Transport Problems (Jan 2009)
Polish air transport among structural changes in the world civil airline fleet
Abstract
The predicted tripling of regional air carriage before the year 2027 sets extremely high requirements on future aircraft choice. The main competitors for a share of this market are Bombardier from Canada and Embraer from Brazil, followed by the French-Italian combination ATR. Having gone through a series of important changes since 1989, PLL LOT S.A. must also compete in this highly dynamic market. Its choices in equipment will have an important effect on its future market position.
