Shortage of Aircraft

Watching an aircraft related video recently it highlighted that many airlines were needing new aircraft but that there was an overall shortage, a lot due to Boeing’s woes. What the video did highlight that many aircraft ordered may take 10 years for delivery.

Now I didn’t think buying an aircraft was like buying a car but 10 years, how can airlines plan 10 years in advance when net zero would like to curtail flying.
