AirAsia Japan plans launch with domestic and Korean flights

24-Apr-12 10:29 AM

Japan's aviation scene, which had few significant movements over the past decade, will be turned on its head in just five months, encompassing the time three new low-cost carriers will enter the market, the latest of which is AirAsia Japan. Preliminary schedules show AirAsia Japan and Jetstar Japan, both based at Tokyo Narita, will compete head on from Tokyo to Fukuoka, Okinawa and Sapporo. The market, which has grown accustomed to the presence of two main carriers and a handful of smaller ones with little movement in fares, will be inundated with new and aggressive competition offering typical LCC fare stimulation. Adjustment time will be brief as AirAsia Japan within two months is due to enter short-haul international markets.

Yet despite the compactness of LCC activity, preliminary nuances in strategy are emerging between the carriers. Jetstar is favouring domestic flights, partially replicating its extensive domestic operations in Australia and New Zealand whereas AirAsia has a greater regional emphasis, reflecting its experience in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. Peach is more conservative but building both a domestic and international network. 

Worldwide Airport Charges Review: May-October 2009

20-Oct-09 5:25 PM

In Jun-2009, The Centre published a survey of airport charges and incentives increases and decreases from around the world in the first half of 2009. It concluded that, in times of economic difficulties and declining traffic, one might expect airport charges to be dwindling or at least being revised downwards to attract new routes or even just to retain existing business. In fact, while that was the case, as airlines and trade organisations made their voice felt, it was also notable that charges were in some cases increasing. Since then, similar trends have been observed, but what really stands out is the breadth and variety of organisations that are now prepared to pitch into the debate on the value of such taxes and charges.
