The Asia-Pacific aviation market is set for one of the largest long-term fleet expansions worldwide, with Airbus projecting demand for 19,560 new aircraft through 2045.
Airbus Aircraft Delivery Slots
On October 31, 2025, China’s Hainan Airlines (HU) took delivery of its first Airbus A330‑900neo wide-body aircraft, marking a subtle yet significant fleet development for the carrier.
Airbus has initiated the communication process with airlines regarding a fresh wave of new aircraft delivery delays.
Facing a backlog extending over several years, Airbus is said to be exploring the option of reclaiming delivery slots for its Airbus A321neo in the upcoming years.
