Low-cost airlines (#LCCs) operate one-third of all airline seats globally, served by just 114 airlines out of 741 operating flights every week. John Grant takes a deep dive into the basics of LCCs, growth, productivity, profit, and ancillary revenues in his latest OAG blog. With their popularity growing among passengers, a new form of LCC is appearing - the ultra-low-cost carrier (#ULCC)- but in this market of slim margins, who will survive?

The disrupted supply chain, delivery delays and engine shortage remain the biggest point of uncertainty for the industry, with the timeline and definition of normalization also unclear, noted Steven Townend, BOC Aviation Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, during the recent hashtag #ISTATAsia conference. “I think the ramifications of this, the knock on effects, are going to last, and they’re going to last for a while adding we're going to see demand still growing at a time when everybody is struggling with supply." #aviation #aircraftleasing #marketoutlook #perspectives #supplychain

Starting late next month, Spirit Airlines will offer four categories of service: • “Go Big” Tickets will include a spot in one of the airline’s Big Front Seats, its roomy seats at the front of its Airbus planes. Instead of upselling travelers for the seat alone, the assignment will come with free Wi-Fi, a checked bag, one piece of cabin luggage, and, CEO Ted Christie told CNBC, “unlimited” snacks and drinks, including alcoholic beverages. • Below that package is “Go Comfy,” which will offer travelers a seat with standard legroom but a blocked middle seat for extra space. That offer also includes earlier boarding, one snack, one nonalcoholic beverage, and checked baggage and a carry-on. • “Go Savvy” fares come with either a checked bag or a carry-on. • Then there’s just “Go,” essentially Spirit’s original product, with just a seat and fees for checked bags, cabin luggage, seat selection, Wi-Fi and snacks. The options will be available to book Aug. 16, and all four will be available on flights from Aug. 27. Does this make you reconsider Spirit Airlines?

Archer Aviation has announced exciting plans to launch an air mobility network connecting five key locations across the San Francisco Bay Area. These strategic locations include South San Francisco, Napa, San Jose, Oakland, and Livermore. This innovative network is set to revolutionize regional connectivity by reducing typical one-to-two-hour drives to a swift 10 to 20-minute flight. To anchor this network, Archer has partnered with Kilroy Realty Corporation, a leading U.S. landlord and developer. Kilroy has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Archer, designating Kilroy Oyster Point—a 50-acre waterfront campus in South San Francisco—as a critical hub for the planned urban air mobility (UAM) network. This mixed-use campus, located in the heart of the Bay Area biotech ecosystem, is poised to become a key takeoff and landing site, seamlessly connecting with Archer's other planned vertiport locations. Bryan Bernhard, Archer’s Chief Growth & Infrastructure Officer, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, "We’re thrilled to collaborate with Kilroy on developing infrastructure to support Archer’s air mobility service and laying the foundation for a robust network of landing sites throughout the Bay Area." Kilroy Realty, known for its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and design, is set to be the first U.S. developer to integrate eVTOL operations into its properties. The MOU also includes plans for the development of an Archer “Sea Portal” at Kilroy Oyster Point. This waterfront mobility hub will provide electric ferry services alongside eVTOL operations, all powered by renewable energy, offering unparalleled air and sea-based transportation options to campus employees. Angela Aman, Kilroy’s CEO, remarked, "We believe that this innovative and sustainable service has the potential to provide exceptional convenience and optionality to current and future tenants at the project, further differentiating Kilroy Oyster Point within the South San Francisco market." The initial launch location at Kilroy Oyster Point could open as early as late next year, with further expansion into other locations within Kilroy’s portfolio under consideration.
