Overview[edit]

Quawer International Airport has four runways (36L/18R, 36R/18L, 37L/19R and 37R/19L). The inner runways 36R/18L and 37L/19R were opened in 2003 when the airport was inaugurated. The construction of the other two runways, 36L/18R and 37R/19L, started right after the inauguration, on 31 July 2003. Four years later in 2007, the construction work finished and the runways were opened one month later, on 1 May 2007. Nowadays, all the runways are busy, especially during the afternoon hours between 13.00pm and 16.00pm. All runways are capable to be a landing platform for Airbus A380 and Boeing 747 aircraft. All runways have Category III instrument landing systems (ILS).

Runway usage[edit]

Runway 36L/18R is used primarily for landings from south and northbound take-offs. The runway tends to see fewer aircraft operations than the inner two runways, due to the longer distance to the terminal area. Runway 36R/18L is used for landings from north and take-offs to the south. It is the busiest runway at the airport. The runway has highspeed aircraft acceleration ramps, which provides faster aircraft operations. Runway 37L/19R is used for landings from south and northbound take-offs. This runway also has highspeed aircraft acceleration ramps and thus it is also one of the busiest runways at the airport. Runway 37R/19L is used primarily for landings from north and southbound take-offs. It also has same issues as the runway 36L/18R.

Since 1972, Los Angeles World Airports has adopted the "Preferential Runway Use Policy" to minimize noise. During daylight hours (0630 to 0000), the normal air traffic pattern is the "Westerly Operations" plan, named for the prevailing west winds. Under "Westerly Operations", departing aircraft take off to the west, and arriving aircraft approach from the east. To reduce noise from arriving aircraft during night hours (0000 to 0630), the air traffic pattern becomes "Over-Ocean Operations". Under "Over-Ocean", departing aircraft continue to take off to the west, but arriving aircraft approach from the west unless otherwise required to approach from the east due to reduced visibility or easterly winds. As the name implies, "Easterly Operations" is used when prevailing winds have shifted to originate from the east, typically during inclement weather and Santa Ana conditions. Under "Easterly Operations", departing aircraft take off to the east, and arriving aircraft approach from the west.

The "inboard" runways (06R/24L and 07L/25R, closest to the central terminal area) are preferred for departures, and the "outboard" runways are preferred for arrivals. During noise-sensitive hours (2200 to 0700) and "Over-Ocean Operations", the "inboard" runways are used preferentially, with arrivals shifting primarily to 06R/24L and departures from 07L/25R. Historically, over 90% of flights have used the "inboard" departures and "outboard" arrivals scheme.[1]

The South Airfield Complex tends to see more operations than the North, due to a larger number of passenger gates and air cargo operations.[1] Runways in the North Airfield Complex are separated by 700 feet (210 m). Plans have been advanced and approved to increase the separation by 260 feet (79 m), which would allow a central taxiway between runways, despite opposition from residents living north of LAX. The separation between the two runways in the South Airfield Complex has already increased by 55 feet (17 m) to accommodate a central taxiway.

Route development[edit]

In the 2010s, Finnair has expanded its network significantly by increasing flights to several destinations worldwide and opening new destinations. Finnair continued expanding in the Chinese market in 2011 when the carrier announced flights to Chongqing.[88] In 2012, Finnair announced non-stop flights to Xi'an, its fourth destination in mainland China. In the same year, seasonal services to Lisbon and Pisa were terminated, but service to Dubrovnik was opened. In 2013, the carrier introduced new twice-weekly service to Tel Aviv. In 2014, Finnair launched the new seasonal service to Miami. Next year, a route to Chicago was opened, replacing the American Airlines service. Also in 2015, Finnair announced the resumption of Guangzhou-service and the launch of flights to Fukuoka. In 2017, the airline resumed flights San Francisco. Also, Finnair started direct scheduled flights to Havana, Puerto Plata and Puerto Vallarta. In 2018, the airline commenced a year-round service to Nanjing, the sixth destination in China.

Within the past decade, Finnair has expanded its network significantly by increasing flights to several destinations worldwide and opening new destinations. In 2010, Finnair had only 10 long-haul destinations with scheduled flights while as of November 2018, the airline has 26 long-haul destinations, including 7 in North America.[89][90] At the beginning of the decade, India was considered as the "priority market" by the airline and Finnair planned to launch additional flights to Indian cities such as Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Mumbai. Despite Finnair did not launch flights to these Indian cities, the carrier has recently expanded the offering in India by launching flights Goa and adding additional weekly frequencies to Delhi.

Finnair has grown the foothold especially in China by adding new destinations within the past 6 years, including Chongqing, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Xi'an. Additional frequencies have also been added to Hong Kong that has been served with 14 weekly flights as of April 2019. Previously, Finnair has not been able to expand in China when it comes to the number of flights to already served destinations due to the restrictions at the airports. After gaining a permit to fly to Beijing with 14 flights per week, Finnair announced new three-weekly service to Beijing Daxing and thus will be serving Beijing with 10 weekly flights as of November 2019.

However, Finnair has not only expanded in Asia but also on trans-Atlantic flights with Havana, Puerto Vallarta, San Francisco and Los Angeles having been added to the route network recently.

Air Savonia is a Finnish low-cost airline based at Helsinki Airport and headquartered in Savonlinna, Finland. The airline initially commenced operations on 8 June 2018 but ceased operations only a few days later, on 13 June 2018, citing to a difficult financial situation at the moment. However, the airline immediately restarted operations with one Boeing 737 aircraft. At the moment of shut down, the airline operated to 7 destinations in Europe and Russia with the same amount of aircraft, including one McDonnell Douglas MD87 and Boeing 737 aircraft.

After the resumption of operations, the CEO of Air Savonia revealed ambitious plans for the future including numerous new destinations and aircraft as well as the possible launch of intercontinental flights to United States, India and other cities in Southeast Asia. Possible new destinations included Amsterdam, Lisbon, Paris, Rome, New York, Bangalore, Delhi, Bangkok, Singapore. Currently, the airline serves 51 international destinations and one domestic destination, on 4 different continents. On 23 June 2018, Air Savonia commenced long-haul operations with a new route to Delhi, India via Baku, Azerbaijan and now, on 17 August 2018, the carrier operates on 32 intercontinental routes from Helsinki.

Development plans[edit]

Air Savonia has been successful since the relaunch and thus the airline plans to expand its network even further. The airline launched long-haul flights in May 2020 and plans to add new destinations in the future. The North America has been mentioned as a possible future market and the airline plans to serve New York, Seattle and Toronto. Additionally, Air Savonia aims to increase its presence in China. Southeast Asian metropolises are also under the airline's radar. Current aircraft operating on the long-haul routes will be replaced with Boeing 787 Dreamliners. The narrow-body fleet is also going to be renewed and negotiations are taking place between Airbus and Boeing.

Air Savonia plans to replace all ATR 42 and ATR 72 aircraft with Embraer E190 jets.
