Izindiza zomhlaba wonke ezithwala abagibeli nezithuthayo kulindeleke ukuthi zibe ngaphezu kokuphindwe kabili kusukela kwezicishe zibe yizi-23,000 zanamuhla ziye cishe kwezingama-48,000 ngo-2038 njengoba izimoto zikhula ngo-4.3% ngonyaka, okuphinde kube nesidingo sabashayeli bezindiza abasha abangu-550,000 kanye nochwepheshe abasha abangu-640,000.
Ngo-2038, ezibikezelweni zemikhumbi engu-47,680, ezingu-39,210 zintsha kanti ezingu-8,470 zisele kusukela namuhla. Ngokubuyekeza izindiza ngendiza yesizukulwane sakamuva eyonga uphethiloli njenge-A220, i-A320neo Family, i-A330neo ne-A350, i-Airbus ikholelwa ukuthi izobamba iqhaza elikhulu ekuncipheni inqubekela phambili yemboni yezokuthutha kanye nenjongo yokukhula kwe-carbon-neutral kusukela ngo-2020. ngenkathi ixhuma abantu abaningi emhlabeni jikelele.
Ibonisa ubuchwepheshe bezindiza obushintshayo banamuhla, i-Airbus yenze lula ukuhlukaniswa kwayo ukuze icabangele umthamo, ububanzi kanye nohlobo lwemishini. Isibonelo, i-A321 ye-short-haul iyi- Okuncane (S) kuyilapho i-A321LR noma i-XLR edonsa isikhathi eside ingahlukaniswa njenge Okumaphakathi (M). Ngenkathi imakethe eyinhloko ye-A330 ihlukaniswa njenge Okumaphakathi (M), kungenzeka ukuthi inombolo izoqhubeka nokusebenza izinkampani zezindiza ngendlela ehlala ngaphakathi Okukhulu (L) ukuhlukaniswa kwemakethe kanye ne-A350 XWB.
Ukuhlukaniswa okusha kubangela isidingo sezindiza ezintsha ezingama-39,210 zabagibeli nezokuthwala impahla -29,720 Encane (S) 5,370 Okumaphakathi (M) futhi 4,120 Okukhulu (L) - ngokusho kwe-Airbus's Global Market Forecast yakamuva 2019-2038. Kulezi, izindiza ezingu-25,000 ezokukhula futhi ezingu-14,210 zizoshintsha amamodeli amadala zifake ezintsha ezinikeza ukusebenza kahle okuphakeme.
Njengoba ikwazi ukumelana nezimo zezomnotho, ukuhamba kwezindiza kuphindeke ngaphezu kokuphindwe kabili kusukela ngo-2000. Iya ngokuya idlala indima ebalulekile ekuxhumaniseni izikhungo zabantu abaningi, ikakhulukazi ezimakethe ezisafufusa lapho ukuthambekela kokuhamba kuphakathi kwamazwe aphakeme kakhulu emhlabeni njengoba izindleko noma indawo yenza ezinye izindlela zingenzeki. Namuhla, cishe ingxenye yesine yabantu basemadolobheni emhlabeni inesibopho esingaphezu kwekota ye-GDP yomhlaba wonke, futhi njengoba kokubili kuyizisusa eziyinhloko zokukhula, I-Aviation Mega Cities (AMCs) izoqhubeka nokunikeza amandla inethiwekhi yezokundiza emhlabeni wonke. Intuthuko ekusebenzeni kahle kukaphethiloli iqhubekisela phambili isidingo sokushintsha indiza ekhona eyonga uphethiloli kancane.
“Ukukhula ngo-4% kwaminyaka yonke kukhombisa ukusimama kwezindiza, ukubhekana nezimo zezomnotho zesikhashana kanye neziyaluyalu zezepolitiki. Umnotho uyachuma kwezokuthutha ngendiza. Abantu nezimpahla bafuna ukuxhumana,” kusho uChristian Scherer, oyiChief Commercial Officer ye-Airbus kanye neNhloko ye-Airbus International. "Emhlabeni jikelele, izindiza zezentengiselwano zikhuthaza ukukhula kwe-GDP futhi zisekela izindlela zokuziphilisa eziyizigidi ezingu-65, okubonisa izinzuzo ezinkulu ibhizinisi lethu elilethwa kuyo yonke imiphakathi kanye nohwebo lomhlaba."
Izindiza ze-Airbus zingabaholi bemakethe ezingxenyeni zabo. I Okuncane (S) ingxenye ifaka i-A220 Family nazo zonke izinhlobo ze-A320 Family. Imikhiqizo ewumongo ye-Airbus ku Okumaphakathi (M)ingxenye i-A330 kanye ne-A330neo Family, futhi ingafaka nezinguqulo ezincane ze-A321LR ne-XLR ezisetshenziswa ohambweni olude. Ukuhlukaniswa okukhulu Okukhulu (L), imelwe i-A330neo Family kanye ne-A350 XWB Family enkulu ehlanganisa nenguqulo ye-Ultra Long Range (ULR). Lesi sigaba sizoqhubeka nokusetshenzwa yi-A380 ekugcineni.
