In 2024, 28 new airlines started operations, while 19 airlines ceased flying. This marks the lowest number in a decade for both new entrants and exits, which may signal a temporary market stabilization. Looking back at 2024 and the past decade, Europe and Asia-Pacific emerged as the leading regions for new airline launches. This can be explained by the market liberalization and the robust economic growth respectively. In contrast, North America saw a relatively small number of new operators, reflecting its status as a mature and consolidated market.

Aviation plays a critical role in the global economy. Consider this: In 2023 alone, the world’s #airlines collectively transported 4.4 billion passengers to airports all over the globe and carried 61.4 million tonnes of freight. To enable this activity, according to the latest ATAG Aviation Benefits Beyond Borders report, the industry supported a total of 87 million jobs and added USD 4.1 trillion of economic activity, equivalent to 3.9% of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP). To put that into context, if #aviation were a country, it would rank 5th in size by GDP, similar to the size of Japan or India. Aviation serves as the only rapid global transportation network, making it indispensable for international business and #tourism. It plays a crucial role in driving economic growth and prosperity, particularly in developing countries, and is vital for the global distribution of goods, wealth, and #employment. The industry generates #jobs, facilitates #trade, and stimulates #tourism, among other benefits.

When it comes to transport, multimodal is word being spoken of quite a bit in Brussels at the moment. ✈️ 🚆 🚌 Tomorrow, the European Commission will host a workshop on the proposals on Single Digital Booking and Ticketing (SDBTR) and Multimodal Digital Mobility Services (MDMS). It will focus on the new impact assessment study, covering its methodology, timeline, and key policy objectives. For airlines, finding a way to connect modes of transport as seamlessly as possible is a worthwhile goal. But before rushing to legislate and offering what look like quick fix solutions, we need to make sure we're tackling the actual challenges that make achieving this goal difficult. Strengthening what already works and overcoming those challenges can go a long way in improving multimodal transport. A4E has looked at what makes integrating rail and air travel difficult. On top that, we've identified gaps between modes of transport for when things go wrong, something that is critically important to ensure seamless multimodal transport. Take a look below. 👇 #Multimodality #EUTransport #MDMS #SDBTR

Jaký byl rok 2024 z pohledu čísel? ✈️ 📊 Za rok 2024 prošlo Letištěm Václava Havla Praha dohromady 16 353 522 cestujících a bylo vykonáno 134 609 startů a přistání letadel. Počet cestujících meziročně vzrostl o 18 %. V loňském roce jsme ve spolupráci s leteckými dopravci zprovoznili 41 nových linek a celkem nabídli přímé spojení do 181 destinací. 🌏 „Počet cestujících za rok 2024 je třetí nejvyšší v historii, což je velmi pozitivní zpráva například pro ekonomiku České republiky. Mne navíc těší, že letadla létala s vysokou obsazeností – v průměru přes 83 %. Větší a obsazenější letadla znamenají nižší zatížení našeho okolí a celkově životního prostředí,“ přibližuje Jiří Pos, předseda představenstva Letiště Praha, a doplňuje: „V roce 2025 bychom měli dosáhnout historického rekordu 18,4 milionu odbavených cestujících. Stojí za tím systematická práce v oblasti rozvoje leteckých spojení s Evropou i světem, konkurenceschopnost v oblasti poplatkové politiky a pobídkových programů a provozní podmínky Letiště Praha. Během loňska se podařilo otevřít 41 nových linek, u 66 linek jsme pak dosáhli navýšení frekvence letů.“ V letošním roce se z Prahy začne létat do nových dálkových destinací, jako je Abú Dhabí (letecká společnost Etihad) či Toronto (letecká společnost Air Canada). Potvrzen je i příchod dalších nových dopravců – jihokorejská letecká společnost Asiana Airlines bude provozovat pravidelnou linku do Soulu a německá letecká společnost Condor Flugdienst GmbH bude pravidelně létat do Frankfurtu nad Mohanem. Nabídku destinací bychom měli letos navýšit na více než 190, jednotlivé trasy bude obsluhovat zhruba 80 leteckých společností. Budeme rádi, když nám zachováte přízeň i v roce 2025. Tak vzhůru do oblak za novými cestovatelskými zážitky 🗺️ 😊

ERA Board member Jasmin Bajic, CEO of Croatia Airlines makes a very important point in this interview about how regulation can disproportionally affect smaller airlines. "We are critical to connectivity," he says of his airline, "But we are more vulnerable to poor regulation and escalating costs .... There should be a greater understanding of our operating circumstances." ERA represents the interests of regional airlines, ensuring their collective voice is heard by policymakers, and that their unique circumstances and vital contribution are taken into consideration when regulations are being developed.
