Aircraft deliveries to accelerate in 2011. Led by Ryanair, Air China and Turkish Airlines

Aircraft deliveries are set to accelerate in 2011, with more than 1,400 aircraft scheduled for delivery this year, up from 1213 in 2010. Fleet expansion will be led by Ryanair, Air China and Turkish Airlines, all of which will take delivery of more than 30 aircraft by the end of 2011, based on Ascend data. Asian carriers will take delivery of the most aircraft of any region, as was the case in 2010, followed closely by Europe. LCCs and carriers in emerging markets are driving the expansion trend.
