CAPA reaches host agreement with Airports of Thailand for LCC Airports Congress in Bangkok

CAPA is delighted to announce a host partnership with Airports of Thailand (AOT) for the landmark first annual LCC Airports Congress, in Bangkok on 15 September 2015. LCCs have had a vital role to play in the development of travel and tourism across the Asia Pacific region over the past decade. Airports, governments and key industry stakeholders are showing an increasing understanding the distinct needs and challenges of the LCC sector. This first annual LCC Airports Congress aims to further this understanding and drive our industry forward.

LCCs now account for more than one in four airline seats worldwide, whereas within Southeast Asia close to three in every five seats are now produced by LCCs. Low cost carriers (LCCs) now account for some 36% of air capacity in Bangkok, according to the latest figures from the AOT.
