BOEING, AIRBUS BATTLEGROUND SHIFTS TO THE ASIA PACIFIC - The Asia-Pacific skies are becoming a crucial arena for the world's two aircraft manufacturing giants, Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) and Airbus S.A.S. (EPA: EAD). China will lead growth in the Asia-Pacific region, with 71,300 pilots and 99,400 technicians in demand through 2030, Boeing said in a statement. Boeing predicts Asia-Pacific will take delivery of 12,030 new jets between now and 2031. "Asia is where the growth is", said Bob Bellitto, global sales director for Boeing's flight services. "We need a lot more pilots in Asia than we do in the North America region or Europe, where the market is largely saturated or full."
