Scherer forecast continued growth in the aviation industry after several boom years, predicting the world will need at least 37,000 new aircraft in the next 20 years.

The chief salesman for Airbus says his company already has the technology to fly passenger planes without pilots at all – and is working on winning over regulators and travellers to the idea.

Christian Scherer also said in an interview on Monday that Airbus hopes to be selling hybrid or electric passenger jets by around 2035.
