Conference Overview

You’re cordially invited to the 10th China Low Cost Carriers Summit 2026, organized by Summit Asia Events. The event will take place from May 21 to 22, 2026 at VOCO Shanghai Hongqiao Hub in dynamic Shanghai.

The low-cost carrier (LCC) industry has been undergoing a profound global transformation, driven by AI-powered industry upgrades, retail integration that transforms airlines more than transportation providers, persistent supply chain disruptions that continue to constrain daily operations and maintenance, and sustainability imperatives that intensify the urgency for costly emissions reductions amid limited scalable alternatives. The year 2026 stands as a critical inflection point in this evolution, where these converging forces will shape the next chapter of LCC competitiveness and innovation worldwide.

The event will bring together over 200 senior executives and decision-makers from more than 25 countries and regions to delve into critical discussions to chart a path forward, including: 

- The LCC model’s development across different countries and regions

- Revenue management and customer experience

- Operational resilience

- Aviation sustainability

This year marks the 10th edition of the China Low Cost Carriers Summit—a milestone we deeply cherish, made possible by the unwavering support of our global partners over the past decade. We remain steadfast in our founding mission “Connect the World of Aviation with China”, by continuously deepening our commitment to the civil aviation sector, fostering meaningful cross-border dialogue, and serving as a vital bridge for innovation, collaboration, and growth.

Together, let's continue shaping a more resilient and dynamic future for low-cost aviation.
