1 Airlines 2013 - Market Report
Bharat Bok Bureau
2Summary
- According to Key Notes 2012 Airlines Market
Report, operating revenue generated by UK
airlines increased by 1.5 in 2011, in comparison
to the previous year. The number of passengers
uplifted by UK airlines also increased over the
same period, rising by 7.6. Meanwhile, although
an increase was exhibited in terms of seat and
cargo kilometres used in 2011, of 6 and 2.7,
respectively, over the 5-year period between 2007
and 2011, these segments witnessed an overall
decline.

- Air transport to and from the UK can be
divided into two segments scheduled and
non-scheduled services. Scheduled services is the
largest of the two sectors, exhibiting an
increase of 9.5 in 2011. However, non-scheduled
services which are generally operated by travel
companies providing packaging holidays
exhibited decline in 2011, falling by 1.6 in
comparison to 2010.

- In recent years, the UK airlines industry
has experienced declining passenger numbers on a
consecutive basis, largely due to the impact of
the global economic crisis. Other factors,
however, have exacerbated the situation, with the
eruption of the Icelandic volcano,
Eyjafjallajökull, in 2010, and subsequent ash
cloud, halting flights across Europe, along with
a period of unusually severe winter weather
towards the end 2010 and the beginning of 2011,
leading to a number of delays and cancelations.
However, these factors receded somewhat in 2011,
with healthy growth reversing the year-on-year
decline in passenger numbers that has been a
feature of the UK market since 2008.

- Although the aviation industry has returned
to growth, the future market is uncertain due to
the lack of airport capacity in the south east of
England. With Government aviation policy
currently rejecting an additional runway at
Heathrow, many in the aviation industry believe
airlines will cease to focus on its UK
activities, instead looking elsewhere for growth
opportunities. However, the Government has
commissioned a report on future airline capacity,
due in 2015, and while it has ruled out expansion
at Heathrow for its current term in office, it is
possible that aviation policy could change,
should the Government be elected for a second
term.

- Future growth in the airline industry is
expected to continue over the short-term, with
passenger numbers boosted by the Olympic and
Paralympic Games in the summer of 2012, but
economic uncertainty is expected to reduce the
likelihood of significant growth thereafter.
However, over the longer-term, as economic
conditions improve, passenger numbers are
expected to exhibit more significant growth, with
Key Note forecasting a growth of 10.5 in the
5-year period to 2016 in the number of passengers
uplifted by UK airlines
