Global airline capacity up 7% in Jan-2010: OAG

OAG reported (13-Jan-2009) the fifth consecutive month of capacity growth by the world's airlines in Jan-2010, with a 3% year-on-year increase in seat capacity and a 2% increase in frequencies. Seat capacity and frequency by low cost carriers rose 10%. Details include:

OAG: "As they should be, the airlines are cautious about the early signs of recovery and gradually increasing their capacity in the marketplace. It is a wise strategy, which should help them manage better yields as the economy recovers. This is of note in Asia, as frequency and capacity both into and within the region are showing continued increases," Mario Hardy, Vice President Asia Pacific. Source: OAG, 13-Jan-2010.
