Eastern Airways' expansion moves it up the ladder

7-Oct-10 1:30 PM

Better known as an operator of Jetstream 41 models – it is the largest in the world with 20 in service – Eastern has been bucking the economic trend during the past two years by acquiring new aircraft, opening new routes and expanding organically and, latterly, inorganically, through its acquisition of Air Southwest.

The state of the industry (and green populism) prompted UK Transport Secretary Philip Hammond, in late Jun-2010, to comment that domestic flying in the UK “will become, in time, a thing of the past”, with air services to be increasingly replaced by fast trains. Airlines, including British Airways, Ryanair and flybe quickly rejected the comments.

Second tier LCCs playing major role in reshaping European aviation (Part 1)

9-Jul-10 5:11 PM

European LCCs, led by Ryanair, easyJet and Air Berlin, commanded 32% of intra-Europe capacity (seats) in 2009, representing spectacular growth from just 4.6% less than 10 years ago in 2001 and a 20.2% share in 2005. But the 'big three' are just part of the story. This special two-part CAPA report looks beyond the headline-grabbing 'big three' European LCCs to provide updates on more than 20 of Europe’s secondary LCCs. Part I reviews Air Southwest, Anadolujet, Atlasjet Airlines, Belle Air, Blue Express, Blue Air, bmibaby, CLICK4SKY, Flybe, Germanwings, Iceland Express and Jet2.com, while Part II (coming soon) will review the progress at Monarch, NIKI, Pegasus Airlines, SkyExpress, Smart Wings, Sun Express, Sverigeflyg, Thomson Airways, Transavia.com, TUIFly, Wind Jet and Wizz Air.
