Objectively, capacity discipline is good for airlines and allows those that are well managed to drive profitability, which has to be good for the whole industry. With signs of some improvement on aircraft deliveries, careful capacity growth will be important for the rest of 2025 and into next year.
\n
Airline Profitability
\n
For many years, airline profitability was cyclical in nature and for most was just something to dream about. However, recently airlines - and indeed many parts of the ecosystem - have become consistently profitable, which is necessary to support future investments - be that new aircraft, environmental improvements or more tailored service offerings. However, what we have noticed is wealthier airlines growing richer, while others continue to struggle.
\n
\n
United Airlines, IAG, Delta Air Lines,Emirates,Ryanair and other household brands increase their margins, while many scheduled airlines are at best marginal performers and in many cases incurring losses.
\n
Justifying a loss-making airline as serving a national interest is a much-repeated story, but in today’s world seems unjustifiable for taxpayers.
\n
\n
While it seems that everyone is expecting a slowdown in the global economy, the first half of the year appears to have been better than many anticipated.
\n
\n
IATA’s latest predictions for the year are for net profits of US$36 billion and a net profit margin of 3.7% - which still does seem ridiculously low for such a capital-intensive industry.
\n
Passenger revenues are expected to soften against the high-tide mark of 2024 as a little more competition comes to the market, although at the same time average load factors are expected to rise to 84% - so just hope that when travelling you are one of the lucky 16 with an empty seat beside you!
\n
\n
When evaluating airline profitability, it’s important to look at the industry as a whole, and industry-wide the expected margins for 2025 are no better than interest on a savings account. Obviously, congratulations to the small percentage of well-managed and very profitable airlines but they are indeed a small percentage of all airlines operating. As many of us in the industry have been saying for years, much work must be done to drag the poorest performers forward.
\n
\n
Geopolitical Influences
\n
With ongoing tensions in various regions and the market vulnerable to political power plays, the whole aviation sector craves political stability and a calm market where politics are not considered a risk to operations and revenues. It seems, however, that there will always be external influences, and very rarely do they have a positive impact on the industry - but at some point surely things will change for the better?
\n
The Supply Side Challenges
\n
It seems that every part of the aviation industry is impacted by the supply of required resources.
\n
The supply of new seats, galleys and even overhead storage bins are all delaying the introduction of new aircraft, but perhaps the most important supply chain shortage is the lack of human resources; as skilled pilots, engineers and management leave the industry, resulting in a skills shortage. Overlay that challenge with new airline start-ups offering extremely attractive expatriate packages to buy in the required expertise, and there is a growing crisis which cannot be filled without years of training and on-the-job experience. With shortages of ATC controllers in both Europe and North America the pressures on the industry are very real and are not going to disappear before the end of the decade at the very earliest.
\n
Supply issues also extend into available capacity, especially at some major airports around the world. While airports such as Singapore Changi are already in their next development phase, in Europe capacity constraints remain in many airports as a combination of physical and environmental restrictions limit future growth. And while those constraints are great for those airlines with dominant shares of capacity, it does limit competition and growth from new airlines. Whether the third runway at Heathrow will ever be built remains an open question heading into the second half of the year, and even a definite “yes” will see no new capacity before 2035 at the earliest.
\n
\n
\n
\n
The Global Economy
\n
The global economy is expected to slow down through the rest of the year, with IATA predicting global GDP to fall to 2.5% compared to the 3.3% of 2024. There are already signs of a softening in demand across some markets, although how much of that is economic conditions or changing consumer sentiment towards certain markets is unclear.
\n
Despite the expectations of an economic slowdown, traffic appears to be growing in many markets.
\n
\n
The European market is robust this summer, and the Middle East market, with its mix of local and connecting demand, continues to perform strongly.
\n
The Latin American market also appears to be resilient to economic factors now.
\n
US domestic demand does look to have softened, and some capacity trimming has taken place with the ultra-low-cost carriers (ULCCs) feeling the brunt of that market slowdown.
\n
\n
For many airlines, the industry is based around the US dollar, and a weakening of the dollar is good news for all airlines. With the price of oil having been well below last year’s levels (though watch this space), the combination of these two factors provides a significant cost saving for airlines, just as demand may be slipping slightly. Significant cost savings flow straight through to the bottom line and will likely continue through the rest of the year.
\n
Experience suggests that airlines can stimulate demand in times of an economic slowdown using price as a major part of their marketing activity. Adjustments in capacity can also be expected, with seasonal service perhaps being dropped earlier and premium capacity switched to stronger markets. While the global economy may slow down in the second half of the year, quarter three is the peak period, and we anticipate demand being stronger than some expect, and that will extend into the shoulder months of September and October. That just leaves two months of possible demand uncertainty.
\n
In conclusion, at the half way stage of the year - despite all the challenges that the industry has faced - we believe that the market has probably performed better than anyone had expected at the beginning of January this year. Cost savings are currently offsetting any softening of demand and lower airfares. While the second half of the year will inevitably see some surprises, it feels as though the industry is well placed to handle any tremors in the global marketplace, and if 2025 is going to be as good as we expect despite the challenges, just how good could 2026 be?
It’s somehow always surprising to reach the mid-point of the year, but we are nearly halfway through 2025. As always, the aviation industry has been moving forward in many ways, so it seems appropriate at “half-term” in 2025 to review progress and perhaps speculate on what’s on the horizon for the aviation industry in the second half of the year.
\n
Capacity Discipline Continues
\n
Although many airlines are frustrated by supply chain challenges - which we will look at in more detail later - simple economics show that restricted supply leads to higher load factors, higher airfares and ultimately profitability for some.
\n
Scheduled airline capacity this year is expected to have grown by 1.6% compared to last year and by 4.0% versus 2019.
\n
Naturally there are some markets where growth has been strong in the last few years:
\n
\n
South Asia, and specifically India, have raced ahead of many markets this year, with carriers such as IndiGo and Air India expanding their international networks.
\n
Meanwhile, in Africa, the growth in popularity of markets such as Morocco and Egypt has led to a 10% increase in capacity compared to 2019.
\n
More mature, developed markets such as North America and Europe have settled back into their normal rates of growth.
\n
Latin America has seen a period of strong capacity growth, driven by the low-cost airlines which were particularly badly hit by supply chain issues in the last two years.
\n
\n
However, some regions like Southeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific are still facing difficulties in their capacity recovery, and markets such as Indonesia continue to be challenged by supply side issues and weak demand.
\n
\n
Objectively, capacity discipline is good for airlines and allows those that are well managed to drive profitability, which has to be good for the whole industry. With signs of some improvement on aircraft deliveries, careful capacity growth will be important for the rest of 2025 and into next year.

For many years, airline profitability was cyclical in nature and for most was just something to dream about. However, recently airlines - and indeed many parts of the ecosystem - have become consistently profitable, which is necessary to support future investments - be that new aircraft, environmental improvements or more tailored service offerings. However, what we have noticed is wealthier airlines growing richer, while others continue to struggle.
\n
\n
United Airlines, IAG, Delta Air Lines,Emirates,Ryanair and other household brands increase their margins, while many scheduled airlines are at best marginal performers and in many cases incurring losses.
\n
Justifying a loss-making airline as serving a national interest is a much-repeated story, but in today’s world seems unjustifiable for taxpayers.
\n
\n
While it seems that everyone is expecting a slowdown in the global economy, the first half of the year appears to have been better than many anticipated.
\n
\n
IATA’s latest predictions for the year are for net profits of US$36 billion and a net profit margin of 3.7% - which still does seem ridiculously low for such a capital-intensive industry.
\n
Passenger revenues are expected to soften against the high-tide mark of 2024 as a little more competition comes to the market, although at the same time average load factors are expected to rise to 84% - so just hope that when travelling you are one of the lucky 16 with an empty seat beside you!
\n
\n
When evaluating airline profitability, it’s important to look at the industry as a whole, and industry-wide the expected margins for 2025 are no better than interest on a savings account. Obviously, congratulations to the small percentage of well-managed and very profitable airlines but they are indeed a small percentage of all airlines operating. As many of us in the industry have been saying for years, much work must be done to drag the poorest performers forward.
\n
\n
Geopolitical Influences
\n
With ongoing tensions in various regions and the market vulnerable to political power plays, the whole aviation sector craves political stability and a calm market where politics are not considered a risk to operations and revenues. It seems, however, that there will always be external influences, and very rarely do they have a positive impact on the industry - but at some point surely things will change for the better?
\n
The Supply Side Challenges
\n
It seems that every part of the aviation industry is impacted by the supply of required resources.
\n
The supply of new seats, galleys and even overhead storage bins are all delaying the introduction of new aircraft, but perhaps the most important supply chain shortage is the lack of human resources; as skilled pilots, engineers and management leave the industry, resulting in a skills shortage. Overlay that challenge with new airline start-ups offering extremely attractive expatriate packages to buy in the required expertise, and there is a growing crisis which cannot be filled without years of training and on-the-job experience. With shortages of ATC controllers in both Europe and North America the pressures on the industry are very real and are not going to disappear before the end of the decade at the very earliest.
\n
Supply issues also extend into available capacity, especially at some major airports around the world. While airports such as Singapore Changi are already in their next development phase, in Europe capacity constraints remain in many airports as a combination of physical and environmental restrictions limit future growth. And while those constraints are great for those airlines with dominant shares of capacity, it does limit competition and growth from new airlines. Whether the third runway at Heathrow will ever be built remains an open question heading into the second half of the year, and even a definite “yes” will see no new capacity before 2035 at the earliest.
\n
\n
\n
\n
The Global Economy
\n
The global economy is expected to slow down through the rest of the year, with IATA predicting global GDP to fall to 2.5% compared to the 3.3% of 2024. There are already signs of a softening in demand across some markets, although how much of that is economic conditions or changing consumer sentiment towards certain markets is unclear.
\n
Despite the expectations of an economic slowdown, traffic appears to be growing in many markets.
\n
\n
The European market is robust this summer, and the Middle East market, with its mix of local and connecting demand, continues to perform strongly.
\n
The Latin American market also appears to be resilient to economic factors now.
\n
US domestic demand does look to have softened, and some capacity trimming has taken place with the ultra-low-cost carriers (ULCCs) feeling the brunt of that market slowdown.
\n
\n
For many airlines, the industry is based around the US dollar, and a weakening of the dollar is good news for all airlines. With the price of oil having been well below last year’s levels (though watch this space), the combination of these two factors provides a significant cost saving for airlines, just as demand may be slipping slightly. Significant cost savings flow straight through to the bottom line and will likely continue through the rest of the year.
\n
Experience suggests that airlines can stimulate demand in times of an economic slowdown using price as a major part of their marketing activity. Adjustments in capacity can also be expected, with seasonal service perhaps being dropped earlier and premium capacity switched to stronger markets. While the global economy may slow down in the second half of the year, quarter three is the peak period, and we anticipate demand being stronger than some expect, and that will extend into the shoulder months of September and October. That just leaves two months of possible demand uncertainty.
\n
In conclusion, at the half way stage of the year - despite all the challenges that the industry has faced - we believe that the market has probably performed better than anyone had expected at the beginning of January this year. Cost savings are currently offsetting any softening of demand and lower airfares. While the second half of the year will inevitably see some surprises, it feels as though the industry is well placed to handle any tremors in the global marketplace, and if 2025 is going to be as good as we expect despite the challenges, just how good could 2026 be?

\n\n
It’s somehow always surprising to reach the mid-point of the year, but we are nearly halfway through 2025. As always, the aviation industry has been moving forward in many ways, so it seems appropriate at “half-term” in 2025 to review progress and perhaps speculate on what’s on the horizon for the aviation industry in the second half of the year.
\n
Capacity Discipline Continues
\n
Although many airlines are frustrated by supply chain challenges - which we will look at in more detail later - simple economics show that restricted supply leads to higher load factors, higher airfares and ultimately profitability for some.
\n
Scheduled airline capacity this year is expected to have grown by 1.6% compared to last year and by 4.0% versus 2019.
\n
Naturally there are some markets where growth has been strong in the last few years:
\n
\n
South Asia, and specifically India, have raced ahead of many markets this year, with carriers such as IndiGo and Air India expanding their international networks.
\n
Meanwhile, in Africa, the growth in popularity of markets such as Morocco and Egypt has led to a 10% increase in capacity compared to 2019.
\n
More mature, developed markets such as North America and Europe have settled back into their normal rates of growth.
\n
Latin America has seen a period of strong capacity growth, driven by the low-cost airlines which were particularly badly hit by supply chain issues in the last two years.
\n
\n
However, some regions like Southeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific are still facing difficulties in their capacity recovery, and markets such as Indonesia continue to be challenged by supply side issues and weak demand.
\n
\n
Objectively, capacity discipline is good for airlines and allows those that are well managed to drive profitability, which has to be good for the whole industry. With signs of some improvement on aircraft deliveries, careful capacity growth will be important for the rest of 2025 and into next year.

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:

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?

The aviation industry can be the most unforgiving at times. Wafer thin margins on a capital-intensive industry, external factors always snapping away, fickle consumer demand and powerful competition makes for a tough environment that only a select few can withstand. Clever marketing, network coverage, strategic partnerships, brand loyalty and great products are all created to give airlines a competitive edge. While some achieve success, others get caught in “no man’s land”, struggling to break out of what appears to be a circle of ever-increasing issues. It feels like JetBlue may be in just that position.
\n\n
An Innovative Start-Up
\n
JetBlue launched in February 2000 as a fresh, exciting low-cost airline offering service levels that competed with the major US legacy airlines. They quickly earned a reputation for great service and being different in a tired market. Admired by many, the airline grew rapidly (as the chart below shows) offering 44.5 million seats in the peak years of 2019 and 2023 before capacity cuts in recent years have eased capacity back to just over 40 million seats in 2025.
\n
\n
JetBlue has always been a market ‘challenger’, offering value adds and pioneering in-flight services, all while being perceived as a value-for-money carrier. And, unlike other low-cost airlines, JetBlue evolved into a more hybrid model over time. Key developments in this evolution included:
\n
\n
Introduction of Mint – a business class product
\n
Securing codeshares and full interline partnerships
\n
Launch of ’JetBlue True Blue’ frequent traveller programme
\n
Implementation of a co-branded credit card programme
\n
\n
Each of these additions gradually pulled the airline further away from its roots, adding costs and complexity to the business.
\n
Reflective of the direction of travel for JetBlue is a financial performance that continues to worry analysts, with the 2024 results showing significant deterioration compared to the previous year. And with concerns already expressed by the CEO regarding 2025’s results, while other airlines are making money, JetBlue can’t quite make it happen.
\n
\n
A Network of Intense Competition
\n
The US domestic market is one of the fiercest, making survival particularly challenging. Both network breadth and market size can be crucial, although operating a large network of routes with low average frequency can lead to too much fragmentation; it really is a fine balancing act. The network maps below show how much capacity JetBlue has placed in each state this year.
\n
\n
\n
For JetBlue, some 60% of its capacity is allocated to New York and Florida, with the airline operating a network heavily skewed towards the East Coast. The significant reliance on these two states makes for a challenging market, as all major legacy and low-cost carriers are competing for every passenger in these key markets.
\n
The second capacity map shows that other very large markets such as California and Texas are now relatively small parts of the JetBlue network with 5% of JetBlue’s capacity allocated to California and Texas - a virtually unserved state with less than 200,000 seats allocated for 2025. In 2017, JetBlue operated some five million seats from California, equating to nearly 12% of the airline’s capacity with 23 routes dropped in the last two years, including Las Vegas – Long Beach and Long Beach – Oakland. JetBlue made significant capacity cutbacks from the California market citing the unprofitable network, however consolidation back to the East Coast has yet to secure a return on performance in the domestic market to date.
\n
Part of the change in domestic structure from JetBlue was to support expansion into international markets, with 21% of capacity in 2025 allocated to such routes compared to 14% in 2017. Services from the East Coast to the Caribbean are important contributors to the network, but services to markets such as London, Paris, Amsterdam and Vancouver are probably still marginal on a year-round basis given the degree of competition. Taking the London Heathrow – New York market as an example, JetBlue will have a 4% share of all capacity making it the smallest operator in the market where they compete against all three airline alliances and their respective joint venture operations; making such a position profitable is tough.
\n
\n
A Mixed Operating Fleet Isn’t a Low-Cost Norm
\n
One of the first ingredients to a successful low-cost airline is a common operating fleet; the simplicity of the fleet equates to the lowest possible operating costs. JetBlue’s mixed fleet network began in 2005 when the first of their Embraers arrived and today some 24 of those are reported as inactive with the airline. Today, the airline operates a three-fleet programme consisting of approx. 220 A320s, 45 A220s and 12 ERJ170s. While perhaps “right sizing” capacity to market size adds a level of complexity to the operation, forcing the carrier to carry more cost than is perhaps ideal for the way the market is heading.
\n
The combination of all these factors strategically places JetBlue in probably a unique position in the US market, and in a softening market that position may not be the most desirable from which to rebuild profitability.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Avoid The “Hybrid” Space at All Costs
\n
For JetBlue each of those individual product elements may not seem significant, but roll them all up into one and the airline has entered the mid-market world between the low-cost and legacy carriers; a space that is both difficult to defend from the LCC competition and difficult to compete with the full-service carriers. Once popular, the term hybrid is increasingly code for not being sure what we are or what we do. JetBlue is at risk, or indeed may have already fallen into what feels like the black hole of a mid-market position where they are neither a legacy carrier with its attendant strengths or a low-cost carrier with an obsession on costs.
\n
Falling into such a space is not new in the airline industry and many others have been there and continue to operate, while others have sadly failed or been acquired by larger operators able to drag them out of that position through radical reorganisation. Unfortunately for JetBlue, many of those that continue to operate in this space are state-owned entities regularly supported by additional funding from their governments, whereas JetBlue is, of course, driven by creating shareholder value with additional funding harder to secure.
\n
Where Next for JetBlue?
\n
No one likes to see an airline struggling, especially when it has built such a strong brand with a lot of consumer loyalty. Equally, there are few industries as tough as the aviation sector and while new strategic partnerships may provide some hope, the reality is that a radical re-position and move in one direction or other is probably what’s required for the airline to work its way through the current challenges. And even then, aligning that repositioning to a rapidly changing domestic market will need to carry the support of those loyal JetBlue passengers who have used the airline for years.
\n
I for one hope JetBlue make it; they’ve always been on-time and offered great service and value when I’ve used them, and hopefully that will be the case in the coming years in whatever shape or form they operate.

Avoid The “Hybrid” Space at All Costs
\n
For JetBlue each of those individual product elements may not seem significant, but roll them all up into one and the airline has entered the mid-market world between the low-cost and legacy carriers; a space that is both difficult to defend from the LCC competition and difficult to compete with the full-service carriers. Once popular, the term hybrid is increasingly code for not being sure what we are or what we do. JetBlue is at risk, or indeed may have already fallen into what feels like the black hole of a mid-market position where they are neither a legacy carrier with its attendant strengths or a low-cost carrier with an obsession on costs.
\n
Falling into such a space is not new in the airline industry and many others have been there and continue to operate, while others have sadly failed or been acquired by larger operators able to drag them out of that position through radical reorganisation. Unfortunately for JetBlue, many of those that continue to operate in this space are state-owned entities regularly supported by additional funding from their governments, whereas JetBlue is, of course, driven by creating shareholder value with additional funding harder to secure.

Reflective of the direction of travel for JetBlue is a financial performance that continues to worry analysts, with the 2024 results showing significant deterioration compared to the previous year. And with concerns already expressed by the CEO regarding 2025’s results, while other airlines are making money, JetBlue can’t quite make it happen.
\n
\n
A Network of Intense Competition
\n
The US domestic market is one of the fiercest, making survival particularly challenging. Both network breadth and market size can be crucial, although operating a large network of routes with low average frequency can lead to too much fragmentation; it really is a fine balancing act. The network maps below show how much capacity JetBlue has placed in each state this year.
\n
\n
\n
For JetBlue, some 60% of its capacity is allocated to New York and Florida, with the airline operating a network heavily skewed towards the East Coast. The significant reliance on these two states makes for a challenging market, as all major legacy and low-cost carriers are competing for every passenger in these key markets.
\n
The second capacity map shows that other very large markets such as California and Texas are now relatively small parts of the JetBlue network with 5% of JetBlue’s capacity allocated to California and Texas - a virtually unserved state with less than 200,000 seats allocated for 2025. In 2017, JetBlue operated some five million seats from California, equating to nearly 12% of the airline’s capacity with 23 routes dropped in the last two years, including Las Vegas – Long Beach and Long Beach – Oakland. JetBlue made significant capacity cutbacks from the California market citing the unprofitable network, however consolidation back to the East Coast has yet to secure a return on performance in the domestic market to date.
\n
Part of the change in domestic structure from JetBlue was to support expansion into international markets, with 21% of capacity in 2025 allocated to such routes compared to 14% in 2017. Services from the East Coast to the Caribbean are important contributors to the network, but services to markets such as London, Paris, Amsterdam and Vancouver are probably still marginal on a year-round basis given the degree of competition. Taking the London Heathrow – New York market as an example, JetBlue will have a 4% share of all capacity making it the smallest operator in the market where they compete against all three airline alliances and their respective joint venture operations; making such a position profitable is tough.
\n
\n
A Mixed Operating Fleet Isn’t a Low-Cost Norm
\n
One of the first ingredients to a successful low-cost airline is a common operating fleet; the simplicity of the fleet equates to the lowest possible operating costs. JetBlue’s mixed fleet network began in 2005 when the first of their Embraers arrived and today some 24 of those are reported as inactive with the airline. Today, the airline operates a three-fleet programme consisting of approx. 220 A320s, 45 A220s and 12 ERJ170s. While perhaps “right sizing” capacity to market size adds a level of complexity to the operation, forcing the carrier to carry more cost than is perhaps ideal for the way the market is heading.
\n
The combination of all these factors strategically places JetBlue in probably a unique position in the US market, and in a softening market that position may not be the most desirable from which to rebuild profitability.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Avoid The “Hybrid” Space at All Costs
\n
For JetBlue each of those individual product elements may not seem significant, but roll them all up into one and the airline has entered the mid-market world between the low-cost and legacy carriers; a space that is both difficult to defend from the LCC competition and difficult to compete with the full-service carriers. Once popular, the term hybrid is increasingly code for not being sure what we are or what we do. JetBlue is at risk, or indeed may have already fallen into what feels like the black hole of a mid-market position where they are neither a legacy carrier with its attendant strengths or a low-cost carrier with an obsession on costs.
\n
Falling into such a space is not new in the airline industry and many others have been there and continue to operate, while others have sadly failed or been acquired by larger operators able to drag them out of that position through radical reorganisation. Unfortunately for JetBlue, many of those that continue to operate in this space are state-owned entities regularly supported by additional funding from their governments, whereas JetBlue is, of course, driven by creating shareholder value with additional funding harder to secure.
\n
Where Next for JetBlue?
\n
No one likes to see an airline struggling, especially when it has built such a strong brand with a lot of consumer loyalty. Equally, there are few industries as tough as the aviation sector and while new strategic partnerships may provide some hope, the reality is that a radical re-position and move in one direction or other is probably what’s required for the airline to work its way through the current challenges. And even then, aligning that repositioning to a rapidly changing domestic market will need to carry the support of those loyal JetBlue passengers who have used the airline for years.
\n
I for one hope JetBlue make it; they’ve always been on-time and offered great service and value when I’ve used them, and hopefully that will be the case in the coming years in whatever shape or form they operate.

The aviation industry can be the most unforgiving at times. Wafer thin margins on a capital-intensive industry, external factors always snapping away, fickle consumer demand and powerful competition makes for a tough environment that only a select few can withstand. Clever marketing, network coverage, strategic partnerships, brand loyalty and great products are all created to give airlines a competitive edge. While some achieve success, others get caught in “no man’s land”, struggling to break out of what appears to be a circle of ever-increasing issues. It feels like JetBlue may be in just that position.

\n\n
An Innovative Start-Up
\n
JetBlue launched in February 2000 as a fresh, exciting low-cost airline offering service levels that competed with the major US legacy airlines. They quickly earned a reputation for great service and being different in a tired market. Admired by many, the airline grew rapidly (as the chart below shows) offering 44.5 million seats in the peak years of 2019 and 2023 before capacity cuts in recent years have eased capacity back to just over 40 million seats in 2025.
\n
\n
JetBlue has always been a market ‘challenger’, offering value adds and pioneering in-flight services, all while being perceived as a value-for-money carrier. And, unlike other low-cost airlines, JetBlue evolved into a more hybrid model over time. Key developments in this evolution included:
\n
\n
Introduction of Mint – a business class product
\n
Securing codeshares and full interline partnerships
\n
Launch of ’JetBlue True Blue’ frequent traveller programme
\n
Implementation of a co-branded credit card programme
\n
\n
Each of these additions gradually pulled the airline further away from its roots, adding costs and complexity to the business.
\n
Reflective of the direction of travel for JetBlue is a financial performance that continues to worry analysts, with the 2024 results showing significant deterioration compared to the previous year. And with concerns already expressed by the CEO regarding 2025’s results, while other airlines are making money, JetBlue can’t quite make it happen.

\n\n
Airports are extremely expensive to operate, and while every airport around the world has its peak hours of operation - there are equally as many hours of the day when many are like ghost towns, as they await their next flights and passengers. Even for airports such as Dubai and Atlanta that serve as major hubs connecting travellers across the globe, there are moments of relative calm. For smaller regional airports these quiet moments can be quite pronounced.
\n
Ultimately, airports are assets and like any asset maximising its utilisation is crucial. This means filling those quiet moments of the day becomes crucial for every airport planning team. To highlight how that can be done we’ve focused on one airport that has been particularly successful in recent times and all on one runway: London Gatwick (LGW).
\n
London Gatwick is widely regarded as having the busiest single runway in the world, although with a planning application likely to be approved that may change in the next decade. In 2024 the airport handled 43.2 million passengers and some 262,000 movements, a far cry from the 26.8 million handled in 2000 - significant growth achieved without any new runway or terminal expansion.
\n
The chart below shows the number of scheduled flights departing each hour for the busiest day of those years between 05:00 and 23:00. Each line shows the growth in departures driven by new airlines operating at the airport and existing airlines such as easyJet, Wizzair and British Airways launching new routes and bases. Not surprisingly, the peak departure hour of 06:00 has seen the largest growth from just 5 departures to Tenerife, Brussels, Faro, Edinburgh and Paris in 2000 to 36 this year - with easyJet alone planning 27 departures. In total there are 439 scheduled departures on the busiest day compared to 301 departures in 2000, an impressive 45% growth in scheduled movements.
\n
Intriguingly the peak hour for departures in 2000 was 11:00 with 28, in 2025 that hour now has less departures with 22, although in the same hour arrivals have increased by nearly 40% so actual usage of the runway has increased to 47 movements in the hour.
\n
\n \n
With arrivals permitted throughout the day - although restricted late at night and early in the morning - the growth pattern is slightly different from that of departures. Reflective of Gatwick increasingly serving the local outbound demand the 39 arrivals between 05:00 and 08:00 this year are considerably below the 67 of 2000 when the airport was still a major arrival point for flights from the United States with services from Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Charlotte among the markets served.
\n
The increasing local market position of Gatwick is also reflected in what were two of the quietest late hours of the day (22:00 & 23:00) when only four flights were scheduled to arrive in 2000, now handle 59 services, much to the pleasure of the handlers meeting those flights and clearing the baggage!
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
London Gatwick’s busiest scheduled hour of the day this year will be 13:00 when 54 flights are planned, which is very similar to the 12:00 peak in 2000. However, the departing and arriving points of those flights are very different to twenty-five years ago with a greater focus on European markets.
\n
As a case study in maximising asset utilisation London Gatwick has done a great job in filling in the gaps and maximising their passenger throughput and of course revenues while at the same time firmly reaching a point where no more flights can be handled; after all, 54 in one hour is impressive on a single runway by any measure. Every airport in the world strives to replicate the growth and success that Gatwick has seen and that is precisely why airport CEOs are always reminding their commercial teams to “mind the gap”.

As a case study in maximising asset utilisation London Gatwick has done a great job in filling in the gaps and maximising their passenger throughput and of course revenues while at the same time firmly reaching a point where no more flights can be handled; after all, 54 in one hour is impressive on a single runway by any measure. Every airport in the world strives to replicate the growth and success that Gatwick has seen and that is precisely why airport CEOs are always reminding their commercial teams to “mind the gap”.

Airports are extremely expensive to operate, and while every airport around the world has its peak hours of operation - there are equally as many hours of the day when many are like ghost towns, as they await their next flights and passengers. Even for airports such as Dubai and Atlanta that serve as major hubs connecting travellers across the globe, there are moments of relative calm. For smaller regional airports these quiet moments can be quite pronounced.
\n
Ultimately, airports are assets and like any asset maximising its utilisation is crucial. This means filling those quiet moments of the day becomes crucial for every airport planning team. To highlight how that can be done we’ve focused on one airport that has been particularly successful in recent times and all on one runway: London Gatwick (LGW).
\n
London Gatwick is widely regarded as having the busiest single runway in the world, although with a planning application likely to be approved that may change in the next decade. In 2024 the airport handled 43.2 million passengers and some 262,000 movements, a far cry from the 26.8 million handled in 2000 - significant growth achieved without any new runway or terminal expansion.
\n
The chart below shows the number of scheduled flights departing each hour for the busiest day of those years between 05:00 and 23:00. Each line shows the growth in departures driven by new airlines operating at the airport and existing airlines such as easyJet, Wizzair and British Airways launching new routes and bases. Not surprisingly, the peak departure hour of 06:00 has seen the largest growth from just 5 departures to Tenerife, Brussels, Faro, Edinburgh and Paris in 2000 to 36 this year - with easyJet alone planning 27 departures. In total there are 439 scheduled departures on the busiest day compared to 301 departures in 2000, an impressive 45% growth in scheduled movements.
\n
Intriguingly the peak hour for departures in 2000 was 11:00 with 28, in 2025 that hour now has less departures with 22, although in the same hour arrivals have increased by nearly 40% so actual usage of the runway has increased to 47 movements in the hour.
\n
\n \n
With arrivals permitted throughout the day - although restricted late at night and early in the morning - the growth pattern is slightly different from that of departures. Reflective of Gatwick increasingly serving the local outbound demand the 39 arrivals between 05:00 and 08:00 this year are considerably below the 67 of 2000 when the airport was still a major arrival point for flights from the United States with services from Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Charlotte among the markets served.
\n
The increasing local market position of Gatwick is also reflected in what were two of the quietest late hours of the day (22:00 & 23:00) when only four flights were scheduled to arrive in 2000, now handle 59 services, much to the pleasure of the handlers meeting those flights and clearing the baggage!
\n

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Siddharth Narkhede, Head of Airline Analysis at Ishka, to investigate the current operating environment for airlines.
\n\n
The live panel discussed:
\n
\n
With some recent big orders, how are airline fleets evolving? Who is leading in terms of growth, and where?
\n
How will future orders shape global fleets going forward?
\n
Can airlines accurately forecast demand in the current era of tariffs and geopolitical turmoil?
\n
Is lack of investment in infrastructure holding airlines back?
\n
\n\n
A look at growth trends
\n
As usual, the panel began by starting at the top and looking at global growth trends before moving on to this month's subject matter:
\n
\n
The data shows capacity for this summer is expected to be 3.1% ahead of 2024.
\n
For the year to date so far (January - May 2025), capacity is 3.3% ahead of the same months in 2024.
\n
\n
\n
It's a narrowbody world
\n
Next, the panel examined the current composition of capacity from an aircraft group type perspective, grouping current operations into five categories.
\n
\n
Looking at a snapshot of how it breaks down in percentage terms, narrowbodies were almost 70% in 2015, they're now 76% of the market. So while some of the big orders recently have been for widebodies, it's a narrowbody world in terms of how people are travelling.
\n
\n
\n
How will today's orders shape tomorrow's fleets?
\n
Next, the panel looked forward to analyse what is on order as of now, across the same fleet categories:
\n
\n
Asia has the largest fleet currently, accounting for a third of all aircraft. It also has the youngest fleet, with an average aircraft age of 12 years, meaning that more of the aircraft on order will facilitate growth rather than fleet replacement.
\n
For North America and Oceania, many more of the aircraft on order will be for replacement.
\n
\n
\n
Infrastructure bottlenecks
\n
Next, the panel discussed some of the key infrastructure investment challenges emerging, citing ATC as a key example:

With some recent big orders, how are airline fleets evolving? Who is leading in terms of growth, and where?
\n
How will future orders shape global fleets going forward?
\n
Can airlines accurately forecast demand in the current era of tariffs and geopolitical turmoil?
\n
Is lack of investment in infrastructure holding airlines back?
\n
\n\n
A look at growth trends
\n
As usual, the panel began by starting at the top and looking at global growth trends before moving on to this month's subject matter:
\n
\n
The data shows capacity for this summer is expected to be 3.1% ahead of 2024.
\n
For the year to date so far (January - May 2025), capacity is 3.3% ahead of the same months in 2024.
\n
\n
\n
It's a narrowbody world
\n
Next, the panel examined the current composition of capacity from an aircraft group type perspective, grouping current operations into five categories.
\n
\n
Looking at a snapshot of how it breaks down in percentage terms, narrowbodies were almost 70% in 2015, they're now 76% of the market. So while some of the big orders recently have been for widebodies, it's a narrowbody world in terms of how people are travelling.
\n
\n
\n
How will today's orders shape tomorrow's fleets?
\n
Next, the panel looked forward to analyse what is on order as of now, across the same fleet categories:
\n
\n
Asia has the largest fleet currently, accounting for a third of all aircraft. It also has the youngest fleet, with an average aircraft age of 12 years, meaning that more of the aircraft on order will facilitate growth rather than fleet replacement.
\n
For North America and Oceania, many more of the aircraft on order will be for replacement.
\n
\n
\n
Infrastructure bottlenecks
\n
Next, the panel discussed some of the key infrastructure investment challenges emerging, citing ATC as a key example:

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Ogaga Udjo, MD of ZA Logics, to take a deep dive into Africa's aviation landscape.
\n\n
The live panel discussed:
\n
\n
Growth trends - what are the fastest growing markets on the continent?
\n
Airline business models - do those that work elsewhere work for Africa?
\n
What opportunities and challenges lie ahead?
\n
\n
A Look at Growth Trends
\n
First, the panel discussed global growth trends and Africa's capacity and frequency changes:
\n
\n
Capacity for this summer is expected to be 3.3% ahead of 2024
\n
In Africa domestic growth has contracted but international capacity is up by 3.5%
\n
Looking at total capacity growth in Africa by subregion highlights that growth is happening across the continent with the exception of Central/Western Africa. Southern Africa sees the highest growth rate, with an increase in capacity this summer of 9.6% on last summer
\n
Frequency growth follows a similar trend
\n
\n
Ogaga gave his insights on the global outlook:
\n
\n
exploring the Carrier Landscape
\n
Next, the panel discussed the African carrier landscape. There were some interesting points to explore:
\n
\n
In the last 10 years, Ethiopian has moved up to become Africa’s largest carrier, with 17% of African capacity
\n
SAA, once the largest carrier, is now 11th largest in the continent
\n
8 of the Top 20 largest carriers operating in Africa are domiciled outside of the continent
\n
In April 2015 there were 88 African domiciled carriers and today there are 109, but there are 37 carriers in April 2015 which don’t exist today
\n
\n
\n
Which business model dominates in the continent?
\n
Next, the panel discussed business models:
\n
\n
Africa lags behind the global norm for legacy/LCC capacity shares, where 35% of seats operate on low cost carriers (LCCs). Some regions are considerably higher than that, notably Europe, where 44% of seats operate on LCCs, and Latin America where the comparable share is 40%
\n
The region seeing the fastest degree of LCC penetration is the Middle East where in the last 10 years, LCC shares have grown from 15% to 29%. Africa’s LCC share remains stuck at 16% of all operations, an increase from 9% in 2015. This is largely driven by the growth of European –North Africa services into Morocco
\n
\n
Will LCCs ever take off in Africa? Or is a different model needed for success?

The region seeing the fastest degree of LCC penetration is the Middle East where in the last 10 years, LCC shares have grown from 15% to 29%. Africa’s LCC share remains stuck at 16% of all operations, an increase from 9% in 2015. This is largely driven by the growth of European –North Africa services into Morocco
\n
\n
Will LCCs ever take off in Africa? Or is a different model needed for success?

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Ogaga Udjo, MD of ZA Logics, to take a deep dive into Africa's aviation landscape.
\n\n
The live panel discussed:
\n
\n
Growth trends - what are the fastest growing markets on the continent?
\n
Airline business models - do those that work elsewhere work for Africa?
\n
What opportunities and challenges lie ahead?
\n
\n
A Look at Growth Trends
\n
First, the panel discussed global growth trends and Africa's capacity and frequency changes:
\n
\n
Capacity for this summer is expected to be 3.3% ahead of 2024
\n
In Africa domestic growth has contracted but international capacity is up by 3.5%
\n
Looking at total capacity growth in Africa by subregion highlights that growth is happening across the continent with the exception of Central/Western Africa. Southern Africa sees the highest growth rate, with an increase in capacity this summer of 9.6% on last summer
\n
Frequency growth follows a similar trend
\n
\n
Ogaga gave his insights on the global outlook:
\n
\n
exploring the Carrier Landscape
\n
Next, the panel discussed the African carrier landscape. There were some interesting points to explore:
\n
\n
In the last 10 years, Ethiopian has moved up to become Africa’s largest carrier, with 17% of African capacity
\n
SAA, once the largest carrier, is now 11th largest in the continent
\n
8 of the Top 20 largest carriers operating in Africa are domiciled outside of the continent
\n
In April 2015 there were 88 African domiciled carriers and today there are 109, but there are 37 carriers in April 2015 which don’t exist today
\n
\n
\n
Which business model dominates in the continent?
\n
Next, the panel discussed business models:
\n
\n
Africa lags behind the global norm for legacy/LCC capacity shares, where 35% of seats operate on low cost carriers (LCCs). Some regions are considerably higher than that, notably Europe, where 44% of seats operate on LCCs, and Latin America where the comparable share is 40%
\n
The region seeing the fastest degree of LCC penetration is the Middle East where in the last 10 years, LCC shares have grown from 15% to 29%. Africa’s LCC share remains stuck at 16% of all operations, an increase from 9% in 2015. This is largely driven by the growth of European –North Africa services into Morocco
\n
\n
Will LCCs ever take off in Africa? Or is a different model needed for success?

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Brett Snyder, President of Cranky Flier, to explore Summer 2025 capacity and frequency trends in the US market. The live panel discussed:
\n\n
\n
Capacity trends - is a domestic slowdown coming?
\n
Key international destinations - where is growth expected?
\n
Airline strategies and fleet decisions - how are they impacting growth plans?
\n
\n
WHAT'S THE SUMMER FORECAST FOR THE AVIATION INDUSTRY?
\n
The panel began by exploring global growth trends:
\n
\n
Capacity for this summer is expected to be 2.3% ahead of 2024
\n
For the year to date so far (January to March 2025), capacity is 2.7% ahead of the same months in 2024
\n
Summer capacity is expected to grow fastest in the Latin America and Asia Pacific regions, with increases of 4.6% and 4.3% respectively on Summer 2024
\n
\n
While discussing the data for the summer season, the panel stressed how this is a constantly evolving time for the industry, and that it's going to ultimately be tricky to predict how the market will behave over the coming months, weeks, and even days:
\n
\n
Despite the uncertainty, at this point in the discussion, John asked, \"Brett, you're very in tune with the market. If you had to give a synopsis of what's happening in the first three months of this year and how the next three months look, what would your perspective be of the current state of the aviation industry?\" (A tricky question to ask when, as Brett puts it, we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow!)
\n
\n
US Domestic and International Capacity
\n
The panel then dived into the data for US domestic and international capacity:
\n
\n
Some of the fastest growing cities this summer for domestic capacity are in Florida - Fort Myers, West Palm Beach, and Tampa. There is also strong capacity growth in California, San Francisco and Sacramento
\n
In terms of international capacity, Europe remains the most important market, with the UK the largest
\n
Strongest growth is coming from Italy, Ireland, Turkiye, Greece and Finland - all of which have seen double digit capacity growth this summer
\n
\n
Is Domestic Demand Softening?
\n
As the panel discussed the GDP forecast, the conversation turned to factors that may impact demand in the domestic market, including political and economic factors. To what extent will the cost of living and uncertainty in the US political system impact consumer confidence?

Capacity for this summer is expected to be 2.3% ahead of 2024
\n
For the year to date so far (January to March 2025), capacity is 2.7% ahead of the same months in 2024
\n
Summer capacity is expected to grow fastest in the Latin America and Asia Pacific regions, with increases of 4.6% and 4.3% respectively on Summer 2024
\n
\n
While discussing the data for the summer season, the panel stressed how this is a constantly evolving time for the industry, and that it's going to ultimately be tricky to predict how the market will behave over the coming months, weeks, and even days:
\n
\n
Despite the uncertainty, at this point in the discussion, John asked, \"Brett, you're very in tune with the market. If you had to give a synopsis of what's happening in the first three months of this year and how the next three months look, what would your perspective be of the current state of the aviation industry?\" (A tricky question to ask when, as Brett puts it, we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow!)
\n
\n
US Domestic and International Capacity
\n
The panel then dived into the data for US domestic and international capacity:
\n
\n
Some of the fastest growing cities this summer for domestic capacity are in Florida - Fort Myers, West Palm Beach, and Tampa. There is also strong capacity growth in California, San Francisco and Sacramento
\n
In terms of international capacity, Europe remains the most important market, with the UK the largest
\n
Strongest growth is coming from Italy, Ireland, Turkiye, Greece and Finland - all of which have seen double digit capacity growth this summer
\n
\n
Is Domestic Demand Softening?
\n
As the panel discussed the GDP forecast, the conversation turned to factors that may impact demand in the domestic market, including political and economic factors. To what extent will the cost of living and uncertainty in the US political system impact consumer confidence?

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. There's plenty of hot topics and discussions set to arise from these results, so make sure you're part of the action and download your very own copy using the form at the top of this page.

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. There's plenty of hot topics and discussions set to arise from these results, so make sure you're part of the action and download your very own copy using the form at the top of this page.
