Japan will soon have five LCCs that have been launched since 2012. Can they all find a niche? Many are part of dual-brand strategies with a parent airline. What is the role, opportunity and challenge of the group? They are increasingly growing faster in the international market. Are foreign passengers more receptive to LCCs? How long until the domestic Japanese market embraces LCCs? What is the impact of the LCCs on the full-service airlines and Japan's "new entrant" airlines?
