Boeing Projects African Airplane Fleet to Double by 2044

Boeing has released its 2025 Commercial Market Outlook (CMO) for Africa, projecting that the continent's passenger air traffic will grow at an average annual rate of 6% through 2044. This growth is attributed to factors such as a young population, a rising middle class, urbanization, and increased investments in airports and connectivity. According to the report, Africa's commercial airplane fleet is expected to more than double, reaching 1,680 aircraft over the next two decades. The CMO forecasts the delivery of over 1,200 new airplanes between 2025 and 2044, with single-aisle aircraft comprising 70% of these deliveries. The demand is driven by opportunities for domestic and regional network expansion, especially for low-cost carriers connecting Africa to international destinations in Europe and the Middle East. Boeing highlights that continued investment in efficient, versatile airplanes and strategies to make air travel more accessible will further stimulate aviation growth across the region.
