Sep 14, 2006 (newstodate): In its latest World Air Cargo Forecast 2006/2007, Boeing predicts the world cargo fleet to increase significantly, especially in the large freighter segment.
Overall, Boeing predicts the world freighter fleet will increase to 3,563 airplanes from 1,789 during the 20-year forecast period, with the greatest growth in wide body freighters such as the Airbus A380F, Boeing 747, 777 and 767.
This category will ultimately represent 64 percent of the fleet, compared to 50 percent today, eventually constituting more than 90 percent of total freighter capacity.
