  What a difference two years can make. After a dismal 2009 and 2010, Jazeera Airways Group has spent the past 24 months undergoing one of the most comprehensive restructuring and turn-around programmes in the industry, transforming its results from deep losses to record profits and marking out a clear path for a sustainable future, aided by its higher-margin Sahaab leasing division that generated 52% of profits in 2011.

  Following expansion and development since the carrier launched in Oct-2005, Jazeera had been forced to abandon its second base at Dubai and was struggling in its home market at Kuwait. The local market, opened up by the Kuwait government with its open skies policy, was characterised by overcapacity, low load factors and stagnant yields. During 2009, 44% of all seats operating into Kuwait were unfilled. In 2010, 51% were empty.

• Aeroflot goal of 36% Russian market share by 2015 seems achievable following string of acquisitions
  12-Jan-2012

  Russia’s largest passenger carrier Aeroflot is entering 2012 with a clear aim in sight of achieving 36% market share in Russia by 2015 and 40% market share by 2020. This goal is looking increasingly achievable as the planned takeover of more Russian regional carriers will give it a 33% share of capacity in the market.

  Fleet expansion at Aeroflot is planned to ensure further increases in market share over the next several years. The flag carrier’s outlook for 2012 and beyond is also looking bright after recording strong results for the nine months ending Sep-2011.

  Aeroflot initially revealed on Oct-2011 plans to increase its market share to 36.3% by 2015, 40.4% by 2020 and 45.4% by 2025. To meet these goals, Aeroflot is increasing its expenditure over the next several years. In 2012, there will be further aircraft acquisitions and network development, both internationally and domestically.
