I’ve used Apex to compare the change in seat capacity and the fares available versus the same period in 2024.
Switzerland sees +24% growth in available LCC seats, with fares for January 2025 departures +6% compared to the performance seen for January 2024 departures in the same collection period.
France appears to be enjoying good growth in LCC seat capacity, with ticket prices up 3%.
Sweden is -8% in capacity, as the soon-to-be-abolished government tax is still hampering the development of LCC seat capacity; average LCC airfares are +3%.
Traditionally, lower-yielding CEE markets appear substantially discounted compared to the fare levels seen at this stage for 2024 departures. Hungary's growth looks particularly likely to be a challenge for all involved.
