| 09:35 | Panel: LCC development in South Korea - the accidental success story Korea was Northeast Asia’s first major LCC market and today remains the largest and most vibrant. This success was more by accident than design: there was no explicit policy to develop LCCs. With LCCs having created success on their own, what formal planning can be done to further grow the LCC sector? Can LCCs play a role in unlocking further connectivity between North and South Korea? Moderator: The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Assistant Professor, Jae Woon (June) Lee

| 10:20 | Panel: The new kids on the block: what’s in store for South Korea’s start ups? There’s been a flurry of activity from ambitious new airlines keen to dip their toes in the LCC pond, supported by a regulatory regime that has granted approval for start ups to launch from July-2018. But with six LCCs already in market, is there room for more? What are the growth plans of the country’s start ups? Which markets are they targeting? What is the nature of the regulatory and approval process? What can government do to support the sustainable growth of the industry? Moderator: Inha University, Professor, Yong-Hwa Park

| 11:40 | When the world comes to North Asia: ensuring the success of mega events continues long after the party is over The 2018 Winter Olympics may have come and gone in Pyeongchang but the hard work continues for destination marketers, with the Korea Tourism Organisation aiming to leverage on extensive Games coverage to further boost awareness of the country among the event planning community. With the next few editions of the Olympics returning to Tokyo and Beijing, the region needs to not only create the capacity and infrastructure to handle the massive influx of travellers but also ensure inbound markets remain healthy in the longer term - a challenge which many event host cities have faced. Korea Culture & Tourism Institute, Chief Researcher, International Tourism Research Division, Dr. Sung Tae Lee |
| 12:00 | Panel: Matchmaking for further growth – what are LCCs looking for in establishing new bases and what greater role is in store for alternative and secondary airports?
There’s been a surge in new airline-airport partnerships in recent times. Korean LCCs are expanding beyond their primary bases, with T’way and Jin Air setting up additional bases in Daegu and Busan respectively. Meanwhile Japan’s secondary airports are aggressively targeting international flights, particularly Korean LCCs, as well as LCCs (and full service airlines) from elsewhere in North Asia, including China. Also, the new Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge will provide a crucial (fast) road link between the three Pearl River Delta cities, and presents an opportunity for Macau to capitalise on Hong Kong’s growth constraints and attract more services.

| 14:05 | Fireside Chat: Japan: international growth – and consolidation? After first coming on to the scene in 2012, Japanese LCCs have steadily increased their share of the market, and now carry 1 in 10 domestic passengers - a significant achievement when viewed in the context of infrastructure constraints and the stickiness of Japanese consumers to the full service incumbents. The country’s LCCs may be seeking greener pastures in international markets but overlapping operations and the recent addition of a fifth LCC in the form of AirAsia Japan has brought up various consolidation scenarios and questions of whether the market is saturated. Is there a need for rationalisation? What form would this take? What are the potential partnership opportunities between Japan’s LCCs?

| 14:50 | Panel: Shattering the ceiling - the rise of women in Asian aviation It’s no secret that aviation is still very much a boys club, with only a handful of the world’s airlines headed up by female CEOs. Still, there's been a notable increase in the number of women executives who have risen through the ranks of Asian aviation, taking on roles in a wide range of areas from commercial through to operations. Hear from an array of women about their personal experience in this industry and how they are championing diversity in the workforce. Moderator: WebinTravel, Founder, Siew Hoon Yeoh

| 16:20 | LCC Retail: Maximising ancillary revenues via onboard retailing
LCCs are constantly looking at finessing their retailing and merchandising strategies – whether it’s during the booking phase, pre flight or onboard, with relevant, timely offers that are easily accessible (preferably via mobile) and easy to pay for. This is especially important in today’s digitalised environment, where onboard connectivity is virtually a must have and almost as critical for the traveller as getting to the destination. How can airlines make full use of their connected and captive audience – and generate healthy ancillary revenues in the process?
