US International Airline Capacity Growth for Thanksgiving 2025
\n
Although total capacity to overseas destinations is only some 2% ahead of the previous year’s levels, there is strong international capacity growth from a number of airlines.
\n
Amongst the US-based airlines, United Airlines leads the way with the addition of some 37,000 seats in Thanksgiving week compared to last year, representing an increase of 9% year-on-year - while their major legacy competitors are being more cautious.
\n
The strength of demand to and from Latin American destinations is also visible:
\n
\n
Avianca add an additional 9,000 seats increasing capacity by 19% year-on-year
\n
Volaris adds an extra 7,400 more seats, growth of 9% year-on-year
\n
\n
For Air Canada, a reduction of capacity by some 11% over the seven-day period reflects the challenges of the market now, and Canadian airline WestJet is similarly reducing capacity to the US by 12%.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Mexico remains the largest international market over the Thanksgiving period with over half a million seats scheduled for the week, an increase of 7,000 over last year.
\n
Given the capacity reductions by Air Canada and WestJet, the loss of nearly 27,000 seats to Canada is not unexpected, although interestingly United Airlines are operating some 10% more capacity to Canada than last year.
\n
The United Kingdom remains the third-largest international market, however, capacity cuts from carriers such as British Airways and American Airlines result in total capacity falling by nearly 7,000 seats this year.
\n
\n
\n
With total capacity broadly looking similar to last year’s levels - albeit with some additions and reductions from a few carriers - the only remaining issue is operational reliability and the hope that no severe weather impacts travel in the coming days. If operations run as planned then despite the fears of a few weeks back, it looks like the airline industry is on track for a happy Thanksgiving.

US Domestic Airline Capacity Growth for Thanksgiving 2025
\n
Leading the domestic capacity growth is Breeze Airways, which has increased capacity by some 34% compared to last year’s Thanksgiving week, while in absolute terms Southwestleads capacity growth with 200,000 more seats on sale this year.
\n
Low-cost carriers (LCCs) appear to be more bullish in their capacity growth as competition intensifies in the US domestic market with JetBlue, Allegiant and Frontier all growing capacity by more than 5%.

In our October edition, we deliberately took a step back from the nonstop wave of AI headlines to focus on the quieter, non-AI side of aviation innovation. But, as we hinted in our closing line, it was only a matter of time before AI returned to the spotlight.
\n\n
This month, it’s back, and stronger than ever. What’s most striking about the recent wave of AI announcements is the sheer range of players now involved. Airlines, airports, and OTAs are all racing to lead the movement, each trying to carve out their slice of the AI future.
\n
A perfect example is Expedia: the company is integrating new AI tools into its own products, building APIs for partners, embedding its app within ChatGPT, and even joining forces with Perplexity on its new AI-powered browser, COMET. It’s a sign of just how far-reaching the AI transformation in travel has become.
\n
So yes, AI is back, but not every breakthrough needs an algorithm. Here’s our must-read overview of the innovations (AI-powered and not) reshaping Airline Tech in November.
\n\n
Key Summary:
\n\n
Aeroporti di Roma’s new AI Virtual Assistant aims to give travelers real-time support and personalized guidance before, during, and after the airport experience via WhatsApp and the airport’s website.
\n
easyJet plans to roll out the SITA Agent app, a mobile tool that gives ground staff the freedom to assist passengers anywhere in the airport terminal.
\n
Sabre has unveiled a significant upgrade to its continuous pricing engine, enhanced with advanced AI. This new system delivers real-time, personalised price recommendations by processing live booking data alongside wider market trends.

Let’s start at the airport front. While AI-powered chatbots at airports are nothing new, Aeroporti di Roma (ADR), the operator of Rome’s Fiumicino and Ciampino airports, has taken the concept a step further.
\n
Built in collaboration with AWS and Storm Reply, ADR’s new AI Virtual Assistant aims to give travelers real-time support and personalized guidance via WhatsApp and the airport’s website.
\n
How does it work?
\n
The chatbot is designed to accompany travelers throughout their entire airport journey, from planning their trip to collecting their luggage.
\n
\n
It can tell you where to park before even leaving home, how to reach the terminal by bus, taxi, or train, and what restaurants or shops are worth stopping by once you’re inside.
\n
It also offers baggage status updates, connection assistance for those with transfers, and (crucially for a global gateway like Rome) multilingual support, making it easy for travelers from all over the world to get help in their own language.
\n
\n
It’s not hard to see the value in that. Most airport chatbots stop at flight updates or basic service info. ADR’s version feels closer to a true digital companion, one that stays relevant before, during, and after the airport experience.
\n
Why does this innovation matter?
\n
Two things make this initiative stand out.
\n
First, the integration of parking and transportation information gives ADR something most airports lack: a pre-journey touchpoint. The ability to connect with travelers before they enter the airport environment could open a whole new layer of engagement.
\n
Second, the multilingual design shows a smart understanding of Rome’s unique position as a major European hub welcoming nearly 50 million travelers annually. For an airport serving such a diverse mix of nationalities, accessibility isn’t just nice to have; it’s essential.
\n
The real test, however, will be adoption.
\n
Historically, passengers have viewed airlines or booking platforms as their primary source of travel updates, rather than airports. If Aeroporti di Roma can change that perception, it could redefine how airports engage with passengers and prove that travelers are (finally) ready to chat with the airport itself.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Innovation #2: SITA and EasyJet Free the Ground Crew from the Desk
\n
We’re staying on airport ground for our second innovation, but this time, we’re switching perspectives. And no, it’s not AI-powered. It’s powered by people, mobility, and a clever rethink of how ground operations actually work.
\n
\n
Over the past 12 months, SITA and easyJet have been quietly testing a new way of working at Gatwick Airport and four other UK hubs.
\n
Their joint project is the SITA Agent app: a mobile tool that gives ground staff the freedom to assist passengers anywhere in the terminal.
\n
\n
During the year-long trial, over 1,000 ground crew members used the app to print more than 40,000 boarding passes, check in 30,000 passengers, and board over five million travelers, all without being tied to a traditional check-in counter.
\n
The trial was such a success that easyJet now plans to roll it out to more than 150 airports across its European network.
\n
So, what’s so special about this?
\n
At first glance, it might sound like a simple digital upgrade: a mobile app for ground crew. But the real innovation lies in what this represents: a shift from fixed to flexible airport operations.
\n
\n
For decades, airport workflows have revolved around static infrastructure like desks, kiosks, and long queues that bottleneck the entire system, especially during peak travel seasons when terminal space is tight.
\n
The SITA-easyJet model flips that logic. By equipping staff with mobile tools connected to check-in, boarding, and bag-tagging systems, they can go where passengers need them most (in the queue, at the gate, or anywhere on the floor).
\n
\n
It’s the aviation equivalent of what Apple did for retail when it got rid of the checkout counter.
\n
\n
Store employees suddenly became free to help customers throughout the space, answering questions, processing payments, and creating a more human, less transactional experience.
\n
SITA and easyJet are doing the same for airports: transforming the passenger journey from a queue-based process into a conversation-based one.
\n
\n
And just like in retail, the impact could scale fast. By reducing reliance on fixed counters, airlines and airports can make far better use of terminal space, speed up turnaround times, and deliver more personalized service at peak times, all without major structural overhauls.
\n
If this experiment is any indication, the future of airport operations could be a lot more mobile and actually a lot more human, rather than automated by machines.
\n
\n
Innovation #3: Sabre Supercharges Airline Pricing with Real-Time AI
\n
From the airport floor to the airline’s commercial command centers, where fares are set and revenue decisions are made, our final innovation takes us deep into the world of airline pricing.
\n
Sabre made headlines this month with a major update to its continuous pricing engine, now supercharged by advanced AI integrations. The system promises to deliver real-time, passenger-level price recommendations by combining live booking data with signals from broader market dynamics and demand trends.
\n
How does it work?
\n
\n
Sabre’s AI engine continuously monitors what travelers are searching and booking, adjusting fare levels in real time.
\n
Instead of relying on static fare classes or pre-defined price ladders, it generates dynamic, data-driven price points that reflect true market demand at any given moment.
\n
The system analyzes live bookings, competitor pricing, and seasonal demand shifts to ensure that every fare offer is as responsive (and profitable) as possible.
\n
\n
In fairness, Sabre isn’t alone in this race.
\n
Nearly every major airline and technology provider is working to make pricing more continuous, flexible, and intelligent – a topic we explored in detail in our Continuous Pricing Primer. A growing ecosystem of players, including Fetcherr,PROS, FLYR, Amadeus, Accelya, Sabre, and many others are all pushing AI deeper into the core of airline revenue management. The recent announcement from Sabre serves as one clear example of how this shift is taking shape in practice. According to the company, early adopters of its AI-enhanced pricing engine have reported revenue uplifts between 3% and 6% in competitive markets, achieved by matching fares more precisely to demand and customer segments in real time.
\n
Why does this matter?
\n
On a macro level, it’s another clear sign that fare pricing is evolving fast. The industry’s decades-old model of rigid fare classes is giving way to a new era of data-driven retailing, where AI turns static price tags into fluid, adaptive offers.
\n
This evolution is being accelerated by the rise of Shopping Data – a concept we at OAG define as the growing pool of real-time traveler search and shopping signals. As airlines begin to harness this data more effectively, it becomes a powerful input for pricing engines like Sabre’s, helping match fare offers to market intent with unprecedented precision.
\n
If Rome’s airport app and easyJet’s mobile ground operations point to new ways of running the airline experience, Sabre’s AI engine shows how the next generation of intelligence is being built right into the industry’s financial core.
\n
\n
That’s it for November. See you again in December for our yearly closeout on the innovations shaping aviation and Airline Tech in 2025.

\n\n
This month, it’s back, and stronger than ever. What’s most striking about the recent wave of AI announcements is the sheer range of players now involved. Airlines, airports, and OTAs are all racing to lead the movement, each trying to carve out their slice of the AI future.
\n
A perfect example is Expedia: the company is integrating new AI tools into its own products, building APIs for partners, embedding its app within ChatGPT, and even joining forces with Perplexity on its new AI-powered browser, COMET. It’s a sign of just how far-reaching the AI transformation in travel has become.

\n
Let’s start at the airport front. While AI-powered chatbots at airports are nothing new, Aeroporti di Roma (ADR), the operator of Rome’s Fiumicino and Ciampino airports, has taken the concept a step further.
\n
Built in collaboration with AWS and Storm Reply, ADR’s new AI Virtual Assistant aims to give travelers real-time support and personalized guidance via WhatsApp and the airport’s website.
\n
How does it work?
\n
The chatbot is designed to accompany travelers throughout their entire airport journey, from planning their trip to collecting their luggage.
\n
\n
It can tell you where to park before even leaving home, how to reach the terminal by bus, taxi, or train, and what restaurants or shops are worth stopping by once you’re inside.
\n
It also offers baggage status updates, connection assistance for those with transfers, and (crucially for a global gateway like Rome) multilingual support, making it easy for travelers from all over the world to get help in their own language.
\n
\n
It’s not hard to see the value in that. Most airport chatbots stop at flight updates or basic service info. ADR’s version feels closer to a true digital companion, one that stays relevant before, during, and after the airport experience.
\n
Why does this innovation matter?
\n
Two things make this initiative stand out.
\n
First, the integration of parking and transportation information gives ADR something most airports lack: a pre-journey touchpoint. The ability to connect with travelers before they enter the airport environment could open a whole new layer of engagement.
\n
Second, the multilingual design shows a smart understanding of Rome’s unique position as a major European hub welcoming nearly 50 million travelers annually. For an airport serving such a diverse mix of nationalities, accessibility isn’t just nice to have; it’s essential.
\n
The real test, however, will be adoption.
\n
Historically, passengers have viewed airlines or booking platforms as their primary source of travel updates, rather than airports. If Aeroporti di Roma can change that perception, it could redefine how airports engage with passengers and prove that travelers are (finally) ready to chat with the airport itself.
\n

Innovation #2: SITA and EasyJet Free the Ground Crew from the Desk
\n
We’re staying on airport ground for our second innovation, but this time, we’re switching perspectives. And no, it’s not AI-powered. It’s powered by people, mobility, and a clever rethink of how ground operations actually work.
\n
\n
Over the past 12 months, SITA and easyJet have been quietly testing a new way of working at Gatwick Airport and four other UK hubs.
\n
Their joint project is the SITA Agent app: a mobile tool that gives ground staff the freedom to assist passengers anywhere in the terminal.
\n
\n
During the year-long trial, over 1,000 ground crew members used the app to print more than 40,000 boarding passes, check in 30,000 passengers, and board over five million travelers, all without being tied to a traditional check-in counter.
\n
The trial was such a success that easyJet now plans to roll it out to more than 150 airports across its European network.
\n
So, what’s so special about this?
\n
At first glance, it might sound like a simple digital upgrade: a mobile app for ground crew. But the real innovation lies in what this represents: a shift from fixed to flexible airport operations.
\n
\n
For decades, airport workflows have revolved around static infrastructure like desks, kiosks, and long queues that bottleneck the entire system, especially during peak travel seasons when terminal space is tight.
\n
The SITA-easyJet model flips that logic. By equipping staff with mobile tools connected to check-in, boarding, and bag-tagging systems, they can go where passengers need them most (in the queue, at the gate, or anywhere on the floor).
\n
\n
It’s the aviation equivalent of what Apple did for retail when it got rid of the checkout counter.
\n
\n
Store employees suddenly became free to help customers throughout the space, answering questions, processing payments, and creating a more human, less transactional experience.
\n
SITA and easyJet are doing the same for airports: transforming the passenger journey from a queue-based process into a conversation-based one.
\n
\n
And just like in retail, the impact could scale fast. By reducing reliance on fixed counters, airlines and airports can make far better use of terminal space, speed up turnaround times, and deliver more personalized service at peak times, all without major structural overhauls.
\n
If this experiment is any indication, the future of airport operations could be a lot more mobile and actually a lot more human, rather than automated by machines.

Innovation #3: Sabre Supercharges Airline Pricing with Real-Time AI
\n
From the airport floor to the airline’s commercial command centers, where fares are set and revenue decisions are made, our final innovation takes us deep into the world of airline pricing.
\n
Sabre made headlines this month with a major update to its continuous pricing engine, now supercharged by advanced AI integrations. The system promises to deliver real-time, passenger-level price recommendations by combining live booking data with signals from broader market dynamics and demand trends.
\n
How does it work?
\n
\n
Sabre’s AI engine continuously monitors what travelers are searching and booking, adjusting fare levels in real time.
\n
Instead of relying on static fare classes or pre-defined price ladders, it generates dynamic, data-driven price points that reflect true market demand at any given moment.
\n
The system analyzes live bookings, competitor pricing, and seasonal demand shifts to ensure that every fare offer is as responsive (and profitable) as possible.
\n
\n
In fairness, Sabre isn’t alone in this race.
\n
Nearly every major airline and technology provider is working to make pricing more continuous, flexible, and intelligent – a topic we explored in detail in our Continuous Pricing Primer. A growing ecosystem of players, including Fetcherr,PROS, FLYR, Amadeus, Accelya, Sabre, and many others are all pushing AI deeper into the core of airline revenue management. The recent announcement from Sabre serves as one clear example of how this shift is taking shape in practice. According to the company, early adopters of its AI-enhanced pricing engine have reported revenue uplifts between 3% and 6% in competitive markets, achieved by matching fares more precisely to demand and customer segments in real time.
\n
Why does this matter?
\n
On a macro level, it’s another clear sign that fare pricing is evolving fast. The industry’s decades-old model of rigid fare classes is giving way to a new era of data-driven retailing, where AI turns static price tags into fluid, adaptive offers.
\n
This evolution is being accelerated by the rise of Shopping Data – a concept we at OAG define as the growing pool of real-time traveler search and shopping signals. As airlines begin to harness this data more effectively, it becomes a powerful input for pricing engines like Sabre’s, helping match fare offers to market intent with unprecedented precision.
\n
If Rome’s airport app and easyJet’s mobile ground operations point to new ways of running the airline experience, Sabre’s AI engine shows how the next generation of intelligence is being built right into the industry’s financial core.
\n
\n
That’s it for November. See you again in December for our yearly closeout on the innovations shaping aviation and Airline Tech in 2025.

In our October edition, we deliberately took a step back from the nonstop wave of AI headlines to focus on the quieter, non-AI side of aviation innovation. But, as we hinted in our closing line, it was only a matter of time before AI returned to the spotlight.
\n\n
This month, it’s back, and stronger than ever. What’s most striking about the recent wave of AI announcements is the sheer range of players now involved. Airlines, airports, and OTAs are all racing to lead the movement, each trying to carve out their slice of the AI future.
\n
A perfect example is Expedia: the company is integrating new AI tools into its own products, building APIs for partners, embedding its app within ChatGPT, and even joining forces with Perplexity on its new AI-powered browser, COMET. It’s a sign of just how far-reaching the AI transformation in travel has become.
\n
So yes, AI is back, but not every breakthrough needs an algorithm. Here’s our must-read overview of the innovations (AI-powered and not) reshaping Airline Tech in November.
\n\n
Key Summary:
\n\n
Aeroporti di Roma’s new AI Virtual Assistant aims to give travelers real-time support and personalized guidance before, during, and after the airport experience via WhatsApp and the airport’s website.
\n
easyJet plans to roll out the SITA Agent app, a mobile tool that gives ground staff the freedom to assist passengers anywhere in the airport terminal.
\n
Sabre has unveiled a significant upgrade to its continuous pricing engine, enhanced with advanced AI. This new system delivers real-time, personalised price recommendations by processing live booking data alongside wider market trends.
\n\n\n
Innovation #1: Aeroporti di Roma Launches an AI Virtual Assistant for Smarter Traveler Support
\n
Let’s start at the airport front. While AI-powered chatbots at airports are nothing new, Aeroporti di Roma (ADR), the operator of Rome’s Fiumicino and Ciampino airports, has taken the concept a step further.
\n
Built in collaboration with AWS and Storm Reply, ADR’s new AI Virtual Assistant aims to give travelers real-time support and personalized guidance via WhatsApp and the airport’s website.
\n
How does it work?
\n
The chatbot is designed to accompany travelers throughout their entire airport journey, from planning their trip to collecting their luggage.
\n
\n
It can tell you where to park before even leaving home, how to reach the terminal by bus, taxi, or train, and what restaurants or shops are worth stopping by once you’re inside.
\n
It also offers baggage status updates, connection assistance for those with transfers, and (crucially for a global gateway like Rome) multilingual support, making it easy for travelers from all over the world to get help in their own language.
\n
\n
It’s not hard to see the value in that. Most airport chatbots stop at flight updates or basic service info. ADR’s version feels closer to a true digital companion, one that stays relevant before, during, and after the airport experience.
\n
Why does this innovation matter?
\n
Two things make this initiative stand out.
\n
First, the integration of parking and transportation information gives ADR something most airports lack: a pre-journey touchpoint. The ability to connect with travelers before they enter the airport environment could open a whole new layer of engagement.
\n
Second, the multilingual design shows a smart understanding of Rome’s unique position as a major European hub welcoming nearly 50 million travelers annually. For an airport serving such a diverse mix of nationalities, accessibility isn’t just nice to have; it’s essential.
\n
The real test, however, will be adoption.
\n
Historically, passengers have viewed airlines or booking platforms as their primary source of travel updates, rather than airports. If Aeroporti di Roma can change that perception, it could redefine how airports engage with passengers and prove that travelers are (finally) ready to chat with the airport itself.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Innovation #2: SITA and EasyJet Free the Ground Crew from the Desk
\n
We’re staying on airport ground for our second innovation, but this time, we’re switching perspectives. And no, it’s not AI-powered. It’s powered by people, mobility, and a clever rethink of how ground operations actually work.
\n
\n
Over the past 12 months, SITA and easyJet have been quietly testing a new way of working at Gatwick Airport and four other UK hubs.
\n
Their joint project is the SITA Agent app: a mobile tool that gives ground staff the freedom to assist passengers anywhere in the terminal.
\n
\n
During the year-long trial, over 1,000 ground crew members used the app to print more than 40,000 boarding passes, check in 30,000 passengers, and board over five million travelers, all without being tied to a traditional check-in counter.
\n
The trial was such a success that easyJet now plans to roll it out to more than 150 airports across its European network.
\n
So, what’s so special about this?
\n
At first glance, it might sound like a simple digital upgrade: a mobile app for ground crew. But the real innovation lies in what this represents: a shift from fixed to flexible airport operations.
\n
\n
For decades, airport workflows have revolved around static infrastructure like desks, kiosks, and long queues that bottleneck the entire system, especially during peak travel seasons when terminal space is tight.
\n
The SITA-easyJet model flips that logic. By equipping staff with mobile tools connected to check-in, boarding, and bag-tagging systems, they can go where passengers need them most (in the queue, at the gate, or anywhere on the floor).
\n
\n
It’s the aviation equivalent of what Apple did for retail when it got rid of the checkout counter.
\n
\n
Store employees suddenly became free to help customers throughout the space, answering questions, processing payments, and creating a more human, less transactional experience.
\n
SITA and easyJet are doing the same for airports: transforming the passenger journey from a queue-based process into a conversation-based one.
\n
\n
And just like in retail, the impact could scale fast. By reducing reliance on fixed counters, airlines and airports can make far better use of terminal space, speed up turnaround times, and deliver more personalized service at peak times, all without major structural overhauls.
\n

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Valeria Bucheli (Senior Tourism Representative - Head of Aviation, ProColombia) to discuss the dynamic growth of Colombia's aviation market and the driving forces behind it.
\n\n
The panel discussed:
\n
\n
What is driving the rapid growth of air services in Colombia
\n
Who is travelling internationally and to where
\n
Airline expansion strategies - examining the players, their approaches, and the reasons behind them
\n
\n\n
A look at growth trends
\n
First, the panel began by taking a look at global growth trends:
\n
\n
Global capacity growth for the year to date remains steady, at 3% ahead of last year.
\n
NOTE: 2025 is the yellow line, 2024 is the grey line, 2019 is the black line, and the green dotted line shows where capacity would have been had pre-2019 growth trends continued.
\n
\n
\n
Colombia: A market overview
\n
Next, the panel gave some context on Colombia's market in capacity terms:
\n
\n
This month, Colombia is the 23rd largest market in capacity terms globally, with 10.7m seats across both domestic and international markets.
\n
Only Brazil and Mexico are bigger in terms of Latin America competitors, driven by their much larger populations leading to very large domestic air markets.
\n
Over the last 25 years, Colombia has seen capacity grow at a CAGR rate of 5.8%, second only to Panama, amongst the Top 10 in Latin America.
\n
\n
\n
Colombia's post-covid recovery
\n
While looking at Colombia's growth trends over the past decade, the panel discussed the strategies taken during and coming out of the pandemic that helped boost their post-Covid recovery:
\n
\n
A strategic location for inbound travel
\n
Next, the panel highlighted the importance of Colombia's location and the opportunities it provides to connect with travellers from across the Americas:
\n
\n
And what about outbound travel?
\n
Off the back of the previous slide, the panel discuss outbound travel - where are Colombians flying to?

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Andrew Ward (Director, Transport & Logistics, Middle East) to discuss the influential rise of superconnectors in the Gulf region and Türkiye and their impact on worldwide connectivity.
\n\n
The panel discussed:
\n
\n
The extent to which infrastructure enables growth
\n
How national airline development has transformed Europe-Asia connectivity
\n
What rising competitors (like Riyadh) could mean for the future
\n
\n\n
A look at growth trends
\n
First, the panel began by taking a look at global growth trends:
\n
\n
Global capacity growth is slowing, down to 2.9% for the year to date, from 3.1% during the summer.
\n
Domestic capacity growth for the year to date (January-September) remains strong in Latin America and the Middle East, but has slowed in Asia Pacific, North America, and is declining in Europe.
\n
International capacity growth remains strong in all regions with the exception of North America. Strongest international growth is taking place in the Asia Pacific region, although the region still remains behind 2019.
\n
\n
\n
exploring the Superconnectors
\n
Next, the panel moved on to discuss the topic of this month's webinar, superconnectors:
\n
\n
Europe’s biggest international hubs are experiencing slower capacity growth (LHR year-on-year capacity growth is just 0.9%, FRA 1.4%, and CDG 3.3%).
\n
Other international hubs are growing faster – notably IST, which is up 5.5%, and HKG +13%, driven by ongoing post-COVID-19 recovery and new runway capacity.
\n
The Middle East and Türkiye have spent the last decade developing multi-runway, mega-terminal designs to handle 70M–100M+ passengers annually, allowing hubs in these areas to capture connecting flows.
\n
Dubai is the largest of the group, with capacity reaching 124m in 2025, up from 104m a decade ago. However, it is the slowest growing, with a CAGR of 1.8%.
\n
The fastest growing is Riyadh, averaging 6.1% capacity growth each year for the last decade.
\n
\n
So, how do the superconnectors compare?
\n
\n
How has connectivity evolved?
\n
Next, the panel explored the data to examine how connectivity has evolved for major hubs:
\n
\n
Doha's share of connecting passengers has grown from 66% in 2015 to 74% in 2025. Istanbul is a close second, increasing from 53% in 2015 to 59% in 2025.
\n
Connecting traffic as an overall share of passengers has fallen at Dubai from 50% in 2015 to 47% now. This means that more than half of Dubai’s passengers start or end their journey in Dubai. Abu Dhabi (Zayed International) has also seen the volume of connecting passengers fall from 67% to 51%.
\n
The level of connecting passengers at Riyadh has not changed significantly in the last decade, but is likely to increase as Riyadh Air offers greater connectivity.
\n
\n
\n
What does the future hold?
\n
\n
Looking ahead to 2050, airports across the region are set to expand their runway and terminal infrastructure to accommodate an estimated 844 million passengers - more than twice today’s volumes.
\n
While this seems a substantial increase, regional growth is projected to exceed 5% annually for the remainder of the decade, easing to around 4% thereafter. Therefore, achieving these passenger volumes by 2050 is well within reach.
\n
\n
The big question is, will passenger shares across these global hubs remain the same, or are there big changes to come?

Dubai is the largest of the group, with capacity reaching 124m in 2025, up from 104m a decade ago. However, it is the slowest growing, with a CAGR of 1.8%.
\n
The fastest growing is Riyadh, averaging 6.1% capacity growth each year for the last decade.
\n
\n
So, how do the superconnectors compare?
\n
\n
How has connectivity evolved?
\n
Next, the panel explored the data to examine how connectivity has evolved for major hubs:
\n
\n
Doha's share of connecting passengers has grown from 66% in 2015 to 74% in 2025. Istanbul is a close second, increasing from 53% in 2015 to 59% in 2025.
\n
Connecting traffic as an overall share of passengers has fallen at Dubai from 50% in 2015 to 47% now. This means that more than half of Dubai’s passengers start or end their journey in Dubai. Abu Dhabi (Zayed International) has also seen the volume of connecting passengers fall from 67% to 51%.
\n
The level of connecting passengers at Riyadh has not changed significantly in the last decade, but is likely to increase as Riyadh Air offers greater connectivity.
\n
\n
\n
What does the future hold?
\n
\n
Looking ahead to 2050, airports across the region are set to expand their runway and terminal infrastructure to accommodate an estimated 844 million passengers - more than twice today’s volumes.
\n
While this seems a substantial increase, regional growth is projected to exceed 5% annually for the remainder of the decade, easing to around 4% thereafter. Therefore, achieving these passenger volumes by 2050 is well within reach.
\n
\n
The big question is, will passenger shares across these global hubs remain the same, or are there big changes to come?

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Andrew Ward (Director, Transport & Logistics, Middle East) to discuss the influential rise of superconnectors in the Gulf region and Türkiye and their impact on worldwide connectivity.
\n\n
The panel discussed:
\n
\n
The extent to which infrastructure enables growth
\n
How national airline development has transformed Europe-Asia connectivity
\n
What rising competitors (like Riyadh) could mean for the future
\n
\n\n
A look at growth trends
\n
First, the panel began by taking a look at global growth trends:
\n
\n
Global capacity growth is slowing, down to 2.9% for the year to date, from 3.1% during the summer.
\n
Domestic capacity growth for the year to date (January-September) remains strong in Latin America and the Middle East, but has slowed in Asia Pacific, North America, and is declining in Europe.
\n
International capacity growth remains strong in all regions with the exception of North America. Strongest international growth is taking place in the Asia Pacific region, although the region still remains behind 2019.
\n
\n
\n
exploring the Superconnectors
\n
Next, the panel moved on to discuss the topic of this month's webinar, superconnectors:
\n
\n
Europe’s biggest international hubs are experiencing slower capacity growth (LHR year-on-year capacity growth is just 0.9%, FRA 1.4%, and CDG 3.3%).
\n
Other international hubs are growing faster – notably IST, which is up 5.5%, and HKG +13%, driven by ongoing post-COVID-19 recovery and new runway capacity.
\n
The Middle East and Türkiye have spent the last decade developing multi-runway, mega-terminal designs to handle 70M–100M+ passengers annually, allowing hubs in these areas to capture connecting flows.
\n
Dubai is the largest of the group, with capacity reaching 124m in 2025, up from 104m a decade ago. However, it is the slowest growing, with a CAGR of 1.8%.

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Courtney Miller (Founder and Managing Director, Visual Approach Analytics) and Gary Bowerman (Asia Travel Markets & Consumer Trends Analyst) to give a mid-year aviation recap and discuss predictions for the industry for the second half of 2025.
\n\n
The live panel discussed global growth trends and also took a deep dive into some of the world's biggest markets:
\n
\n
In Asia, is Japan reaching peak volumes? Why has Thailand’s capacity dropped dramatically this year? Is Vietnam’s aviation market a rising star?
\n
In the US, one of the world’s biggest domestic markets, is more consolidation imminent? And is international travel demand finally softening?
\n
\n\n
A look at growth trends
\n
First, the panel began by taking a look at global growth trends:
\n
\n
Capacity for this summer is expected to be 3.1% ahead of 2024, a little slower than we expected last month. For the year to date so far (January-July 2025), capacity is 3.1% ahead of the same months in 2024.
\n
If growth had continued at the underlying rate from 2019 to 2025, capacity would now be at 625m seats in July 2025, rather than 557m.
\n
The equivalent ‘lost’ daily flights in the month of July are almost 19,000.
\n
\n
\n
Part one: asia
\n
Next, the panel began their in-depth analysis with a focus on Asia’s aviation market:
\n
\n
Several of Southeast Asia’s major markets are showing notable capacity gains: Vietnam is up by 16%, Malaysia by 10%, and Cambodia by an impressive 22%.
\n
However, this increase in capacity is not reflected in the latest H1 2025 arrivals data, which indicates that most markets have experienced a decline in visitor arrivals—Vietnam being the key exception.
\n
\n
In this clip, Gary gave his insights into these capacity trends we've seen developing:
\n
\n
vietnam growth takes off
\n
Growth in Vietnam has been on a steady upward trajectory since around 2011, with significant international growth taking place between 2010 and 2019. In the 15 years from 2010-2025, growth has averaged 9%, despite the impact of the pandemic. Is this Vietnam’s moment?
\n
\n
Part two: usa
\n
In the second half of the webinar, the panel discussed the US - is the domestic market softening?
\n
\n
Domestic capacity in the US is pretty flat – although not contracting – this summer, with capacity growth of just 0.8%, compared to an increase of 2.3% in international capacity.
\n
Looking at the Top 10 carriers (domestic and international capacity) shows mixed performance: United leads with a 6.3% year-on-year increase, Delta has grown by 2.9%, and American by a steadier 1.2%.
\n
In contrast, most low-cost and ultra-low-cost carriers are seeing limited growth, with the notable exception of Allegiant, which is up 13.6%.

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Courtney Miller (Founder and Managing Director, Visual Approach Analytics) and Gary Bowerman (Asia Travel Markets & Consumer Trends Analyst) to give a mid-year aviation recap and discuss predictions for the industry for the second half of 2025.
\n\n
The live panel discussed global growth trends and also took a deep dive into some of the world's biggest markets:
\n
\n
In Asia, is Japan reaching peak volumes? Why has Thailand’s capacity dropped dramatically this year? Is Vietnam’s aviation market a rising star?
\n
In the US, one of the world’s biggest domestic markets, is more consolidation imminent? And is international travel demand finally softening?
\n
\n\n
A look at growth trends
\n
First, the panel began by taking a look at global growth trends:
\n
\n
Capacity for this summer is expected to be 3.1% ahead of 2024, a little slower than we expected last month. For the year to date so far (January-July 2025), capacity is 3.1% ahead of the same months in 2024.
\n
If growth had continued at the underlying rate from 2019 to 2025, capacity would now be at 625m seats in July 2025, rather than 557m.
\n
The equivalent ‘lost’ daily flights in the month of July are almost 19,000.
\n
\n
\n
Part one: asia
\n
Next, the panel began their in-depth analysis with a focus on Asia’s aviation market:
\n
\n
Several of Southeast Asia’s major markets are showing notable capacity gains: Vietnam is up by 16%, Malaysia by 10%, and Cambodia by an impressive 22%.
\n
However, this increase in capacity is not reflected in the latest H1 2025 arrivals data, which indicates that most markets have experienced a decline in visitor arrivals—Vietnam being the key exception.
\n
\n
In this clip, Gary gave his insights into these capacity trends we've seen developing:
\n
\n
vietnam growth takes off
\n
Growth in Vietnam has been on a steady upward trajectory since around 2011, with significant international growth taking place between 2010 and 2019. In the 15 years from 2010-2025, growth has averaged 9%, despite the impact of the pandemic. Is this Vietnam’s moment?
\n
\n
Part two: usa
\n
In the second half of the webinar, the panel discussed the US - is the domestic market softening?
\n
\n
Domestic capacity in the US is pretty flat – although not contracting – this summer, with capacity growth of just 0.8%, compared to an increase of 2.3% in international capacity.
\n
Looking at the Top 10 carriers (domestic and international capacity) shows mixed performance: United leads with a 6.3% year-on-year increase, Delta has grown by 2.9%, and American by a steadier 1.2%.
\n
In contrast, most low-cost and ultra-low-cost carriers are seeing limited growth, with the notable exception of Allegiant, which is up 13.6%.
\n

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Oliver Martin (Senior Director, Skift Inc) and Jacob Pewitt Yancey (Head of Analytics, Arrivalist) to dive into the latest global tourism trends.
\n\n
The live panel discussed:
\n
\n
Are tourism patterns changing? Where is everyone going this year?
\n
What impact, if any, might tariffs be having on tourism?
\n
With a flurry of new 2030 tourism targets being announced this year, where will we all be going in the next 5 years?
\n
\n\n
A look at growth trends
\n
The panel began by starting at the top and looking at global growth trends:
\n
\n
Capacity for this summer is expected to be 3.2% ahead of 2024.
\n
For the year to date so far (Jan - June 25), capacity is 3.2% ahead of the same months in 2024.
\n
Spain-UK is the top country pair in terms of summer capacity.
\n
\n
\n
Tariff impacts
\n
Next, the panel discussed one of the key topics of this month's webinar - tariffs - and began by examining the latest US visitor statistics, which had been published at the end of the previous week. (Preliminary, so subject to change).
\n
\n
The results show a fall in arrivals from the Top 20 countries, with big reductions from Germany, France, the Netherlands, South Korea, and Ecuador.
\n
This time last year (May 2024), year-on-year growth for the top 20 visitor markets was +12.4%, with strong growth from all of the above countries.
\n
Year-to-date position shows that 11 of the Top 20 markets are flat or contracting.
\n
\n
\n
\n
Oliver gave his thoughts on how much impact tariffs and evolving tariff policies will have on consumers' travel decisions:
\n
\n
Geopolitics and aviation
\n
In the last two months alone the industry has been impacted by a number of geopolitical events, including the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran which resulted in the closure of airspace in a number of neighbouring countries.
\n
Whilst the industry navigates unpredictable events such as short-notice airspace closures, and makes decisions about whether to fly to areas where conflict may escalate, what is the lasting impact on consumer sentiment and decisions to fly?
\n
\n
TOURISM TARGETS
\n
With 5 years to go until the end of the decade, a flurry of new 2030 tourism targets have been announced this year. The panel gave their thoughts:
\n
\n
What next?
\n
Having just spent 7 years leading the research team at Visit Florida, Jacob gave an insightful round-up to summarise the panel discussion:

\n
Next, the panel discussed one of the key topics of this month's webinar - tariffs - and began by examining the latest US visitor statistics, which had been published at the end of the previous week. (Preliminary, so subject to change).
\n
\n
The results show a fall in arrivals from the Top 20 countries, with big reductions from Germany, France, the Netherlands, South Korea, and Ecuador.
\n
This time last year (May 2024), year-on-year growth for the top 20 visitor markets was +12.4%, with strong growth from all of the above countries.
\n
Year-to-date position shows that 11 of the Top 20 markets are flat or contracting.
\n
\n
\n
\n
Oliver gave his thoughts on how much impact tariffs and evolving tariff policies will have on consumers' travel decisions:
\n
\n
Geopolitics and aviation
\n
In the last two months alone the industry has been impacted by a number of geopolitical events, including the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran which resulted in the closure of airspace in a number of neighbouring countries.
\n
Whilst the industry navigates unpredictable events such as short-notice airspace closures, and makes decisions about whether to fly to areas where conflict may escalate, what is the lasting impact on consumer sentiment and decisions to fly?
\n
\n
TOURISM TARGETS
\n
With 5 years to go until the end of the decade, a flurry of new 2030 tourism targets have been announced this year. The panel gave their thoughts:
\n
\n
What next?
\n
Having just spent 7 years leading the research team at Visit Florida, Jacob gave an insightful round-up to summarise the panel discussion:
For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Oliver Martin (Senior Director, Skift Inc) and Jacob Pewitt Yancey (Head of Analytics, Arrivalist) to dive into the latest global tourism trends.

The live panel discussed:
\n
\n
Are tourism patterns changing? Where is everyone going this year?
\n
What impact, if any, might tariffs be having on tourism?
\n
With a flurry of new 2030 tourism targets being announced this year, where will we all be going in the next 5 years?
\n
\n\n
A look at growth trends
\n
The panel began by starting at the top and looking at global growth trends:
\n
\n
Capacity for this summer is expected to be 3.2% ahead of 2024.
\n
For the year to date so far (Jan - June 25), capacity is 3.2% ahead of the same months in 2024.
\n

Another year, another look at on-time performance for the world's airlines and airports and 2019's edition makes for some very interesting analysis, especially as sitting on top of this year's league is a brand new winner in airline punctuality.
\n
Dethroning 3-time winner airBaltic was no easy task, but in 2018, Copa Airlines topped the ranking as the most punctual airline in the world with OTP of 89.79%, becoming the first-ever Latin American winner of the League.
\n
In fact, it's been a brilliant year for South America as LATAM Airlines Group came first in our Mega Airlines category with on-time performance of 85.60%, climbing a remarkable seven places and knocking Japan Airlines off top-spot. The success follows in our Medium Airports category as Panama City climbs from 3rd to 1st.
\n
We also welcome five new entrants in the Small Airports category, with Minsk going on to claim first place, but it is Japan which continues its excellent standards by winning the Large Airport and Mega Airport categories with Osaka and Tokyo Haneda respectively holding onto the top spots.
\n
With so many airlines and airports anticipating this report, it's no wonder the Punctuality League is being recognised as the world's definitive measurement of on-time performance.
