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 \nFast 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.
\nWith 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.
\nFor 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.
\nAdvancements 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.
\nWhile 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!

\nThese 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 \nHistorically, 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.
\nPeaking in 2019 there were some 2,588 scheduled flights a year between the two countries: averaging seven one-way flights a day.

airline industry is currently navigating a period of heightened uncertainty. Geopolitical tensions, especially the ongoing tariff discussions, are casting a shadow over the global outlook, and early demand signals reflect growing traveler caution. But while these short-term headwinds are real, they shouldn’t distract us from the longer-term digital transformation of the airline sector, especially the innovation momentum still gaining speed beneath the surface.
\n\nThis month, we spotlight three major innovation launches that give us renewed confidence in aviation’s long-term future. Let’s dive into April’s standout innovations:
\nGoogle is making a bold push into the travel planning space by rolling out a suite of AI-powered features across its core platforms: Search, Maps, and Gemini. The new tools aim to simplify the way people research, plan, and organize trips, offering a more seamless and integrated experience across the Google ecosystem.
\nOne of the biggest updates comes to Google Search, where so-called “AI Overviews”—the new summaries generated by Google’s large language models—can now help users create full trip itineraries.
\nMeanwhile, Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, is getting a major travel update as well. Through “Gemini Gems,” users can create customized “mini travel planners” for free.
\nThe real power of this innovation lies not in any single feature but in how Google is stitching together its entire platform into a travel planning ecosystem. By connecting Search, Maps, Gemini, Gmail, and Docs, Google is taking steps to become the ultimate “super app,” or rather “super-platform,” for travel, something OTAs and other AI-native tools like ChatGPT would not be able to offer.
\nCrucially, Google’s approach isn’t just about simplifying inspiration and booking. Features like Gemini Gems point to a future where travel-specific AI agents, customizable by anyone, could become a powerful new layer of user interaction, essentially allowing every traveler to build their own digital travel concierge.
\nFor airlines, OTAs, and other industry players, this is a development worth watching. Google is quietly redefining what the travel planning journey might look like, and it’s happening inside existing tools that billions of people already use every day.
\nThere’s clearly no slowdown when it comes to AI in travel. While much of the recent attention has focused on customer-facing enhancements, like Google’s new trip planning tools, just as much innovation is happening behind the scenes, transforming the operational backbone of aviation.
\nJapan Airlines offers a prime example of this shift. The carrier is building “JAL-AI Report,” an AI-powered mobile app that streamlines the post-flight reporting process for its cabin crew—a task that, until now, has been both time-consuming and labor-intensive.
\nAfter each flight, flight attendants are responsible for writing incident reports. These summaries of notable events onboard can include medical emergencies, unruly passenger behavior, or equipment malfunctions. These reports are vital for compliance, safety reviews, and continuous service improvement, but they’re also quite time-consuming. Historically, they could take up to an hour per flight to complete.
\nJapan Airlines, in collaboration with Microsoft, is looking to change that.
\nThe new JAL-AI Report app is powered by Microsoft’s Phi‑4 small language model (SLM). It is a compact, efficient model specifically chosen for its ability to function offline and on mobile devices with limited computing power. This is crucial for in-flight use or scenarios with poor connectivity. Early trials suggest the app can cut report writing time from 60 minutes to just 20 minutes.
\nAdditional features are also in the works:
\nUnlike many AI projects that feel more like PR moves than operational breakthroughs, Japan Airlines’ JAL-AI Report tackles a real-world airline challenge with clear productivity gains. It reduces repetitive admin work and allows crew members to spend more time where it matters most: caring for passengers.
\nThis is AI at its most business-relevant: improving efficiency, employee satisfaction, and, ultimately, the customer experience.
\nEqually important, JAL’s thoughtful approach reveals a side of the AI conversation that’s often overlooked: infrastructure constraints. By opting for a small language model that works offline and on mobile, the airline is solving real deployment challenges that come with applying AI in aviation environments—not everything can be solved with a cloud-based LLM.
\nIn short, this is a practical innovation with tangible results and a great case study in designing AI not for hype, but for high-impact operational use.
\nNot every breakthrough in aviation tech requires sophisticated AI or massive LLM integrations. Sometimes, simple digital platforms can have an outsized impact, especially in the operational trenches of air travel. Innovation #3 is a powerful reminder of that.
\nAir India, in partnership with AISATS and Rsmart, has rolled out a digital management system to better serve passengers with reduced mobility (PRM). The goal? Real-time tracking and optimized allocation of wheelchair resources at the airport.
\nThis is more than a tech upgrade, it’s a direct response to a real operational and reputational challenge.
\nAir India has come under public scrutiny twice in the past 13 months for failing to provide wheelchairs to passengers in time, most recently in an incident that ended with a passenger suffering a fall.
\nThis solution addresses the airline’s own pain point, but it also reflects a much broader industry trend:
\nThis innovation offers two major benefits:
\nWhat’s most impressive? It’s a “low-tech” solution solving a high-stakes problem, proving that not every digital innovation needs to be flashy to deliver meaningful results.
\nThis closes out our April edition with a reminder: the path to better air travel lies not only in futuristic AI applications but also in practical, user-focused digital solutions that make aviation more efficient, inclusive, and human.

Geopolitical tensions, especially the ongoing tariff discussions, are casting a shadow over the global outlook, and early demand signals reflect growing traveler caution. But while these short-term headwinds are real, they shouldn’t distract us from the longer-term digital transformation of the airline sector, especially the innovation momentum still gaining speed beneath the surface.
\n\nThis month, we spotlight three major innovation launches that give us renewed confidence in aviation’s long-term future. Let’s dive into April’s standout innovations:
\nGoogle is making a bold push into the travel planning space by rolling out a suite of AI-powered features across its core platforms: Search, Maps, and Gemini. The new tools aim to simplify the way people research, plan, and organize trips, offering a more seamless and integrated experience across the Google ecosystem.
\nOne of the biggest updates comes to Google Search, where so-called “AI Overviews”—the new summaries generated by Google’s large language models—can now help users create full trip itineraries.
\nMeanwhile, Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, is getting a major travel update as well. Through “Gemini Gems,” users can create customized “mini travel planners” for free.
\nThe real power of this innovation lies not in any single feature but in how Google is stitching together its entire platform into a travel planning ecosystem. By connecting Search, Maps, Gemini, Gmail, and Docs, Google is taking steps to become the ultimate “super app,” or rather “super-platform,” for travel, something OTAs and other AI-native tools like ChatGPT would not be able to offer.
\nCrucially, Google’s approach isn’t just about simplifying inspiration and booking. Features like Gemini Gems point to a future where travel-specific AI agents, customizable by anyone, could become a powerful new layer of user interaction, essentially allowing every traveler to build their own digital travel concierge.
\nFor airlines, OTAs, and other industry players, this is a development worth watching. Google is quietly redefining what the travel planning journey might look like, and it’s happening inside existing tools that billions of people already use every day.
\nThere’s clearly no slowdown when it comes to AI in travel. While much of the recent attention has focused on customer-facing enhancements, like Google’s new trip planning tools, just as much innovation is happening behind the scenes, transforming the operational backbone of aviation.
\nJapan Airlines offers a prime example of this shift. The carrier is building “JAL-AI Report,” an AI-powered mobile app that streamlines the post-flight reporting process for its cabin crew—a task that, until now, has been both time-consuming and labor-intensive.
\nAfter each flight, flight attendants are responsible for writing incident reports. These summaries of notable events onboard can include medical emergencies, unruly passenger behavior, or equipment malfunctions. These reports are vital for compliance, safety reviews, and continuous service improvement, but they’re also quite time-consuming. Historically, they could take up to an hour per flight to complete.
\nJapan Airlines, in collaboration with Microsoft, is looking to change that.
\nThe new JAL-AI Report app is powered by Microsoft’s Phi‑4 small language model (SLM). It is a compact, efficient model specifically chosen for its ability to function offline and on mobile devices with limited computing power. This is crucial for in-flight use or scenarios with poor connectivity. Early trials suggest the app can cut report writing time from 60 minutes to just 20 minutes.
\nAdditional features are also in the works:
\nUnlike many AI projects that feel more like PR moves than operational breakthroughs, Japan Airlines’ JAL-AI Report tackles a real-world airline challenge with clear productivity gains. It reduces repetitive admin work and allows crew members to spend more time where it matters most: caring for passengers.
\nThis is AI at its most business-relevant: improving efficiency, employee satisfaction, and, ultimately, the customer experience.
\nEqually important, JAL’s thoughtful approach reveals a side of the AI conversation that’s often overlooked: infrastructure constraints. By opting for a small language model that works offline and on mobile, the airline is solving real deployment challenges that come with applying AI in aviation environments—not everything can be solved with a cloud-based LLM.
\nIn short, this is a practical innovation with tangible results and a great case study in designing AI not for hype, but for high-impact operational use.
\nNot every breakthrough in aviation tech requires sophisticated AI or massive LLM integrations. Sometimes, simple digital platforms can have an outsized impact, especially in the operational trenches of air travel. Innovation #3 is a powerful reminder of that.
\nAir India, in partnership with AISATS and Rsmart, has rolled out a digital management system to better serve passengers with reduced mobility (PRM). The goal? Real-time tracking and optimized allocation of wheelchair resources at the airport.
\nThis is more than a tech upgrade, it’s a direct response to a real operational and reputational challenge.
\nAir India has come under public scrutiny twice in the past 13 months for failing to provide wheelchairs to passengers in time, most recently in an incident that ended with a passenger suffering a fall.
\nThis solution addresses the airline’s own pain point, but it also reflects a much broader industry trend:
\nThis innovation offers two major benefits:
\nWhat’s most impressive? It’s a “low-tech” solution solving a high-stakes problem, proving that not every digital innovation needs to be flashy to deliver meaningful results.
\nThis closes out our April edition with a reminder: the path to better air travel lies not only in futuristic AI applications but also in practical, user-focused digital solutions that make aviation more efficient, inclusive, and human.

These reports are vital for compliance, safety reviews, and continuous service improvement, but they’re also quite time-consuming. Historically, they could take up to an hour per flight to complete.
\nJapan Airlines, in collaboration with Microsoft, is looking to change that.
\nThe new JAL-AI Report app is powered by Microsoft’s Phi‑4 small language model (SLM). It is a compact, efficient model specifically chosen for its ability to function offline and on mobile devices with limited computing power. This is crucial for in-flight use or scenarios with poor connectivity. Early trials suggest the app can cut report writing time from 60 minutes to just 20 minutes.
\nAdditional features are also in the works:
\nUnlike many AI projects that feel more like PR moves than operational breakthroughs, Japan Airlines’ JAL-AI Report tackles a real-world airline challenge with clear productivity gains. It reduces repetitive admin work and allows crew members to spend more time where it matters most: caring for passengers.
\nThis is AI at its most business-relevant: improving efficiency, employee satisfaction, and, ultimately, the customer experience.
\nEqually important, JAL’s thoughtful approach reveals a side of the AI conversation that’s often overlooked: infrastructure constraints. By opting for a small language model that works offline and on mobile, the airline is solving real deployment challenges that come with applying AI in aviation environments—not everything can be solved with a cloud-based LLM.
\nIn short, this is a practical innovation with tangible results and a great case study in designing AI not for hype, but for high-impact operational use.
\nNot every breakthrough in aviation tech requires sophisticated AI or massive LLM integrations. Sometimes, simple digital platforms can have an outsized impact, especially in the operational trenches of air travel. Innovation #3 is a powerful reminder of that.
\nAir India, in partnership with AISATS and Rsmart, has rolled out a digital management system to better serve passengers with reduced mobility (PRM). The goal? Real-time tracking and optimized allocation of wheelchair resources at the airport.
\nThis is more than a tech upgrade, it’s a direct response to a real operational and reputational challenge.
\nAir India has come under public scrutiny twice in the past 13 months for failing to provide wheelchairs to passengers in time, most recently in an incident that ended with a passenger suffering a fall.
\nThis solution addresses the airline’s own pain point, but it also reflects a much broader industry trend:
\nThis innovation offers two major benefits:
\nWhat’s most impressive? It’s a “low-tech” solution solving a high-stakes problem, proving that not every digital innovation needs to be flashy to deliver meaningful results.
\nThis closes out our April edition with a reminder: the path to better air travel lies not only in futuristic AI applications but also in practical, user-focused digital solutions that make aviation more efficient, inclusive, and human.

\n","rssSummary":"
The airline industry is currently navigating a period of heightened uncertainty. Geopolitical tensions, especially the ongoing tariff discussions, are casting a shadow over the global outlook, and early demand signals reflect growing traveler caution. But while these short-term headwinds are real, they shouldn’t distract us from the longer-term digital transformation of the airline sector, especially the innovation momentum still gaining speed beneath the surface.

The industry is looking forward to what should be a strong summer season before a perhaps more uncertain outlook for consumer confidence in the last quarter of the year.
\n\nWhile some European markets have struggled to recover to pre-pandemic capacity levels as a mix of regulatory and supply factors impact supply, Spain has accelerated away to become the single largest country market in Western Europe. Between now and the end of October some 118 million departing seats will be on sale from Spain representing a 39% increase in capacity over the last six years. It now ranks ahead of the United Kingdom, in first place. A remarkable achievement! So, how has Spain managed to recover so strongly?
\nGeography always plays an important role in any market and especially when water is involved! Scheduled air services to the Islands are crucial and account for one-third (11.9 million) of all domestic capacity , with large domestic markets in both the Balearic and Canary Islands. Not surprisingly the Spanish domestic market of 35.4 million seats is the largest in Europe with Turkiye in second place and Italy in third spot; collectively these three country markets account for over half of domestic capacity in Western Europe.
\n \nSuccessful domestic capacity growth in these three countries is in stark contrast to the situation in France and Germany where domestic capacity has dramatically reduced; in Germany capacity is some 55% down on Summer 2019 and in France 24%. Operating profitable domestic services has always been challenging but it is possible, and the value of connecting traffic to larger longer-haul networks can be important in some cases.
\nSpain’s international capacity has increased by 15% since Summer 2019 with 5% more seats this year than in Summer 2024 as airlines continue to add capacity to the market. Intra-Western Europe capacity accounts for 80% of all capacity standing at 66 million seats, which is tracking at similar levels of growth as the wider market. Regional markets have developed strongly with capacity to North Africa up by 50% against Summer 2019 while Upper South America is 40% up; two developing markets with further potential opportunity for service in the coming years.
\nFew markets have embraced low-cost airlines as much as Spain, where the combination of leisure demand, required connectivity to the Islands and large diaspora from other points in Europe have responded to those lower airfares and new routes being opened. Nearly 60% of all capacity is operated by LCCs and while in 2019 LCCs already had the majority share, that has extended in recent years and within Western Europe a staggering 68% of all seats will be operated by Low-Cost Carriers.
\nRyanair will operate nearly a fifth of all capacity this Summer, with some 19.4 million seats planned, 40% more than they operated in Summer 2019. Collectively the two IAG airlines of Vueling and Iberia will operate 33 million seats, securing a 28% capacity share; intriguingly Vueling are the larger of the two IAG carriers operating some 18.2 million seats compared to the 14.8 million supplied by Iberia. In the international market, easyJet rank second to Ryanair but with “just” seven million seats on sale they have only one-third the capacity of their Irish competitor.
\nSeven of the ten largest markets from Spain this summer involve connectivity to one of the Island markets with Barcelona – Palma the largest at over 1.8 million seats scheduled for the summer. Generally capacity growth on the domestic Island routes has been modest since 2019; after all, when there are already over a million seats what additional demand can be created with new capacity? The only notable exception is Madrid – Tenerife North, with 18% growth over the six-year period.
\nAcross the mainland domestic services, and despite the very efficient AVE rail service, Madrid – Barcelona remains the largest with some one million planned seats, although this is almost half of the Summer 2019 level. Iberia with an 80% share and some 800,000 seats scheduled this summer are the largest carrier on the route despite having cut one third of capacity since Summer 2019. Vueling who were the second largest airline operating on the route have dropped out of the market, finding more lucrative uses for their capacity.
\nAnd finally, for anyone looking for a bargain airfare; with a 40% increase in capacity between Madrid and Rome in recent years there is probably some capacity and lower fares on offer, with both legacy and low-cost airlines competing head-to-head on the route.
\nIn summary, the Spanish aviation market has never been in a stronger position with a solid mix of business, leisure and VFR (Visiting Friends and Relatives) demand spread across both mainland domestic, inter-Island and international travel. And while the current economic news and its impact on consumer demand may result at some point in a future slowing down of recent growth rates, Europe’s airlines and airports are meeting at just the right time to discuss even more opportunities for Spanish development.

Operating profitable domestic services has always been challenging but it is possible, and the value of connecting traffic to larger longer-haul networks can be important in some cases.
\nSpain’s international capacity has increased by 15% since Summer 2019 with 5% more seats this year than in Summer 2024 as airlines continue to add capacity to the market. Intra-Western Europe capacity accounts for 80% of all capacity standing at 66 million seats, which is tracking at similar levels of growth as the wider market. Regional markets have developed strongly with capacity to North Africa up by 50% against Summer 2019 while Upper South America is 40% up; two developing markets with further potential opportunity for service in the coming years.
\nFew markets have embraced low-cost airlines as much as Spain, where the combination of leisure demand, required connectivity to the Islands and large diaspora from other points in Europe have responded to those lower airfares and new routes being opened. Nearly 60% of all capacity is operated by LCCs and while in 2019 LCCs already had the majority share, that has extended in recent years and within Western Europe a staggering 68% of all seats will be operated by Low-Cost Carriers.
\nRyanair will operate nearly a fifth of all capacity this Summer, with some 19.4 million seats planned, 40% more than they operated in Summer 2019. Collectively the two IAG airlines of Vueling and Iberia will operate 33 million seats, securing a 28% capacity share; intriguingly Vueling are the larger of the two IAG carriers operating some 18.2 million seats compared to the 14.8 million supplied by Iberia. In the international market, easyJet rank second to Ryanair but with “just” seven million seats on sale they have only one-third the capacity of their Irish competitor.
\nSeven of the ten largest markets from Spain this summer involve connectivity to one of the Island markets with Barcelona – Palma the largest at over 1.8 million seats scheduled for the summer. Generally capacity growth on the domestic Island routes has been modest since 2019; after all, when there are already over a million seats what additional demand can be created with new capacity? The only notable exception is Madrid – Tenerife North, with 18% growth over the six-year period.
\nAcross the mainland domestic services, and despite the very efficient AVE rail service, Madrid – Barcelona remains the largest with some one million planned seats, although this is almost half of the Summer 2019 level. Iberia with an 80% share and some 800,000 seats scheduled this summer are the largest carrier on the route despite having cut one third of capacity since Summer 2019. Vueling who were the second largest airline operating on the route have dropped out of the market, finding more lucrative uses for their capacity.
\nAnd finally, for anyone looking for a bargain airfare; with a 40% increase in capacity between Madrid and Rome in recent years there is probably some capacity and lower fares on offer, with both legacy and low-cost airlines competing head-to-head on the route.
\nIn summary, the Spanish aviation market has never been in a stronger position with a solid mix of business, leisure and VFR (Visiting Friends and Relatives) demand spread across both mainland domestic, inter-Island and international travel. And while the current economic news and its impact on consumer demand may result at some point in a future slowing down of recent growth rates, Europe’s airlines and airports are meeting at just the right time to discuss even more opportunities for Spanish development.
\n ","postBodyRss":"It looks like this summer will be the most successful yet for Europe’s airlines and airports, with record levels of capacity. The industry is looking forward to what should be a strong summer season before a perhaps more uncertain outlook for consumer confidence in the last quarter of the year.
\n\nWhile some European markets have struggled to recover to pre-pandemic capacity levels as a mix of regulatory and supply factors impact supply, Spain has accelerated away to become the single largest country market in Western Europe. Between now and the end of October some 118 million departing seats will be on sale from Spain representing a 39% increase in capacity over the last six years. It now ranks ahead of the United Kingdom, in first place. A remarkable achievement! So, how has Spain managed to recover so strongly?
\nGeography always plays an important role in any market and especially when water is involved!

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\nIn 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.
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 \nThe 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.
\nLooking 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 \nEnforced 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.

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\nIn 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.
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 \nThe 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.
\nLooking 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 \nEnforced 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.

\nFrom 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.
\nAs 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 \nThe 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 \nAs 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?

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.
\nThe 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.
\nThe 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.
\nWatch clip: John Grant on the effect of legacy airlines switching capacity to international markets.
\n \nThe 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.
\nWatch clip: 7% of the global airline fleet is out for maintenance, is this a high number?

\nThe 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.
\nThe 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.
\nWatch clip: John Grant on the effect of legacy airlines switching capacity to international markets.
\n \nThe 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.
\nWatch 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.
\nDethroning 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.
\nIn 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.
\nWe 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.
\nWith 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.
