Asia Pacific region leads for airline start-ups in 2022-2023
One year beyond our original analysis, we have re-examined the global picture for start-ups, identifying where they are, and the classes of aircraft they plan to use by 2023.
In June 2021 we examined the phenomenon of a?modest boom?in start-up airlines, and whether a global crisis provides?a fertile ground?for new operators. Using aviation intelligence from?IBA Insight, we identified over 130 start-up airlines that planned to commence operations by 2022. Since then, we have seen many of these airlines progress closer to launch and some commence operations. The launches have been most prolific in Europe CIS and the Americas.

Our analysis has identified that most start-up airlines planning to launch in 2022 and 2023 will operate narrowbody aircraft. This was also the case in our previous analysis. It is important to note that whilst the total number of planned start-ups has decreased globally, the gulf between the classes of aircraft they plan to operate has increased. In 2021, narrowbodies accounted for 33% of start-ups compared to widebodies at 17%. At the time of writing, only 14% of start-ups plan to use widebodies, compared to 67% that plan to use narrowbodies. Among other factors, the launch of long-haul operators (such as Norse Atlantic Airways) has contributed to this change.
IBA Insight?flexibly illustrates multiple asset, fleet, and market positions, actual and potential, to inform client choices and identify acquisition opportunities. Immediate access to crucial aircraft, engine, lease rate and fleet data eases appreciation of historic and future aircraft concentrations and operator profiles.
