U.S. aircraft giant Boeing has predicted that global demand for aircraft will double by 2042, slightly raising its 20-year industry forecast.

According to Boeing, airlines will need 48,600 planes over the next two decades, compared with a forecast of 41,170 a year ago.

Boeing's forecast is very close to that of European aircraft maker Airbus, which predicted that the global fleet would double to 46,560 by 2042.

Airbus' forecast took into account only planes with at least 100 seats, while Boeing's prediction included slightly smaller regional aircraft.
