Summary and extracts
1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and scope of the study
The air transport market covers the entire transport of passengers or freight by air. Although the bulk of air transport is carried out by airlines operating between several airports, there are several types of air carriers: scheduled airlines (local-regional, domestic or international carriers), airline alliances and low-cost carriers.
By 2019, more than 4.5 billion passengers had been transported worldwide, a figure up almost 3.8% on 2018, as well as 61.3 million tonnes of freight. The French market has also been buoyed by this international growth and is benefiting from its position as 1 e international tourist destination to develop the international axes. However, the consequences of the Covid-19 crisis have been significant and the sector has seen a 60% drop in revenue in 2020.
The air transport market is characterized by a large number of players and strong competition since the arrival of low-cost carriers in France, such as EasyJet and Transavia, which continue to gain ground.
The main issues in the air transport market today are managing the economic and financial consequences of Covid-19, as well as the evolution of the various ancillary services offered to consumers (meals, wifi, insurance, baggage, etc.) in order to increase passengers' perception of the value of the journeys they make.
