Topic 2: Deregulation, Business Model, Route Structures, Fleet Selection
- 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
- Key objectives of frequent flyer programs (FFPs) include rewarding frequent customers, fostering loyalty, and securing long-term revenue streams.
- FFP management faces challenges in responding to traveller demands for real-time credit processing, instant reward access, and personalized service.
- Airline revenue and capacity optimization requires integrating FFP systems with revenue management for inventory allocation.
- Airlines utilize customer intelligence to improve marketing effectiveness and manage financial risks by monitoring unredeemed points.
- Pricing decisions are affected by operational costs, market demand, load factor, aircraft size, competition, route network, and distribution channels.
Topic 4: Airline Distribution, KPI, Airline Profitability
- 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.
- Airports generate revenue from aeronautical activities (e.g., landing fees, parking fees, passenger fees, ground handling fees)
- 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.
Topic 7: Cruise Trends & Innovation
- 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.
