• More subdued outlook for China in short term but some mighty changes afoot
  18-Apr-2012

  The year of the dragon, 2012, is typically the mightiest of the Chinese signs, symbolising dominance and ambition; consequently this should be a time for making a large leap forward. However, indicators and performance in the first few months of 2012 suggest a more subdued outlook, at least on the surface with recent commentary coming out of China revealing a tone of caution and concern, a foreboding situation given the previous robustness of demand in the country. Yet below the surface, there are indeed some mighty changes afoot. Liberalisation and economic growth are laying the foundation for a rapid acceleration, for aviation overall, but more particularly for a new generation of airlines, most of which did not exist a decade ago.

• Asia Pacific airlines' "ambitious fleet plans" threaten excess capacity, lower load factors in 2012
  27-Jan-2012

  Asia Pacific airlines are coming off a difficult 2011, thanks to stubbornly high fuel prices and weaker yields in a challenging global economic environment. But not all the problems are necessarily external. Overcapacity is looming as a threat in 2012 as the region's full service airlines gear up for a period of growth and change in the coming decade. Balancing capacity and demand in choppy and unpredictable economic times is not easy and the coming year looks like being one in which at least temporary oversupply is very likely.

  Record aircraft delivery levels are being maintained even as traffic growth slows. The upshot of that combination of factors is lower load factors and reduced yields, made more notable as the finance sector - a key user of premium services - is undergoing sometimes savage staff cutbacks. That in turn implies damage to airlines' bottom lines in what is now an intensely competitive market, with low cost airlines, Gulf carriers and Chinese airlines each vying for larger shares of markets which were historically the territory of the region's flag carriers.
