OAG’s Post

📢 New blog post klaxon 📢 In 2019, Japan was eagerly looking ahead to the following year; Tokyo was due to host the 2020 Olympic Games, which would bring an influx of visitors to the country from around the world. Then, the pandemic hit - and Japan closed its borders for three years. In this blog post we analyse Japan's aviation market in 2024 and the different factors hindering its road to recovery: https://hubs.li/Q02vHFMl0 #Aviation #AviationTrends #AviationMarket

I was fortunate to participate in a panel discussion titled "AAM operations and business beyond 2025" with three other professionals at Japan International Advanced Air Mobility Expo 2024 held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, 5-7 June 2024. My topic was "social acceptance of AAM" with focus on how the word "flying car" can be interpreted and understood. It was a very fascinating experience to talk in front of a large number of audience. https://lnkd.in/gUb__DK4

✈️ Direct vs. indirect flights during the Olympics 🌍 With the Olympics nearly over, people who travelled to Paris for the games will soon be heading home. What is the cost for people travelling home? We investigated the price of direct vs. indirect flights to/from Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) during the Olympics period for some of the countries currently topping the medal table. We found that while direct flights from China, South Korea, and Japan are significantly more expensive compared to indirect flights with one layover, direct flights from the U.S. and Canada have much less of a premium compared to indirect flights. What factors could be driving these differences? Are North American travellers are more flexible? Is it because of remaining flight availability or the relative supply of direct to indirect flights?    I'd love to hear your thoughts and insights on this! What do you think might be influencing these pricing trends?   #AirfareAnalysis #Olympics2024 #TravelTrends #AviationIndustry #DataInsights

Sixty years ago on October 1 1964, the Shinkansen, Japan’s famous bullet train, made its debut, marking the beginning of Japan's high-speed rail era and serving as a symbol of the country’s post-WWII recovery and technological prowess. Launched in conjunction with the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the Shinkansen connected Tokyo and Osaka at high speeds. Over the past 60 years, the term "Shinkansen" has become synonymous with speed, efficiency, and modernity, helping Japan maintain its reputation as a leader in transportation innovation. Check out this article to learn more about the development of the Shinkansen and the impact it has had on rail travel. https://lnkd.in/esgc6jHa

Sky-high Euros: football's impact on airfares Part 3: Planes, trains and automobiles During the Euro 2024 group stage, airfares to Berlin on match days, and the days preceding match days, saw significant increases—except for one standout match: Poland vs Austria. Why didn’t prices rise for this match? The answer lies in geography. Berlin’s proximity to the Polish border (less than two hours by car) prompted many fans to choose driving or taking the train over flying. Polish National Railways responded by adding extra trains to Berlin for the game day, while the border experienced heavy traffic delaying drivers for hours. A fascinating blend of travel dynamics during a thrilling sporting event! At Oxera, our aviation experts and data scientists have collected a detailed dataset on airfares across all routes in Europe.
