CAPA ANALYSIS
 
While Austrian Airlines has expended its short/medium haul hub activities and looks to increase long haul operations, low cost airlines have also moved in, attracted by lower charges than might be expected.
 
EVENT SPOTLIGHT
 

While the demand for air travel continues to rise, calls to curb flying for environmental reasons are also growing. In recent years we have all heard of “flygskam” – the Swedish word which translates as “flight shame”. The anti-flying movement encourages people to stop taking flights to lower carbon emissions.   

 Although the aviation industry contributes only a small percentage to the worldwide total, the movement has brought the industry’s environmental impact into sharp focus. So how are airlines and airports tackling the issue? Join us at Routes Europe to find out more and discuss the issue with industry leaders.
