Thai AirAsia CEO expects attractive offers from more Chinese airports

Thai AirAsia CEO Tassapon Bijleveld, speaking at the CAPA-ACTE Global Summit, stated (28-Oct-2016) he expects more Chinese airports to offer the airline attractive packages to support new routes. He said of the 20 Chinese airports now served by AirAsia about half approached the group "with a very good incentive package that we can't resist". Mr Tassapon expects more Chinese airports to offer similar packages as airport construction projects are completed. Several Chinese airports are planning new terminals or runways and will need more services from foreign airlines to fill the additional capacity.
