UK Airlines reopen
British Airways – Eastern – easyJet – Loganair
It’s been a good week for scheduled airline capacity worldwide with nearly 60 carriers relaunching services.
According to OAG, capacity has bounced into June with 5.7m seats added week on week, some 267,000 additional flights are scheduled to operate this week representing a near 16% increase on last week through a combination of the returning carriers and some growth.
Demand now becomes the crucial issue for all airlines in the recovery phase and again there are indications of some growth in search and booking activity in both the Chinese domestic market, for Europe and particularly Italy. Despite that do not be surprised to see short notice cancellations and capacity adjustments in the coming weeks.
