The Outlook for Global Capacity
For the annual CAPA Business Briefing, John Grant analyses the changes in global capacity, the North American market and how The Big Three can have a major influence in the market.
For CAPA - Centre of Aviation's Business Briefing event held in New York, OAG's Executive Vice President John Grant delivered a presentation outlining the outlook for capacity on a global scale.
In the analysis, John uncovers the influence of low-cost carriers, how capacity is changing the dynamics of the market and what to expect in the future. The topics covered include:
- Legacy versus low-cost capacity
Low-cost carriers will account for around 27% of global capacity this summer with Europe leading the charge at 36%. How much will this change when China and Africa are the only contestable markets available for LCCs?
- The exapansion of Chinese carriers and how the Middle East and US are reacting
Based on current growth rates we can expect China to become the largest market in the world based on capacity by 2022. How will the top country markets proceed?
- The discussion of the Big Three (or is it now Four?)
Direct services between the Middle East and North America have increased considerably
over the last 5 years. In four years the market has grown by 34%. Supply has increased, but has demand?
