09:35	‘But Asia is Different’: The high level market outlook Oil prices, fluctuating economic conditions, protectionism/liberalisation, the challenge from the Gulf hubs and carriers, alliances, low-cost carriers and new entrants - the strategic mix for airline and airport CEOs is never dull. In particular Asia has seen a resurgence of hybrid strategies as competition in the low-cost space intensifies. Today there are things happening in Asia Pacific that do not or cannot occur elsewhere. • How are CEOs responding to new entrants and new airline models? • What operational and regulatory hurdles do they continue to face? • What opportunities exist for cross-industry collaboration? • Which markets are likely to prosper? Which show signs of stagnating? • Is demand sufficient to absorb Asia’s massive aircraft order book? • Is Gulf airline competition changing the region? • What are the long-term prospects for Asia’s airlines?

They are now challenging the traditional hubbing role and entering long-haul markets and tapping corporate markets. What’s next? • Is the order book sustainable? • What kind of annual growth can we expect over the next several years? • Will there be consolidation? • How is the LCC-to-LCC partnership model evolving? • What’s the model for partnering with full service airlines? • How are LCCs evolving their distribution strategies? • The role of airports and technology providers in facilitating LCC connectivity Moderator: CAPA - Centre for Aviation, Chief Analyst, Brendan Sobie Panellists: • Heidrick & Struggles, Partner, Con Korfiatis • Citilink, President & CEO, Albert Burhan • Jetstar Pacific, CEO, Le Hong Ha (TBC) • Navitaire, Head, Asia Pacific Product, John Aitken • Vietjet Air, Member of the Board of Directors, Chu Cuong
12:05	SE Asia panel two: The Single Aviation market: Are we condemned to the progress of the slowest-moving ship? An underlying philosophy among the 10 ASEAN governments is a multilateral goal to open up international air service markets among its members – “open skies”. Like any multilateral movement, it however becomes increasingly bogged down as the status quo is challenged. The ASEAN Single Aviation Market identified a 2015 deadline, and the feeling in the region is that the target won't be met in time. • What is the status of ASEAN economic integration? • Do recent incidents necessitate a requirement for technical integration? • Will protectionism rear its head in Asia, reversing the gains of the past decade? • Where to now for the Single Market?

16:15	Tapping Asia’s growth: How to make friends and influence people when you’re based outside Asia What’s different about Asia? Up until now, growth for any airline into new markets depended on the so-called ‘network effect’. Big airlines need feed, little airlines need feed. Where does it come from in a market where you don’t have any natural friends? Where does the new kid in town go to have fun? In this session, we explore alternative ways of growing the market through the use of technology and innovative commercial models that benefit long-haul spokes and short-haul hubs. • How are airlines refocusing their networks through partnerships? • Will this blow the Prorate model out on its ear? Will all stakeholders benefit, including the price conscious customer? • What new airline and partnership models could emerge to unlock growth in the Asian market? Moderator: CAPA - Centre for Aviation, Executive Chairman, Peter Harbison Panellists: • Finnair, VP Commercial Strategy & Planning, Hubertus Hessel • Royal Jordanian, CCO, Richard Nuttall • Travelport, Vice President Asia Pacific, Air Commerce, Damian Hickey
