Abstract
This research is a methodology to measure the position of hub airports in Southeast Asia. The purpose of this research was to measure the number of indirect connecting flights in ASEAN. The documents used for this research were the statistics of annual reports between 2003 and 2012 of ten airports. Four methods of analysis were used: Netscan model, Concentration ratio, Herfindahl-Hirschman index, and Comprehensive concentration index. Market share in ASEAN airports is dominated by five big companies: Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) in Thailand, Changi International Airport (SIN) in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) in Malaysia, Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) in the Philippines and Sugarno Hatta International Airport (CGK) in Indonesia. The first three are of these airports are major hubs for the ASEAN region. The analysis presented in this research may be helpful for airports or airlines in identifying their network performance and position in relation to their competition.
Highlights
In 2015 the Asian Economic Community (AEC) will be established. It will be composed of ten member countries in the Asian region, and would be served by their respective airports: Singapore’s Changi International Airport (SIN), Cambodia’s Phnom Pehn International Airport (PNH), Brunei’s Brunei international Airport (BWN), Indonesia’s Sugarno Hatta International Airport (CGK), Lao PDR’s Wattay International Airport (VTE), Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), Myanmar’s Rangoon International Airport (RGN), the Philippines’ Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL), Thailand’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK), and Vietnam’s Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) [1]
The objective of this research is to measure the ability of airports in the ASEAN region to become regional hubs
The study focused only on indirect flights which use the main airports of ten ASEAN countries, and found that Changi International Airport to be the most suitable because it has the most connecting flights
Summary
In 2015 the Asian Economic Community (AEC) will be established. It will be composed of ten member countries in the Asian region, and would be served by their respective airports: Singapore’s Changi International Airport (SIN), Cambodia’s Phnom Pehn International Airport (PNH), Brunei’s Brunei international Airport (BWN), Indonesia’s Sugarno Hatta International Airport (CGK), Lao PDR’s Wattay International Airport (VTE), Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), Myanmar’s Rangoon International Airport (RGN), the Philippines’ Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL), Thailand’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK), and Vietnam’s Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) [1]. AEC helps its member countries to negotiate with their trade partners and enhance trade competition. The projected increase in tourism within AEC countries will result in more competition between airlines. All airlines need to reduce their costs and gain the largest market share
