The evolution of the airline-airport interface

Keeping pace with the changing operational requirements of airlines is complex, with LCCs in particular demanding their own unique features: low costs, simple facilities and quick turnarounds among factors. But as long haul low cost airlines start to proliferate globally and behave more like full service carriers, the need for connectivity becomes critical.

• Low cost long haul to short haul connectivity: How do airports identify self connecting passengers and provide the infrastructure to keep them landside?
• What is virtual interlining and what are the implications for LCC-LCC connectivity?
• What role can airports play in facilitating virtual interlining?
