Presentation Notes

In term of major source markets by regions, international arrivals within ASEAN is dominated by Intra ASEAN arrivals. In 2013, Intra-ASEAN visitor arrivals accounted to 46 per cent from total international arrivals. Followed by Asia 32 per cent. With the importance of those markets, ASEAN is currently embarking towards establishment of ASEAN Single Aviation Market covering economic as well as technical aspect of aviation. One of economic components of ASEAN Single Aviation Market, since 2009, ASEAN has established its Open Skies Policy which provide unlimited international traffic rights among ASEAN Member States. This Open Skies agreements have taken over most of bilateral agreements between ASEAN Member States, and created significant air capacity impact within the region.
