Compared to <strong>2019<\/strong>, <strong>the<\/strong> <strong>capacities expressed in seats<\/strong> remain, however <strong>of 26.2%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>OAG notes that <strong>the Omicron variant does not, however, appear to have damaged airlines' short-term capacity<\/strong>. Demand remains strong, particularly in the run-up to the festive season. However, OAG is wondering about the impact of Omicron on demand in the medium term.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The first quarter of the year is generally the low point in aviation activity<\/strong>. OAG notes, however, that the planned aviation capacity for the <strong>first quarter of 2022<\/strong> is currently <strong>1.149 billion seats<\/strong>. This represents a slight drop of 8 million seats compared with the last quarter of 2021. The consultant notes a major dichotomy between the perception of the airline industry and that of political circles.<\/p>\n<p>Regionally, the<strong>North America returns to growth<\/strong> with many major airlines increasing their domestic capacity. From one week to the next,<strong> the United States recorded an increase in seat capacity of 2.7%<\/strong>, l<strong>Canada by nearly 11 %<\/strong>. Mexico is the only exception, with a slight fall in capacity of 3.1% compared with December 2019.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #a71f31\">Europe holding up well<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Europe is also experiencing significant levels of capacity increases week after week as the ski season gets underway. Many markets have expressed their intention to remain open this year. <strong>However, capacity in Europe is still 28% lower than in the week of 16 December 2019.<\/strong>. <strong>France outperforms the European average with a 22.9% reduction in capacity<\/strong>. In fact, from one week to the next (6 December compared with 13 December), it recorded an increase in head office of <strong>17.6%, the highest growth rate in Europe<\/strong> according to OAG.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, France is 20 points ahead of Germany, whose seat capacity is still 43.8% lower than it was in December 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The United Kingdom, for its part, posted a week-on-week increase of 11%. Even so, these seat capacities are still more than a third lower than at the end of 2019.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"hs_cos_wrapper_post_body\" class=\"hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_meta_field hs_cos_wrapper_type_rich_text\" data-hs-cos-general-type=\"meta_field\" data-hs-cos-type=\"rich_text\"><strong>Seat capacity on scheduled services for the world's top 20 national markets (Source: OAG, 13\/12\/21)<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oag.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/Blog_Post_Images\/2021\/blog-post-13-dec-21\/Table2.jpg?width=750&amp;name=Table2.jpg\" alt=\"Table2\" width=\"708\" height=\"294\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #a71f31\">Asia generally lagging behind<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>South-East Asia continues to suffer more than elsewhere<\/strong> with air capacity down by 59%. By contrast, the Indian sub-continent is recovering. Capacity in this part of the world - supported in particular by Indian domestic demand - was down by 13% compared with 2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OAG also sees a recovery in the Pacific<\/strong>particularly in New Zealand. The consultant notes an increase in weekday capacity of 72 %. Its Australian neighbour recorded a capacity increase of more than 33 %. Here again, we are talking exclusively about domestic capacity.<\/p>\n<p>L'<strong>North Africa<\/strong> has seen airline capacity increase by <strong>25 %<\/strong> from one week to the next, proving that airlines and authorities are better than politicians at assessing passenger demand on the African continent.<\/p>\n<p>According to OAG, it is clear that over the last few months, <strong>the aviation sector as a whole confirmed its recovery<\/strong>. And rather than stopping or being overwhelmed by the new difficulties linked to Covid, the airlines seem to be working on solutions to continue and even amplify this recovery. In the consultant's view, the airlines are thus demonstrating considerable optimism.<\/p>\n<p>Which suggests that 2022 will not be as hopeless as all that. Proof of this is the growing number of announcements of route reopenings by the world's major carriers.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to the consultant OAG, which analyses the air transport industry's capabilities on a weekly basis, the Omicron variant does not appear to have had a significant impact on airline activity for the time being.
