The highest growth in long-haul traffic is expected<br />

within the triangle of Africa, Asia-Pacific and<br />

the Middle East. Some 20% of the <strong>2030</strong> traffic<br />

will be accommodated on new city-pairs, notably<br />

between the Middle East and the PRC.<br />

The PRC will also be the main contributor to new<br />

long-haul routes in the Asia-Pacific region; 40% of<br />

the new city-pairs will connect the PRC to South-<br />

East Asia, the Indian subcontinent and Australia.<br />

The long-haul sector between Europe, the Middle<br />

East and Africa is dominated by traffic between<br />

Europe and Middle East, where again most of the<br />

route openings are expected, notably between the<br />

U.A.E. hubs and more secondary cities in Europe.<br />

The Trans-Pacific will enjoy the strongest growth<br />

out of the big three long-haul flows. The main<br />

reason is the increasing weight of RPK traffic to<br />

China, which will reach similar dimensions as traffic<br />

to Japan. The most new non-stop route openings<br />

are forecast between Europe and Asia, in spite<br />

of strong competition coming from connections<br />

via the Middle East hubs. Both Trans-Pacific and<br />

Europe-to-Asia traffic will be carried to roughly<br />

18% on newly opened city-pairs.<br />

The most fragmented long-haul market in terms of<br />

offered non-stop connections is the Trans-Atlantic<br />

sector, where more than 500 non-stop routes were<br />

served in 2010. However, new non-stop routes will<br />

only contribute to 10% of total traffic by <strong>2030</strong>. The<br />

relatively low growth compared to other long-haul<br />

flows is due to the dominance of traffic between<br />

more mature regions; even by <strong>2030</strong>, more than<br />

60% of the Trans-Atlantic traffic will be between<br />

Canada, the US and Europe. But a high growth<br />

potential will still come from emerging flows from<br />

the Middle East and Africa to the Americas as well<br />

as from Europe to South America. These segments<br />

will raise their share of Trans-Atlantic traffic from<br />

18% to more than 30% by <strong>2030</strong>.<br />
