Middle Eastern LCCs driving growth into Eastern Europe, Russia and CIS

13-Oct-11 10:23 AM

Russia, the CIS nations and Central and Eastern Europe have been receiving a great deal of attention from Middle East-based carriers in recent months. Full service and low-cost carriers have announced or added a flurry of routes into Eastern European destinations over the past few weeks. Airlines in the Middle East are looking to tap into the underserved region, which is still showing strong economic growth despite troubles in several European markets and strong growth in business and tourism traffic.

Homegrown LCCs Air Arabia and flydubai are leading a push into the regions, but so too is Qatar Airways. Additionally, Oman Air plans to launch services to Moscow. While Middle Eastern carriers have long dominated traffic into western Europe, they now comprise the majority of traffic between the Middle East and central Europe, eastern Europe, Russia and CIS.

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.

European and Middle East carriers fighting for market share on Europe-Middle East route

28-Oct-10 5:07 PM

European carriers are becoming increasingly concerned by the Middle East airline threat on their core international businesses. CEOs from British Airways, Air France and Lufthansa have all voiced their opinions lately, as Middle East airlines continue to expand their global networks. But the European flag carriers are not standing idly by. Several are rapidly expanding their presence in the Middle East, to maintain and/or grow their share of this promising market. Emirates is the clear market leader, with a 21.0% share of capacity on Middle East-Europe routes. Qatar Airways is the second largest, with 8.7%, while Lufthansa, British Airways and Air France have just 5.6%, 3.5% and 2.7% shares, respectively.

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.

Flughafen Wien fights to halt traffic decline on key routes; negative three & nine-month financials

24-Nov-09 3:35 PM

Austria’s Flughafen Wien Group, parent of Vienna International Airport, has released its financial report for the three and nine month periods ending 30-Sep-2009. A sea of minus signs mean neither makes for comfortable reading. Traffic in the key eastern European market has collapsed. However, a more favourable set of passenger and cargo figurers in Oct-09 permit some hope. The VIE-Skylink construction remains suspended.
