Racedo - Between now and 2050, Just 1.5% growth annually is needed to grow from 20m to 35m. By any paramaters, that is a sustainable growth level.
At 3% - hardly earth shattering growth - 35m is reached in 2031 and 25m by 2020.
The era of 1c flights is over because:
1) FR and EI are going for margin over loads
2) Fuel prices
Great to see that in a recession, both EI and FR can increase fares and load factors.
Its probable by 2025 that €50 will be the minimum tax payable on any flight as EU seeks to kill the golden goose.
very probably true - considering EI and FR are already there.
