Shukor Yusof: 作为一名航空咨询顾问,我认为捷星亚洲在新加坡运营21年但仅盈利6年,这表明其竞争力不足。尽管有澳航的支持,但随着新加坡运营成本的上升,以及酷航的成功,捷星亚洲的角色变得不那么重要。我认为,廉价航空的时代已经过去,现在的所谓低成本航空,实际上票价很高,与传统航空公司的差距正在缩小。此外,投资航空公司从来都不是一个好主意,因为航空业受到地缘政治冲突的影响,导致成本上升和航线改变。虽然新加坡政府对樟宜机场的扩建表明其对航空业的长期信心,但航空业正面临非常不同的阶段。 Nitin Pangarkar: 作为一名商学院教授,我认为航线竞争是关键,捷星亚洲可能在客流量少的航线上运营,导致成本上升。樟宜机场的定位是与多哈和迪拜竞争,而不是与吉隆坡和曼谷竞争,因此其成本必然较高。我认为,廉价航空和全方位服务航空公司的界限越来越模糊,机票价格也因座位而异。虽然我对航空业持悲观态度,但年轻一代更愿意为即时满足而消费,这可能在一定程度上支撑着航空业。我认为,我们对“便宜”的概念会随着时间而变化,它与我们的收入和奖金相关。
