Event: 2nd Annual Indian Subcontinent & Middle East Low Cost Airline Symposium 2005
When: October 6-7 2005
Where: Grand Hyatt, Mumbai
Organiser: Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation
This event follows the success of the first symposium we held on this subject last year in New Delhi, which attracted almost 300 delegates and numerous high profile international speakers.
Since then, developments in the low cost airline sector have continued at a dramatic rate. Barely a week goes by without news of yet another prospective start-up carrier’s plans, encouraged by dramatic traffic growth approaching 20-30% in a number of countries.
Strong economic growth has combined with increasingly affordable fares to unlock significant pent up demand for travel. The implications for the aviation and travel industries across the region are immense.
The low cost airline sector has grabbed the imagination of Indian and Middle-East aviation and is growing at a fantastic pace. Following the Paris Air Show, the market is attracting significant attention all over the world.
This 2nd Annual Low Cost Airline Symposium focusing on the Indian Subcontinent and the Middle East region will attract hundreds of delegates, including a large international contingent, with the CEO of practically every current and prospective airline in the region present, and several from Asia and Europe.
The programme will cover many aspects of this dynamic region, including:
- Market overview and outlook for traffic growth
- How many airlines can the market sustain?
- Funding the start-up carriers
- Evaluating the different low cost models
- Strategic directions for incumbent carriers
- Aviation policy and low cost airlines
- Are airports ready to handle the boom?
- Low cost airports/ terminals models
- Innovations in low cost distribution
- Implications for the growth of tourism
