Som du ser måtte Turkish ha nær 60 fly til for å nå opp til 2019 tallene. Vi vet at i Norge ligger vi også under 2019. Det store behovet for nye flyplasser her har altså på langt nær nådd de tallene en regnet med da eksempelvis Bodø skulle få bevilgninger til helt ny plyplass i stedet for å få ny asfalt på den gamle.

Flight Friday: Five Large European Airlines Under The Microscope

With Aviation Week’s MRO Europe in Amsterdam next week, we put five large European operators under the microscope, indexing their flight hours against their equivalent month in 2019

Turkish Airlines (THY) have seen the largest increase in flight hours when compared to 2019. Turkish have done this by adding a large number of aircraft to their fleet, with almost 60 more aircraft in service in September 2023 vs September 2019. Turkish airlines continues to grow as is still has almost 90 aircraft on Airbus and Boeing’s orderbooks. Turkish has almost become the de facto operator for people wanting to travel in/out of Russia as they have kept air routes open after most of the world severed ties after the outbreak of the war on Ukraine.

Air France and British Airways are both at 90%+ of 2019 levels as of September 2023. With International utilization still down on 2019 levels, countries with a smaller domestic footprint are impacted more, and with the UK having a poor domestic network, and the restrictions place on Air France by the government these two airlines still have a little way to go.

Lufthansa and KLM are both in the mid 80% range. Lufthansa still has A380s that they are slowly returning to service, and they are impacted as a result of Pratt & Whitney’s GTF issue as Lufthansa have GTF powered NEOs in their fleet. KLM is also down, and with pressure being applied by the Dutch government on operations at Amsterdam Schipol airport to cap flights to almost 10% below 2019 levels, to reduce both noise and emissions, then it may take them longer to recover to 2019 levels.

This data was put together using Aviation Week’s Tracked Aircraft Utilization tool.
