- Air seat capacity to the island of Ireland for the summer aviation season (end March 2026 to end October 2026) still remains broadly unchanged since the conflict began, with seat capacity scheduled to grow +4% YoY overall (OAG). This may change given the conflict in the Middle East. €450m of visitor spend to the island of Ireland annually comes the Middle East, Asia and Australia/New Zealand.
- Oil and gas price inflation will heighten cost concerns for consumers and businesses, while jet fuel increases pose a risk to aviation connectivity.
- Consumer uncertainty is likely to be heightened regarding safety to travel and confidence to spend.
