Air transport in Asia

The growth in air passenger numbers is increasing because transport affects every aspects of our daily life. I have read the BBC News report on " Hongkong orders kick off with Air China's Boeing deal "

During the next two decades, the Asian passenger air transport is predicted to become the biggest air transport market, has grown by an everage 5.8% per year. In China, Air china is searching to provide a new routes because of the rising demand. Not only by orders from business airlines, but have also more order from private plane due to the increase of a wealthy people in China

Airplane travel is one of the easiest and fastest way to travel. Moreover, it is the safest way to get destinations. I think Nowaday, Thai people tends to use a plane in domestic instead of by bus or by train because Trains in Thailand is too slow and not safety. while, a bus is easy to have an accident. Today Air transportation have many new routes that easy to go to destinations and there are many choices of low cost airlines such as Air Asia, Nok air or Orient Thai airlines.Therefore, The time to reach destinations faster and simplicity

  2. I agree with you that travelling by planes is very fast and safe when compare with other transportation. I'm also one of Thai people who prefer traveling by plane when I'd like to go to Chaingmai or Phuket ,despite in the past my family always go there by driving our car. I think there are many reasons making people change their mind, for example, save cost, save time and be save.

    In my experience, since the Air Asia offered an interesting marketing which is 1 trip 1 Baht, I had a chance to go to Hongkong with my friends last 2 years. I think it was very fun more than traveling with my family because I could spend more time to go shopping. If I go with my parents, I would have less times to go shopping. The reason is that they are quite old and always feel tired and want to take a rest along the way of shopping street.

    However, one thing that I'm worried is the quality and age of airplanes. I think the old planes are the important cause of accident. So airlines should often check their quality. And if an airplane is too old, they should buy a new one immediately instead of waiting for after a plane accident.

  3. I agree, Thai air transportation has become more popular and I think the main reason is attributed to low-cost airlines. It starts taking a share of customers who wishes to fly with cheaper prize, and the main regular airlines are now trying to promote the same policy. It may be some differences between a low-cost airline and a regular airline, like food, seats and other services but till today there is no significant proof for particular idea that flying in a low-cost airline is more dangerous than a regular one. It is also smarter to take a low-cost airline if you travel domestically or to short-distanced country.

  4. In the past, I had to spend almost a day to travel to my hometown by bus and, of course, that is much faster and more convenient than taking a train. Thanks to the low-cost air line, the cost of flight is comparable to that of VIP bus ticket. That makes it reasonable to pay a little bit more for much faster and more convenient way of traveling. Moreover, if you reserve the flight ticket over year in advance, the cost is as if you get it for free. Some people may be concerned that air transportation seems dangerous, so are my parents. But the statistic says that air transportation is the safest way comparing with transportation by a car or a train. It is said that the most dangerous thing of a flight is on the way you travel to the air port. Once my parents have tried taking air plane, they almost forget the other ways of transportation. Since that time, by booking seats in advance, my parents come to Bangkok or go abroad more often. Also, it can make a trip on a weekend possible. I also think that the more people become more interest in this way of transportation, the more competitive the low cost air lines would become. Then, they will have quality and standard as equal as other regular air lines.

  5. Travel by plane is the most convenient way to travel because of time saving but it is also the most expensive way. Due to our competitive world, this create lots of new good thing including low-cost airline. By nature of human, almost of people prefer a thing that cheaper or cheapest. Comparing this to the principle of finance "High risk, high return" , you can see that if you pay cheaper, you will have a lower quality and if you pay more, you will be satisfied more. So, once you choose any option of the airline, you have to accept to it

  6. Air transportation is very convenient and make life easier than before. From my experience, I often fly to meet my counsin in the lowest price by this kind of transportation. But if you want to travel by this, you have to had longer plan because the promotion which offer low price will sale before fly over a year. Therefore you should trade off between cost and convenience.
