Arkefly to expand low-cost long-haul network to US West Coast

15-Mar-12 10:07 AM

Dutch carrier Arkefly is expanding its network to the US west coast with three new seasonal destinations, signalling the potential it sees in the relatively undeveloped low-cost long-haul trans-Atlantic market. Until now Arkefly’s US network was limited to the east coast. The airline is also planning expansion to Southeast Asia which could fill some of the void left by AirAsia X in the Europe-Asia low-cost long-haul market.

Arkefly is a low-cost carrier based at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and is owned by Germany’s TUI Group, which has a portfolio of airlines following primarily leisure carrier or hybrid leisure/LCC models. Arkefly operates a mix of scheduled and charter services with both narrowbody and widebody aircraft. Its charters are primarily for Dutch tour operator and sister company Arke, which is also owned by TUI. Other TUI Group carriers include TUIfly (Germany and Austria), TUIfly Nordic (Sweden), Thomson Airways (UK), Corsairfly (France) and Jetairfly (Belgium).

Germany: A dynamic market in which consolidation activity features strongly

21-Jan-10 5:34 PM

The German aviation market is a dynamic one, dominated by European giant, Lufthansa, and its host of subsidiaries, and also featuring Europe’s third largest LCC, Air Berlin, which has, like Lufthansa, also been pursuing an acquisition strategy. The market also features an assortment of smaller LCCs, regional airlines and charter carriers. The airline market is increasingly vibrant, but it was not always so. Dominated, as it still is, by Lufthansa and its satellites, competition was severely constrained until the late 1990s, when serious competition started to arrive in the form of new airlines, delivered a new scope of life under European Union principles of open skies.
