At the other end of the spectrum, Asia’s
network carriers include some of the 
largest, oldest, and most well-regarded 
airlines in the world, such as Korean Air, 
Hub operations significantly increase
network reach and allow carriers to offer 
convenient, one-stop connections around 
the globe. Additionally, traditional Asia 
Pacific network carriers are evolving 
their businesses to satisfy passenger 
needs. They are continually upgrading 
their fleets for efficiency. Some—such 
as Qantas, Singapore Airlines, and Thai 
Airways—have also created their own 
LCCs to offer products that are similar 
to what other LCCs offer but without 
diluting their premium product offerings.
