係咪平野就一定係好野??
係既話, 國泰點解仲係到呢?
well, it's very simple:
CX has tons of routes & flight, plus a big corporation support (Swire Group) that allows for a huge economies of scale and scope advantage:
-i.e. because of bigger output and operations, they are able to spread their fix cost across every unit of output and every line of operations
-plus, they are a dominant player in this little oligopoly market, and they can make consumers perceive a higher quality and therefore, offer higher prices. Especially for business and first class.
-to put it simply, their perceived quality & economies of scale/scope allows them to earn a consistent profit
In terms of Oasis, I truly believe it's a lost to consumers if they run out of business.
It will definitely reduce the level of competition in the Van-HK route, and the remaining airlines, especially CX, will gain back their lost market share and not have to withstand the price competition that was put up by Oasis. If anything, a market that's less competitive is only beneficial for the supplier, almost never for the consumer.
On the same note, I think it's highly possible that Oasis will run out of business...not that I want it to, but then it does provide quality services (as I heard) for a much lower price; it was a great shock to its competitors. However, for the last year, I've only seen oil prices go up every second, and Oasis ticket price has almost not gone up to match the increasing variable cost.
Sad news. But still hoping that it's not true |
