Hamburg to Host CAPA Low Cost Long Haul
Global Summit in 2019
Hamburg, Germany has been selected as the host
city for the second annual CAPA Low Cost Long Haul Global Summit.
The 2019 CAPA Low Cost Long Haul Global Summit
will be held 10-11 October 2019 at the Grand Elysée Hotel Hamburg.
Peter Harbison, CAPA – Centre for Aviation
executive chairman ,said, “After the success of the inaugural Low Cost
Long Haul Summit in Seville in October, we are pleased to be bringing this
important discussion back for another year. We are delighted to be partnering with Hamburg Convention Bureau and Hamburg Airport, the
gateway to such an intriguing destination that our delegates will
thoroughly enjoy.”
New aircraft technologies, evolving passenger
preferences and stable fuel prices have pushed LCCs (and
restructuring full service airlines) to consider new growth
opportunities in longer sectors. High fare long haul markets are
ripe for disruption and airports/destinations are aggressively
courting new routes. New city pairs are emerging, and secondary
airports are featuring regularly in the long haul low cost
networks.
But it’s not just fuel efficient widebody
equipment that are changing the game – the new long haul
narrowbodies are opening up vast new opportunities for airlines,
and they’ll be entering the fleets of airlines around the world in
large numbers in the coming years. The implications are profound,
touching the entire travel value chain from airports to
accommodation, ground transportation, distribution/payment and
technology.
Michael Eggenschwiler, Hamburg Airport CEO,
said, “We are delighted and proud that
Hamburg will be hosting the CAPA Low Cost Long Haul Global Summit
in October 2019. The première in Seville demonstrated the great
interest for this new event in the industry calendar. The low-cost
long-haul segment represents an exciting field. In conjunction
with the development of more flexible and modern aircraft such as
the Airbus A321neoLR and Boeing’s 737MAX, it offers a great deal
of potential, and we will be engaging in depth with this aspect of
the future in Hamburg.”
Hamburg Airport hosts domestic,
regional and international passenger, cargo and charter services
from over 60 airlines, with low lost carriers making up 46 percent
of total seat capacity.
