  • Airline deregulation involves the reduction or elimination of government control in the airline industry, promoting competition and potentially lower fares for consumers.
  • Air Services Agreements (ASAs) govern international aviation, negotiated between countries (bilateral or multilateral). ASAs determine which airlines can operate, routes, and flight frequencies/capacity.
  • Open Skies Agreements (OSAs) are a type of ASA offering unrestricted landing rights between signatory countries. Singapore has many OSAs.
  • Singapore's aviation policy promotes free and open competition to boost trade, investment, and tourism, adopting a liberal approach to negotiating ASAs.
  • Benefits of deregulation for airlines include greater operational flexibility (routes and pricing).
  • Benefits for travelers/tourism include expanded market reach and attracting international customers.

Topic 3: Airline Marketing, Pricing, Partnership, Ancillary

  • Airline distribution traditionally uses global distribution systems (GDS) and online travel agents (OTAs) for indirect channels.
  • Direct channels involve airline reservation systems, call centers, and e-commerce.
  • Traditional channels lack personalization and tailored offerings.
  • New Distribution Capabilities (NDCs) using Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) allow for more personalized airline product communications.
  • Airlines use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure performance and operating efficiency (e.g., Available Seat Kilometers (ASK), Revenue Passenger Kilometers (RPK), and other metrics).

Topic 5: Airport Economics, Relationship & Customer Experience

  • Airports traditionally were publicly owned. Privatization and deregulation led to commercialization and privatization.
  • Commercialization and corporatisation transform airports from government ownership to independent business entities, often focusing on revenue generation.

  • Non-aeronautical revenues include those from retail, duty-free shopping, and food and beverage outlets.

Topic 6: Airport Competition & Success Factors

  • Airports compete with each other and other transport modes (e.g., high-speed rail).
  • Airports often compete to become the preferred choice for passengers and airlines.
  • Factors influencing customer choice include flight availability, airfares, flight frequency, airline reliability, airport accessibility, quality, and reputation.
  • Success factors for airports include strong government support, strategic planning, service excellence, strong global and local economies, and strong geographic location.
  • Cruise industry is investing in environmentally responsible practices (e.g., advanced technologies, waste management).
  • Community collaboration with ports and destinations is prioritised to maximize tourism benefits for locals.
  • Technological advancements (e.g., smart ship technology, apps) enhance the guest experience and increase connectivity.
  • Themed cruises are becoming popular, offering unique experiences beyond sightseeing (e.g., wellness, culinary, adventure, etc.)
  • Muslim-friendly and other niche cruises are also a growing segment.

Topic 8: Cruise Opportunities, Challenges and Developments

  • The Asian cruise market has significant growth potential.
  • Favorable conditions for growth in Asia include year-round warm weather, diverse landscapes, and tourist attractions; varied destinations attract a range of interests; and high-quality ship options available at competitive prices.
  • Infrastructure development alongside the increased availability of cruise ship facilities play a significant role for the industry in Asia
  • Cruise lines are increasingly using technology;
  • Modernizing cruise ports, and embracing environmental sustainability, alongside a strong local ecosystem, contribute to success.
