Airbus SE expects Asia-Pacific airlines’ need for widebody aircraft to drive a post-pandemic recovery in demand for the larger jets as the region starts to open up, according to a top executive.
The surge in demand isn’t just to replace jets like ones from Airbus’s older A330-family, but also for fleet expansion, Anand Stanley, president of Asia Pacific for the European planemaker, said in an interview on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines in Bangkok on Thursday.
