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 />
