HONG KONG - Boeing Co sealed deals amounting to $10 billion with two airlines in China, the world's fastest growing market, which will buy more than 2,000 aircraft in the next five years.

China expected job information 1,100 new transport aircraft and 1,000 general aviation, Wang Changshun county, Deputy Minister of civil aviation administration of China, at a Conference of Asian aerospace on Tuesday said.

Last minute orders for 200 aircraft in December EADS pushed subsidiary Airbus over to the U.S. rival for a third year. Both aircraft makers fly high demand of emerging economies and low-cost airlines and a shift towards less fuel thirsty jets.

Air travel in China's increasingly wealthy population increasingly popular, compete are China Airlines, airlines and Cathay Pacific fleets with players such as Singapore to expand.

China's purchases of aircraft will help drive overall demand in Asia-Pacific, where traffic annual rate is 6.8 percent over the next 20 years, higher than the global pace grow average air expected, Boeing said. Asia-Pacific will be expected to demand one-third of the global level in the next 20 years.

Long range requirements
Air China Ltd., the country's flagship carrier, said that it plans to five Boeing 747-8 aircraft in the value of a list price of approximately 1.5 billion $, a step to buy, would be a boost for the slow sale of Superjumbos Jet.

Boeing has delivered market share, now especially the half of China's with the rest of Airbus. Asia-Pacific demand for aircraft will be probably a significant portion of the demand from global airlines, which 30.900 new passenger and freighter aircraft by 2030 said Boeing aircraft, valued at $3.6 trillion would have to.

In the short term it is be diluted industry's Outlook but also by uncertainties in the global economy.

"This year be a bit slower than in the previous year, the reason for this is that the already sold most of the short-term production capacity that we have available," said Dailey.

"And so airlines a bit slow down before they make these decisions, because they availability within the timeframe 2014 / 15 want to speak aircraft", he said.
