Overview

Asia has redistributed the skies. Where just a few decades ago only state-owned airlines dominated the airspace, today a vibrant system of hundreds of low-cost airlines, technology platforms and new forms of mobility has established itself. Low-cost flying is much more than a price-driven business model - it is the symbol of an Asian modernity that combines growth, technology and social openness. This book comprehensively traces how the low-cost flight market in Asia has developed into one of the most dynamic and complex air traffic areas in the world. It analyses economic structures, political conditions and cultural significance - from the pioneering years of deregulation to the current issues of sustainable, digital and urban air mobility. On this basis, a portrait emerges of a region that is rethinking the global skies. Asia is no longer the laggard in aviation history, but its laboratory of the future. It is here that it will be decided whether mobility will be limitless or responsible in the future - and whether flying, the symbol of the 20th century, will find its place in a sustainable world in the 21st century. This is the third volume in a series on the future of global low-cost aviation. Following analyses of Europe and America, this volume focuses on the rise of Asian low-cost aviation as an economic, technological and cultural system - and looks far beyond the horizon to the coming decades of flying.
