It is great to see so many flights getting back into the skies! But in the Middle East, the market dynamic has been very different among the ME3 carriers which are Emirates, Qatar Airways and Etihad. The competition has always been fierce in the Middle East; the Persian Gulf carriers rely heavily on connecting heavily, their model is built by carrying passengers between the East and West. There are a few things that are really against the ME3 carriers. In the video, the aviation analyst explains the problem these carriers face. The video gives the latest update and analysis from Emirates, Qatar Airways and Etihad. Etihad will be introducing the A350-1000 into their fleet shortly. At the end of the video, I talk about how I think one airline will do very well out of the current environment. This is Turkish Airlines. Check out the reasons behind my call on Turkish Airlines. For the latest aviation news, please check out my blog: SamChui.com

@thaibillyboyمنذ 3 سنوات I have to say having flown over 100 long haul flights with Qatar and having problems sometimes like the Iceland volcano ash and stranded again in Bangkok id="hidden2" class="buttons"> twice Qatar never failed me they always got me home as quickly and conveniently as possible and never a mention of any extra cost, without a doubt Qatar will be getting me back as a customer again when we get back to some normality. ....وسعت 120

@dougcargill6730منذ 3 سنوات Sam, the livery on the United 747-400 has always been my favorite. Unfortunately you never saw many due to the merger with Continental. Thanks for having it in the background. 9

@samueloseiasamoah1709منذ 3 سنوات Very thorough report by you Sam, Kudos. I personally flew Qatar Airways from Accra, Ghana to Los Angeles while connecting in Doha. The air traffic was id="hidden4" class="buttons"> significant. Flights were mostly about 90% full on average to the United States. It's always such a good feeling knowing air traffic is gradually picking up! ....وسعت 21

@RB-rp6udمنذ 3 سنوات I salute a company, one such is Turkish Airlines, who did not lay off staff but renegotiated the salary collectively for the greater good of the airline. id="hidden5" class="buttons"> As for Qatar, you flew when others did not want. This humanitarian effort will never be forgotten & passengers will remember this well way into the future. ....وسعت 3

@Agent44996منذ 3 سنوات Yes this is a very interesting topic. I have always viewed Etihad as a hub carrier, and I always will. It's very sad what's happening at Etihad, id="hidden6" class="buttons"> but who knows, maybe after the pandemic international travel will boom due to people's thirst to travel again. And maybe that will benefit Etihad and allow them to grow again, and they would have the ground resources for that with the new terminal. It would just be a matter of having the right planes. But for now, it looks like Qatar is leading and Emirates is not far behind. Btw, loved that fast motion montage at the end! ....وسعت 10

We know Sam loves flying, but post Covid (sooner than later let's hope) people might be getting id="hidden9" class="buttons"> a little wary of flying and opt for high speed rail travel. Love to see Sam venture into other forms of international travel, especially high speed rail and give his views on that travel alternative. ....وسعت 5

@markfulwell4256منذ 3 سنوات Interesting update, Sam. I believe Saudi Arabia is planning airport expansion & a new national airline, so that might be a market to look out for post-pandemic. id="hidden12" class="buttons"> As airlines downsize their fleets, I fear the A380 will join the 747 and fade into obscurity. A sad loss. ....وسعت 1

@renaudfensterمنذ 3 سنوات There is a catch with the term layoffs. Many airlines did layoff and others incentivized early departures, retirements, and voluntary separation. Did Turkish id="hidden16" class="buttons"> give any incentivized separation from the company or early retirement? Call in what you want if a departure is not a layoff the shortcoming of staff is the same. Kudos to Turkish for their ramping up of service. ....وسعت
@

@davidespingel1223منذ 3 سنوات Qatar Airlines is probably the best in terms of consistency in product and service amongst the Gulf carriers. Smart and very agile carrier. Turkish has id="hidden17" class="buttons"> a very big network but product and service are not consistent. Turkish also benefits from the fact that people flying from North America to Europe don’t mind transiting in Turkey as its not to far East like UAE or DOH. Emirates is arrogant due to its fleet size, revenue and most importantly its revenue in Premium cabins. Emirates also has a strong hold on ME to ME traffic which is high yielding. They also own FlyDubai. Etihad is so badly managed, but due to the vast amount of money of the UAE government its failures are just swept under the carpet. ....وسعت 1

@MrAsH412منذ 3 سنوات Covid has basically accelerated the demise of hub and spoke. I would say among the 3, Emirates probably went all in with this method with their A380 and id="hidden18" class="buttons"> huge planes and stands the most to lose. Qatar is the most well balanced. Etihad is just an Abu Dhabi vanity project so they are not in the race.
The airlines that masters point to point efficiently will win the next couple of decades. ....وسعت 8

@arysetiadi6344منذ 3 سنوات Having a first class is a bad idea in this era. because the difference between First and Business now are pratically thin. Both offered the same 180' id="hidden21" class="buttons"> flat bed and seat configuration. Future flying will be back into the good old days.

@yvr2002rtwمنذ 3 سنوات Emirates has alienated a whole bunch of travel agents (including major ones like AMEX Travel) and lost a bunch of potential bookings. They ended their id="hidden23" class="buttons"> agreement with Sabre at the end of June. Travel agencies that use Sabre as their computer reservation system no longer have access to Emirates content and must find alternative methods to book their customers who want to fly Emirates (or simply persuade their customers to book on another airline such as Qatar or Etihad whose content can still be booked via Sabre). ....وسعت

@tundramanqمنذ 3 سنوات The A380s biggest problem was the designing for passenger only and rejecting cargo and conversion options early on. The hub system was declining even back id="hidden29" class="buttons"> then and smaller long range passenger planes using point to point routes were gaining favor. Covid just put a big nail in the coffin of hub systems and their non cargo convertible planes. The A380 as designed has a huge volume capacity but a too small weight carrying capacity for efficient cargo use. ....وسعت

@EdOeunaمنذ 3 سنوات Emirates are using A380’s in greater numbers because they have run out of 777 capacity, or are needing more 777 capacity for all the freight only operations. The A380 will only come back in greater numbers once the UK and Antipodean markets reopen. ....وسعت
