Airlines: surviving in a changing world. CAPA's Hottest Airlines to Watch in 2011

24-Dec-10 1:19 PM

As the international airline industry evolves from a heavily protected, government-run activity into a commercial hybrid, individual airlines are confronted by massive challenges, each of them unique to the company concerned. At the same time, the industry overall remains constantly at risk from any number of external threats.

Chinese airline fleet to DOUBLE to 5,000 by 2015 - CAAC

22-Nov-10 2:41 PM

The CAAC has come out with an extraordinary prediction this month: Chinese airlines will nearly double their fleet size to as many as 5,000 aircraft by 2015. In the shadows of a major international air show on home soil, one might expect some bullish sentiment from the hosts. But the comment, by CAAC Head Li Jiaxiang, that the nation's domestic carriers will have an expected combined fleet of 4,800-5,000 aircraft in just five years (from 2,600 at present) is a breathtaking assessment. Even if it's only 50% accurate, aircraft manufacturers big and small are in for a bonanza.

Chinese airline consolidation: Second tier airlines in the sights of the 'Big Four'

29-Oct-10 4:57 PM

China’s fragmented airline industry is undergoing a shakeup. Merger and acquisition activity is intense – probably more so than any other aviation market in the world. In the space of a few short years, the majority of China’s second tier airlines have, at least partially, become owned or controlled by one of the "Big Three" carriers and/or HNA Group, as consolidation accelerates in China. In this report, CAPA reviews what’s fuelling the feeding frenzy and who the targets are.

CAPA’s hottest airlines to watch in 2011: China

1-Oct-10 5:02 PM

China's airlines were the first to experience difficulties during the recent downturn, stemming from a series of external events and natural disasters in China from early 2008. But they have been the first to recover, reporting spectacular growth rates from mid-2009 to the present.

Consolidation and high-speed rail squeezing out China’s second-tier carriers?

28-Jun-10 3:17 PM

China’s second-tier carriers are hard at work at present, rapidly expanding their domestic and (in some cases) international route networks. However, the vast majority of these airlines are now doing so under the control of the "Big Three" carriers and/or HNA Group, as consolidation accelerates in China. As such, China’s airline evolution is at a very interesting stage. Where previously the major airlines: 1) established considerable branch carrier networks to serve diverse geographic areas in China; and 2) eliminated brands of the acquired airlines, they now appear to be looking more strategically at segmenting the market, retaining the second-tier carrier brands, particularly those focused on tourism/leisure markets.
