Flying in the face of demand
Over the next 10 years, capacity and growth in the aviation and airlines sector will constantly be at loggerheads in Europe.
Flying in the face of demand: what the future holds for Europe's airportsDespite a downturn in the global economy, and the potential short-term effects this may have on the industry, the long-term prospects for the aviation sector seem to be healthy. However, European airports face a number of issues which are crucial to their future: overcapacity, competition (from the Middle East in particular) and excessive regulation.
This report, published in collaboration with the Economist Intelligence Unit, examines these issues in detail and identifies the opportunities for the region's airports and the strategies that they should be pursuing.
