Source: Airbus In its latest Global Services Forecast (GSF) for Asia-Pacific (including China and India), Airbus anticipates that total services demand in the region will grow at a 5.2% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2044, reaching an estimated market value of US$138.7 billion. This sustained growth will be underpinned by expanding air traffic and fleet growth. Over the next 20 years, Asia-Pacific will require 19,560 new passenger aircraft, accounting for 46% of total global demand during the forecast period. The region is also expected to remain the world’s fastest-growing air travel market, with passenger traffic rising at 4.4% annually, well above the global average of 3.6%. The Airbus GSF identifies five key services segments that will drive this growth [...]

Source: H55 Electric aviation has faced a single, unresolved bottleneck: proving to regulators that high-energy propulsion batteries can safely contain worst-case failures. H55 has announced that it has completed the industry's first regulator-required and authority-witnessed propulsion battery module certification test sequence — addressing a critical gating factor that has constrained the commercialisation and financing of electric aircraft programs. Completed on December 19, 2025, the EASA-supervised campaign places H55 at the forefront of efforts to establish certification-grade, aviation-safe propulsion battery systems, setting the standards against which future programs will be assessed. The campaign provides certification-level evidence that commercial lithium battery cells can be integrated into aviation propulsion battery systems capable of safely containing worst-case failure scenarios, especially fire propagation. From Validation [...]
