CAT-Letter - Monthly Civil Aviation Traffic Newsletter
Civil Aviation Traffic…a tribute to 50 years of COINCAT-Luftfahrt Journal und Aviation Letter…the idea to be continued…
Editorial zur Ausgabe 24:
Was von Anfang an klar war, ist auch eingetreten: ist die Pandemie vorbei, werden Lieferketten wieder verlässlicher und fast keiner braucht mehr Corona-Tests. In der Folge geht die Nachfrage nach Fracht zurück und damit ist wie erwartet der „Prachter-Verkehr“ (also ohne Frachttor) massiv eingebrochen. Der Bedarf hat sich fast komplett erledigt. In Deutschland waren Flüge im Sommer noch nie so teuer wie dieses Jahr, egal wohin. Es darf bezweifelt werden, dass die Nachfrage bei so einem Preisniveau im nächsten Jahr noch zu halten ist, der Nachholbedarf nach Corona wird dieses Jahr gedeckt. Und die Lustlosigkeit in der Branche einen Job anzutreten hält nachhaltig an, daher müssen Flughäfen z. T. ihre Kapazitäten reduzieren. Das Fliegen wurde über Jahre kaputt gespart, nun wird dafür die Ernte eingefahren…
Im Zeichen einer zu erwartenden „fetten“ Sommersaison 2023 in Europa und anderen Teilen der Welt viel Spaß beim „Jagen der Objekte“ und hoffentlich auch Wissenswertes mit der Ausgabe Nummer 24.
