Turkey’s air transport market is going from strength to strength. Airport traffic is booming and its two major airlines are both reporting double-digit growth. But which two airports have swopped places in the top 12 rankings? And which airlines have already announced what new routes to and from Turkey this summer?
Airbus has out-delivered Boeing every year since 2003 and the trend continued in 2011. But what’s the new monthly best for A380 production? Which airline received the 7000th 737 ever built? And why could Airbus have taken most of December off?
All the leading US carriers have now reported traffic data for December. Which airlines are still growing? How do the GUS4 carriers compare by geographic region? Which airlines saw the biggest change in its December load factor and how many airlines had fuller aircraft in December than in November?
Data for November shows few major changes at US airlines. US Airways was the only GUS4 airline to grow its RPMs versus a year ago, but how quickly are the likes of Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines growing? How do load factors compare with a year ago? And how do they compare with a month ago?
UK airports have had a difficult year but international traffic is up 5%. Which markets have seen the biggest volume increase (and decrease) and which major markets have seen the highest growth in 2011? And who is responsible for the UK – Estonian market more than doubling this year?
Ahead of next week’s anna.aero report from an on-site visit to the Boeing factory hosted by airberlin, we take a look at the October deliveries for the American aircraft manufacturer and its European competitor Airbus.

But which airlines have gained (and lost) most market share of demand between August and October? Who has the highest (and lowest) load factors and punctuality? Which airports are seeing international traffic grow fastest?
Despite a sluggish economy the biggest US airlines are making money thanks to commendable and previously unheard of capacity restraint. But which smaller, niche carriers reported demand growth in October? How did load factors compare with last year? How did load factors compare with last month?
Canada’s major airports are experiencing a solid, if unspectacular 2011. Most are growing, but not by much. But how does each major airport’s growth vary by geographic region, and which airport recently opened a brand new terminal designed by a globally-famous architect?
Mexican air travel reported great year-on-year growth in September but are passenger numbers back up to the pre-recession levels of 2007? What share of the domestic market do LCCs have and which new international services launched in September and October?
The struggling UK economy is not helping the country’s airports. Although passenger number are up marginally this summer compared to last, the leading airports in each geographic region have reported a range of results. Who’s doing better than average and who’s struggling this summer?
