Innovation #2: Malaysia Airlines Launches Mavis, an Agentic AI Customer Service Agent
\n
While the Sabre-PayPal-MindTrip partnership focuses on the booking side of the traveler journey, Malaysia Airlines is applying agentic AI to a different challenge: customer service. On February 24, the airline launched Mavis, an AI-powered customer service agent built on Ada's Agentic Customer Experience (ACX) platform. Mavis is now live across the airline's web, mobile app, and email channels.
\n
Here's how it works:
\n
\n
Mavis handles a wide range of traveler queries: flight status, booking management, check-in assistance, gate information, and loyalty program questions.
\n
The system provides 24/7 support in English and Malay, with additional languages planned.
\n
Complex issues are escalated to live agents. Future enhancements include voice, agent-assist tools, and an itinerary builder.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n
The keyword in Ada's positioning is, wait for it, agentic, because Mavis is not a traditional chatbot (like almost any airline has introduced over the past two years) that quotes the carrier's FAQ page. Mavis is designed to actually resolve issues autonomously (the definition of agentic) by integrating directly with Malaysia Airlines' operational systems.
\n
It's supposed to check a real booking, provide a real gate number, and assist with real check-in processes.
\n
In theory, this marks the long-awaited shift from chatbots that deflect to AI agents that act.
\n
What makes Mavis particularly noteworthy is its geographic context.
\n
\n
Much of the airline AI innovation we have tracked on this Airline-Tech radar has come from US and European carriers.
\n
Malaysia Airlines, as a major Southeast Asian flag carrier, adopting an agentic AI platform signals that this technology is going global.
\n
Bryan Foong, CEO of Airline Business at Malaysia Aviation Group, described the launch as central to the airline's broader digital transformation strategy.
\n
\n
The trajectory here matters. We featured Delta's AI Concierge in February 2025 and Qatar Airways' Sama AI enhancement in March 2025. Mavis represents the next wave: carrier-owned AI agents powered by specialised third-party platforms, deployed as core customer service infrastructure.
\n
\n
Innovation #3: Skyscanner Launches a Dedicated ChatGPT App for Flight Search
\n
If Innovation #1 shows how the infrastructure for agentic booking is being built, and Innovation #2 shows how airlines are starting to deploy agentic AI for customer service, Innovation #3 signals how an established metasearch player is adapting to the new AI era, and it connects directly to one of our 10 Bets for AI in Travel: that scale will remain the decisive advantage, and that AI will favour incumbents over startups.
\n
Skyscanner is not a scrappy challenger anymore, trying to break into the market. It is a travel-tech incumbent with over 160 million monthly users, deep inventory relationships, and years of behavioural data, so exactly the kind of player structurally positioned to win in the AI super-cycle, because the prerequisites for high-impact AI are already sitting inside the business.
\n
On February 27, Skyscanner launched a dedicated ChatGPT app that enables users to search for flights directly within OpenAI's conversational interface, initially in the UK and US markets.
\n
Here's how it works:
\n
\n
Users ask ChatGPT natural language questions like \"find the cheapest flight to New York in December\" or \"weekend getaways from London under £200.\"
\n
ChatGPT routes the query to Skyscanner's app, which draws on data from the platform's 160 million monthly users.
\n
Results are presented within the conversational interface, and no separate tab or redirect is required.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n
Skyscanner's Chief AI Officer Piero Sierra described this as the company evolving \"beyond form-fills toward dynamic, answer-led experiences.\"
\n
That framing is bigger than it sounds.
\n
For two decades, metasearch has operated on a simple model: structured form, structured results, click-through to OTA or airline. The ChatGPT app replaces that with conversation. The traveler describes what they want, and the AI returns options. No departure date pickers, no airport code lookups, no multi-tab comparison. It fundamentally breaks the old playbook.
\n
What makes Skyscanner's approach strategically interesting is its platform diversity.
\n
\n
This is not a one-off ChatGPT integration.
\n
Skyscanner was a launch partner for OpenAI's Operator agent in January 2025, integrated with Microsoft Copilot Actions, and now has a dedicated ChatGPT app.
\n
The company is systematically embedding itself across different AI platforms, deliberately avoiding dependence on any single AI ecosystem, so that wherever a consumer asks about flights, Skyscanner's data is the answer.
\n
\n
In our September 2025 edition, we featured Wingie Enuygun's MCP server as an early example of metasearch adapting to AI protocols. Skyscanner's multi-platform approach takes this further: not just supporting one protocol, but achieving presence across the entire AI assistant ecosystem.
\n
The competitive implications are significant. In a world where AI agents mediate flight search, the companies that supply data to those agents gain distribution power.
\n
\n
That closes our March edition. The agentic travel stack is assembling fast, and we will be watching closely.
\n
Join us in April, when we track how these early deployments mature and which new players enter the race.

Some months, the innovation signal is scattered. This is not one of those months. Welcome to the March 2026 edition of the OAG Airline Tech Innovation Radar, where the conversation in travel tech is dominated by a single word: agentic.
\n\n
In the past few weeks, three announcements landed that, taken together, suggest agentic AI in travel has crossed a threshold. Agentic is no longer a concept deck at travel-tech conferences. Actual infrastructure, actual deployments, and actual partnerships are coming together, connecting real travelers, real inventory, and real payments.
\n
This matters in the context of where we left things in our January radar, where we reviewed 2025 and concluded that distribution remains the category where the most consequential travel-tech innovation is happening. The three innovations we highlight this month reinforce that conclusion and sharpen it.
\n\n
Key summary:
\n
\n
Sabre, PayPal, and MindTrip are building the travel industry’s first end-to-end agentic AI booking pipeline, combining conversational AI trip planning, real-time travel inventory (420+ airlines, 2M hotels), and integrated payment into a single chat-based experience—potentially redefining how travel is discovered, booked, and paid for when it launches in Q2 2026.
\n
Malaysia Airlines launched “Mavis,” an agentic AI customer service agent, built on Ada’s ACX platform, that autonomously handles travel queries and booking tasks across web, app, and email—marking a shift from basic chatbots to AI agents that can act on real airline systems.
\n
Skyscanner launched a ChatGPT app that lets users search for flights through natural language within ChatGPT, signaling a shift from traditional form-based metasearch to conversational travel discovery.

Innovation #1: Sabre, PayPal, and MindTrip Build the First End-to-End Agentic Booking Pipeline
Our industry is excited about AI, but we still lack a strong vision for what the consumer travel experience should become. We've got demos, experiments, and prototypes. What we don't have is a North Star, a compelling argument for how, in this cycle, the customer experience will evolve. And this matters, because without a vision for the front end, we can't build the right back end and infrastructure.
\n
\n
The core challenge thus far is this: no single player in the travel stack owns the full chain.
\n
\n
You need content (flights, hotels)
\n
You need intelligence (conversational AI that understands traveler intent)
\n
And you need commerce (a way to actually pay).
\n
\n
Until now, these pieces have existed in separate silos. On February 12, Sabre, PayPal, and MindTrip announced a partnership that potentially connects all three into what they describe as the travel industry's first end-to-end agentic AI booking system, with a planned launch in Q2 2026. It might be the agentic North Star our industry has been waiting for.
\n
Here's how it's supposed to work:
\n
\n
A traveler describes their trip in natural language through MindTrip's conversational AI interface.
\n
MindTrip queries Sabre's Mosaic APIs, which provide access to more than 420 airlines and two million hotel properties worldwide.
\n
The AI presents curated, personalized options based on traveler preferences, context, and availability.
\n
PayPal's agentic commerce infrastructure handles payment within the conversational flow, completing the entire search-book-pay loop without the traveler ever leaving the conversation.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n
Two things make this partnership so significant.
\n
First, it aims to solve the integration problem. The travel industry has seen plenty of AI chatbots that can talk about travel, and plenty of booking engines that can process transactions. But connecting real-time GDS inventory, conversational AI, and payment into a single, seamless pipeline is new. Importantly, this is not a demo or a prototype. Sabre is putting its full Mosaic content library behind this, and PayPal is deploying its agentic commerce stack (a system designed specifically for AI-to-system transactions).
\n
Second, this partnership signals a structural shift in who controls the booking funnel. Traditionally, that has been the domain of OTAs, airline direct channels, and metasearch. If a conversational AI agent can handle discovery, comparison, and purchase in a single interaction, the role of traditional booking interfaces changes fundamentally. The real question is whether consumers will trust an AI to select, book, and pay on their behalf (which they currently don’t). If they do, this type of integrated pipeline could become the default architecture for agentic travel commerce.
\n
Sabre's involvement is worth noting. We featured Sabre in our November 2025 edition for its AI-enhanced continuous pricing engine, which optimizes the back end. The PayPal-MindTrip collaboration is about reimagining the front end. Together, they paint a picture of a GDS provider positioning itself as core infrastructure for the AI era.

Some months, the innovation signal is scattered. This is not one of those months. Welcome to the March 2026 edition of the OAG Airline Tech Innovation Radar, where the conversation in travel tech is dominated by a single word: agentic.
\n\n
In the past few weeks, three announcements landed that, taken together, suggest agentic AI in travel has crossed a threshold. Agentic is no longer a concept deck at travel-tech conferences. Actual infrastructure, actual deployments, and actual partnerships are coming together, connecting real travelers, real inventory, and real payments.
\n
This matters in the context of where we left things in our January radar, where we reviewed 2025 and concluded that distribution remains the category where the most consequential travel-tech innovation is happening. The three innovations we highlight this month reinforce that conclusion and sharpen it.
\n\n
Key summary:
\n
\n
Sabre, PayPal, and MindTrip are building the travel industry’s first end-to-end agentic AI booking pipeline, combining conversational AI trip planning, real-time travel inventory (420+ airlines, 2M hotels), and integrated payment into a single chat-based experience—potentially redefining how travel is discovered, booked, and paid for when it launches in Q2 2026.
\n
Malaysia Airlines launched “Mavis,” an agentic AI customer service agent, built on Ada’s ACX platform, that autonomously handles travel queries and booking tasks across web, app, and email—marking a shift from basic chatbots to AI agents that can act on real airline systems.
\n
Skyscanner launched a ChatGPT app that lets users search for flights through natural language within ChatGPT, signaling a shift from traditional form-based metasearch to conversational travel discovery.

Innovation #1: Sabre, PayPal, and MindTrip Build the First End-to-End Agentic Booking Pipeline
Our industry is excited about AI, but we still lack a strong vision for what the consumer travel experience should become. We've got demos, experiments, and prototypes. What we don't have is a North Star, a compelling argument for how, in this cycle, the customer experience will evolve. And this matters, because without a vision for the front end, we can't build the right back end and infrastructure.
\n
\n
The core challenge thus far is this: no single player in the travel stack owns the full chain.
\n
\n
You need content (flights, hotels)
\n
You need intelligence (conversational AI that understands traveler intent)
\n
And you need commerce (a way to actually pay).
\n
\n
Until now, these pieces have existed in separate silos. On February 12, Sabre, PayPal, and MindTrip announced a partnership that potentially connects all three into what they describe as the travel industry's first end-to-end agentic AI booking system, with a planned launch in Q2 2026. It might be the agentic North Star our industry has been waiting for.
\n
Here's how it's supposed to work:
\n
\n
A traveler describes their trip in natural language through MindTrip's conversational AI interface.
\n
MindTrip queries Sabre's Mosaic APIs, which provide access to more than 420 airlines and two million hotel properties worldwide.
\n
The AI presents curated, personalized options based on traveler preferences, context, and availability.
\n
PayPal's agentic commerce infrastructure handles payment within the conversational flow, completing the entire search-book-pay loop without the traveler ever leaving the conversation.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n
Two things make this partnership so significant.
\n
First, it aims to solve the integration problem. The travel industry has seen plenty of AI chatbots that can talk about travel, and plenty of booking engines that can process transactions. But connecting real-time GDS inventory, conversational AI, and payment into a single, seamless pipeline is new. Importantly, this is not a demo or a prototype. Sabre is putting its full Mosaic content library behind this, and PayPal is deploying its agentic commerce stack (a system designed specifically for AI-to-system transactions).
\n
Second, this partnership signals a structural shift in who controls the booking funnel. Traditionally, that has been the domain of OTAs, airline direct channels, and metasearch. If a conversational AI agent can handle discovery, comparison, and purchase in a single interaction, the role of traditional booking interfaces changes fundamentally. The real question is whether consumers will trust an AI to select, book, and pay on their behalf (which they currently don’t). If they do, this type of integrated pipeline could become the default architecture for agentic travel commerce.
\n
Sabre's involvement is worth noting. We featured Sabre in our November 2025 edition for its AI-enhanced continuous pricing engine, which optimizes the back end. The PayPal-MindTrip collaboration is about reimagining the front end. Together, they paint a picture of a GDS provider positioning itself as core infrastructure for the AI era.

Innovation #2: Malaysia Airlines Launches Mavis, an Agentic AI Customer Service Agent

While the Sabre-PayPal-MindTrip partnership focuses on the booking side of the traveler journey, Malaysia Airlines is applying agentic AI to a different challenge: customer service. On February 24, the airline launched Mavis, an AI-powered customer service agent built on Ada's Agentic Customer Experience (ACX) platform. Mavis is now live across the airline's web, mobile app, and email channels.
\n
Here's how it works:
\n
\n
Mavis handles a wide range of traveler queries: flight status, booking management, check-in assistance, gate information, and loyalty program questions.
\n
The system provides 24/7 support in English and Malay, with additional languages planned.
\n
Complex issues are escalated to live agents. Future enhancements include voice, agent-assist tools, and an itinerary builder.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n
The keyword in Ada's positioning is, wait for it, agentic, because Mavis is not a traditional chatbot (like almost any airline has introduced over the past two years) that quotes the carrier's FAQ page. Mavis is designed to actually resolve issues autonomously (the definition of agentic) by integrating directly with Malaysia Airlines' operational systems.
\n
It's supposed to check a real booking, provide a real gate number, and assist with real check-in processes.
\n
In theory, this marks the long-awaited shift from chatbots that deflect to AI agents that act.
\n
What makes Mavis particularly noteworthy is its geographic context.
\n
\n
Much of the airline AI innovation we have tracked on this Airline-Tech radar has come from US and European carriers.
\n
Malaysia Airlines, as a major Southeast Asian flag carrier, adopting an agentic AI platform signals that this technology is going global.
\n
Bryan Foong, CEO of Airline Business at Malaysia Aviation Group, described the launch as central to the airline's broader digital transformation strategy.
\n
\n
The trajectory here matters. We featured Delta's AI Concierge in February 2025 and Qatar Airways' Sama AI enhancement in March 2025. Mavis represents the next wave: carrier-owned AI agents powered by specialised third-party platforms, deployed as core customer service infrastructure.

Innovation #3: Skyscanner Launches a Dedicated ChatGPT App for Flight Search
\n
If Innovation #1 shows how the infrastructure for agentic booking is being built, and Innovation #2 shows how airlines are starting to deploy agentic AI for customer service, Innovation #3 signals how an established metasearch player is adapting to the new AI era, and it connects directly to one of our 10 Bets for AI in Travel: that scale will remain the decisive advantage, and that AI will favour incumbents over startups.
\n
Skyscanner is not a scrappy challenger anymore, trying to break into the market. It is a travel-tech incumbent with over 160 million monthly users, deep inventory relationships, and years of behavioural data, so exactly the kind of player structurally positioned to win in the AI super-cycle, because the prerequisites for high-impact AI are already sitting inside the business.
\n
On February 27, Skyscanner launched a dedicated ChatGPT app that enables users to search for flights directly within OpenAI's conversational interface, initially in the UK and US markets.
\n
Here's how it works:
\n
\n
Users ask ChatGPT natural language questions like \"find the cheapest flight to New York in December\" or \"weekend getaways from London under £200.\"
\n
ChatGPT routes the query to Skyscanner's app, which draws on data from the platform's 160 million monthly users.
\n
Results are presented within the conversational interface, and no separate tab or redirect is required.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n
Skyscanner's Chief AI Officer Piero Sierra described this as the company evolving \"beyond form-fills toward dynamic, answer-led experiences.\"
\n
That framing is bigger than it sounds.
\n
For two decades, metasearch has operated on a simple model: structured form, structured results, click-through to OTA or airline. The ChatGPT app replaces that with conversation. The traveler describes what they want, and the AI returns options. No departure date pickers, no airport code lookups, no multi-tab comparison. It fundamentally breaks the old playbook.
\n
What makes Skyscanner's approach strategically interesting is its platform diversity.
\n
\n
This is not a one-off ChatGPT integration.
\n
Skyscanner was a launch partner for OpenAI's Operator agent in January 2025, integrated with Microsoft Copilot Actions, and now has a dedicated ChatGPT app.
\n
The company is systematically embedding itself across different AI platforms, deliberately avoiding dependence on any single AI ecosystem, so that wherever a consumer asks about flights, Skyscanner's data is the answer.
\n
\n
In our September 2025 edition, we featured Wingie Enuygun's MCP server as an early example of metasearch adapting to AI protocols. Skyscanner's multi-platform approach takes this further: not just supporting one protocol, but achieving presence across the entire AI assistant ecosystem.
\n
The competitive implications are significant. In a world where AI agents mediate flight search, the companies that supply data to those agents gain distribution power.
\n
\n
That closes our March edition. The agentic travel stack is assembling fast, and we will be watching closely.
\n
Join us in April, when we track how these early deployments mature and which new players enter the race.

Some months, the innovation signal is scattered. This is not one of those months. Welcome to the March 2026 edition of the OAG Airline Tech Innovation Radar, where the conversation in travel tech is dominated by a single word: agentic.
\n\n
In the past few weeks, three announcements landed that, taken together, suggest agentic AI in travel has crossed a threshold. Agentic is no longer a concept deck at travel-tech conferences. Actual infrastructure, actual deployments, and actual partnerships are coming together, connecting real travelers, real inventory, and real payments.
\n
This matters in the context of where we left things in our January radar, where we reviewed 2025 and concluded that distribution remains the category where the most consequential travel-tech innovation is happening. The three innovations we highlight this month reinforce that conclusion and sharpen it.
\n\n
Key summary:
\n
\n
Sabre, PayPal, and MindTrip are building the travel industry’s first end-to-end agentic AI booking pipeline, combining conversational AI trip planning, real-time travel inventory (420+ airlines, 2M hotels), and integrated payment into a single chat-based experience—potentially redefining how travel is discovered, booked, and paid for when it launches in Q2 2026.
\n
Malaysia Airlines launched “Mavis,” an agentic AI customer service agent, built on Ada’s ACX platform, that autonomously handles travel queries and booking tasks across web, app, and email—marking a shift from basic chatbots to AI agents that can act on real airline systems.
\n
Skyscanner launched a ChatGPT app that lets users search for flights through natural language within ChatGPT, signaling a shift from traditional form-based metasearch to conversational travel discovery.

Innovation #1: Sabre, PayPal, and MindTrip Build the First End-to-End Agentic Booking Pipeline
Our industry is excited about AI, but we still lack a strong vision for what the consumer travel experience should become. We've got demos, experiments, and prototypes. What we don't have is a North Star, a compelling argument for how, in this cycle, the customer experience will evolve. And this matters, because without a vision for the front end, we can't build the right back end and infrastructure.
\n
\n
The core challenge thus far is this: no single player in the travel stack owns the full chain.
\n
\n
You need content (flights, hotels)
\n
You need intelligence (conversational AI that understands traveler intent)
\n
And you need commerce (a way to actually pay).
\n
\n
Until now, these pieces have existed in separate silos. On February 12, Sabre, PayPal, and MindTrip announced a partnership that potentially connects all three into what they describe as the travel industry's first end-to-end agentic AI booking system, with a planned launch in Q2 2026. It might be the agentic North Star our industry has been waiting for.
\n
Here's how it's supposed to work:
\n
\n
A traveler describes their trip in natural language through MindTrip's conversational AI interface.
\n
MindTrip queries Sabre's Mosaic APIs, which provide access to more than 420 airlines and two million hotel properties worldwide.
\n
The AI presents curated, personalized options based on traveler preferences, context, and availability.
\n
PayPal's agentic commerce infrastructure handles payment within the conversational flow, completing the entire search-book-pay loop without the traveler ever leaving the conversation.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n
Two things make this partnership so significant.
\n
First, it aims to solve the integration problem. The travel industry has seen plenty of AI chatbots that can talk about travel, and plenty of booking engines that can process transactions. But connecting real-time GDS inventory, conversational AI, and payment into a single, seamless pipeline is new. Importantly, this is not a demo or a prototype. Sabre is putting its full Mosaic content library behind this, and PayPal is deploying its agentic commerce stack (a system designed specifically for AI-to-system transactions).
\n
Second, this partnership signals a structural shift in who controls the booking funnel. Traditionally, that has been the domain of OTAs, airline direct channels, and metasearch. If a conversational AI agent can handle discovery, comparison, and purchase in a single interaction, the role of traditional booking interfaces changes fundamentally. The real question is whether consumers will trust an AI to select, book, and pay on their behalf (which they currently don’t). If they do, this type of integrated pipeline could become the default architecture for agentic travel commerce.
\n
Sabre's involvement is worth noting. We featured Sabre in our November 2025 edition for its AI-enhanced continuous pricing engine, which optimizes the back end. The PayPal-MindTrip collaboration is about reimagining the front end. Together, they paint a picture of a GDS provider positioning itself as core infrastructure for the AI era.

You can find key metrics for each of the world’s top 20 airlines (based on seat capacity in 2025) in OAG’s freshly updated Takeoff report, but what do the overall data trends tell us about the current state of the aviation industry? Read on to discover the trends and key facts from Takeoff.
\n
Overall Trends in the Top 20 Airlines
\n
\n
All four of the main metrics tracked (Capacity, frequency, ASKs and routes) are growing, indicating continued post-pandemic expansion across the world’s largest carriers.
\n
ASK growth (+4.3% YoY) leads all metrics, and the fact that it significantly outpaces capacity growth (+2.8%) indicates that airlines are collectively flying longer sectors and prioritising long-haul expansion.
\n
Route growth (+2.8%) is the slowest growing metric alongside capacity for the top 20 airlines, indicating that carriers are adding capacity and frequency to existing routes more than opening new ones.
\n
Of the 20 airlines, 16 are growing capacity while 4 are contracting. For ASKs, 17 of 20 are growing.
\n
For routes, 13 airlines added routes last year, six cut, and one (ANA) is flat.
\n
\n
\n
\n
The Top Airlines for Key Metrics
\n
\n\n
\n
\n
American Airlines is the world’s largest airline by both capacity and frequency but ranks 2nd for ASKs due to its shorter domestic-heavy network.United Airlines leads on ASKs thanks to its greater long-haul exposure (22.3% international capacity vs AA’s 17.2%). Ryanair’s point-to-point model gives it the most routes despite ranking only 5th in capacity.

You can find key metrics for each of the world’s top 20 airlines (based on seat capacity in 2025) in OAG’s freshly updated Takeoff report, but what do the overall data trends tell us about the current state of the aviation industry? Read on to discover the trends and key facts from Takeoff.
\n
Overall Trends in the Top 20 Airlines
\n
\n
All four of the main metrics tracked (Capacity, frequency, ASKs and routes) are growing, indicating continued post-pandemic expansion across the world’s largest carriers.
\n
ASK growth (+4.3% YoY) leads all metrics, and the fact that it significantly outpaces capacity growth (+2.8%) indicates that airlines are collectively flying longer sectors and prioritising long-haul expansion.
\n
Route growth (+2.8%) is the slowest growing metric alongside capacity for the top 20 airlines, indicating that carriers are adding capacity and frequency to existing routes more than opening new ones.
\n
Of the 20 airlines, 16 are growing capacity while 4 are contracting. For ASKs, 17 of 20 are growing.
\n
For routes, 13 airlines added routes last year, six cut, and one (ANA) is flat.
\n
\n
\n
\n
The Top Airlines for Key Metrics
\n
\n\n
\n
\n
American Airlines is the world’s largest airline by both capacity and frequency but ranks 2nd for ASKs due to its shorter domestic-heavy network.United Airlines leads on ASKs thanks to its greater long-haul exposure (22.3% international capacity vs AA’s 17.2%). Ryanair’s point-to-point model gives it the most routes despite ranking only 5th in capacity.

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Courtney Miller (Founder and Managing Director, Visual Approach Analytics) and Ignacio Ottati (Manager, Air Service Development, Calgary Airport Authority to discuss how the North American aviation market is performing amid ongoing disruption.
\n\n
The panel discussed:
\n
\n
How carriers are maintaining demand despite economic and geopolitical volatility
\n
Where networks are expanding and which routes are driving yield growth
\n
What profitability will look like for airlines in 2026 and beyond
\n
\n
Below are just some highlights, with the full recording ready to view at the bottom of the page.
\n\n
A l00k at global capacity growth trends
\n
Before diving into the topic of this week's webinar, the panel reviewed Q1 global capacity growth data:
\n
\n
Capacity growth for Q1 remains 3.7% ahead of 2025, however when we stretch that out to H1 2026, this falls to 2.5%.
\n
\n
\n
Which markets are driving growth?
\n
\n
In the first half of 2026, global domestic capacity is almost flat, just 0.8% above 2025, with sluggish demand in Asia and Europe offset by stronger growth in other regions, including North America.
\n
International capacity is forecast to rise 5% year on year in H1 2026, led by strongest growth in the Southwest Pacific and Africa, with Asia, Europe and the Middle East broadly in line with the global trend.
\n
North America international capacity is lagging, with growth of just 1.1% expected at this point.
\n
\n
\n
A closer look at passenger demand in the U.S.
\n
Next we take a closer look at the U.S., with Courtney giving an overview of economic trends post-COVID, highlighting the initial downturn, recovery, and current stabilization. How are human behaviors as a result of the economic whiplash influencing current market dynamics?
\n
\n
how have transborder traffic trends shifted?
\n
Despite shifts in global travel trends, the Canada remains an attractive outlier due to its picturesque landscapes and year-round activities:
\n
\n
Why Your Airfare Isn’t The Real Cost Anymore
\n
The panel explored how other travel-related costs, such as hotel accommodations, Disney tickets, and ski lift tickets, have increased, impacting travel decisions more than airfare alone:

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Courtney Miller (Founder and Managing Director, Visual Approach Analytics) and Ignacio Ottati (Manager, Air Service Development, Calgary Airport Authority to discuss how the North American aviation market is performing amid ongoing disruption.
\n\n
The panel discussed:
\n
\n
How carriers are maintaining demand despite economic and geopolitical volatility
\n
Where networks are expanding and which routes are driving yield growth
\n
What profitability will look like for airlines in 2026 and beyond
\n
\n
Below are just some highlights, with the full recording ready to view at the bottom of the page.
\n\n
A l00k at global capacity growth trends
\n
Before diving into the topic of this week's webinar, the panel reviewed Q1 global capacity growth data:
\n
\n
Capacity growth for Q1 remains 3.7% ahead of 2025, however when we stretch that out to H1 2026, this falls to 2.5%.
\n
\n
\n
Which markets are driving growth?
\n
\n
In the first half of 2026, global domestic capacity is almost flat, just 0.8% above 2025, with sluggish demand in Asia and Europe offset by stronger growth in other regions, including North America.
\n
International capacity is forecast to rise 5% year on year in H1 2026, led by strongest growth in the Southwest Pacific and Africa, with Asia, Europe and the Middle East broadly in line with the global trend.
\n
North America international capacity is lagging, with growth of just 1.1% expected at this point.
\n
\n
\n
A closer look at passenger demand in the U.S.
\n
Next we take a closer look at the U.S., with Courtney giving an overview of economic trends post-COVID, highlighting the initial downturn, recovery, and current stabilization. How are human behaviors as a result of the economic whiplash influencing current market dynamics?
\n
\n
how have transborder traffic trends shifted?
\n
Despite shifts in global travel trends, the Canada remains an attractive outlier due to its picturesque landscapes and year-round activities:
\n
\n
Why Your Airfare Isn’t The Real Cost Anymore
\n
The panel explored how other travel-related costs, such as hotel accommodations, Disney tickets, and ski lift tickets, have increased, impacting travel decisions more than airfare alone:

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Sanja Ples (CEO, ch-aviation) and Jon Howey (Deputy COO & Head of Aviation Risk, CALC) to discuss the year in aviation and explore the trends that may shape the industry in 2026.
\n\n
The panel discussed:
\n
\n
Global airline capacity trends and where growth is taking place right now
\n
New developments to come in 2026 in the airline community
\n
The airlines to watch in the year ahead
\n
\n\n
A look at growth trends
\n
First, the panel began by taking a look at global growth trends:
\n
\n
Capacity growth for the year to date remains steady at 3.1% ahead of last year.
\n
Q1 2026 is currently 3.6% ahead of Q1 2025.
\n
\n
\n
Which aviation markets led growth in 2025?
\n
\n
Central Asia and North Africa led growth in 2025, with some markets still to shake off the impact from the pandemic:
\n
\n
\n
Growth appears steady across most markets this winter
\n
\n
Domestic aviation markets in Asia, Latin America and Australia are seeing strongest growth of almost 4% compared to last winter.
\n
The Middle East is also strong, but impacted by missing data in Iran - if we strip out this effect, domestic growth is almost 10% ahead.
\n
International growth is strongest in the Middle East, Africa, and Southwest Pacific.
\n
\n
\n
Some turbulence emerging in North-East Asia
\n
\n
On 14 November, China issued a travel advisory, urging its citizens not to travel to Japan following a diplomatic dispute between the two countries. This was followed by a further warning to Chinese citizens from the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo, raising security concerns about travel in Japan.
\n
Capacity between the two countries has seen a significant fall in the last four weeks for the rest of the winter season (December –the end of March), with seats down by 18% compared to the position before the announcements. Before this, 82% of capacity was operated by Chinese carriers, and they have reduced capacity by 19% for the rest of the season. This may reduce further in the coming weeks.
\n
\n
\n
What does the Low-cost Carrier (LCC) landscape look like in Europe?
\n
\n
In 5 of the Top 10 LCC markets in Europe, Ryanair has the largest share.
\n
This is highest in Italy, where they operate 57% of capacity.
\n
Only Norway has a more dominant carrier, Norwegian, who operate 85% of capacity.
\n
In Poland, Ryanair also operate over 50% of capacity.
\n
\n
\n
WHAT DOES THE LCC LANDSCAPE LOOK LIKE IN the US?
\n
\n
Meanwhile, in the US, LCC access to major hubs remains limited. The panel explores the data and discusses the reasons why the US's biggest airports are still difficult markets for LCCs to operate in:

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Sanja Ples (CEO, ch-aviation) and Jon Howey (Deputy COO & Head of Aviation Risk, CALC) to discuss the year in aviation and explore the trends that may shape the industry in 2026.
\n\n
The panel discussed:
\n
\n
Global airline capacity trends and where growth is taking place right now
\n
New developments to come in 2026 in the airline community
\n
The airlines to watch in the year ahead
\n
\n\n
A look at growth trends
\n
First, the panel began by taking a look at global growth trends:
\n
\n
Capacity growth for the year to date remains steady at 3.1% ahead of last year.
\n
Q1 2026 is currently 3.6% ahead of Q1 2025.
\n
\n
\n
Which aviation markets led growth in 2025?
\n
\n
Central Asia and North Africa led growth in 2025, with some markets still to shake off the impact from the pandemic:
\n
\n
\n
Growth appears steady across most markets this winter
\n
\n
Domestic aviation markets in Asia, Latin America and Australia are seeing strongest growth of almost 4% compared to last winter.
\n
The Middle East is also strong, but impacted by missing data in Iran - if we strip out this effect, domestic growth is almost 10% ahead.
\n
International growth is strongest in the Middle East, Africa, and Southwest Pacific.
\n
\n
\n
Some turbulence emerging in North-East Asia
\n
\n
On 14 November, China issued a travel advisory, urging its citizens not to travel to Japan following a diplomatic dispute between the two countries. This was followed by a further warning to Chinese citizens from the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo, raising security concerns about travel in Japan.
\n
Capacity between the two countries has seen a significant fall in the last four weeks for the rest of the winter season (December –the end of March), with seats down by 18% compared to the position before the announcements. Before this, 82% of capacity was operated by Chinese carriers, and they have reduced capacity by 19% for the rest of the season. This may reduce further in the coming weeks.
\n
\n
\n
What does the Low-cost Carrier (LCC) landscape look like in Europe?
\n
\n
In 5 of the Top 10 LCC markets in Europe, Ryanair has the largest share.
\n
This is highest in Italy, where they operate 57% of capacity.
\n
Only Norway has a more dominant carrier, Norwegian, who operate 85% of capacity.
\n
In Poland, Ryanair also operate over 50% of capacity.
\n
\n
\n
WHAT DOES THE LCC LANDSCAPE LOOK LIKE IN the US?
\n
\n
Meanwhile, in the US, LCC access to major hubs remains limited. The panel explores the data and discusses the reasons why the US's biggest airports are still difficult markets for LCCs to operate in:

For this month's aviation industry webinar, Deirdre Fulton and John Grant were joined by Valeria Bucheli (Senior Tourism Representative - Head of Aviation, ProColombia) to discuss the dynamic growth of Colombia's aviation market and the driving forces behind it.
\n\n
The panel discussed:
\n
\n
What is driving the rapid growth of air services in Colombia
\n
Who is travelling internationally and to where
\n
Airline expansion strategies - examining the players, their approaches, and the reasons behind them
\n
\n\n

\n
Global capacity growth for the year to date remains steady, at 3% ahead of last year.
\n

\n
\n
\n
Colombia: A market overview
\n
Next, the panel gave some context on Colombia's market in capacity terms:
\n
\n
This month, Colombia is the 23rd largest market in capacity terms globally, with 10.7m seats across both domestic and international markets.
\n
Only Brazil and Mexico are bigger in terms of Latin America competitors, driven by their much larger populations leading to very large domestic air markets.
\n
Over the last 25 years, Colombia has seen capacity grow at a CAGR rate of 5.8%, second only to Panama, amongst the Top 10 in Latin America.
\n
\n
\n
Colombia's post-covid recovery
\n
While looking at Colombia's growth trends over the past decade, the panel discussed the strategies taken during and coming out of the pandemic that helped boost their post-Covid recovery:
\n
\n
A strategic location for inbound travel
\n
Next, the panel highlighted the importance of Colombia's location and the opportunities it provides to connect with travellers from across the Americas:
\n
\n
And what about outbound travel?
\n
Off the back of the previous slide, the panel discuss outbound travel - where are Colombians flying to?

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.
