Airlines and airports across Europe faced much criticism in the summer of 2022 due to delays and long lines as the industry struggled to meet surging demand after most restrictions related to the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 were lifted.
This summer, many better-prepared airlines and airports are gearing up for another summer, and one of the major questions will be whether travelers will get from point A to point B in good time and without hassle.
Polish national carrier LOT came second, Finnair Airlines and Austrian Airlines rounded out the top five with more than 80 percent of their planes touching the ground on time, which Syriam classifies as within 15 minutes of the deadline.
On the other hand, Boeing, the US aircraft giant, expects global demand for aircraft to double by 2042, slightly raising its 20-year forecast for the industry.
Boeing said in mid-June that it expects that airlines will need 48,600 aircraft over the next two decades, compared to a prediction issued a year ago of 41,170 aircraft.
Darren Holst, president of marketing for Boeing’s Commercial Airplanes division, said the trend would be to order longer planes with more seats or close seats.
