estimated growth in air cargo traffic.

Stuart Wheeler, CEO of Air Charter International says; “Sound planning is the backbone of every such project and with our extensive experience, Air Charter International, can source the ideal aircraft to fit the job in time critical situations, as well as overall supervision of loading and discharge operations.”

Air Charter International has experience in assisting governments and affiliated agencies with delivery of heavy-lift goods and infrastructure components into crisis areas or reconstruction zones.

Mr. Wheeler concludes, “Air Charter International’s strong position in assisting these industry requirements is due to the combined expertise of its employees and the unique operating capability and extensive operator base capable of facilitating outsize loads on behalf of our customers”.
