Izinkampani zezindiza zomhlaba wonke zizodinga izindiza ezintsha ezingu-33,500 zenani lama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-4.0 esikhathini esingaphansi kweminyaka engamashumi amabili, kanti i-Asia ibalwa cishe ngamaphesenti angu-35 engqikithi, kusho umenzi wezindiza waseMelika uBoeing izolo.

Ezindizeni ezintsha ezingama-33,500 ezidingekayo emhlabeni jikelele, cishe amaphesenti angama-60 azoba ezokwandiswa kwemikhumbi, okusele kuzothatha indawo yamasheya asebekhulile.
