The charter segment continued to recover from the Egyptian and Tunisian disruptions last year and was up 11% in March, business aviation was up 0.7% whereas traditional scheduled, low-cost and all-cargo were down -3.4%, -2% and -8% respectively (EUROCONTROL, April). Based on preliminary data for delay from all causes, 31% of flights were delayed on departure in March, a 1 percentage point decrease and a return to the low levels observed in 2011. Analysis of delay causes contributing to the average delay per flight shows a notable increase in reactionary delay, with this cause experiencing a 48% share of total delay minutes for all- causes and an increase in its contribution to the average delay per flight of 3.8 minutes, up from 3.5 minutes in March 2011.

  • The Evolution of Selected Enterprises in the Aviation Industry in Romania and Poland After 1989
    Revista de Științe Politice. Revue des Sciences Politiques • No. 67 • 2020: 170 - 180 ORIGINAL PAPER From a state-owned giant to a market enterprise? The evolution of selected enterprises in the aviation industry in Romania and Poland after 1989 Andrzej Dubicki1) Abstract Year 1989 was an important turning point, not only in the political history of Poland and Romania, but also for the transport sector of both countries. Political events allowed for a thorough reconstruction of the air transport sector in both countries. Both airfleets entered the new political reality as state-owned enterprises, though with different traditions. Both countries have begun transforming their own aviation market in a similar place, with a rather outdated air fleet, with some few modern aircraft. Nevertheless, the further development of respective aviation markets took place in different ways, as long as no native competitor for LOT appeared in Poland for various reasons, the situation is somewhat different in Romania and TAROM now experiences serious competition from the low-cost carrier BlueAir. Both state-owned enterprises had to take advantage of public aid, LOT in 2012, while TAROM in 2020.Time will show whether the Romanian national carrier will be able to repeat the success of the Polish one, which after a period of recession is now able to expand on the European market.The aim of the article is to show and compare the development of the Polish and Roumanian air markets and to try to find common points of the situation created after 1989. There will be used various sources, including monographs, analysis and articles of this specific topic.

Regulation 9 Oil prices came very close to $100 per barrel at Environment 10 the end of August, climbing up again from lower Fares 10 June prices. EUROCONTROL statistics and forecasts European flights decreased by 0.5% in June and 1.3% in July on same months a year before, in line with the forecast (see Figure 1). It is the low-cost and charter carriers which are adding traffic over the Summer. Since April, low-cost segment pushed back into growth, reaching a modest 3% growth over the April-to-July period. Charter growth (3.6% year-to-date), is still largely due to the bounce-back from the downturn following the Arab Spring. The traditional scheduled, all-cargo and business aviation segments all remain 3% below 2011 levels, since January 2012 (EUROCONTROL, August). Based on preliminary data from airlines for delay from all causes, 41% of flights were delayed on departure in July, resulting in a 3 percentage point decrease on July 2011. Analysis of the causes of delay show that reactionary delay saw a decrease in its contribution to the average delay per flight from 5.6 to 4.5 minutes.

    European Research Studies Journal Volume XXIII, Issue 1, 2020 pp. 13-30 The Analysis of Passenger Air Transport Development in Poland over the Period 2010-2018 Submitted 18/11/19, 1st revision 12/12/19, 2nd revision 22/01/19, accepted 20/01/20 Katarzyna Wąsowska1 Abstract: Purpose: The aim of the conducted research was analysis of data regarding aviation activities in the field of passenger transport at Polish airports over the period 2010-2018. Design/Methodology/Approach: The Analysis of the air travel segment referring passenger transport in Polish airports is based on available literature, analysis and statistical documentation of the air transport market for the years 2010-2018. Findings: The Polish market of air services continues to be in a state of flux. The pace at which changes occur results from a combination of external and internal factors, which precondition the behaviour of air carriers and customers, and the operation of airports. When analysing air transport development forecast, we can see a further upward trend in the number of activities of all market participants. That said, in the near future we should be expecting an expansion of connections, erection of state-of-the-art infrastructure, new air services, and above all a growth of importance of Poland on the aviation map of Europe. Practical Implications: Having regard to data included in the study, without a doubt the Polish aviation market should be considered a strongly developing one, having enormous potential ensuing not only from population mobility different EU standards, but also from demographic potential of Poland, gradual wealth gaining of the Polish society, and Poland’s geographic location.
