• TravelRave events provide the perfect platforms to network, allowing airlines to strike unique partnershi­ps to further their business objectives. • Aviation Outlook Asia continues to be the primary platform for C-suite leaders of the regional aviation industry to convene. Past luminaries who have attended include Chong Phit Lian, former Chief Executive Officer, Jetstar Asia; Si Xianmin, Chairman, China Southern Airlines and Azran Osman Rani, Chief Executive Office, AirAsia X, to name a few. One of the topics that will be discussed at Aviation Outlook Asia during TravelRave is how airlines will optimise their distributi­on mix especially in the face of LCC competitio­n. Connect with like-minded industry experts to improve service quality and provide value-add for consumers: • One way forward is for carriers to continue to find innovative ways to provide passengers with greater control, save them time, reduce hassles and make the airline experience more enjoyable and comfortabl­e.

• Sharing of these best practices is made possible at TravelRave events via a myriad of networking and breakout sessions Findings and meaningful insight shared by industry leaders and experts. For e.g., an industry leader survey2 was conducted for the Asia Travel Leaders Summit 2011. Respondent­s felt that LCCs have spurred domestic travel in India, which further enhanced the developmen­t of mid-range and budget hotels due to improved connectivi­ty.
