World Low Cost Airlines Congress 09

World Low Cost Airlines Congress 09

The World Low Cost Airlines Congress comes to Barcelona this month, 29-30 September, and it could not be held at a more challenging time for the aviation sector.


Already reeling from record high fuel prices, the airline sector has had to deal with the financial crisis, global recession and a slump in demand. Many airlines fell by the wayside last winter and, as they now enter the traditionally toughest months of the year after the summer peak, more are predicted to follow this winter.


Low-cost carriers argue their model better equips them to survive the crisis then network carriers which have suffered a huge hit in premium demand. Yet the recent collapse of Central European budget carrier SkyEurope Airlines shows they are far from immune.


Join us as we talk to leading low-cost carrier executives and report from the World Low Cost Airlines Congress.
