Airports worldwide adapting to the demands of the LCCs - new study released

The air transport business has undergone a massive transformation, accelerated by the economic malaise of the past 18 months since the first edition of the 'Low Cost Airports & Terminals' (LCAT) report was published by the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation in February 2008. The airports and terminals referred to in the original edition were conceived and instigated largely during a period of comparative economic boom. That boom was replaced by bust, but the Low Cost Carriers (LCCs) have, so far, survived better than the legacy carriers, and have even profited from their demise in many cases.
