A snapshot of the week’s aviation performance in Europe
With 2022 drawing to a close, overarching conclusions are being drawn about the performance of the aviation industry this year. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) semi-annual report on the Global Outlook for Air Transport stated:
“In Europe some airlines’ financial performance has been curtailed by the war in Ukraine. Nevertheless, we expect the region to return to profitability in 2023 when a net profit of USD 612 million is forecast, following the USD 3.1 billion loss likely in 2022.” See more from this report here.
It is useful to contextualise these big picture predictions with a more detailed breakdown. Eurocontrol provides statistics and forecasts offering a detailed picture of European aviation performance. The latest weekly network overview is below, showing the top five aircraft operators, airports, and states as well as a rich breakdown of flight numbers, percentage of delays, and more compared against 2019 statistics.
