All time high for international guests at Scandinavian Mountains Airport Scandinavian Mountains Airport AB in Malung-Sälens kommun, was inaugurated in December 2019. Soon after, the pandemic hit the world and the high targets for the number of travelers to the airport were crushed. There are now clear signs that the airport and the industry in general have begun to recover. - Things have turned around and we are ready for takeoff, says Gunnar Leman, CEO at Scandinavian Mountains Airport. The initial, overall goals regarding the number of travelers were set high: 350,000 guests within a 10-year period. That number still exists today, but it is further ahead on the horizon. The numbers on an annual basis have had to be revised after the pandemic, and they follow an expected, increased trend. Last weekend, five airplanes landed and took off from the airport with a total of 1,250 passengers, which is the second best number since the airport opened just over four years ago. The record is from a Sunday in February 2022. - Last Saturday we had two airplanes from Amsterdam, one each from London, Groningen (the Netherlands) and Copenhagen. It was the best international day so far. In February 2022, it was mostly about domestic flights, explains the airport's CEO, Gunnar Leman. To date, this season they have had almost 15,000 passengers, which is 40 percent more than the same period last year. According to the current forecast, the airport will reach around 25,000 passengers on 400 different flights this season. Last year there were a total of 17,888 passengers. - The interest in flying here is huge. Both airlines and tour operators have increased as they become aware of our existence, says the CEO. This winter's three biggest airlines are with TUI and Transavia from Amsterdam, SAS - Scandinavian Airlines from Copenhagen and Transavia from Groningen (The Netherlands). - The goal in the long term is of course that there will be flights to and from Scandinavian Mountains Airport in the summer, for which many have already shown interest. Maybe there will be domestic flights already this summer, we'll see. Hopefully we will also receive the first international flight from the Netherlands (Groningen), next summer in 2025, Gunnar Leman says. #investindalarna #visitdalarna https://bit.ly/4bWNydM

Flughafen Wien - Vienna Airport: We are delighted that Flughafen Wien - Vienna Airport has returned to normality in 2023 - we have reached our cruising altitude again... Not for many years have we seen such satisfied faces on the Management Board of Flughafen Wien - Vienna Airport as we did yesterday during the presentation of the 2023 traffic results. With 29.5 million passengers handled (+24.7%) and an above-average punctuality rate, the airport was also able to score points as a Lufthansa hub last year. "We are delighted that Vienna Airport has returned to normality in 2023 - we have reached our cruising altitude again". Airport Director Julian Jäger began his press conference with these words. Although the airport was not yet able to reach the all-time passenger record of 31.6 million passengers handled in 2019, the outlook for the current year is very promising thanks to continued strong demand on the local market. Although the airport management is still very low with its forecasts for 2024 (around 30 million passengers), I dare to predict that the record result of 2019 will probably be exceeded... Although some airlines from Asia are still not flying to Flughafen Wien - Vienna Airport, Airport Director Jäger is optimistic: "We expect more capacity for Asia and America this year". Although no details will be given in response to enquiries, Jäger is optimistic that former or new airlines will start operations to Vienna this year. The company is also satisfied with the use of ever larger aircraft to Vienna, with an average utilisation of 80.5% of aircraft, the highest figure in the airport's history. Leading role among Lufthansa Group hubs: Within the Lufthansa Group , the Vienna site also made a name for itself with its high punctuality rate. In comparison with other European airports, it was the fifth most punctual airport and the third most punctual transfer hub, which benefited the performance of home carrier Austrian Airlines. With a market share of 46.9% or 13,862,273 passengers handled, the Lufthansa subsidiary remains the undisputed number one in terms of passenger movements. However, with more than 5.9 million passengers, it is followed by Ryanair - Europe's Favourite Airline (20.2% market share) and Wizz Air (6.9%) Read more about the latest Flughafen Wien - Vienna Airport results at my aeroTELEGRAPH story: https://lnkd.in/dVMtZNsv

Trains & planes just got a little bit more connected. 🛫 x 🚆 United Airlines just began offering connections to/from Deutsche Bahn trains in Germany, which complements the existing intermodal options offered by Lufthansa & Deutsche Bahn. Here’s what’s happening: - You can now purchase a single ticket that covers both your flight and train ride in Germany. Imagine flying into Frankfurt and hopping on a train to Cologne. - They’re connecting 25 cities in Germany (plus Basel in Switzerland) directly to United’s hubs in the Americas via combined train & plane itineraries. Why is this a good thing? Think convenience: One ticket, integrated schedules, priority baggage handling, and even UA MileagePlus mileage accumulation for rail journeys. Eligible customers can also enjoy DB lounges. You certainly aren't giving up any perks of flying to choose the rail option over an existing flight option. Not to mention, ending up in the city center via train saves you a lot of time and it means more sustainable travel. Thinking about travel more holistically, it's great to see multiple pieces of a travel journey combined, and it's a trend that I'd love to see continue. #UnitedAirlines #LufthansaGroup #DeutscheBahn #SustainableTravel #Intermodality

🛫 Just read about Lufthansa dropping all its flights to Liverpool's John Lennon Airport from next year. This move really highlights how airlines are constantly adapting to changing circumstances, whether it's fleet issues or route profitability. It's a significant change for those relying on these routes for travel and business connections. Makes you think about the delicate balance in aviation between operational needs and regional connectivity. Curious to hear your thoughts on this and how such changes are impacting the industry and regions! https://lnkd.in/dwgTFR_g #Aviation #RouteRealignment #Connectivity #AirlineChanges #OperationalShifts #FlightFlexibility

Day 6 – The Network of KM Malta Airlines On this 6th day before our inaugural flight, KM640, to Catania on 31 March, we will explain our network strategy. A commercially efficient network is key to the financial sustainability of any airline. Together with industry-leading experts at SABRE Consulting, we have undertaken an extensive mapping exercise to design a new route network that is the most commercially efficient network to connect Malta to Europe. SABRE’s output proposed a new network using a ‘clean-sheet’ approach, resulting in enhanced territorial connectivity between the Maltese Islands and Europe Although the total number of routes has been reduced from 23 to 17, we have added increased frequencies on some of our core and mature routes to improve our product offering and to maximize aircraft utilization to 12.03 hours per aircraft per day. We have simultaneously increased the number of Business Class seats to 36 with a sales focus to maximize the load factor in this class. We will fly to 17 airports in 15 key Western European cities and attach to the bigger airlines through codeshare agreements and interline partnerships. These are important passenger and cargo hubs that provide excellent connectivity across the globe. With Malta’s size and population making long-haul routes unprofitable and unsustainable in the long run, it is crucial to rely on indirect connectivity from such airports as a gateway to the rest of the world. The slide below shows the airports worldwide that are just two flights away from Malta based on the 17 Western European airports that KM Malta Airlines will fly to. WE CONNECT PEOPLE COUNTRIES AND CARGO. #kmmaltaairlines #aviation #travel #aviation #airlines #europe #malta #visitmalta #sabre
