Asia Pacific airline capacity spurs new airline entry, offshore bases

Analysis

A surge in capacity for Asia Pacific and Middle East airlines will result in one of the busiest years in new airline activity in the region this decade. Several carriers are also preparing to establish offshore hubs through cross-border JVs, as well as through the utilisation of increasing rights available under more liberal air services agreements. Extra domestic hubs are also planned by some carriers.
