Top 10 Asia Pacific airlines share almost 2500 aircraft orders between them

Asia Pacific airlines have a collective 4,430 commercial aircraft on order, accounting for almost 40% of identified outstanding orders globally.

Of this figure, nearly 2500 aircraft orders are concentrated with 10 airlines.

Almost 95% of the unfilled orders with these 10 airlines are for narrowbodies, with particularly large backlogs in place with short haul operators in Southeast Asia and South Asia.

Across the wider region, narrowbodies account for approximately 80% of orders. Narrowbody ordering is being supported by LCC growth and rapidly expanding regional connectivity to accommodate the travel demands of the region's expanding middle class.
