UK airports record strong summer and first half, but charter carriers face up to new realities

14-Sep-11 2:51 PM

The UK’s major airports have reported a surprisingly upbeat summer season, with the country’s largest airport operator BAA setting a new passenger traffic record. London Luton, Gatwick, City and Manchester have also posted encouraging results this year, as the country shifted back into growth mode after a difficult few years. But BAA has warned that the better times could to be coming to an end, with a weaker-than-expected growth outlook for the remainder of the year.

Air Malta troubles worsen as unions flex muscle and LCCs grow

8-Jul-11 3:42 PM

Air Malta’s troubles have become more acute as the struggling carrier’s unions increase their opposition to large-scale redundancies. Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi has stated the present situation is increasingly worrying, particularly in light of the EUR77 million the government has poured into the airline since Jun-2011.

Monarch moves as UK charter traffic continues long decline

14-Jun-11 4:45 PM

Monarch Airlines, the London Luton-based airline, recently announced it would move more aggressively into the scheduled market from 2012. Monarch, originally a charter airline, has played in both the charter and scheduled markets in recent years, as demand for charter traffic has waned due to the aggressive expansion of LCCs in the UK.

easyJet report paints bleak picture of APD effects

23-May-11 10:39 AM

British LCC easyJet commissioned research on the UK government’s proposed changes to the already punitive Air Passenger Duty (APD). It paints a bleak picture in which the already tumbling UK air passenger figures drop by a further 3 million p/a, incoming tourist spending reduces by GBP475 million a year and 77,000 jobs are lost. It is a warning to all countries that have upped their aviation taxes, or intend to, although it looks as if the Irish government’s decision to withdraw its tourist tax might become permanent.

Global Airport Development Conference delivers upbeat outlook

6-Dec-10 9:38 AM

The 17th annual Global Airport Development (GAD) conference and attendant Investing in Airports summit were held in Dublin, Ireland, from 15 to 18-Nov-2010, attracting around 230 speakers and delegates at the main conference.

London City Airport - a marketable proposition?

10-Nov-10 5:24 PM

Amidst the turmoil surrounding the sale of London Gatwick Airport last year and the Oct-2010 Court of Appeal ruling that confirms the sale of Stansted Airport, it is often overlooked that Greater London and the southeast of England is home to at least seven commercial airports serving the catchment area. One of them, London City Airport – LCY - (the only one actually within London) has been arguably the most successful in recent years in terms of passenger traffic growth. There is a suggestion that it could be sold off in 2011 by its majority owner GIP, which now has London Gatwick airport in its portfolio as a competitor to London Heathrow. What benefits might LCY offer to an investor now?
