Chinese airlines grab market share from US and European carriers who have to fly around Russia
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- US and European airlines are banned from Russian airspace, and so must route around the world's largest country. This is causing much longer and costlier flights between North America and Europe, and destinations in Southeast Asia.
Chinese, Korean, and Indian airlines still enjoy Russian overflight privileges, however, and can thereby offer shorter and less expensive fares.
As a result, Chinese carriers are gobbling up markets and gates across international markets. Chinese airlines already operate with 30% lower costs on a passenger-mile basis compared to US- and European-flagged carriers, and their cost advantages only multiply after adjusting for the issues involving Russian airspace.

As a Russian, I would like to note about Canada. The An-124 Ruslan aircraft, owned by the Volga-Dnepr company, was stuck at Pearson International Airport in Canada on February 27 2022 year. It was noted that the aircraft arrived in the country to deliver a batch of rapid tests for COVID-19. At the same time, Canada introduced a ban on the use of its airspace for all aircraft registered in Russia. The crew of the vehicle returned to Russia. Since then, the plane has been regularly fined for parking. How can I officially pay for anything in Canada? Obviously, pay in Canadian money, which is in Canadian banks. Thus, transactions in Western banks are blocked for Russia. Do you understand that this is a criminal scheme? Try to guess who this cargo plane was given to? Canada is a thief state!
The rascal has also detained Huawei's CFO at the behest of US
@@chongdi6140 Canada and Trudeau ended up with egg on their faces when it turned out one of those Canadians held by China really was a spy and the other one sued him and the Canadian government - and won. Canada still owes China. This isn't over.
This Ukraine conflict has revealed many western countries as thieves, sometimes I cannot believe some of the things they do as though morality and ethics mean nothing to them. A friend of mine who is a mediator said to me once 'Put someone in conflict and then watch how they act...if they totally unravel and behave like an animal you know that is what they are made of....conflict reveals your true nature.'

As a Chinese American, I travelled with United Airline for business trips for 30 years and until recently I only travel with Asian Airlines including Taiwanese, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. I like Asian Airlines far more than American ones, not because of the prices. The food and courteous service are far better. Asian people are physically smaller, making sitting more comfortable. Asian children behaves well. Even Asian babies don't cry as much.
I couldn't agree more with you
The attitude of US carrier staff that flies international routes are better than the domestic routes in general. They still are vastly behind international carriers in general.
@DragonYang01 Chinese babies dont cry much,😅.
@NathanZar You obviously are not familiar with race realism, a scientific field of endeavor that has a long pedigree. Academia has to do it on the down low, mostly because it is politically incorrect. He is right by the way.
As a frequent Delta Airlines traveler, I can't agree with you more. To be frank, I like Delta better than other US airlines, but overall US airlines lose to Asian airlines virtually in almost every category. If it were not for the perks of frequent flier program, I would have flown much more on Asian airlines internationally than on Delta.
Soon they will complain about "Overflying" of Chinese airlines
😂 yep
I believe someone already did. But what can they do except adding more tax.
@@medialcanthus9681 even Worst Chinese Over Capacity, somehow they will blame it on Chinese Government providing subsidies.
@@TAL142they did it to themselves 😂
Yeah, like when Germans do it, it's called _competitiveness_
When China does it, they call it _dumping_
Our politicians are so infuriatingly stupid. I really want to leave for a place that isn't run by absolute bafoons.
Our Jewish politicians*
Being Jewish isn't the problem. Being a Zionist or a war mongerer is. It has led the west and the G7 down a very very dark path. I hope the rest of the world turns their back on them.
Politicians work for their donors not for their voters
but it's "democracy", you voted them so you pay the price. You don't vote for them to make stupid decision? keep telling yourself democracy is the lesser evil.
All these bafoons hold Ivy League diploma.
Important to remember that Russia banned these countries from using their air space only AFTER these countries banned Russian airlines and hit Russia with thousands of sanctions.
Can we call this an "own goal" from the G7? 🙂
😂😂
We Americans only blame others and refuse to look into the mirror…btw, we sanctioned Asian carriers and REFUSED to increase their flight frequency bc US carrier lobbyists cry to the congress claiming unfair competition without access to Russian airspace! We want our citizens to suffer higher prices and more inflation bc we are having a pissing contest with Russia. We don’t want our people to keep more money in their wallets, just like most of the high import tariffs with no real domestic industries to protect
These idiots forgot that a boomerang comes back to them 😅
tbh i think they didn't think this through. or they arrogantly thought they will "finish" russia in a few weeks
@@moiramaine8986None of the US or EU decisions have been thought thru. Showcase how stupid they are. China, Russia and the rest of the world are laughing and giggling behind their backs.

@@demonridera The US needs to have another 1 or 2 meaningful political parties so their poor soul citizens aren't left yo-yo'ing between knucklehead Democrats and Republicans and their deplorable and ruinous policies. To us non Americans, their political system and decision making are but a circus show breeding unwavering disapproval, dislike and contempt.
TRUE
15 years ago, my country did most of the commerce with the USA, then USA put us sanctions, lift sanctions, signed treaties, broke them. Currently our interchange with USA is less than 20% and lowering
Great comment, so true
Russia is proving time after time that messing with it can be very costly in more than one way.
And what is Putin learning about invading another country, especially one that just took a chunk of his country?
@@davidgmaloof They have "taken" nothing. This is already proving a very costly mistake for the US backed regime. As for "Invasion", please remember that the independent Donbass and Lughansk Republics REQUESTED Russian help in removing the Ukrainian military. R2P was just fine for the US and NATO - works just as well for Russia.
@@phils4634 Yeah, right. Not buying it, but thanks for playing.
@@davidgmaloofKeep watching western MSM😂
The difference is that Russian leaders are well educated and profound in the reading and thinking when it comes to the nation's sovereignty and stratedy. American leaders are out of touch with reality; and for them a good move is one that makes the headlines. Not its effects. They are drowning in so much of their own spin; they have lost touch with facts. Don't blame it on BIden. He's old. But the rest simply making decisions base on airy fairy opinions and running with the crowd. Facts are irrelevant. Listen to them talk when they are interviewed. Even military generals who claim to be in the "same room" when the decision was made. They are totally in their own sphere. There's just very little common grounds they're threading on.
Add STUPID to the list of adjectives that we apply to the US.
Is it really that? Or is it fascism at work? The answer latter
Even more stupid is that Canada and UK and others follow the US. They are not independent counties but dominions of the US.
Very soon the US Government will limit/reduce the number of flights by Chinese Airlines to the US - using the same mantra - over capacity 😂😂
Or illegal subsidies, or CCP spying. Why would China need to subsidise international flights when western sanctions mean they aren’t burdened by those same sanctions. What they want to do is create a tariff for other countries airlines. That’s not worked out well for western countries. 😂
The US didn't have to do that as there already been a substantial decline of Chinese tourists to the US for the past year.
Then China should also ban Chinese airspace to US airlines and Iran too. Basically all BRICS countries except you know which one. lol
@@thecomment9489 why Iran? Iran is a friend of China
@@brianliew5901Plenty of alternative news sites and social media creators talking about the sorry state of the US.
And active discussions on social media.
this is one of the many self-created problems. Russia do not even need to lift a finger for it ot happen.
Russia made a lot of $ charging airlines to fly over its territory. Not any more.
ban and boycott and sanction. US cannot compete. what a shit show.
Sanctions are all you have left when your diplomacy is stunningly inept and your armed forces have been exposed as nothing more than toothless kittens suitable only for kicking over impoverished and largely defencless nations.
It was quite foolish for American Carriers to stop flying over Russian. Airspace.
The solution of trying to ban other airlines that fly over Russian airspace is even more ignorant.
Stupid thinks, hears and sees stupid and makes stupid answers to it's stupidly perceived problems. Better counseling is needed by who ever is in charge. 😢
They banned it because they thought Russia would do what they would do...Sad.
The stupidity is a top down thing.@@othmanhassanmajid8192
Russia banned the overflights, not the other way around.
Thats how stupid bully does all the time, just like the Hollywood movies shows. Its real thing in reality, i always thought its just movies.
Let’s ban all American planes from leaving USA
For the safety and security of passengers.
I agree. As an amateur astronomer living in the US, I welcome the lack of jet contrails (aka vapor trails) which reduce visibility. During 9/11 and Crowdstrike (in the West where they use Microsoft Windows -- China and Russia for the most part were unaffected), the night skies were great .
America has 29 trillion reason$, 11 aircraft battle groups and 6K nukes that says your little ban won't work.
good idea!
Only His Majesty Joe, the one that shakes hands with air and sniffs around the neck of young women, could do that.
Besides these facts, Asian carriers provide infinitely superior in-flight service to the awful US carriers - the world's worst! Just like in general, US and western service is typically far worse than services in Asia, which is one minor reason why Asia is rising relentlessly while the West's inevitable collapse is gathering pace.
I HAVE MY POPCORN OUT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cabin crew of Asian carriers are younger and far more attractive than the old bag attendants with american airlines.
Same for the big-butt American bar girls compared to the young slender Asian bar girls
And there are plenty of vlogs criticizing the poor in-flight services of these US carriers by travel vloggers.
They are all over this platform and others!
I was a pilot for two Asian airlines during my career and without a doubt Asian cabin crew are far superior and treat passengers with respect and outstanding service instead of treating them as inmates on several US carriers.
A self-inflicted ban. What a pity!
Russia banned Western airlines from flying over its airspace, not the other way around.
@davidgmaloof no the west banned russia first. I remember it. And they stopped and took the cars from russians driving in eu territory
@@davidgmaloof Western nations quickly banned Russian carriers from operating to their destinations in Feb 2022. Russia was quick to retaliate, banning....
@@remix-yy1hs The US did not ban flights over Russia. Saying that Russia banned the flights in retaliation would be a correct statement. Either way, the US will somehow survive. LOL!
@@davidgmaloof I'm not so sure US will survive... It is doing so many stupid and self-destructive things, such as inflicting this flight ban on its airlines.
The real numbers is much crazy than they reported, flights costing doubled overnight and some direct flights quadrupled in price over last 4 years. That's 400% compared to the pre-pandemic pricing.
America wants to ban other airlines from flying over Russia? As if we own Russian airspace? Funny thing is, it is not even Russia banning American brand airlines but ourselves! Talk about ridiculousness!
Uncle Sam talked like a gangster
Please add stupidity…
Not just talking like the mafiosi, but actually like one too.
Hungary-Japan tickets with China Eastern cost HALF as much as other airlines. Their flight times are lower as well. Only problem is they are using Boeing planes.
Not using the A333?
Yah, those those flying coffins.
I avoid western airlines because their cabin crews are older, thicker, ruder and uglier. Never mind the cost and duration of flight.
I will have to agree. 😢😢😢 Too many mamas and narrow airplane aisles, if you know what I mean. Going to the loo is a lot of work.
@@stephenlock7236 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man, do you have to be that rude! Haha!
He explains this so well.!
According to the Western European countries and their descendants in the New World, Russia is too big and must be broken apart. Russia has too much of the world’s land, airspace, and natural resources, especially crude oil - facts that threaten the West as well as cause the “Green Eyes.” For nearly 500 years a minority of the world’s population and geography dictated the economic and political terms for the majority of the world’s population and geography. The amalgamation of economic and political interests among the BRICS members have shattered the Old World Order whose primary beneficiaries are waging a rear guard war in the hope of prolonging their dominance.
That will not longer work. And they know it. But like a drowning man, the west is flaying its arms in all directions, hoping to catch onto something that will help keep its head above water.
Same for London / Tokyo
It's ridiculous. Planes are now going in the OPPOSITE direction!
😂😂😂 its literally called "lift a rock only to drop it on one's own feet"
Russia banned Western airlines from flying over its airspace, not the other way around.

You my friend, need to take a stronger version of the meds you are currently taking.
Things just keep getting better and better for Chinese companies. China is becoming more and more independent. Not having to rely on foreign companies anymore.
Wrong. China isn't becoming more and more independent. China IS independent.
Tough luck for USA and EU airlines. You brought the war to Russia by encroaching its territorial borders. And now your airlines cannot fly over Russian airspace. And you’re crying about it tough luck. I used to fly United airlines to Beijing. And it would cost between US$1200-US$1500. Last year I flew United and had to fly to Hong Kong, and pay a Chinese airline to fly to Beijing. The United flight cost me US$2500, RT. United Airlines took the opportunity to gouge all of us passengers. My next flight to Beijing will not be on United Airlines.
"Not one inch eastward".
I don't understand why Russians are so stupid to believe the West, time and again.
This war accidentally exposed the shortsightedness, or plain stupidness, of Western politicians
You mean the war started by Russia?
No political BS just straight business analysis, the way it should be done. Thank you.
The larger Chinese carriers provide an excellent service, and the food is pretty amazing too. VERY pleasant cabin crew, and a far better experience all round than flying with our National carrier (Qantas), a carrier that we nowadays avoid as much as possible (along with their "budget" yet expensive subsidiary JetStar).
Classic case of F around and find out
Meanwhile, Ukraine just took a chunk of Russia. Guess Putin F around and found out as well, not didn't he?
@@davidgmaloof 🤣USA-NATO-UKR couldn't take any chunk out of anyone without itself losing catastrophically
🤣 Russia's enjoying prosperity now, more than ever
just like China is!😎
Been to over 40 countries. Whenever I visit Asia, I prefer to fly Asian airlines bc: 1)young, QUICK, and hardworking flight attendants 2)they put on gloves and actually wipe clean toilet floors periodically which I have NEVER SEEN American staff do 3) no obesity, no risk of whiplash or traumatic brain injury when an obese attendant runs into you passing through the aisle 4) attentive even in the economy section where our USA staff will go MIA between meal services, they tend to hide in the gallery and socialize instead of taking care of customers 5) lastly, even pre-pandemic, Asian carriers are usually cheaper
So, even without the Russian airspace issue, I dislike flying US carriers
Oh, in general, Asian carriers have NEWER planes vs USA. Especially Cathay Pacific and Singapore
Almost forgot, FOOD and entertainment programming are MUCH BETTER with Asian carriers! I have NEVER been impressed by the food on board U.S. carriers…
There is a say that goes like: do not interrupt your enemy when he is doing great damage to himself.
It seams Kamala Haris is already in charge! 😂😂😂😂😂
When it comes to matters concerning China, the West just keeps on giving and China says "Thank You !!!"
xiè xie indeed 😉
To go to NY from south-east Asia, I have only used Southern China Airlines for long, the best price and professional staff.
That’s great news. Since Russia and China have been deemed as the greatest enemy to the U.S., Canada, and the EU, they look good flying extra mileage and time 🤣🤣🤣🤣
the US think they own the world to plunder it ..those that disagree of coarse are always the enemy ..
Who would have guessed that Western sanctions on Russia would backfire? Just about any well informed & intelligent person.
Delightful news! Western airlines have to take a longer flight routes. Good to see their revenue get hit hard and the shift in market share. That's what they deserve.
The west Airline. company should point to their government and blame them baned Russia first not Complain the Chinese Airline company Got more sharing.
My heart bleeds for the stupid leaders from the West. They started this and now it cost more!
Russia did not ban flights through its air space. What was the logic of such a "sanction" by the west? Glad to see China , India & others benefitting.
This is an perfect example, all others countries try to use shortcut in all their business: the most efficient way, while for USA, it is not about shortcut, it is about political correct.
Amerika Serikat: kalau bisa dipersulit, kenapa dipermudah?
Political correct? You must be kidding; the USA violates international law more than any country in the world, the list of illegal invasions of countries by the US goes on and on
The stupidity of sanctions
The US and EU inflicted harm to themselves with loss of travellers. Too bad... So sad... Nope not sad at all.
Take that Putin!
I doubt Putin cares. Ukraine invading Russia? Putin cares - and apparently is powerless to stop.
Thank you, Kevin.
The problem now is any penalty on companies that are able to take advantage like air India, will open up retaliation from those countries like India futher compounding the west problems... this is indeed a self inflicted injury due to very poor foresight. These complex problems were nit considered before involving in this mutilation. This war could have been easily prevented if the US wanted to do so.
USA preventing a war? I dont know what you are talking about or maybe you just ignore History.
I believe the pain is self inflicted. Stop the wars and hostilities and the Airlines will not lose out to Chinese, Indian or ME airlines. But you can’t help if you are hooked on wars. In the meantime, the financial woes of average American are growing, but the politicians don’t care, they just want to fund two wars. And they are preparing for another one. Absolutely crazy.
Who is running US policy? Kevin, it would be interesting to hear your take on the the Asian trade deal "The Pivot to Asia" that Oboma tried so hard to get passed and failed.
Hahahaha self inflicted
The self-inflicted strategy is the best strategy from BRA & its cronnies.
Play a stupid game and win a stupid price.
People in the US are already paying a serious amount in taxes because of all the "aid" to Ukraine, which is really a huge transfer of money from US taxpayers to weapons manufacturers. $100 billion is $300 for every man, woman, and child. This added flight expense is yet another tax. USA! USA! USA! USA!
The Taliban also has the greatest of gratitude to the US tax payer for the gift of numerous military equipment they recently paraded a few days ago. 😂
I see your videos shared on X. Good job!
his videos are also shared on TikTok!

Ah yes, the anti-competitive practice of refusing to self-sabotage by banning flight paths for airlines. The horror.
European airlines travelling to Asia are relying on Turkish, Azerbaijan and Armenian airspace more than ever, since Russia and much of the middle east is inaccessible.
Anchorage has once again become a major hub for N American planes to Asia much like the old days during the cold war.
Dubai is also a possible hub as well.
I didn't know that S Korea planes could fly over Russia, unless they meant N Korea.
The effed around and found out!!
They're surely learning the hard way or are they?

Being an Indian, I have flown from Hong Kong to New York and it was an amazing experience. The food was good, great hospitality and comfortable airliner.
The flight time is only half the wasted time.
Airport security (incompetence) is the other half.
Even without the Russia airspace ban, I don't like the US airlines because they usually have much inferior foods and service.
I like Asian airline they are providing very good services
The Asians outsmarted the Westerns
The one problem is the US imposing these sanctions. We Europeans need the Russian energy, the materials and the markets, as well as the airspace.
The US cannot provide the energy (only at a prohibitive cost for LNG) cannot provide the raw materials because of the closed mines, is a shrinking market with a shrinking middle class and its airspace is nowhere in between Europe and any developing markets. The pivot to Asia is going to be world wide ... we do not want the sanctions, the wars, the ideology or the NGOs of the US ... we just want to live in our own countries and work and live well. Which we can do without America's meddling.
And you still take orders from them when you know all of these facts? I suspect Europe takes American orders because they would like to do the same given the chance! Just look at what you are doing to Russian Central Bank assets! Do you even think about the future and how the world will look at you in 20 or 50 years time? That is theft, no matter how you put it, and you are leaving a horrible legacy to other generations!

How is the airline going to handle the cancellation of passengers from Africa who have not been vaccinated and verified by the airline. The new virulent strain of Monkey Pox is transmitted via touch or touch material such as aircraft seats which have been contaminated. Flights to Europe could be cancelled soon if a pandemic is declared, as previously organized.
Will the airline cancel all flights to Africa until such time vaccination programs 8 months can have an effect.?
UK and European authorities will insist on all verified vaccination certificates for all passenger coming from Africa. The staff strongly advise cancellation of any flights from the effective countries before it kills staff and kills the brand. This was done before so this is the likely outcome of UK, European, and US governments?
