4.0 Industrial Analysis

4.1 Threat of new entrants

The airline industry require a huge capital investment, with at least millions of capital required before any business process, it is estimate that the company require approximately $1 of capital to generate $1 of revenue. It would require a lot of logistic works, highly skilled personal such as pilots, aircraft technicians and specialise managerial personnel which are often limited in resources in the industry. Limited access to airport and route are also another difficulty post to new entrant [Calingo. 1997]

As the Asia Pacific region move toward free trade and deregulation of airspace, more opportunity are created. Since introduce by America Southwest Airlines in 1973, Low Cost Carrier (LCC) have gain popularity and proven to be profitable [Uherek, 2006]. Many new companies had been form to provide this service around the Asian region around 1990s, currently Asia region have over 60 of such LCC mainly offering short distance flight within same country. Some of these airlines have started to offer long haul budget airline, for example Air Asia had introduce Air Asia X in 2007 that offer flight from Malaysia to London, Australia and India [Kent, 5th Jan 2007]. Although these Low Cost Carrier (LCC) were not yet considered as a direct competition to SIA as the target market for these airlines is more for cost conscious traveller, it is possible that in not so distance future, these LLC will venture into the premium market sector when the company reach certain level of business expertise. This trend is highly possible and should not be overlooked by SIA in the long run. It would be safe to assume that the treat of new entrants are remains low at the moment.
