CAPA Report: Low cost airports and terminals (LCATs) 2015 - Can Asia learn from models elsewhere?

In 2006 and 2009 CAPA published a popular management report on Low Cost Airports and Terminals (LCATs). At the time, LCATs were very much in favour within the budget airline business as that segment grew rapidly worldwide.

Less than a decade on the Low Cost Carrier (LCC) segment is still growing, albeit a little less rapidly now as markets increasingly reach maturity, and as can be observed from the chart below.

Accordingly the construction of LCATs has slowed in some regions. Overall, while there some new LCATs on the planning board, the trend more recently has been and is to move away from building these facilities in some parts of the world.

CAPA's LCC Airports Congress, attended by some 20 CEOs of Asian LCCs and airports, is to be held in Bangkok on 15-Sep-2015. The full CAPA Low Cost Airports Report 2015 is available for download.
