Exposed to the strength of consumer demand and with high operating leverage, European airlines have been under pressure lately (albeit less so than their US peers), on concerns about the economy, in the face of the escalating trade conflict. While, at c.4%, the 2025E market capacity growth is muted, around half of last year’s pace, it could still prove too fast, if the Eurozone GDP remains stagnant this year. Within the next 1-2M, we should start to get better visibility on the crucial summer RA...

In our airlines coverage, we see Wizz Air (BUY, PT GBP 20) as the key beneficiary of a potential re-opening of Ukraine. We expect Ryanair and Wizz Air to move in strongly to Ukraine after it reopens, and we expect that the two carriers may end up with a large share of the Ukrainian aviation market. Given that European aviation capacity growth in 2025E is forecast by both IATA and Eurocontrol only at a mid-single digit pace, constrained by supply-chain issues, the gradual return of traffic to Isr...

In 2024, European aviation capacity grew by around 9%. This was faster than the slow-growing economy could absorb, leading to fares underperforming expectations. For many carriers, we have also seen cost inflation. The lower fuel prices were an important tailwind, preventing margin erosion exceeding 1-2ppts (EBITDA) for the European carriers. Looking ahead, we expect capacity in Europe to grow by around a mid-single digit pace in 2025E, constrained by supply bottlenecks and engine durability iss...
