		<description><![CDATA[The Colombian airline in AviancaTACA prepares for long-haul expansion with large widebody orders, but which of its markets is currently growing the fastest?

Which country, which the airline only began serving in 2010, is now its largest international market? What aircraft does the airline have on order and where will it expand its network further? Hawaiian Airlines ranks as the ninth largest airline in the US, if counting United/Continental and Southwest/AirTran as merged airlines. Hawaiian, which features in the opening credits for the relaunched version of the TV series Hawaii Five-0, is thereby the only major US airline to be based in a single state. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another Chinese carrier is set to join the SkyTeam alliance in 2012, but at which airports is the airline strong. How have passenger numbers developed in recent years and how many of the routes it operates (and airports that it serves) are outside of mainland China? And how big does the carrier hope to be by 2015? Last week in Rome, at an official ceremony, China&#8217;s Xiamen Airlines was formally invited into the SkyTeam alliance, with full membership expected by the end of 2012. The airline will be helped by China Southern Airlines, which owns 60% of the airline, and [...]]]></description>

But what does Precision Air offer Qatar Airways? How dominant is it in the domestic market, how extensive is its regional network and how diverse is its fleet? Last week&#8217;s announcement that Qatar Airways had inked an interline agreement with Precision Air has helped raise the global awareness of the Tanzanian carrier. It began scheduled operations in 1999 and currently operates a fleet of two 737-300s (116 seats), five ATR 72-500s (70 seats) and four ATR 42s (48 seats). According to the [...]]]></description>

How many countries will Lufthansa then serve non-stop from Berlin? And how many of the &#8216;new&#8217; destinations have already been served by Lufthansa&#8217;s LCC germanwings from Berlin this summer? It seemed inevitable that sooner or later, Lufthansa would have to respond to the opening of a new single airport to serve the German capital by considerably expanding its route network from the city, which up until now had consisted almost entirely of domestic routes.

And what milestone for the airline takes place this coming weekend? Ural Airlines ranks as Russia’s sixth-largest airline by scheduled seat capacity. At its home airport, Ekaterinburg Koltsovo Airport (SVX), the airline dominates with a 40% share of seats, but the airline’s seat capacity on offer out of its second-largest airport, Moscow Domodedovo (DME), is only 14% lower.
