Competition is tough in Europe at the moment and Air France-KLM's losses don't look good. But it's traditionally a weak quarter for airlines so things should get better during spring and summer.

India’s airlines punch far below their weight in the intercontinental arena. In fact, deeply troubled Air India maintains its leadership in the market. But will things change as others, including some low-cost carriers, contemplate long-haul flying?

Jet Airways will need to quickly find an experienced airline executive as the Indian carrier faces increasing pressure from Etihad’s board and AirAsia’s new Indian venture.

Air India blocked Jet Airways' membership while its own application was put on hold, but admittance of the competing airlines will keep their rivalry on even terms.
