		<description><![CDATA[Award season is here. The time has come for the second annual Asian ANNIES, awarded to airports and airlines for their route development achievements in the Asia-Pacific region. But which airport takes the most awards? Which airline has launched the most long-haul routes? And which is the biggest new airline in the region? Award season is here. Worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as the Oscars, Grammy Awards and the Golden Globes is of course anna.aero’s ANNIE prizes.

		<description><![CDATA[This morning’s announcement that Malév ceased operations leads us to analyse how a Malév sized ‘hole’ at Budapest Airport might be filled. Which destinations did Malév have a monopoly on? What proportion of the airline’s capacity did that represent, and which carriers might be interested in taking over these routes? Malév&#8217;s cessation of operations today begs the question of what the route network implications are for Budapest Airport. During the current winter season, Malév has accounted for just over 42% of Budapest’s scheduled traffic, operating to 43 destinations non-stop. On 21 of these routes (accounting for 65% of Malév’s weekly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So Alitalia has proposed in principle to merge with two smaller Italian airlines. At which airports will Alitalia grow its market share the most? And which major domestic route might cause competition authorities to worry as the current choice of three carriers (each with at least three daily flights) would be replaced by a monopoly? The recent announcement that Alitalia plans to absorb fellow Italian carriers Blue Panorama and Wind Jet will help the national carrier to gain market share, while at the same time removing two domestic competitors. Last year saw Alitalia&#8217;s fleet of 144 aircraft transport almost 25 [...]]]></description>

Which airlines competed on Spanair’s top routes? And which route announcements had Spanair’s main competitor already made that targeted the weak airline? So who gains from the demise of the Spanish-based Star Alliance member Spanair? The airline was not that long ago the second-largest at both Madrid and Barcelona airports. However, in just a few years, Spanair’s reduced operations from Madrid had seen it slide from second to sixth place, while at Barcelona, its passenger numbers grew by almost [...]]]></description>

What market share does it already have in Barcelona and what makes it different from the other LCCs serving the airport? Which destinations are new this summer and what competition will Vueling face? And at which airports is it cutting capacity this summer? If we’re not mistaken, anna.aero has calculated that fast-growing Vueling should be carrying its 50-millionth passenger any time now. We also apologise in case of any unintentional confusion over the age of Vueling’s eternally-youthful CEO, Alex Cruz. He is, of course, only 43.

		<description><![CDATA[We all know competition is a good thing, right? But can you have too much of a good thing? Just ask India&#8217;s airlines. The world&#8217;s fifth busiest domestic market has grown by 18% this year but which six major domestic routes are served by all seven domestic airlines? And which are the biggest routes that are still a monopoly? The Indian domestic market is booming. In the first 10 months of this year passenger numbers are up 18.3% (Source: DGCA India) to 49.6 million, thus firmly establishing it as the fifth biggest domestic air travel market in the world, based [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So which are the biggest low-cost airline bases in Europe? We rank them both in terms of destinations served and number of flights offered. Which other carriers apart from easyJet and Ryanair make it into the top 12? Which airport/airline combinations make it into only one of the two rankings? Non-identical twins: Ryanair&#8217;s London Stansted base is the biggest measured by routes (94 versus 69)&#8230;but easyJet at Gatwick is much bigger when measured by weekly departures (735 versus 631)&#8230;however, because of different aircraft sizes, the number of weekly seats offered is almost identical with the difference being less than 1%!

		<description><![CDATA[It was widely reported that entrepreneurs in Iceland announced another new low-cost airline last week. But in this anna.aero analysis we dig a little deeper to discover that WOW air&#8217;s aircraft rotation plan allows for up to five more unexploited new route opportunities. European airports wishing to be part of a rush to Iceland in the footsteps of Lufthansa, easyJet and others should move PDQ. Iceland&#8217;s air transport industry is much bigger than it&#8217;s 329,000 population, but there is no comparison with the $85 billion collapse of its three main banks in 2008 &#8211; tourism is a far more sustainable business and central to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The UK government is apparently waking up to the importance of aviation as an enabler of economic growth. But what are the difficulties of proposing an all-new estuary airport as the solution? What can be learnt from the recently published results of last year&#8217;s CAA passenger surveys which included all London airports? Tide turns for Thames airport? Serious newspapers, as well as the tabloids, are claiming there is government support for a new London airport. Surprise! After campaigning on a platform that insisted that London Heathrow&#8217;s cheap-to-build third runway would not be realised, and claiming aviation growth in the south-east [...]]]></description>

At the recent Dubai Air Show Emirates announced what it described as the single largest order in dollar value in Boeing&#8217;s history (for up to 70 777-300ERs valued at US$26 billion). This confirms that the biggest of the Middle East&#8217;s Big 3 (MEB3) carriers, just like local [...]]]></description>
