In a recent interview with Aviation Week Network, Prague Airport laid out its ambitious plans to expand into new long-haul markets. Notably, destinations like Hanoi and Bangkok Suvarnabhumi were highlighted as key targets. Our latest analysis using BEONTRA’s Route Forecasting solution reveals that this strategy is fully aligned with the data, as both cities rank high in unserved market demand from Prague. 📊

But the opportunity doesn’t stop there. BEONTRA’s analysis shows that 8 out of the top 10 unserved markets from Prague are in North America, underscoring significant potential for new connections across the Atlantic.
As Prague Airport positions itself for long-haul growth, these data-driven insights offer a clear roadmap for airlines to tap into unmet demand. With the return of international travel, we’re excited to see how Prague’s vision unfolds.

The global transition to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is rapidly gaining momentum. By 2050, legislation is expected to drive SAF to comprise 75% of jet fuel use in the UK and 70% across the EU. In the USA, the Grand Challenge Roadmap outlines a target of 35 billion gallons (130 billion liters) of SAF annually.

🌱 The challenge? Airports will need to invest heavily in infrastructure to support this diverse fuel mix – SAF from biomass feedstock, synthetic SAF from captured carbon, pure hydrogen, and even electric alternatives. This shift from a single fuel type to a complex ecosystem requires forward-thinking planning.

🚀 Where BEONTRA comes in: Our demand forecasting expertise helps airports navigate this complex transition. We deliver accurate forecasts and flight-by-flight design schedules for any time horizon, enabling airports to anticipate aircraft movements and their specific fuel needs. With these insights, airports can strategically plan the infrastructure necessary to support SAF adoption, ensuring they’re ready for the future of aviation.

On 2 August, All Nippon Airways resumed its flights from Vienna Airport to Tokyo Haneda after a long hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This exciting development inspired us at BEONTRA to analyze the latest O&D market size from Vienna to the top 10 destinations in Japan and to compare them to the 2019 level. 📊

Our analysis reveals that there is still significant catch-up potential for most markets. For instance, the market size from Vienna to Haneda (HND) is currently 46% below 2019 levels. However, with ANA’s capacity increase to Japan, we anticipate a swift recovery in these numbers. 📈

Meanwhile, for Vienna to Narita, where Austrian Airlines offers a seasonal non-stop service, the market size has already exceeded the 2019 level – a positive sign of recovery and growth! 🌸

As Bloomberg reports, Airbus closes in on a large single-aisle jet order from the airline. Cebu Pacific plans to sign up for as many as 150 A320neo aircraft, more than doubling its fleet size. In addition, the carrier is awaiting the delivery of 8 A320neo, 9 A321neo, and 10 A321XLR aircraft. 🚀

In light of these ambitious expansion plans, we at BEONTRA turned our attention to Cebu Pacific’s hub Manila to identify unserved markets within the range of these newly ordered aircraft.

Using BEONTRA’s Route Forecasting solution, we uncovered significant demand for new routes from Manila. These airports lead our ranking of unserved routes from Manila:
1. Delhi (DEL) 🏙️🛫
2. Sapporo (CTS) 🌸🛫
3. Mumbai (BOM) 🌆🛫

As Cebu Pacific continues to expand its fleet and network, these new routes present exciting opportunities for growth and enhanced connectivity.
