Aug 26 (Reuters) - U.S. planemaker Boeing ( BA ) said on

Monday it expects China to need 8,830 new planes through 2043,

as the country's aviation industry expands and modernizes to

meet growing demand for passenger and cargo air travel.

This compares with its previous 20-year forecast last year

when it said Chinese airlines will need to buy 8,560 new

commercial planes through 2042.
