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.
