Airbus has reduced its long-term forecast for single-aisle jet demand in China by 500 units over the next 20 years, attributing the decline to the expansion of China's high-speed rail network which is reducing air travel demand.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The growth of China's high-speed rail is shifting transport demand away from planes, making air travel less lucrative for you in the commercial jet market. Adjust your market entry and growth plans in China to anticipate slower jet demand growth.
