Argentina has been a white spot in Australia's international network since Qantas and Aerolineas Argentinas suspended services earlier this decade on the Sydney-Buenos Aires route. Regaining a service to Buenos Aires is an obvious target for Sydney Airport and could potentially be realised early next decade.

Average ticket price (ATP) to Perth from almost all major Australian cities has increased by up to 5% year-on-year, according to new findings released today by Carlson Wagonlit Travel, in conjunction with CAPA - Centre for Aviation.

Cairns Airport is the major international and domestic gateway to far north Queensland and is operated by Cairns Airport Pty Ltd, which is owned and operated by North Queensland Airports. A major tourist destination, Cairns Airport urgently hosts 14 airlines operating both domestically and internationally, with 24 airlines via codeshares.

The Air Serbia brand may be a relative newcomer to the commercial airline market, but it brings with it 90 years of history through Aeroput, JAT and JAT Airways, making it the world's eighth oldest airline still in operation. The airline you see today is very different to the one that used to carry the flag of the old Yugoslavia and is one of the few successful chapters in the Etihad Airways Equity Partners story after relaunching in 2013 after the United Arab Emirates (UAE) carrier acquired a 49% stake in what was a struggling state-owned venture.

In fact among the top ten international city pairs to/from/within Europe, nine begin or end in London.

There has been a great deal of press of late around the impact birds can have on aircraft. In fact, this week alone, two separate incidents on AirAsia X and Virgin Australia flights have led to the grounding of aircraft.
