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is obsolete!!!!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.

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
!!!
