• CAPA India Outlook 2012/13: Critical uncertainty prevails. Possible Air India shutdown
  23-May-2012

  Indian aviation is facing its most uncertain phase in more than a decade. After reporting an estimated record loss of just over USD2 billion[1] in the 12 months ended 31-Mar-2012, India’s airlines are facing an equally challenging year ahead. Weak balance sheets, increasing costs, regulatory uncertainty, a sluggish Indian economy and a difficult global environment will continue to pile the pressure on airlines, especially the poorer performing carriers. However, this may in turn create market opportunities to exploit for those that are better positioned. Some of the key highlights of the CAPA India Outlook 2012/13, to be released on 31-May-2012, include:

  - Indian domestic capacity growth of 7-8% in FY2012/13, traffic to grow 8-10%

  - India’s airlines expected to post a combined loss of USD1.3-1.4 billion

  - Jet Airways to prosper; major aircraft order expected

  - Kingfisher Airlines revival dependent on foreign airline investment

• 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.
