The infrastructure is already in place in developed economies, and emerging markets China, India, and smaller countries will continue to build new airports, which will need airplanes to move back and forth from the new cities China continues to build, creating new growth opportunities for the Boeing Co regardless of the current temporary weakness in emerging markets today.
