MING KEI CHING

Abstract:

This main purpose of this study is to begin a preliminary investigation into low cost carriers (LCCs) models and explore more insights about their specific approaches and development in the region with focus on Hong Kong. After carrying out critical reviews on the LCCs operations in USA, Europe as well as other successful experience in the Asia Pacific region including Japan and Malaysia, a more detail analysis would be made in Hong Kong with particular reference to its unique environment and close proximity with PRC. Based on several case studies, key characteristics are identified and several significant factors are revealed and then discussed. In particular, the development of airport infrastructure as well as high speed rail (HSR) might also have an impact to the LCCs development in Hong Kong and could be further examined.
