What Drives the Market for Air Travel? (1) Policy Changes Open Skies / Liberalization Relaxing Visa Requirements 2014: reciprocal extension of B1/B2 visa for US-China to 10 years Introducing Visa Waiver Brunei (1993), Japan (1988), Rep. of Korea (2008), Singapore (1999), Taiwan (2012) Page 8

The key difference is the population! Billions vs. Millions Source: Boeing Current Market Outlook 2016, World Bank Page 10
What Drives the Demand for Air Travel? (3) A Growing Middle Class In Asia, the middle class is HUGE and growing rapidly Millions 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1,000 500-2015 2025 2035 North America Europe & CIS Other Asia-Pacific Middle class = $20k - $150k (PPP) in 2014 prices Demographic factors also important. In Vietnam, for example, over 40% of the population is 25 or younger. Young people are traveling. Source: Airbus Global Market Forecast 2016 Page 11

LCC Market Penetration LCCs now operate ~ 60% of capacity in SE Asia In the ASEAN, between 2008-2012: Markets served by full service carriers unchanged. Markets served by LCCs by 50%. Source: CAPA In NE Asia, LCC market share < 10%. LCC penetration and capacity adding to challenging yield environment Page 16 Lots of that service is international. Will LCCs consider the trans- Pacific?

Asia-Pacific Aviation Facing Infrastructure Challenges Chronic congestion and delays already evident in some areas Runways near capacity at many airports: PEK, HKG, MNL, SIN Terminals near capacity: PEK, MNL, ICN, BKK Other key supporting infrastructure lagging, including surface transportation and tourism sector (hotel space) Airlines in the Asia-Pacific are encouraging their national governments to take on greater responsibility for coordination, planning, and making needed long-term investments. Industry and government need to work together on these issues. Page 21
