2012: A Shrinking Capacity

Many airlines have announced that they intend to make yet additional cuts in capacity in 2012 on top of the reductions already made in 2011.

Delta Airlines which has cut overall capacity by about 2% in 2011 intends to lob an additional 2-3% in 2012. Most of the reductions will be on domestic routes and will eliminate flights to/from smaller unprofitable routes that airlines used to receive subsidies for.

Travel in the Middle East and Asia are expected to grow modestly as wealthier airlines will continue to upgrade their fleets and services to meet growing demand in the Asia Pacific and emerging market regions.
