Iinqwelomoya zehlabathi ziya kudinga iinqwelomoya ezintsha ezingama-33,500 ezixabisa i-4.0 yeetriliyoni zeedola kwisithuba esingaphantsi kwamashumi amabini eminyaka, i-Asia ithatha malunga neepesenti ezingama-35 zizonke, umenzi weenqwelomoya wase-US u-Boeing uthe izolo.
Abathwali be-Asia-Pacific baya kufuna i-11,450 yeenqwelomoya ezintsha, ezixabisa i-1.5 yezigidi zezigidi zeedola, ngo-2030, usekela-mongameli we-Boeing kwiinqwelomoya zorhwebo uRandy Tinseth uthe kwinkomfa yeendaba ngobusuku be-Singapore Airshow.
“Le yeyona marike inkulu ehlabathini yeenqwelo-moya ezikwindlela enye… kwiinqwelomoya ezineendlela ezimbini… kwiinqwelomoya ezinkulu. Nayiphi na indlela oyijonga ngayo, le yimarike enkulu, inkulu, kwaye le yimarike yokukhula,” utshilo.
U-Tinseth, ehlaziya uqikelelo lwangaphambili lwe-Boeing, uthe eyona mfuno inkulu kulo mmandla iya kuba yeyenqwelomoya enendlela enye ehlala phakathi kwama-90 nama-200 abakhweli-imifuziselo efunwa kakhulu kwimarike yebhajethi yenqwelomoya.
Kwiinqwelomoya ezintsha ezingama-33,500 ezifunekayo kwihlabathi jikelele, malunga neepesenti ezingama-60 ziya kuba zezokwandiswa kweenqanawa, kwaye intsalela ithatha indawo yesitokhwe esalupheleyo.
Kummandla weAsia-Pasifiki, ama-80 ekhulwini aya kuba kukukhula kweenqanawa.
U-Boeing uthe iinqwelo zabagibeli behlabathi zimi kwiinqwelomoya ze-19,410 kwi-2010, kwaye kuqikelelwa ukuba zifikelele ngaphezu kwe-39,500 ngo-2030.
Ukuhlangabezana nemfuno, u-Tinseth uthe i-Boeing iya kunyusa imveliso yeemodeli ezibandakanya isizukulwana esilandelayo se-aisle 737 MAX, eya kungena kwisigaba sokugqibela sovavanyo lwe-tunnel yomoya kwiveki ezayo.
I-Boeing ikwacinga ngokukhupha inguqulelo enkulu ye-787 Dreamliner yayo ephakathi ukuze ibizwe ngokuba yi-787-10X enokuhlalisa ukuya kuma-320 abakhweli, okanye ama-40 ngaphezulu kwemodeli ye-787-9.
