Driven by the emergence of new low-cost carriers (LCC) and rising income levels, the Asia Pacific region is set to emerge as the world's fastest growing aviation market. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) expects Asian passenger traffic and cargo traffic to grow at 6.5% and 8.5% p.a. respectively up till 2009.

The Association for Asia Pacific Aviation forecast that Asia Pacific's share of the world passenger traffic is set to increase from the current 25% to 31% by 2023.

According to Frost & Sullivan's World Aircraft Leasing Industry Analysis and Growth Opportunities report, adoption of the open sky policy by China and India has provided a massive boost to the commercial aviation sector in the Asia Pacific region, with the portfolio size of leased aircraft projected to reach $143.93 billion by 2008.
