UK airports cater for LCCs while package vacation demand decreases but supply increases

13-Oct-11 2:40 PM

The expression ‘mixed messages’ is often banded around in the air transport business. There is a clear case of it in the UK right now where many airports are behaving as if there is little future for the traditional package holiday delivered by dedicated charter airlines while at the same time the LCCs, who were supposed to supplant the charter airlines with their FIT-friendly offer, are increasingly turning to the package vacation in order to differentiate themselves from the opposition and to appease growing demand from their customers.

Flybe CEO, Jim French flybe to list on London exchange; sights set on further European growth

2-Dec-10 10:06 AM

flybe, Europe’s largest regional airline and the UK’s largest domestic airline, announced its much-awaited and delayed plans to list on the London Stock Exchange (FLYB.LN) following an IPO to finance its fleet expansion and acquisition strategy. The offer is expected to raise GBP60 million, which is generally less than expected, valuing the carrier at an estimated GBP200 million.

‘Old faithful’ Monarch puts its faith in Spain

13-Aug-10 7:55 PM

The British scheduled and charter airline Monarch has announced its winter flying programme for 2010-11, with plans to add frequencies on existing key scheduled routes and add new services. Monarch has established its scheduled division, Monarch Scheduled, previously known as Gold Crown, as one of the major operators of flights to the Mediterranean despite having adjusted its service offer in accordance with low-cost competition, much to the annoyance of some of its original clients.

Flybe CEO, Jim French “Flybe to the Moon...” Behind the UK airline's massive Embraer order

21-Jul-10 10:36 AM

Flybe has propelled itself into a whole new ballgame, following a "substantial" agreement with Embraer to purchase up to 140 88-seat E175 and E-family aircraft, with the first delivery (of the firm orders) scheduled for Sep-2011 through Mar-2017. The order comprises 35 (firm) E175 aircraft valued at USD1.3 billion, 65 options (USD2.3 billion) and 40 purchase rights (USD1.4 billion – making USD5 billion in total). The carrier says this "provides a platform for Flybe’s expansion into Continental Europe.” Having once been given little chance of success as a too-vaguely defined ‘hybrid’ airline, Flybe now claims to be Europe’s largest regional airline and the UK’s largest domestic airline with over 25% market share. It is now set to export a proven business model into continental western Europe. The big question is: as it pokes its nose above the radar, can Flybe sustain the inevitable added competition?

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.

European LCCs gain passengers, while network carriers lose passengers, in 2009

16-Mar-10 2:10 PM

The European Low Fare Airline Association (EFLAA) stated its 11 members (Blue Air, bmibaby, easyJet, Flybe, Jet2.com, Norwegian, Ryanair, SverigeFlyg, transaviation.com, Vueling and Wizz Air) carried 162.5 million passengers in 2009, an 8.7% year-on-year increase, equating to an additional 13 million passengers in the year.
