      • Asian carriers will continue to fly high despite uncertainties
      • THE outlook for Asia's airline sector remains positive despite several new challenges which have emerged since the beginning of this year, including the sudden rise in oil prices, the unrest in the Middle East/North Africa and the devastating earthquake in Japan. These unexpected challenges impacted profits at nearly every Asian carrier during the calendar first quarter of 2011 but airlines in the region generally remain profitable and continue to outperform airlines from mature markets such as Europe and North America.

      • High oil prices fuelling more efficient airline technologies
      • IN today's cost-conscious environment, the single biggest expense for every airline is fuel. Just a decade ago, fuel accounted for about 15 per cent of airline operating expenses. Today, it stands at 35 per cent. It has been estimated that every dollar increase in the price of crude oil results in about US$1.6 billion in new costs each year.

      • Offering tailor-made services to customers
      • I HAVE a tailor that has been making my shirts for about five years. Sometimes, I consider going to other retail outlets, ones that may be cheaper, and some, for that matter, that may be more expensive. However, I keep going back to the same tailor year after year. Do you know why? Because every shirt I buy is tailored specifically for me. I can choose from different colours, pocket styles, stitching, buttons, collars or cuffs that best suit me, and the end result is always exactly what I want.
