Fuelling this growth was the signing of several exclusive contracts with airlines that include AirPhil Express from the Philippines; Sapsan, an LCC from Kazakhstan that serves five domestic routes; Cambodia Angkor Air, a regional airline in Cambodia; and Juneyao Airlines that sees Abacus as the airline’s exclusive distributor outside of China.

These contracts, in addition to those with Mihin Lanka, Virgin Australia, Jetstar, Valuair, AirAsia and MASwings, have cemented the company as the leading partner for the LCC, hybrid and regional airline market.

Ho Hoong Mau, Abacus’ division head, airline distribution, said LCCs and hybrids are currently enjoying a steady rise due to the influx of new airlines, as well as the expansion of current LCC players.

“The LCC and hybrid market is growing rapidly and becoming increasingly influential in the travel industry. With our extensive network reach throughout the region, we are committed to our airline partners to offer value and service in their needs and objectives of growth and expansion in Asia Pacific.”
