    Asia-Pacific Airlines Grow Fastest While Route Networks Shrink

    Asia-Pacific led the world in international traffic growth and load factors in 2025, with IATA forecasting 3.8% long-term annual growth versus 2.5% for Europe and 2.8% for North America. Yet according to DOHOP's whitepaper, it is the only region where the international network contracted, losing 1,017 international routes and a net 228 airport pairs since December 2019, with mainland China alone shedding 293 international connections. The cause is not weak demand but a jammed aircraft pipeline: order backlogs stand at 17,000 planes, nearly 60% of the active global fleet, with a new order taking about 6.8 years to arrive. Scoot, Citilink, Thai Vietjet and Cebu Pacific are turning to 'connect…

    Three South Korean Carriers Merge to Form Low-Cost Giant

    South Korea's low-cost airline market is set for major consolidation as Jin Air, Air Busan, and Air Seoul agree to merge into a single carrier under the Jin Air name, creating the country's largest budget airline with 58 aircraft. The combined airline is due to begin operations on March 17, 2027, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. The deal is a downstream effect of Korean Air's takeover of Asiana Airlines, aiming to drive efficiency by combining fleets, technology platforms, and corporate structures rather than adding flights. The merger reshapes Korea's aviation hierarchy, leaving a dominant full-service flag carrier, a powerful low-cost affiliate, and a cluster of smaller in…
