• 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

• Oman Air reports record passengers, but also record losses
  19-Apr-2012

  2011 was another expensive year for Oman Air. The carrier reported a record loss of OMR110 million (USD286 million) in 2011, a year that saw the carrier dealing with ballooning oil prices, regional political unrest and some problems with its own workforce.

  This is the fourth consecutive annual loss suffered by the carrier. Since the Oman Government took majority ownership in early 2007, the airline has lost a staggering OMR295 million (USD766.9 million). The losses have not been surprising to anyone; the carrier and Government intentionally planned to ramp up expansion in the fast-growing market and then concentrate on profitability, taking the long-term view that setting the foundation blocks early – even if at a loss for some years ­– would yield a healthier profit in the future.
