Key insights from PATAmPOWER

More low-cost flights from Europe to Asia in 2017  


 
An annual increase of 5.8 percent in scheduled low cost flights from Europe to Asia is forecast for 2017, thanks largely to the significant growth of flight frequencies from East Europe (+40.9%). West Europe will have retained, by year-end, the dominant share of 32.9 percent of total low cost flights – despite a slight drop of two percent compared to 2016. Flights from South Europe are also expected to increase by 4.8 percent while flights from North Europe are predicted to see a decline of 2.2 percent this year.
