Will the aviation industry survive??


Watch out Legacy Carriers....its gonna be a head on collision..
  What is the backbone of the tourism industry in Asia? ASEAN in particular???

Internet and Low Cost Carrier

Internet is effecting everyone in the world…we are now talking about M-Commerce….E-Commerce is obsolete!!!! The world is run by smartphones these days…If you don’t have a smartphone today, you will be left behind…consider yourself STUPID!!!...by the way…M-Commerce is for Mobile-Commerce….see what I mean by being left behind??

I'd rather do this than to take off my belt and shoes at Suvarnabumi, Bangkok
If you wish to fly International and you had this done when you're drunk on your stag night party???? Bummer!!
If  they can do it on trains and busses...why not planes??

Without the internet???? Low Cost Carriers will not exist…their Modus Operandi depends fully on the internet…When Walt Disney once said that the world will be dominated by a Mouse…He wasn’t talking about Mickey!! Its that thing u click next to your computer!!


A low-cost carrier or low-cost airline (also known as a no-frills, discount or budget carrier or airline or cheap flight) is an airline that generally has lower fares and fewer comforts. To make up for revenue lost in decreased ticket prices, the airline may charge for extras like food, priority boarding, seat allocating, and baggage etc.
 
The term originated within the airline industry referring to airlines with a lower operating cost structure than their competitors. While the term is often applied to any carrier with low ticket prices and limited services, regardless of their operating models, low-cost carriers should not be confused with regional airlines that operate short flights without service, or with full-service airlines offering some reduced fares.
 

In due course, some airlines have actively sought to market and advertise themselves as low-cost, budget, or discount airlines while maintaining products usually associated with traditional mainline carrier's services which often result in increased operational complexity. Among these products which tend increase complexity to reduce efficiency are preferred or assigned seating, catering other items rather than basic beverages, differentiated premium cabins, satellite or ground based wifi internet, and in-flight audio video entertainment. As such by advertising themselves as low-cost, this branch and category of airlines seek to gain a competitive marketing advantage over other similarly priced air transportation carrier's products; even though in actuality fare prices for the passenger may be parallel to other airline options due to the associated add-on fees low-cost, discount, or budget; are increasingly accessing travelers to appear less expensive than traditional network or airline alliance linked carriers.
No joke!!

No Frills Pilot!!
These are the LCC’s of ASIA
Use every inch of space!!

Okay...you caught me...I got most of that from Wikipedia..but believe you me, if I had spent a week in the library looking up on LCC...I'd get the same info!!! So work smart lah! That...my friend,.... is the power of the Internet!!! Muhahahaaa

There are 23 Low Cost Carriers based in ASEAN alone!!! LCC!!! Not including those legacy airlines like Singapore Airways, Malaysia, Royal Thai etc….

23 !!!

So what is the future of Airlines Business??? If you ask me….

 

LCC’s will eat up the market ….fly more people to more funny parts of the world…. Cheaper….people will stop complaining about the RM9.90 Nasi Lemak cause they already understand the business model. Infact they will start to question why do legacy carriers charge much more in ticket prices when their Nasi Lemak is no better….

 

Legacy Airlines will have to team up, shrink down and fight a losing battle all the way….put it this way….

The Legacy Airlines are gonna be those British Aristocrats in red jackets and pants that ballon up their arses on horseback going fox-hunting…with a bunch of hounds….still struggling to keep their pathetic lifestyles when the world’s perception of what is accepted in society have changed drastically….No, they will not wake up, infact they may just drop dead without any continuation plan…

 

My advice is…if you want the experience of flying on the new Double Decker A380 (Bought by legacy carriers)…do it now…its gonna be another Hindenberg Airship….going down in flames…just another Blimp in the history of aviation…unless they change their ways....drastically change...NOW!!!

 
So…? Its cheaper now than ever to fly....Let’s Jom !!!
