Peach to launch Japan's LCC sector with two-tier fare structure and basic ancillary options

31-Dec-11 10:10 PM

2012 will see the rapid entrance of the low-cost model in Japan, a market whose high focus on service had been used as an excuse for why a la carte LCCs could not gain a standing in the country. The country's first LCC to come to market, Peach Aviation, has released its launch fare structure that offer discounts upwards of 58%. Despite fares significantly lower from full-service competitors, its ancillary options are so far basic, leaving room for improvement from established LCC brands AirAsia and Jetstar, who will enter the market in 2012 with their AirAsia Japan and Jetstar Japan subsidiaries.

While Peach's offerings may be underwhelming for those versed in LCC commercial strategy, they will still come as a shock to the Japanese, who have broadly not experienced a home-grown LCC. While Peach will have the first mover advantage in the market, it will also be the first to help the market adjust to LCC pricing strategies, which AirAsia and Jetstar will build on. Peach too can also be expected to expand its offering.

Japan crisis: Travellers urged to leave Tokyo, air fares spike, flights cut. 71 airlines hit

18-Mar-11 2:05 PM

For travellers and local residents, the situation in Tokyo is deteriorating amid rolling power cuts, infrastructure problems and ongoing aftershocks, while rising concerns over the Fukushima nuclear plant has prompted several governments around the world to advise its residents to avoid travelling to Tokyo or leave the city/country entirely.

More than 30 airlines consider IPOs as market improves

14-Oct-10 4:42 PM

There are more than 30 airlines around the world that have publicly talked about tapping equity markets to help diversify funding sources, coinciding with an improved economic environment. Aircraft deliveries are also accelerating, with more than 1,300 aircraft scheduled for delivery this year alone, prompting the need for additional financing.

At least a dozen airlines considering IPOs, but how many will get off the ground?

13-May-10 4:20 PM

There are at least a dozen airlines around the world that have publicly talked about tapping equity markets to help diversify funding sources as they seek to fill significant aircraft orders. But timing is everything and some of the IPO plans covered in this report have been around for several years, just waiting for conditions to ripen. Europe’s sovereign debt woes have however sparked a fresh wave of volatility in global equity markets, spooking investors and would-be sellers. In early May-2010, the Indonesian Government deferred the long-awaited IPO of flag carrier, Garuda Indonesia, while Philippine LCC, Cebu Pacific last month shelved its IPO until some time after national elections. Other deferrals could be forthcoming.

Japan’s forgotten airlines: the Japanese LCC segment

7-Jan-10 5:19 PM

Japan’s two major airlines – Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways – have featured prominently in the news of late, but very little is known about Japan’s low cost carriers, despite five LCCs operating in the market for most of last decade. They are mostly small and fairly fragile, but JAL's tribulations and the opening of a new runway at Tokyo Haneda Airport later this year could finally give them the opportunity to soar.

LCCs in Japan, Korea and China. Massive growth potential to be realised in the next decade

27-Nov-09 11:30 AM

The second decade of the 21st century will see low cost airlines arrive on a massive scale in North Asia. The region has not seen significant low cost airline entry to date – one of the few parts of the world to have missed the phenomenon. It is a major anomaly in this respect, because the geography, economy and demography of the three neighbouring countries of Japan, South Korea and China offer near-ideal conditions for LCC growth.
