North Atlantic travel is in high demand again

CAPA ANALYST PERSPECTIVE - a new series where CAPA - Centre for Aviation's analyst team provide their personal views on a hot topic facing aviation around the world.

Initially a novelty for the rich and famous and a significant advantage over the sea travel alternative, the North Atlantic has now turned into a mass market with multiple city pairs connected directly.

Many of these major markets are served multiple times daily with widebodies, while other thinner markets are being supported by the arrival of longer-range narrowbodies.

The North Atlantic is now one of the world's most lucrative long-haul travel markets and the appetite of airlines to serve this air travel corridor remains as strong as ever.

Richard Maslen, Head of Analysis at CAPA - Centre for Aviation shares his viewpoint.
