The port experienced a 58% y-o-y absolute lost capacity at 2 mn TEUs in 2025 \u2014 which comes in stark contrast to the 11% y-o-y capacity growth in 2024 and the previously expected 18% y-o-y increase for last year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">What\u2019s behind the exodus?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The gateway\u2019s hail-mary is also the thorn in its side. <\/strong>DP World is currently developing its GBP 1 bn berth expansion project \u2014 underway <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dpworld.com\/en\/news\/united-kingdom\/dp-world-to-begin-construction-of-london-gateway-expansion\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">since May<\/a> \u2014 which will add some 450k TEUs of annual handling capacity upon completion in 2030. However, while the project is under construction, reduced working zones may have exacerbated issues relating to operability and capacity \u2014 an expected knock-on effect for mega projects like this one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But it isn\u2019t just current construction works \u2014 London Gateway\u2019s congestion troubles are <\/strong><strong>also <\/strong><strong>driven by Red Sea volatility. <\/strong>With larger vessels usually being deployed for the longer voyages around the Cape of Good Hope, handling times have gone up. The port\u2019s congestion average increased by as much as 60% between 3Q 2024 and 1Q 2025 before peaking at 57% in April. The expansion project\u2019s launch the following month added to wait times.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>And unpredictable elements have piled on even more<\/strong>, with the port experiencing a series of tech and power outages, along with a rail incident, in June and July. All this has resulted in a massive container backlog and may have been the swaying factor in major players scaling back port calls between May and December.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">What\u2019s next?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Worry not, this is likely not a long-term trend. <\/strong>\u201cModerate but prolonged risks are balanced against strategic value,\u201d Xeneta\u2019s Ozuygur said. The London Gateway has the highest handling capacity and most diverse global port connectivity \u2014 boasting 104 unique port connections \u2014 of UK ports. This, coupled with the firm's ongoing expansion project, signals that congestion stressors are driving a short- or medium-term impact rather than a long-term one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Background<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Big plans for the hub: <\/strong>DP World aims for London Gateway to become the biggest container port in the UK in terms of trade volume within the next five years, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2025\/05\/26\/today-rj-secures-a-usd-250-mn-loan-asyad-expands-fleet\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">committing<\/a> GBP 1 bn (c.

Unlike legacy carriers, they \"maximize the number of hours their aircraft fly\" and do not wait for connecting passengers, he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>From the top, Gulf carriers have moved from being simple long-haul competitors to <\/strong><strong>becoming local bypasses<\/strong>. Etihad is aggressively moving into what is known as \u201csecondary city\u201d hubs in Europe, with direct services to Prague, Warsaw, Tbilisi, and Bucharest \u2014 all routes that have historically been strong for Lufthansa. By offering different scheduling and price points, Gulf carriers are providing an alternative that renders the Frankfurt hub unnecessary for many travelers, Grant told us. \"Choice is what the market wants,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">The drivers: margin wars and tough policies-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>The gap is real: <\/strong>Middle Eastern carriers lead the industry with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iata.org\/en\/pressroom\/2025-releases\/2025-12-09-01\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">9.3% net margin<\/a> and a $28.60 net yield per passenger, while European peers struggle with just $10.90. The gap is so wide that the high margin in our region includes a spate of loss-making operators such as Kuwait Airways, Grant told EnterpriseAM.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Catching up on this gap is further complicated by Europe\u2019s tight compliance landscape, <\/strong>whereas the Gulf continues to build up its market power through state-backed incentives. Under the <a href=\"https:\/\/transport.ec.europa.eu\/transport-modes\/air\/environment\/refueleu-aviation_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RefuelEU<\/a>, carriers face a mandatory 2% SAF blend that started back in January 2025, with double-price <a href=\"https:\/\/geodis.com\/blog\/sustainable-logistics-and-decarbonation\/eu-saf-mandate-complete-guide-shippers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">penalties<\/a> for missing the target \u2014 something that Grant says is inevitable given SAF supply chain snags and price. Meanwhile, the UAE is making SAF goals <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sustainableaviationfutures.com\/saf-spotlight\/mena-uae-saf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">voluntary<\/a>, with 1% target and plans to produce some 700 mn liters of SAF annually by 2030.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>These policies have real market repercussions.<\/strong> For example, EU rules apply only at departure, meaning that a Paris-Doha-Singapore flight would require paying the green premium only on the first leg from Europe \u2013\u2013 a loophole that could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seo.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022-16-Aviation-fit-for-55-final-report-summary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">divert<\/a> around 24% of long-haul traffic to non-EU hubs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">The fix-<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left;padding: 12pt 0 12pt 0\"><strong>Mind your lane, win your race: <\/strong>Lufthansa\u2019s true challenge is internal \u2014 it must get its cost base, network, and distribution right, Grant told EnterpriseAM. While legacy airlines often try to be \"too smart and too clever,\" survival now depends on \"knowing what you're good at and staying with that,\" he added. Subsidizing feeders no longer works \u2014 instead, legacy carriers like Lufthansa need to focus on where they can still turn a positive margin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left;padding: 12pt 0 12pt 0\"><strong>This is why Lufthansa is now repositioning around long-haul <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/aerospace-defense\/lufthansa-projects-6-long-haul-flight-growth-2026-pursues-turnaround-2025-12-18\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">returns<\/a><\/strong><strong>. <\/strong>The group is targeting 6% capacity growth on long-haul passenger routes in 2026, anchoring a broader push to lift margins to 8%\u201310% between 2028 and 2030. Meanwhile, short-haul capacity growth will be deliberately capped, with efficiency \u2014 not volume \u2014 driving network decisions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align:

Frankfurt-Hethrow at the same time, carry more passengers, and attract more business traffic \u2014 while still feeding long-haul networks, Grant argued.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content
