Aviado comments to Arabian Aerospace News for the article "The loss world" on the challenges faced by the Gulf 3 carriers during the pandemic

Aviado's managing Director Shakeel Adam is interviewed by Mark Pilling from Times Aerospace News.

Some excerpts from the article include the following:

Analysts believe the reasons why the Gulf has become such an important airline hotbed remain in place. “The original logic for the Gulf hubs is based on geography. They are at the crossroads of highly populated, fast-growing regions of the world such as India and China,” said HSBC’s Lobbenberg.

Shakeel Adam: “With the market recovery likely to be inconsistent and unpredictable, airlines will be fearful of over-capacity.” Picture: Aviado Partners.

Shakeel Adam, an airline restructuring and turnaround expert, and managing director at consultancy Aviado Partners, said: “Airlines in the best position will be the ones with the biggest potential footprint. With their diverse networks, these carriers have a natural hedge in place to withstand market fluctuations.”

That said, each carrier has its own strategic challenges to work through, particularly with respect to fleet shape and size. “With the market recovery likely to be inconsistent and unpredictable, airlines will be fearful of over-capacity, and it will be an advantage to have a wide-body fleet mix with the flexibility to nimbly add and subtract seats to match demand,” explained Adam.
