On Monday anna.aero was ‘live’ at the World Low Cost Airline Congress in London, presenting detailed analysis of the network stability of 31 of the world’s leading LCCs. Download the presentation for free and also the bonus Excel file with a summary of all the data for all the airlines.
As if celebrations for the more than 100 routes that have been launched around the world last week wasn’t enough, airlines and airports have found more reasons to celebrate. Which low-cost airline passed the 50-millionth passenger mark with a huge “gracias!” painted on one of its aircraft? Which European airport celebrated 60 years of SAA services? And what are the odds that two sets of four-year-old twins in two different countries will happen to be your five- and ten-millionth passengers in one week?
Vueling now flies to Moscow Domodedovo Airport from Ibiza in the Mediterranean.
We all know about Ryanair grounding 80 aircraft last winter but by how much did other European LCCs cut their capacity between July 2011 and January 2012? How does this compare with the year before? And how much have Europe’s legacy carriers started to follow this behaviour?
Vueling has launched 21 new routes from its bases across Spain and from Paris Orly.
Vueling expands in the Netherlands with services from Barcelona to Groningen.
Vueling adds Cardiff, four new destinations in France, and two domestic routes from Barcelona.
Europe’s airline may be having a mixed time financially but that’s not stopping them exploring new routes this summer. We do some analysis at the over 500 new routes starting during the next three weeks to reveal which airline is starting the most new routes (no surprises here) and which country’s airports will be celebrating the most.
Interviewing an airline boss on a train may seem a bit strange but it’s how anna.aero recently got to chat with Vueling’s CEO during FrenchConnect. How much is the airline planning to grow this summer, what’s happening in Toulouse, and what does Alex Cruz think of what some of his former employees are doing at Iberia Express and Volotea?
Vueling launches new routes from Barcelona, Bilbao, Nantes and Paris Orly
Spanair’s much publicised bankruptcy has left Star Alliance without a Spanish carrier, but which member now has the biggest Spanish presence? Which airlines competed on Spanair’s top routes? And which route announcements had Spanair’s main competitor already made that targeted the weak airline?
