The line between low cost and full service in China has blurred to the point where the LCC label barely holds. Host Clarissa Jenkins talks with Fowler Wang, Regional Representative for China at The International Air Cargo Association and Founder of Summit Asia Events, on the 10th anniversary of the China LCC Summit.

The conversation covers the shift from price wars to Smart Cost and yield per passenger kilometre, the CAAC's 3+7+N hub policy, why top Chinese LCCs already run 90%+ direct sales, how WeChat and Alipay handle offline in-cabin payments, the Macau 30-minute turnaround benchmark, the rise of bag-to-hotel ancillary services, and where AI and robotics are starting to land in airline operations. Useful listening for airline commercial, distribution, retailing and operations teams.
