The reports have highlighted developments on legislative and regulatory measures and covered analysis of capacity, traffic and financial performance of airlines and airports, as well as topics such as air traffic control, environment, consumer issues and aircraft manufacturing. This 2015 report covers latest developments in the air transport industry during 2014 and the first half of 2015. It is structured in 9 chapters covering: Air Traffic Trends Airlines Airports Aircraft Manufacturing and MRO Air Traffic Management Market and Competition Issues Environment and Sustainable Development Aviation Safety and Security Consumer Issues The 2015 report is also accompanied by the Statistical Annex. The Annex provides in table format the key data-sets analysed to support each of the topics. This Executive Summary provides highlights of the main report. The key highlights are: Global aviation demand continued to grow in 2014 for the fifth consecutive year since the financial crisis of 2008/09, reaching another record performance of 3.3 billion passengers in 2014, a +5.5% increase on 2013. Air traffic is projected to grow in the long-term, driven by global GDP growth. Annual Revenue Passenger Kilometres (RPKs) are forecast to grow from 5.9 trillion in 2014 to between 14.5 trillion (Airbus projection) and 15.4 trillion (Boeing projection) by 2034, with average growth rates of between 4.6% and 4.9% per annum. The fastest growth rates are anticipated in the developing Asian and Middle Eastern markets. Technology advances over the last five years have changed
