A View From 2025: Route Networks Of The Future, New Entrants, Long Haul Low Cost Airlines
The combined impact of the Gulf carriers and LCCs has forced established hub carriers to review their models and find new ways of competing.
There is more. China’s massive array of potential gateways and constant flow of new entrants (CAPA has identified 17 Chinese airlines which will operate widebodies by 2020), and the introduction of smaller long haul widebody aircraft capable of serving non-hubs, are all adding new layers to these changes. Low cost operations are mutating, with connectivity, business traveller friendliness, and long haul LCC operations added to the mix.
These are exciting developments for travellers, airports, local economies - and for airlines themselves. The certainty is, in this melting pot, innovation will be prominent.
