LCC CEOs to lead discussions at CAPA North Asia LCC Summit, Tokyo, Jun-7/8-2016

Analysis

Leaders of North Asia's low cost carriers (LCCs) will gather in Narita on Jun-7/8 for CAPA's North Asia LCC Summit.

Hosted by Narita Airport, the Summit marks 12 years of CAPA's flagship series of LCC events in Asia and marks CAPA's second return to Japan.

Featuring over 40 speakers, including senior executives from all of North Asia's LCCs, and with simultaneous translation in English, Japanese, Korean and Mandarin, the Summit will explore the commercial drivers for LCC growth in this region, as the market opens.

North Asia has yet to experience the rapid expansion of LCCs that has occurred in Southeast Asia - but that is changing quickly.
