12:45	LCCs in Asia Pacific: two decades of steady market share gains Low cost airlines were late to arrive in Asia. At the turn of the century there were only two very small LCCs operating in all of Asia Pacific, whereas LCCs had already captured significant market share in Europe and North America. LCCs in Asia have since expanded rapidly and successfully, despite fierce resistance from legacy full service airlines. LCCs now account for nearly 30% of capacity within Asia Pacific. There are still opportunities for further capacity share gains as several major markets in Asia remain well below the global average. China particularly is punching below its weight in terms of LCCs. LCCs accounted for 29% seat capacity within Asia Pacific in 2018, compared to 14% in 2008 and virtually zero in 1998. LCCs now account for more than 50% of domestic capacity in seven Asian markets. LCCs now account for more than 30% of international capacity in six Asian markets. Of the 20 largest markets in Asia Pacific, the international penetration rate is higher than the global average in 16 of those markets.

13:30	Lunch & Networking Hosted by Corporate Travel Community
14:30	Distribution and digital transformation: Impact of LCCs in North Asia New distribution models and IATA NDC specifically have been the topic of conversation for a number of years now, but have largely been seen as the domain of the full service airlines. However, the standard is not limited to this airline model or to IATA members, so why should low cost carriers care about these developments in the industry?

15:05	Digital transformation in a connected aviation ecosystem Part of the growing success of LCCs around the world is their ability to tap into key technologies to access their customer base and improve processes. How can LCCs leverage on technology to improve business performance and operational efficiency? What new airport technologies are available for LCCs to improve business efficiencies? Moderator: Aviation Cooperation Program, Program Director, Sandeep Bahl Panel: Collins Aerospace, Sales Director, APAC, Stephen Robinson Kiwi.com, Head of Airline Partnerships, Marco van Ieperen SITA, Vice President & General Manager, Sanjeev Kumar Spring Airlines, Deputy General Manager IT, Xiaowei Qu

16:20	Accessing the future traveller - What drives the future traveller’s decision process? The future traveller is being driven by the information age and has therefore forced airlines to constantly look for new and exciting ways to provide innovations in flight deck, cabin, airport and communication technologies. Setting themselves apart is key to success for any supplier, especially when the passenger’s decision making process becoming more and more focused on deliverables rather than just cost. What is driving passenger behaviours? What new and exciting ways exist for LCCs to communicate and market to new travellers? How LCCs can help passengers stay connected while on board? There are a range of tools available to airlines which could influence traveller behaviours, including: Distribution capabilities and passenger retailing; In-flight connectivity solutions Cabin interiors; and Many more Moderator: CAPA – Centre for Aviation, Chief Analyst, Brendan Sobie Panel: Air Black Box Company, Founder, Timothy O’Neil-Dunne Eznis Airways, CEO, Tamir Tumurbaatar Skyscanner, Commercial Director, Gavin Harris
