Airbus A220-500 And Boeing 777-10X Among Contenders For Next Generation Jets
Global lessor Avolon has released its ‘Up Next’ report, forecasting key trends in the aviation sector for 2026 and beyond. The report predicts that a new commercial aircraft program launch could be announced in 2027, with the Airbus A220-500, A350-2000, and Boeing 777-10X as potential contenders. Avolon also expects global airline industry profits to top $41 billion in 2026, driven by low fuel prices and economic growth. The report highlights the ongoing supply shortage and long order backlogs at Airbus and Boeing, which could support higher lease rates and strong residual values. This was reported by AeroTime.
