Sydney, Australia: Australia’s domestic aviation sector is struggling to match seat supply with surging passenger demand, with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) warning that capacity remains below pre-pandemic levels despite a full recovery in travel volumes. According to the ACCC’s Domestic Airline Competition in Australia report released in August 2025, seat capacity in June was 2.8% lower than in June 2019, even though passenger numbers had fully recovered and, in some cases, exceeded pre-COVID benchmarks. In May 2025, Australian carriers transported 5.20 million domestic passengers, up 1.6% compared with May 2019. The mismatch between supply and demand is evident in the load factor, the proportion of available seats actually sold which rose to 80.7% in June 2025 from pre-pandemic averages of about 78%. The ACCC noted that the capacity shortfall has kept airfares elevated. Although jet fuel prices dropped by 12.3% year-on-year, average fares in June 2025 were still higher than the same month last year. The regulator attributed this to limited seating availability, which has reduced the scope for last-minute fare discounts, particularly on peak routes. “The lack of significant competition and constrained supply means consumers are seeing fewer low-fare options,” the ACCC said in its report. The sector has shown notable improvements in operational reliability. April 2025 recorded an on-time arrival rate of 82.4%, the highest in three years and above the long-term average of 80.7%. Cancellations have also remained low, averaging under 2.2% in April and May, with a slight uptick to 2.4% in June. Jetstar and Virgin Australia achieved the best punctuality and cancellation performance, while Qantas reported comparatively higher cancellation rates. The capacity lag stems from a combination of structural and market factors. The collapse of Tigerair in 2020 removed a substantial share of low-cost capacity from the market. New entrants such as Bonza have struggled to establish sustainable operations, and Rex’s expansion on trunk routes has been limited. Global supply chain disruptions and manufacturing delays have also constrained fleet expansion. Aircraft delivery backlogs, driven by production issues at major manufacturers, have delayed capacity growth plans for both Qantas and Virgin Australia. Qantas Group is in the process of receiving additional aircraft, including narrowbody jets redeployed from Jetstar Asia. Virgin Australia expects delivery of six Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft by December 2025. However, much of the incoming fleet will replace older planes rather than significantly expand seating capacity. Industry analysts note that upcoming infrastructure developments could provide relief. Slot reforms at congested airports and the opening of Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport in 2026 are expected to improve access for both existing and new operators. The ACCC has repeatedly expressed concern over the high level of market concentration, with Qantas Group and Virgin Australia controlling more than 98% of the domestic market (The Australian, Aug. 12, 2025). The regulator has urged measures to encourage competition, warning that the duopoly limits consumer choice and pricing flexibility. While passenger demand has fully recovered from pandemic lows, Australia’s domestic aviation market continues to operate with constrained capacity. The ACCC expects gradual improvement as airlines take delivery of new aircraft and as infrastructure projects come online, but warns that pricing pressure may persist in the near term.

Australia’s Aviation Market Faces Tight Capacity, but Not Enough Seats, ACCC Reports

Ontario, Canada: The Ontario Court of Appeal has upheld a ruling that Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) must compensate the families of Flight PS752 victims without being bound by the liability cap of US $180,000 per passenger. In its August 12, 2025 decision, the appellate court confirmed the findings of the Ontario Superior Court, which concluded that UIA acted negligently by allowing the January 8, 2020 flight to operate despite escalating military tensions in the region. This negligence removes the standard compensation limit set under the Montreal Convention. On Jan 8, 2020, Flight PS752, a Boeing 737-800, departed Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport shortly after 6 a.m. local time. Minutes later, it was struck by two surface-to-air missiles launched by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), killing all 176 people on board, including 55 Canadian citizens and 30 permanent residents. The downing took place hours after Iran had fired missiles at U.S. bases in Iraq. The Association of Families of Flight PS752 Victims welcomed the ruling, stating that it ensures the airline is held accountable for its actions, while emphasizing that Iran and the IRGC remain responsible for the attack. The judgment means UIA faces the possibility of paying significantly higher compensation than the usual limit. Lawyers for the families described the ruling as a landmark decision that reinforces the duty of airlines to evaluate risks when operating in or near conflict zones. UIA had appealed a 2024 ruling from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice that found the carrier negligent for operating flights out of Tehran during a period of extreme tension between Iran and the U.S. The airline admitted it had a duty of care for the passengers and crew of Flight 752 but argued that its actions did not lead to the occupants' damages. Ongoing legal actions against Iran continue in international courts, including the International Court of Justice and the International Civil Aviation Organization, as Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Ukraine seek accountability.

New Delhi, India: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued a show-cause notice to IndiGo, India’s largest airline by market share, after an inspection revealed that the carrier had been using certain pilot training simulators without securing the necessary regulatory approval. According to DGCA officials, routine surveillance and compliance checks found that a few Airbus A320 Full Flight Simulators at IndiGo’s training facility were not in line with the mandatory certification standards under Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) for pilot training. These simulators are used for crucial functions such as type rating, recurrent training, and proficiency checks, all of which are mandatory for maintaining a pilot’s operational license. “The operator has been asked to explain why these devices were used for training and assessment without approval. This is a serious compliance lapse,” a senior DGCA official said on condition of anonymity. The notice gives the airline a period of seven days to respond, failing which the regulator may initiate enforcement action, including possible suspension of related training approvals. IndiGo, in an emailed statement to The Economic Times, acknowledged receiving the notice and confirmed it had “temporarily withdrawn the use of the identified simulators pending regulatory clearance.” The airline added that it is “fully cooperating with the DGCA to ensure that all training devices meet the required technical and regulatory standards.” This is not the first time the DGCA has tightened oversight on simulator usage in India’s civil aviation sector. In March 2024, the regulator grounded a simulator at another training organization over discrepancies in calibration, highlighting its zero-tolerance stance on safety compliance. Industry experts note that any gaps in simulator certification can have downstream effects on pilot preparedness and, by extension, flight safety. The DGCA has yet to announce whether further sanctions will be imposed on IndiGo. For now, the matter remains under review pending the airline’s formal response.

DGCA Flags IndiGo Over Unapproved Pilot Simulators, Issues Show-Cause Notice

New Delhi, India: India’s youngest airline, Akasa Air, has completed three years of commercial operations and unveiled plans to expand its international footprint into South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) nations and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region in the coming years. The Mumbai-based carrier, which operated its maiden flight on August 7, 2022, has grown into a network covering 28 destinations, 23 domestic and five international cities, including Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Doha, Riyadh, and Jeddah. The airline said it aims to leverage upcoming infrastructure at Navi Mumbai International Airport and Noida International Airport to deepen its domestic network and support long-haul regional routes. Akasa Air has carried more than 19 million passengers since inception, including over 8 million in the last 12 months alone. The airline has recorded a consistent load factor above 87 percent and completed over 100,000 departures more than 3,800 of which were international flights. In addition, the carrier has transported over 131,000 tonnes of cargo and secured partnerships with more than 1,150 corporate clients. The airline currently operates a fleet of 30 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in 189- and 197-seat configurations. Orders include additional Boeing 737 MAX 8, MAX 200, and MAX 10 aircraft, which will be inducted over the next several years. Speaking to The Times of India Akasa Air founder and chief executive officer Vinay Dube said Boeing’s production output is “gradually returning to its historic production strength” after a prolonged slowdown, adding that this will allow the airline to receive deliveries on schedule and support its growth strategy. In the financial year ending March 2025, Akasa Air reported a 49 percent year-on-year increase in revenue and a 48 percent rise in available seat kilometres. The airline has set a target of increasing capacity by over 30 percent in the current fiscal year. The carrier also entered into a codeshare agreement with Etihad Airways in March 2025, enabling passengers to book combined itineraries across both networks. The partnership is expected to strengthen connectivity to the Middle East and beyond, while providing a platform for future route expansions into Southeast Asia. Industry analysts note that Akasa’s measured but ambitious growth contrasts with the more aggressive early expansions attempted by some of its predecessors in India’s low-cost segment. With South and Southeast Asia’s aviation markets projected to grow significantly in the next decade, Akasa Air’s entry into these regions could place it in direct competition with established carriers such as AirAsia, Batik Air, SriLankan Airlines, and Malindo Air. The airline’s leadership maintains that its strategy focuses on disciplined growth and service quality. Akasa Air’s third anniversary underscores its rapid ascent in India’s aviation sector, driven by operational efficiency, prudent fleet expansion, and targeted market entry.

India’s Youngest Airline Akasa Air Marks 3 Years With 49% Year-on-Year Revenue Growth

France, Europe: The Low-cost carrier Ryanair will cut 13% of its winter seat capacity in France, equivalent to around 750,000 seats, citing what it calls an “excessive” increase in the country’s air ticket tax. The move will see the airline withdraw completely from Bergerac, Brive, and Strasbourg airports and cancel 25 routes nationwide. The cuts follow a 180% rise in France’s “solidarity tax” on air tickets, implemented in March 2025. The levy, originally designed to fund public health and climate initiatives, was sharply increased by the French government earlier this year. Ryanair says the tax hike has made operations in regional airports unviable during the winter season. “France has now made itself one of the least attractive markets in Europe for low-fare growth,” said Ryanair Group CEO Michael O’Leary, “Instead of supporting regional airports and tourism, they are imposing punitive charges that destroy connectivity and jobs.” According to Ryanair’s winter schedule update, Bergerac Airport in the Dordogne region will lose its entire Ryanair service, a blow local officials warn could affect tourism-dependent businesses. Airport authorities estimate the cuts will mean 18,000 fewer passengers, or roughly 7% of annual traffic. Brive and Strasbourg airports will also see all Ryanair flights withdrawn from late October. In addition to the three full withdrawals, routes from other French airports will be trimmed. Analysis by the Centre for Aviation (CAPA) shows that the reductions will primarily affect services to Spain, Italy, Portugal, and the United Kingdom key short-haul markets for French holidaymakers. French Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot dismissed Ryanair’s criticism, telling The Times that the airline “remains profitable in France” and accusing it of using the tax increase as an excuse to reallocate capacity to other markets. “This is a commercial decision, not a necessity,” Tabarot said, while defending the government’s decision to increase the solidarity levy as part of its climate and budgetary commitments. For now, travelers using affected French airports face reduced options from the start of the winter timetable on October 27, 2025. The cancellations come amid a broader debate in Europe over balancing environmental taxation with maintaining regional air connectivity.

London, UK: International Airlines Group (IAG), the owner of British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus and Vueling, reported a sharp increase in profits for the first half of 2025 as resilient travel demand particularly in premium cabins outpaced lingering concerns over slowing economy bookings. The airline conglomerate posted an operating profit of €1.9 billion for the six months ending June 30, up 43.5% from the previous year. Net profit rose to €1.301 billion, compared with €905 million in the same period of 2024, while revenues climbed 8% to €15.9 billion. Second-quarter performance alone showed strong momentum, with an operating profit of €1.68 billion, beating analysts’ expectations of €1.4 billion, and revenues of €8.8 billion, up 6.8%. IAG credited cost efficiencies and fuel savings of about €291 million as additional drivers of the earnings surge. Passenger revenue advanced 4.9%, reflecting robust demand on North Atlantic and European leisure routes, despite softer bookings in economy class from the U.S. market. “Premium travel continues to show resilience and remains a key margin driver, particularly on transatlantic routes where British Airways maintains a leading position,” said IAG Chief Executive Luis Gallego as per Reuters in a post-results briefing. He noted that while broader consumer spending patterns are shifting, business and high-end leisure travel are “holding up strongly” and underpinning the group’s financial performance. IAG announced it has returned around €1.5 billion to shareholders so far this year, through a mix of dividends and share buybacks. Its shares have gained more than 130% over the past 12 months, outperforming many European airline peers as investors bet on the sustained rebound in global air travel and continued profit growth. The group reaffirmed its full-year guidance, citing confidence in further earnings expansion and margin stability, even as geopolitical uncertainties and consumer spending patterns remain under scrutiny. Alongside the earnings announcement, IAG renewed its criticism of Heathrow Airport’s £49 billion expansion plan, which includes a proposed £21 billion third runway. Chief Executive Gallego warned that the regulatory model underpinning Heathrow’s investment plans could lead to a “doubling of passenger charges” and risk underutilisation of the additional capacity. British Airways Chief Executive Sean Doyle argued that expansion must be paired with cost efficiency, pointing out that Heathrow already ranks among the most expensive hub airports globally. “Passengers cannot be expected to bear unsustainable fees just to support infrastructure growth,” Doyle said. IAG has voiced support for alternative proposals, including one from the privately backed Arora Group, and has called for regulatory reforms to prevent passengers from shouldering disproportionate costs. The strong half-year results come as airlines across Europe continue to benefit from a robust travel recovery, with consumers prioritising leisure and experiential spending even as other discretionary sectors slow. However, analysts caution that competition on short-haul routes, potential economic cooling, and rising labour costs could test the sector’s profitability in the coming quarters.

Tokyo, Japan: A massive 8.8‑magnitude earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula on Tuesday trigg ered a Pacific‑wide tsunami alert, disrupting air travel and forcing carriers in the United States and Japan to cancel and divert flights. Hawaiian Airlines and Southwest Airlines canceled multiple flights between the U.S. mainland and Hawaii, affecting Honolulu, Kahului, Kona, Lihue, and Hilo. Alaska Airlines suspended all departures to the islands, rerouted flights already en route, and issued travel waivers for affected passengers. Authorities ordered evacuations of low‑lying areas in Hawaii as tsunami waves up to 1.8 meters struck shorelines Tuesday evening, causing traffic congestion as residents moved to higher ground. Officials warned that multiple waves could follow and urged residents to stay away from coastal zones until all advisories are lifted. On the U.S. mainland, particularly along the Northern California coast, residents were placed on high alert as Crescent City prepared for swells of up to 10 feet. Waves measuring about half a meter were recorded at several locations, prompting emergency services to advise boat owners to secure vessels and avoid harbors. In Japan, Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways canceled all flights to and from Sendai Airport after the runway was closed, and bullet train services as well as ferry operations were suspended across parts of the northeast. More than 900,000 residents were advised to evacuate or move to higher ground as tsunami waves up to 40 centimeters reached coastal areas. Authorities also halted operations at multiple nuclear power facilities, including Fukushima, to ensure safety protocols were strictly followed. The earthquake’s impact prompted tsunami advisories across Taiwan, the Philippines, China, New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, Peru, and Ecuador, with officials urging people to stay away from shorelines and ports because of strong currents and abnormal wave activity. In Russia’s Kuril Islands, waves as high as 15 meters were reported in Severo‑Kurilsk, leading to widespread evacuations and flooding in low‑lying areas. No casualties have been confirmed so far, but search‑and‑rescue operations are continuing and property damage assessments are underway. Aviation authorities have urged travelers to check schedules before heading to airports as disruptions are expected to continue until tsunami warnings are lifted. Airlines are expected to adjust operations based on aftershock activity and evolving wave forecasts. Seismologists caution that aftershocks are likely and could potentially trigger additional wave surges, while emergency response agencies across the Pacific remain on high alert.

New Delhi, India: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued four show-cause notices to Air India citing violations of pilot rest norms, training requirements and cabin crew deployment, calling them systemic lapses that could compromise flight safety. These notices follow voluntary disclosures by Air India just days before a scheduled regulatory audit of its Delhi operations, covering incidents from 2023 and 2024. Sources reviewed by Economic Times indicate pilots in multiple instances exceeded weekly duty hour limits, including flights operated on June 24, 2024, and June 15, 2025, without the mandated rest periods. The regulator also noted that pilots who had completed simulator training failed to commence active flying within the specified timeframe, rendering the training invalid. Additionally, at least 17 pilots operated into and out of Kathmandu without mandatory high-altitude airport simulation training, despite its complex terrain and special approach requirements. Cabin crew shortages were also reported on four ultra-long-haul flights to North America in April and May, which were operated with as few as 12 cabin crew members, instead of the required 15. The DGCA has characterized these as serious procedural breaches and gave Air India two weeks to submit explanations and corrective plans. Failure to comply could lead to penalties, leadership accountability measures and further regulatory action. The regulator’s notices add to a series of safety-related actions taken against Air India in 2025, including nine show-cause notices in the first half of the year alone. These issues have gained urgency following the June 12 crash of Air India Flight AI 171 near Ahmedabad, which killed 260 people and has become India’s deadliest aviation disaster in over a decade. The accident has intensified scrutiny of Air India’s governance, safety oversight and crew management practices. In a statement, Air India confirmed receipt of the notices and stressed that all violations were voluntarily disclosed as part of its internal compliance checks. The airline said it remains committed to passenger and crew safety and is implementing measures to prevent recurrence. The DGCA has warned that repeated violations despite earlier advisories point to systemic governance failures and could result in stricter enforcement, fines and even leadership restructuring if compliance gaps remain unaddressed.

DGCA Pulls Up Air India for Violating Pilot Rest, Training and Crew Deployment Rules

Germany: Germany is moving to reverse last year’s aviation tax increase, a step that could make flying from the country more affordable and strengthen its position as a leading European air travel hub. The federal government is considering undoing the levy imposed in May 2024, which raised departure charges on short-haul flights from €12.48 to €15.53, alongside similar increases for medium- and long-haul flights. If approved as part of the 2026 federal budget, the reversal is expected to come into effect ahead of the peak summer travel season, potentially lowering ticket prices for millions of passengers. The 2024 hike was introduced as a fiscal measure to boost government revenue and encourage climate-friendly travel. However, it immediately drew criticism from airlines and tourism advocates who warned it undermined Germany’s competitiveness and pushed airlines to cut capacity or withdraw routes altogether. Low-cost carriers such as Ryanair reduced services at several German airports, while tourism officials, including federal tourism coordinator Christoph Ploss, urged the government to reduce both aviation taxes and airport charges to restore confidence in the market. Rolling back the increase faces significant fiscal and political challenges. The levy contributes approximately €500 million in additional annual revenue, and officials have yet to identify alternative sources to offset the shortfall. As per Reuters a senior government source recently noted that while the aviation sector requires relief, the reversal is “not currently a priority” amid tight public finances and rising defense spending commitments. The debate is also complicated by environmental concerns, with critics warning that cheaper airfares could stimulate higher passenger volumes and increase emissions. In response, government sources have indicated that any tax reform may be paired with sustainability initiatives, including incentives for airlines to use sustainable aviation fuels and invest in cleaner fleets. Despite these challenges, industry groups believe a tax rollback would provide immediate benefits, restoring passenger growth and route development that were disrupted by the 2024 hike. It could also help German airports compete more effectively with hubs in neighboring countries that have maintained or lowered their aviation levies. Major carriers such as Lufthansa and Eurowings, as well as low-cost operators, are closely watching the budget process, which will determine whether the rollback is implemented in full or in phases. The Bundestag is expected to debate the proposal later this year as part of the 2026 budget negotiations. If passed, passengers could see cheaper tickets as early as 2026, a change likely to influence booking patterns and airline strategies for the coming years. The government faces the difficult task of balancing consumer benefits and industry competitiveness with environmental targets and fiscal stability, but the outcome of this reform could mark a significant shift in Germany’s aviation policy.

Germany May Reverse Aviation Tax Hike in 2026 Promising Cheaper Flights for Passengers

India: A Right to Information (RTI) response from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), as reported by The Times of India, has revealed that Indian airspace recorded 65 in-flight engine shutdowns over the past five years. The data also disclosed 11 Mayday calls between January 1, 2024, and May 31, 2025, four of which were linked to Hyderabad’s air traffic control region. Engine Shutdowns Involving Multiple Airlines and Aircraft The incidents spanned both domestic and foreign carriers, with shutdowns occurring during takeoff, in cruise, or as a precautionary measure following cockpit alerts. The DGCA identified key technical causes, including: Blocked or contaminated fuel filters Interrupted fuel supply Oil pressure loss Foreign object ingestion Turbine control unit malfunctions All 65 incidents were classified as reportable occurrences under India’s civil aviation regulations and were investigated by the concerned operators under DGCA supervision. “We continue to witness shutdowns due to recurring causes like fuel contamination or component wear. Every occurrence is tracked and mandates technical review,” said Capt. C. S. Randhawa, President of the Federation of Indian Pilots. Mayday Calls Highlight Critical Emergencies The DGCA confirmed that the 11 Mayday calls issued during the 17-month period were in response to severe emergencies requiring immediate crew response. These included engine fires, hydraulic failures, and other situations jeopardizing flight safety. “A Mayday is the most serious alert. When pilots call one, it means the situation demands urgent intervention be it fire, total engine loss, or system failure,” explained Anil Rao, Executive Member, ALPA-India. Though the RTI reply did not identify the specific flights or aircraft types, officials confirmed that all events were subject to post-flight safety reviews, many involving the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB). BCAS Staffing Vacancies Raise Oversight Concerns Separately, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), India’s aviation security watchdog, reported 224 vacancies out of 598 sanctioned posts as of March 2025. The shortfall represents a staffing gap of over 37%. A recent parliamentary standing committee had raised concerns that such vacancies may hinder effective regulatory oversight. Air India Express Crash Raises Safety Scrutiny The disclosure comes shortly after the Air India Express Flight IX-171 crash near Ahmedabad on June 12, 2025, in which an engine failure during climb-out was suspected based on preliminary reports. While the DGCA has not confirmed whether the case is counted among the 65 shutdowns, the timeline places it within the scope of the RTI data. Aviation regulators emphasize that twin-engine aircraft are certified under ETOPS to continue flying with one engine inoperative, but each incident is taken seriously. Investigations may lead to maintenance bulletins, airworthiness directives, or fleet-wide inspections. Lack of Public Safety Dashboard India currently does not provide a public-facing aviation safety dashboard like the FAA’s Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) system. Access to data on technical issues or Mayday calls remains limited, often requiring RTI filings. Increased transparency in aviation safety has been a growing demand among Indian aviation stakeholders. In its June 2025 report, a civil aviation working group recommended enhanced publication of anonymized safety statistics and the establishment of a centralized digital platform for incident data.
