European Transport Analyst Alex Irving joins host Richard Moffat to discuss how the European airline industry has evolved from a chronically underperforming sector into one capable of delivering attractive returns. They examine the forces reshaping the competitive landscape, including constrained aircraft supply, disciplined capacity growth and improved capital allocation, and explore what sets the industry's leaders apart – from Ryanair's relentless focus on unit costs to IAG's disciplined deployment of capital. The conversation also considers why today's supply-demand dynamics could underpin stronger profitability across the sector for years to come.
