Video of the week - LCCs in North Asia: industry perspectives

16 July, 2019

LCCs have been rarely out of the news over the past 20 years as they disrupted market after market. And ever since, full service airlines have been learning from the often revolutionary methodology applied by the LCC model, in such areas as ancillary revenue as well as operational efficiencies and cost reduction. Equally, as LCCs proliferated and entered new markets, many sought to diversify, creating systems that mimicked their older peers.

CAPA - Centre for Aviation looked closely at the industry in North Asia at its CAPA LCCs in North Asia Summit, which had more than ten hours of agenda content. Here's full coverage of the panel sessions from the event at the Radisson Blu Cebu, in the heart of Cebu City.
