Growth in the ultra-long haul sector highlights changing habits among passengers, who are willing to travel longer. YahooFinance

SAO PAULO - Serving airlines that will operate flights lasting 14 hours or longer is a"key consideration" for Boeing Co's global growth strategy over the next 20 years, an executive said on Tuesday.

"Globally, if long haul is growing 5% per year, ultra long haul is growing twice that per year," Darren Hulst, a managing director at Boeing, told Reuters in Sao Paulo while discussing market forecasts for the next 20 years. Growth in the ultra-long haul sector highlights changing habits among passengers, who are willing to travel longer. It is also a tribute to the increasing fuel efficiency of aircraft that allow for such routes to be flown profitably.
