		<description><![CDATA[Air travel is booming in many parts of the Middle East, including Syria. Which are the leading country markets and which are the leading airlines serving the country? And where does private carrier Cham Wings fly to? Syria’s capital Damascus claims to be the oldest constantly inhabited city in the world. The country (which shares borders with Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey) has a population of around 22 million people and has five airports with scheduled services (according to OAG) of which the largest by far is Damascus Airport. The airport currently sees around 400 weekly departures to over [...]]]></description>

View 46 much-desired routes from five Croatian Airports Dubrovnik Airport Osijek Airport Pula Airport Zadar Airport Zagreb Airport Back in October 2007 when anna.aero last examined the air travel market in Croatia, the country’s three major airports at Dubrovnik, Split and Zagreb were all growing rapidly.

How dominant is Kiev, and which carriers have started new routes since the beginning of 2009? And what sporting event will boost traffic in 2012? When anna.aero last looked at the air travel market in the Ukraine in June 2008 the country was about to welcome its first low-cost airline services (from Wizz Air). The carrier launched flights on 11 July 2008 from Kiev Borispol airport and has since served (at one time or another) 14 destinations, including three domestic ones. This helped [...]]]></description>

What are the country’s air links like and what fleet does Air Namibia operate? And what’s so special about Swakopmund? Namibia, in south-west Africa, is the world’s 34th largest country (two-thirds the size of neighbouring South Africa) and yet has a population of just 2.1 million people. As a result, its population density is lower than even Australia and Iceland and just about the lowest on the planet. The capital, Windhoek, is served by two airports. The delightfully-named Eros is just [...]]]></description>

Which carriers are present and which two long-haul destinations are served non-stop? Unlike its more illustrious footballing neighbours Argentina and Brazil, Uruguay managed to qualify for the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa by beating Ghana in the quarter-finals. With an estimated population of just three and a half million people (compared with 40 million in Argentina and 193 million in Brazil) its civil aviation activities are also correspondingly less [...]]]></description>

We take a closer look at Accra airport. As Ghana celebrates being the only African nation to make it through to the last eight of the FIFA World Cup currently being held in South Africa, the nation’s main international visitor gateway at Kotoka International Airport in Accra has recently welcomed new services from United Airlines (daily flights to Washington Dulles since 20 June) and Virgin Atlantic (three weekly flights to London Heathrow since [...]]]></description>

Which country markets (and airlines) are growing (and shrinking) this summer? This week sees the 7th annual FrenchConnect conference take place in Lourdes, so this week’s anna.aero consequently takes a closer look at recent developments in the French market and what actions can be taken to create a more vibrant and competitive future. According to the federation of French airports, passenger numbers at the nation’s airports fell just under 4% last year, which was a smaller fall than witnessed by [...]]]></description>

What impact have LCCs had on the domestic market? With the FIFA World Cup getting under way in South Africa this week (the host nation drew its first match 1-1 against Mexico), the demand for air travel to and from the country from many of the participating nations is likely to see a surge in June and July.

Which are the leading international markets and which are the leading carriers on international routes? As one of the much touted BRIC nations (along with Brazil, India and China), the demand for air travel is often a good indicator of economic development. Last year, Russian air travel was down significantly in the first half of the year, before stabilising in the second half. However, in 2010, traffic is growing rapidly once more.

And who remembers Columbus-based Skybus? Sometimes nicknamed “the birthplace of aviation” because the Wright Brothers were based in Dayton, Ohio ranks as the seventh most populous state in the USA (with around 11.5 million people), despite being only the 34th largest. Its three biggest cities are Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus, each of which is served by a major airport though the airport serving Cincinnati is technically in Northern Kentucky.

Which are the leading country markets? Being a relatively small, remote island, air transport plays a vital role in sustaining and developing the Icelandic economy. Ironically, the recent volcanic eruption, which resulted in much of European airspace being closed for several days, had less impact on the island’s own airports. Iceland’s main international airport at Keflavik serves the capital Reykjavik, although Reykjavik has its own airport suitable only for domestic flights. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Mediterranean island nation with only one airport has had a flat traffic development over the last decade, but Europe’s biggest LCC will establish a base in May. Which are the main country markets serving Malta? And which airline offers wide-body services? The small island nation of Malta is the setting of the current ACI EUROPE Airport Trading Conference and Exhibition. Although the country has only 415,000 inhabitants, its tourist appeal and isolated location makes it highly dependent on air services.

At the same time, the capital’s airport also has a new name – and has kept it. New aircraft arriving with both the national carrier and the independents are improving the quality and speed of routes to this big country of 160 million with a large overseas population and high propensity to travel.

Which are the leading airlines at the country’s main airport serving the capital Sofia and who, apart from Wizz Air, is adding new routes in 2010? Passenger demand at Bulgaria’s three main international airports trebled from 2.2 million in 2000 to over 6.6 million in 2008 before falling by 9% in 2009 to just over six million. Growth since 2004 has focussed mostly on Sofia while traffic to the Black Sea ‘summer sun’ destinations of Bourgas and Varna (both now operated by Fraport) has not grown anything like as quickly.

Similar in size to Spain, but with a population of approximately five million, it shares borders with Afghanistan, Iran, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan as well as having a coastline along the Caspian Sea.

Which connections are missing and what&#8217;s wrong with Dresden and Leipzig? Um himmels willen! (Roughly &#8220;for skies&#8217; sake!&#8221;) Why are there no London services to lovely Leipzig? (Yes Ryanair, we know you fly from Stansted to &#8220;Leipzig-Altenburg&#8221; airport.) Thanks to Uwe Schossig for this shot of Leipzig&#8217;s new central terminal and new Runway North. After anna.aero&#8217;s recent analysis of scheduled services to major European cities from UK regional airports, this week a similar analysis is done for German regional [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new US &#8211; Japan bilateral agreement promises to open up competition across the Pacific. How has traffic between these two major economies fared over the last 20 years and which are the leading airlines and airports involved. Preparing to go international (again). The new Japan-US bilateral allows for a limited number of daily flights into Tokyo Haneda where, despite congestion, there should be slots to go with this agreement: A fourth 2,500m &#8220;Runway D&#8221; is under construction (allowing movements to rise from 296,000 to 407,000) while a new &#8220;International Terminal&#8221; opens in October 2010. The only current international flights [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Slovakia has lost its de facto national carrier SkyEurope, but how has traffic developed and who have filled the void? How many routes have been started in the last year and by whom? The Slovakian market may be down on last year, but Ryanair does not scale down. The airline now has a 60% share of the whole country&#8217;s seat capacity, in spite of only serving Bratislava. In May, Ryanair transported its two millionth passenger from the airport (Tina Anzinger from Austria, centre), as is seen being celebrated here. Having lost its former national carrier ČSA to the Czech Republic, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Saudi Arabia is home to two low-cost carriers, Nas Air and Sama. How did their emergence impact traffic figures at the nation&#8217;s airports? Which are the leading international airlines and which are the leading country markets for international flights? Everyone benefits: Liberalisation has ended Saudi Arabian Airlines&#8217; monopoly, but the national carrier is now more efficient as a result of competition with the low-cost upstarts. In a country where there are 27 airports with scheduled, commercial operations, Saudi Arabia&#8217;s aviation market is difficult to get a full picture of. Nearly 90% of the country&#8217;s 42.2 million airport passengers are, however, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spain&#8217;s Canary Islands have not had a good 2009 so far, but this winter Europe&#8217;s LCCs have added over 60 new services. Which are the Islands&#8217; leading airlines, what&#8217;s the seasonality profile and which are the leading country markets? Located over 1,100 kilometres south of mainland Spain, and between 100 and 500 kilometres west of the Central Moroccan coastline, the Canary Islands have long been a popular destination for Northern European leisure travellers, especially those from the UK and Germany. Passenger numbers at the five main airports serving the seven main islands have grown relatively slowly in recent years as [...]]]></description>
