To become major hubs, South-east Asia’s new airports need strong national carriers

Singapore still a leading air hub, but managing costs crucial to retaining its edge, says sales agent Aviareps

In the rapidly evolving landscape of Southeast Asia's aviation sector, the emergence of new airports presents both opportunities and challenges for established hubs. According to Marcelo Kaiser, the chief operating officer of aviation at Aviareps, the success of these new projects hinges on the presence of robust national carriers.

"There is no successful air hub without a strong national carrier behind it," Kaiser stated to The Business Times. While Singapore remains a dominant air hub, the report warns that the city-state must manage its costs effectively to maintain its competitive edge in an increasingly cost-conscious environment.
