Top 10 questions on the minds of #Asia’s low cost #airline leaders

With low cost carriers in Asia expanding aggressively, spurred by increasing passenger traffic and fast economic growth, the competitive landscape is becoming even more intense. Over the past 2 weeks the Low Cost Airlines World Asia Pacific 2012 team has been busy engaging the industry’s leading stakeholders in conversations to determine their top interests and concerns.

Here are some of the top questions they have on their minds:

· Where are the remaining high growth opportunities left in Asia?

· How can we capitalise on the strong growth in passenger demand, especially from from China and India?

· Is the long haul, low cost business model profitable?

· How can LCCs overcome risks such as volatile fuel prices and economic or political instability?

· What are the e-commerce innovations to look out for in 2012?

· How can we capitalise on the increased time spent by customers on social media?

· How do I overcome regulatory barriers to enter new markets and destinations?

· How will I finance my airlines’ fleet and operational expansion?

· How do I drive my operating costs even lower without sacrificing safety and quality?

· How can I grow revenue from ancillary products and services?

To answer some of these questions we have once again turned to the industry’s thought leaders for insights. Our high-level panel of speakers continues to grow each year and now, as early as 6 months before LCA World Asia Pacific 2012, which will be held in Singapore from 08 to 10 February 2012, the program is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever.
