“Our view is that we are already starting to see some improvement in terms of the freighter market,” Boeing Commercial Airplanes Chief Executive Jim Albaugh told Reuters Television in an interview at the Dubai airshow.
“Our sense is that 2012 will start the uptick again (in passenger jet demand) and we should start seeing more orders coming back in 2013 and 2014.”
Albaugh said a rebound in passenger jet demand would be softened to some extent by the return of airplanes that have been parked in the desert during the recent downturn.
“There will be new airplanes as well as airplanes that are coming back into the industry,” he said.
He did not expect any problems in reaching Boeing’s target of delivering 480 to 485 aircraft in 2009 despite airline cash problems, citing the strength of Boeing’s order book.
“We are going to deliver around 480 airplanes this year and I think we will be flat next year,” he said.
He did not expect Boeing, the No. 2 plane maker behind EADS unit Airbus, would need to cut production of single-aisle aircraft to balance demand as some analysts have predicted.
“We don’t anticipate that we are going to be down from the 31 (per month) we are at today,” he said.
Albaugh reaffirmed Boeing’s goal of carrying out the delayed maiden flight of its 787 Dreamliner by end-year, but declined to say what if any risk there was of a further delay into 2010.
“Sometimes things happen. We are going to fly this plane when it is ready and safe and when we know it will be a successful flight. Right now based on everything we know it should fly this year.” —
