10:45 SESSION 5: The evolving airline models that are changing the world

As full service airlines seek to respond to short and long haul low cost operators and to target different market segments, LCCs too are adapting to a new future. Network operations are no longer the preserve of full service airlines alone. Full service airlines are taking LCCs and other models under their wing, new aircraft types are opening up new avenues for smaller city pair operations.

As new airline entrants are increasingly enabled to innovate by new aircraft models with expanded range and capacity, the profile of city pair development promises to be transformed.

The impacts on connectivity are many and varied, but ultimately there is a great range of added choice for consumers. These changes are already starting to happen, partially accelerated by the need to bypass congested hubs. What does this do for the future shape of connectivity, on the North Atlantic, within Europe and looking eastwards to Asia?

Equally, as the number of full service airline subsidiaries proliferates, many new strategic issues are raised. The degree of separation between parent and daughter airline is defined by such matters as management and staff partitioning, connectivity, interlining and codesharing, branding – as well as the ability or otherwise to participate in the global alliance based joint ventures.

Our panel of experts will review best (and other) practice, drawing from their own experience and from observing others.

  • Establishing and operating airline subsidiaries: best practice and where to next?
  • How big will the impact be as new long haul LCCs, narrowbody long haul, airline subsidiaries and various new versions of connectivity emerge?

12:20 Leadership Panel Discussion

The business of aviation & travel is a core driver of economic growth, social liberalisation, and technological change. It is a global industry impacting citizens of wealthy and developing countries alike. With such a wide audience, it is increasingly incumbent on our industry to also be a “leader in leadership” – by helping people and organisations within the industry adjust, shape and take advantage in the best way possible of the myriad of possibilities. From setting out bold and visionary goals, helping to define & represent an industry perspective, to steering competing organisations to cooperate for mutual benefit, join our closing executive panellists as they discuss the challenges of leadership against such a varied and changeable environment.
