The Compelling Case For Wide-bodied LCCs
\n
Despite such growth, there’s still an appetite for more and the demand for LCC services shows no sign of slowing down. In just one example, one million new workers enter the Indian job market each month and large proportions of those workers are seeking overseas employment in surrounding locations such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia. LCCs have traditionally composed their fleets with narrow-bodied aircraft, but to meet that future demand and perhaps develop new markets, deploying fleets of wide-bodied aircraft may be a way forward; at least Indigo, flydubai, flyadealand flynas all think so, although their identified markets may be slightly different.
\n
With flyadeal announcing an order for ten A330-900s and flynas with an order for fifteen A330s from 2027 onwards, the two carriers are clearly aligning their expectations with the wider Saudi Vision 2030 project and two markets will be attracting much of that interest:
\n\n
The first is the expected growth in religious tourism to the country, with a target of 30 million Umra visitors by 2030, supplying the necessary capacity is a key part of the planning and an opportunity not to be missed by either airline.
\n
In addition, the ever-growing migrant worker markets of India, Indonesia and the Philippines have for many years been served by a mix of direct and indirect carriers. Characterised by year-round regular flows of traffic, these markets overcome some of the seasonality issues and since price is all-important, they are a natural step for the locally based carriers to enter in the coming years.
\n\n
For flydubai, their hybrid position and connectivity with Emirates allows them to enter established markets with complementary services while also developing their own markets. Their first B787s are scheduled for delivery in 2027 (that may stretch to 2028 given current production issues), but the airline is already testing markets with long-haul sectors. Flights to Penang (2,483 Nautical Miles) and Krabi (2,696 Nautical Miles) currently operate with B737-Max aircraft, but ultimately are perhaps better suited to those new B787s. Other markets in South East Asia would seem obvious developments - Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok for instance - while Africa and CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) markets may offer some lucrative destinations, especially if cargo contributions can be developed.
\n
Capitalising on one of the fastest growing markets in the world, IndiGo’s venture into wide-bodied services is nearly here a year earlier than expected, with the launch of Manchester and Amsterdam services using wet leased Norse Atlantic aircraft joining existing services to Istanbul and Bangkok. For IndiGo there is an abundance of potential markets throughout Europe, the Middle East and South East Asia. Even one-stop LCC connectivity from Europe to Australia could perhaps happen.
\n
Premium Opportunities For All Carriers
\n
With the arrival of each airline’s wide-bodied fleets comes not just network opportunities but potential premium cabins and higher margins from that little bit of extra leg room and luggage allowance. flydubai already have a hybrid business class that works well, IndiGo has a “stretch” and flynas has a premium product already on offer. Selling some 30 seats each flight with a 50%+ mark up on the economy fares will certainly make the economics of wide-bodied services more attractive to all the airlines. Who knows, frequent traveller programmes or even a degree of interline connectivity may be possible by 2027.
\n
All of which suggests that finally by 2027 there really will be a successful and growing market for low-cost, long-haul wide-bodied services and after all the previous attempts there may be a long-term demand for such services. But of course, only time will tell and as always in aviation external factors can change a market overnight!

The concept of long-haul low-cost airlines has been around for decades and in all its various shapes and forms, the one thing we can all agree on is that survival is a challenge! Low-cost airlines in the long-haul market face legacy carrier competition, challenges of seasonality and changes in consumer fashion. Despite those challenges, there are always new entrants ready to step up to the plate and try their luck. The latest attempt using an A380 to test the market may succeed but with high operating costs, the jury is certainly out on that one. But seemingly from nowhere, there has been a new development that may just be the right home and sweet spot for long-haul, low-cost services and it’s an interesting evolution of existing airlines.
\n
\n
The Middle East and Indian markets have become a hot spot for low-cost airlines, with a combination of independent carriers such as IndiGo and Air Arabia thriving alongside the subsidiary carriers of legacy airline groupings such as flydubai, flyadeal and Air India Express. Much of the development and expansion has been around narrow-bodied services; record aircraft orders from airlines capitalising on the combination of emergent markets, increased disposable income and relaxations in entry requirements to some countries. The growth in low-cost flights can be seen in the chart below which tracks growth since 2010 and highlights, on an indexed basis, how strong growth has been. India and Saudi Arabia will see over eight times as many flights this year as in 2010. In fact, each of the markets highlighted has at least doubled in the levels of low-cost frequency offered, with a five-fold average increase across the six markets.

Despite those challenges, there are always new entrants ready to step up to the plate and try their luck. The latest attempt using an A380 to test the market may succeed but with high operating costs, the jury is certainly out on that one. But seemingly from nowhere, there has been a new development that may just be the right home and sweet spot for long-haul, low-cost services and it’s an interesting evolution of existing airlines.
\n
\n
The Middle East and Indian markets have become a hot spot for low-cost airlines, with a combination of independent carriers such as IndiGo and Air Arabia thriving alongside the subsidiary carriers of legacy airline groupings such as flydubai, flyadeal and Air India Express. Much of the development and expansion has been around narrow-bodied services; record aircraft orders from airlines capitalising on the combination of emergent markets, increased disposable income and relaxations in entry requirements to some countries. The growth in low-cost flights can be seen in the chart below which tracks growth since 2010 and highlights, on an indexed basis, how strong growth has been. India and Saudi Arabia will see over eight times as many flights this year as in 2010. In fact, each of the markets highlighted has at least doubled in the levels of low-cost frequency offered, with a five-fold average increase across the six markets.
\n
\n
The Compelling Case For Wide-bodied LCCs
\n
Despite such growth, there’s still an appetite for more and the demand for LCC services shows no sign of slowing down. In just one example, one million new workers enter the Indian job market each month and large proportions of those workers are seeking overseas employment in surrounding locations such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia. LCCs have traditionally composed their fleets with narrow-bodied aircraft, but to meet that future demand and perhaps develop new markets, deploying fleets of wide-bodied aircraft may be a way forward; at least Indigo, flydubai, flyadealand flynas all think so, although their identified markets may be slightly different.
\n
With flyadeal announcing an order for ten A330-900s and flynas with an order for fifteen A330s from 2027 onwards, the two carriers are clearly aligning their expectations with the wider Saudi Vision 2030 project and two markets will be attracting much of that interest:
\n\n
The first is the expected growth in religious tourism to the country, with a target of 30 million Umra visitors by 2030, supplying the necessary capacity is a key part of the planning and an opportunity not to be missed by either airline.
\n
In addition, the ever-growing migrant worker markets of India, Indonesia and the Philippines have for many years been served by a mix of direct and indirect carriers. Characterised by year-round regular flows of traffic, these markets overcome some of the seasonality issues and since price is all-important, they are a natural step for the locally based carriers to enter in the coming years.
\n\n
For flydubai, their hybrid position and connectivity with Emirates allows them to enter established markets with complementary services while also developing their own markets. Their first B787s are scheduled for delivery in 2027 (that may stretch to 2028 given current production issues), but the airline is already testing markets with long-haul sectors. Flights to Penang (2,483 Nautical Miles) and Krabi (2,696 Nautical Miles) currently operate with B737-Max aircraft, but ultimately are perhaps better suited to those new B787s. Other markets in South East Asia would seem obvious developments - Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok for instance - while Africa and CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) markets may offer some lucrative destinations, especially if cargo contributions can be developed.
\n
Capitalising on one of the fastest growing markets in the world, IndiGo’s venture into wide-bodied services is nearly here a year earlier than expected, with the launch of Manchester and Amsterdam services using wet leased Norse Atlantic aircraft joining existing services to Istanbul and Bangkok. For IndiGo there is an abundance of potential markets throughout Europe, the Middle East and South East Asia. Even one-stop LCC connectivity from Europe to Australia could perhaps happen.
\n
Premium Opportunities For All Carriers
\n
With the arrival of each airline’s wide-bodied fleets comes not just network opportunities but potential premium cabins and higher margins from that little bit of extra leg room and luggage allowance. flydubai already have a hybrid business class that works well, IndiGo has a “stretch” and flynas has a premium product already on offer. Selling some 30 seats each flight with a 50%+ mark up on the economy fares will certainly make the economics of wide-bodied services more attractive to all the airlines. Who knows, frequent traveller programmes or even a degree of interline connectivity may be possible by 2027.
\n
All of which suggests that finally by 2027 there really will be a successful and growing market for low-cost, long-haul wide-bodied services and after all the previous attempts there may be a long-term demand for such services. But of course, only time will tell and as always in aviation external factors can change a market overnight!

China and India have recently begun discussions on restarting direct air services between the two countries.
\n
These services have been on hold since 2020 due to a combination of the pandemic and a series of border incidents. It might be coincidence that talks are being held now, or a mutually convenient development for both parties. The opportunities for services between two of the largest aviation markets in the world are obvious, but it raises the question of how any new arrangement will differ from 2020 when Chinese airlines dominated the market.
\n
\n
A Historically Regulated Market
\n
Historically, China and India have had some of the most restrictive air service agreements. However, in recent years, both countries have been relaxing their attitudes because of commercial necessity. Nevertheless, it would be fair to say that the potential of such a market relative to the levels of frequency operated have never been fully recognised.
\n
Peaking in 2019 there were some 2,588 scheduled flights a year between the two countries: averaging seven one-way flights a day. Delhi was the focal point for services from Shanghai and Guangzhou with China Southern and Eastern the two dominant airlines operating two daily flights between the countries.
\n
\n
\n
Chinese airlines dominated the market, in part because of the historic “five and twenty” rule of the Indian authorities that essentially prevented any airline aside from Air India operation; who unfortunately for many years had been struggling to survive yet alone capitalise on new emergent market opportunities such as China offered. With Indian airlines essentially restricted in their market access by their own government policy, India provided opportunities for China’s airlines to dominate holding some 80% share of all flights operated - until, of course, the pandemic and a political dispute.
\n
\n
A New Aero Political World
\n
Fast forward five years and with no direct services between the two countries demand has continued to grow with 572,000 indirect passengers travelling through alternate hub airports such as Hong Kong, Bangkok and even Singapore, to reach their final destinations. And while that volume of indirect passengers may seem large, in 2019 (pre-pandemic) over 1.2 million travelled indirectly, confirming there is certainly a market between the two countries. All of which makes a political reset of relationships seem worthwhile for a host of reasons.
\n
With China–US air travel at a historic low, the probability of Chinese airlines returning to the US market in the next four years, under the current administration, appears limited. In 2019, China’s airlines operated some 10,400 flights between the two countries, this year just 2,500 are scheduled under the current bilateral agreement; a steep 76% decline and for Chinese airlines a loss of access to some major hard currency market opportunities. Shifting focus closer to home on high-growth markets like India is a strategic move—even before factoring in current trade-related challenges.
\n
For India - and the aspiration to create world class hub airports in Delhi and Mumbai - access to China is a crucial part of the development strategy and something that could not be ignored, especially when the country’s airlines have 1,800 aircraft on order over the next twenty years; they may not all get delivered and replacements are in that number but they have to have markets to serve! With IndiGo flexing their muscles in longer haul international markets and a rebranded Air India looking to expand their network China presents numerous opportunities and China’s airlines may have a harder fight for dominance in a world where a true low-cost airline is competing head-to-head, especially in the local Indian market.
\n
Advancements in aircraft technology are also a factor from the Indian airlines' perspectives and while Chinese carriers may elect to use wide-bodied aircraft on any new services, for IndiGo the A321XLR’s will provide a very efficient aircraft for such a market. Indeed, from a timing perspective with IndiGo now receiving a more regular supply of new aircraft and over the worst of their Pratt & Whitney engine issues a new rich and underserved market is too good an opportunity to miss.
\n
Getting Ready to Fly
\n
While we are only at the early stages of negotiations, both the Chinese and Indian authorities would benefit from being able to show that outside of other geo-political developments there are alternative and potentially larger opportunities available. And these can be developed without having to return to historic markets for revenues. None of which will concern some of those lost market opportunities but once again shows how in adversity there is always an opportunity!

China and India have recently begun discussions on restarting direct air services between the two countries.
\n
These services have been on hold since 2020 due to a combination of the pandemic and a series of border incidents. It might be coincidence that talks are being held now, or a mutually convenient development for both parties. The opportunities for services between two of the largest aviation markets in the world are obvious, but it raises the question of how any new arrangement will differ from 2020 when Chinese airlines dominated the market.
\n
\n
A Historically Regulated Market
\n
Historically, China and India have had some of the most restrictive air service agreements. However, in recent years, both countries have been relaxing their attitudes because of commercial necessity. Nevertheless, it would be fair to say that the potential of such a market relative to the levels of frequency operated have never been fully recognised.
\n
Peaking in 2019 there were some 2,588 scheduled flights a year between the two countries: averaging seven one-way flights a day. Delhi was the focal point for services from Shanghai and Guangzhou with China Southern and Eastern the two dominant airlines operating two daily flights between the countries.
\n
\n
\n
Chinese airlines dominated the market, in part because of the historic “five and twenty” rule of the Indian authorities that essentially prevented any airline aside from Air India operation; who unfortunately for many years had been struggling to survive yet alone capitalise on new emergent market opportunities such as China offered. With Indian airlines essentially restricted in their market access by their own government policy, India provided opportunities for China’s airlines to dominate holding some 80% share of all flights operated - until, of course, the pandemic and a political dispute.
\n
\n
A New Aero Political World
\n
Fast forward five years and with no direct services between the two countries demand has continued to grow with 572,000 indirect passengers travelling through alternate hub airports such as Hong Kong, Bangkok and even Singapore, to reach their final destinations. And while that volume of indirect passengers may seem large, in 2019 (pre-pandemic) over 1.2 million travelled indirectly, confirming there is certainly a market between the two countries. All of which makes a political reset of relationships seem worthwhile for a host of reasons.
\n
With China–US air travel at a historic low, the probability of Chinese airlines returning to the US market in the next four years, under the current administration, appears limited. In 2019, China’s airlines operated some 10,400 flights between the two countries, this year just 2,500 are scheduled under the current bilateral agreement; a steep 76% decline and for Chinese airlines a loss of access to some major hard currency market opportunities. Shifting focus closer to home on high-growth markets like India is a strategic move—even before factoring in current trade-related challenges.
\n
For India - and the aspiration to create world class hub airports in Delhi and Mumbai - access to China is a crucial part of the development strategy and something that could not be ignored, especially when the country’s airlines have 1,800 aircraft on order over the next twenty years; they may not all get delivered and replacements are in that number but they have to have markets to serve! With IndiGo flexing their muscles in longer haul international markets and a rebranded Air India looking to expand their network China presents numerous opportunities and China’s airlines may have a harder fight for dominance in a world where a true low-cost airline is competing head-to-head, especially in the local Indian market.
\n
Advancements in aircraft technology are also a factor from the Indian airlines' perspectives and while Chinese carriers may elect to use wide-bodied aircraft on any new services, for IndiGo the A321XLR’s will provide a very efficient aircraft for such a market. Indeed, from a timing perspective with IndiGo now receiving a more regular supply of new aircraft and over the worst of their Pratt & Whitney engine issues a new rich and underserved market is too good an opportunity to miss.
\n
Getting Ready to Fly
\n
While we are only at the early stages of negotiations, both the Chinese and Indian authorities would benefit from being able to show that outside of other geo-political developments there are alternative and potentially larger opportunities available. And these can be developed without having to return to historic markets for revenues. None of which will concern some of those lost market opportunities but once again shows how in adversity there is always an opportunity!

In March 2025, 14 of the world's top airlines achieved an on-time performance (OTP) percentage greater than 90%, with the top five airlines scoring as follows:
\n\n
\n
Oman Air96.37%
\n
Royal Jordanian94.59%
\n
Saudi Arabian Airlines94.13%
\n
Safair 93.94%

Fuji Dream Airlines 92.98%
\n
\n
Oman Air Takes Top Spot for Punctuality
\n
Oman Air rose to the top of OAG’s On-Time Performance rankings in March, achieving a 96.4% OTP score, a significant improvement from their 20th position in February. Royal Jordanian followed with 94.6% of flights on time. The top three was a clean sweep for Middle Eastern airlines as Saudia recorded 94.1% OTP in third place. Safair, who regularly top the charts, dropped to fourth with 94% amid challenges in South Africa.
\n
Top Performers Among Very Large Airlines
\n
SAS Scandinavian led in the very large airlines category (20,000+ flights per month) with an OTP of 91.8%, followed by Hainan Airlines at 88.2%. IndiGo once again excelled with no cancellations, ranking sixth at 85.9% OTP. American Airlines reported 3,779 cancellations (1.9%), which equates to a 1.9% rate - that may appear high but Qantas, affected by Cyclone Alfred in Australia, were the poorest performer in the category with a 4.5% cancellation level.
\n
Frustrations for Major Carriers
\n
Emirates, ITA Airways, and Iberia each recorded just one cancellation in March, blotting near-perfect results with all three recording OTP levels above 85%. Virgin Australia were also affected by Cyclone Alfred and nearly mirrored Qantas's cancellation rate at 5.0%.
\n
Medium-Sized Airline OTP Insights
\n
Aer Lingus topped the medium-sized category with 90.0% OTP, narrowly beating FlyNas at 89.7%. Finnair faced challenges with over 3% cancellations due to a pilots' dispute, while congratulations go to Jet2 and Skyline who reported no cancellations.

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?

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?

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Brendan Sobie, Independent Analyst, Consultant and Writer at Sobie Aviation, to discuss an emerging trend in aviation of enforced capacity discipline and how it's impacting growth this year.
\n\n
In the webinar, the live panel take a look at the latest capacity position, how trends in inactive aircraft levels are emerging, and discuss where the greatest geographical impacts may be. They also explore the low cost sector and how that's evolving.
\n
A LOOK AT GLOBAL TRENDS
\n
First, the panel take a look at the state of global capacity now and the year ahead. When comparing Q1 2025 against the same quarter last year, capacity is up 5. 2 percent - and that's taking into account adjustments due to the leap year last year, which added an extra day in February. It's a good position to be in, John says - but the devil is in the detail:
\n
\"Asia is still very much in a recovery mode. We see that year on year, with another 10 million seats being added back into Northeast Asia, for example. Southeast Asia, another 10 million seats being added compared to last year. So a lot of the capacity growth is happening there. The consequence of that, though, using some of the data that we have, is that the average selling fares are falling quite significantly on those routes, which is good for travellers in Asia. But it is a bit of a warning about being careful about capacity and discipline.\"
\n
\n
Regional Variations in Airline Capacity Growth
\n
The landscape of airline capacity growth is far from uniform, with distinct regional variations shaping the industry. In 2025, regions such as Asia and Latin America are witnessing significant capacity expansions, driven by recovering markets and increasing demand for air travel, but other regional growth is more cautious.
\n
Looking at the graph, the panel note how one of the most interesting data points is North Africa, where we we've got a 7% increase in capacity and slight reduction in number of frequencies. \"So obviously someone is using larger aircraft and that someone tends to be the low cost airlines, and particularly European low cost airlines, who are actively developing their positions in North Africa particularly at this time of year. Then you compare and contrast with North America, where there's some very real concerns about the longevity of the ultra low cost airline model and where that is going and where it will end up. So, that's that's a lot more of a cautious market.\"
\n
\n
Enforced Capacity Discipline: Causes and ConsequenceS
\n
Enforced capacity discipline is emerging as a significant trend, impacting airline growth strategies globally. This discipline is often a result of factors beyond the airlines' control, such as delays in aircraft deliveries and maintenance issues. Regionally, this has led to varied impacts: while some Asian markets manage oversupply issues, other regions face constraints due to inactive fleets.

Enforced Capacity Discipline: Causes and ConsequenceS
\n
Enforced capacity discipline is emerging as a significant trend, impacting airline growth strategies globally. This discipline is often a result of factors beyond the airlines' control, such as delays in aircraft deliveries and maintenance issues. Regionally, this has led to varied impacts: while some Asian markets manage oversupply issues, other regions face constraints due to inactive fleets.
For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Brendan Sobie, Independent Analyst, Consultant and Writer at Sobie Aviation, to discuss an emerging trend in aviation of enforced capacity discipline and how it's impacting growth this year.
\n\n
In the webinar, the live panel take a look at the latest capacity position, how trends in inactive aircraft levels are emerging, and discuss where the greatest geographical impacts may be. They also explore the low cost sector and how that's evolving.
\n
A LOOK AT GLOBAL TRENDS
\n
First, the panel take a look at the state of global capacity now and the year ahead. When comparing Q1 2025 against the same quarter last year, capacity is up 5. 2 percent - and that's taking into account adjustments due to the leap year last year, which added an extra day in February. It's a good position to be in, John says - but the devil is in the detail:
\n
\"Asia is still very much in a recovery mode. We see that year on year, with another 10 million seats being added back into Northeast Asia, for example. Southeast Asia, another 10 million seats being added compared to last year. So a lot of the capacity growth is happening there. The consequence of that, though, using some of the data that we have, is that the average selling fares are falling quite significantly on those routes, which is good for travellers in Asia. But it is a bit of a warning about being careful about capacity and discipline.\"
\n
\n
Regional Variations in Airline Capacity Growth
\n
The landscape of airline capacity growth is far from uniform, with distinct regional variations shaping the industry. In 2025, regions such as Asia and Latin America are witnessing significant capacity expansions, driven by recovering markets and increasing demand for air travel, but other regional growth is more cautious.
\n
Looking at the graph, the panel note how one of the most interesting data points is North Africa, where we we've got a 7% increase in capacity and slight reduction in number of frequencies. \"So obviously someone is using larger aircraft and that someone tends to be the low cost airlines, and particularly European low cost airlines, who are actively developing their positions in North Africa particularly at this time of year. Then you compare and contrast with North America, where there's some very real concerns about the longevity of the ultra low cost airline model and where that is going and where it will end up. So, that's that's a lot more of a cautious market.\"

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Gary Bowerman, Director of Check-In Asia, and Rebecca Francosky, Director Air Service Development at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) to recap 2024's aviation trends and look ahead to what's in store next year for the industry.
\n
From looking back at a turbulent year in the industry to making predictions about what might happen as we move into 2025, the live panel began by taking a look at global capacity growth trends this year.
\n
Capacity Growth Trends in 2024
\n
As the aviation industry continues to rebound from the significant disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, capacity growth has emerged as a crucial indicator of recovery. In 2024, global capacity ended 6.3% ahead of the previous year, showcasing notable resilience. However, the industry is still grappling with the loss of five years of expected growth, a challenge compounded by ongoing supply chain disruptions.
\n
\n
regional changes
\n
The panel then discussed regional changes during the year. While four aviation markets are not yet back to 2019 levels (Southern Africa, South-East Asia, Eastern Europe, and Southwest Pacific) the fastest growing regions include Central Asia, Upper South America, and North Africa, all of which have double digit growth compared to 2019.
\n
\n
Predictions for 2025
\n
As the world began to open from COVID lockdowns, it was reported that air travel would not fully recover until 2025. With 2025 on the horizon, our panel gave their thoughts on what the industry will look like next year. What obstacles lie ahead?

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Gary Bowerman, Director of Check-In Asia, and Rebecca Francosky, Director Air Service Development at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) to recap 2024's aviation trends and look ahead to what's in store next year for the industry.
\n
From looking back at a turbulent year in the industry to making predictions about what might happen as we move into 2025, the live panel began by taking a look at global capacity growth trends this year.
\n
Capacity Growth Trends in 2024
\n
As the aviation industry continues to rebound from the significant disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, capacity growth has emerged as a crucial indicator of recovery. In 2024, global capacity ended 6.3% ahead of the previous year, showcasing notable resilience. However, the industry is still grappling with the loss of five years of expected growth, a challenge compounded by ongoing supply chain disruptions.
\n
\n
regional changes
\n
The panel then discussed regional changes during the year. While four aviation markets are not yet back to 2019 levels (Southern Africa, South-East Asia, Eastern Europe, and Southwest Pacific) the fastest growing regions include Central Asia, Upper South America, and North Africa, all of which have double digit growth compared to 2019.
\n
\n
Predictions for 2025
\n
As the world began to open from COVID lockdowns, it was reported that air travel would not fully recover until 2025. With 2025 on the horizon, our panel gave their thoughts on what the industry will look like next year. What obstacles lie ahead?

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Eddy Pieniazek, Head of Analytics and Advisory at Ishka Aviation Finance for a look ahead to the opportunities and challenges emerging this winter season.
\n
From airline prices to capacity trends, low-cost carriers, and the future of the Chinese airline industry, these discussions cover the length and breadth of aviation.
\n
Airline Capacity and Airfare Trends
\n
The talk began on a hopeful note, with the speakers expressing optimism over the forecast of airline prices in the next 12 months - barring any further significant geopolitical issues. A crucial point that emerges from the conversation is the robust growth visible in the Asia Pacific, Europe, and Latin America, the capacity trends in these regions provide much-needed optimism.
\n
Challenges and Strategies
\n
The challenges that ultra-low-cost carriers face were discussed, emphasizing the effect of legacy carriers shifting capacity on these low-cost airlines. The importance of China in the global airline industry was underscored, as Chinese airlines have shown considerable domestic and international capacity growth. However, predictions indicate the return of outbound Chinese travelers may not be as quick as expected.
\n
Watch clip: John Grant on the effect of legacy airlines switching capacity to international markets.
\n
\n
Supply Chain Woes
\n
The last part of the talk addressed pressing issues faced by aircraft manufacturers and airlines caused by delivery delays and supply chain disruptions. It concluded with a warning about the troubled journey ahead, especially for the winter season.
\n
Watch clip: 7% of the global airline fleet is out for maintenance, is this a high number?

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Eddy Pieniazek, Head of Analytics and Advisory at Ishka Aviation Finance for a look ahead to the opportunities and challenges emerging this winter season.
\n
From airline prices to capacity trends, low-cost carriers, and the future of the Chinese airline industry, these discussions cover the length and breadth of aviation.
\n
Airline Capacity and Airfare Trends
\n
The talk began on a hopeful note, with the speakers expressing optimism over the forecast of airline prices in the next 12 months - barring any further significant geopolitical issues. A crucial point that emerges from the conversation is the robust growth visible in the Asia Pacific, Europe, and Latin America, the capacity trends in these regions provide much-needed optimism.
\n
Challenges and Strategies
\n
The challenges that ultra-low-cost carriers face were discussed, emphasizing the effect of legacy carriers shifting capacity on these low-cost airlines. The importance of China in the global airline industry was underscored, as Chinese airlines have shown considerable domestic and international capacity growth. However, predictions indicate the return of outbound Chinese travelers may not be as quick as expected.
\n
Watch clip: John Grant on the effect of legacy airlines switching capacity to international markets.
\n
\n
Supply Chain Woes
\n
The last part of the talk addressed pressing issues faced by aircraft manufacturers and airlines caused by delivery delays and supply chain disruptions. It concluded with a warning about the troubled journey ahead, especially for the winter season.
\n
Watch clip: 7% of the global airline fleet is out for maintenance, is this a high number?

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
