Hi Sam, I have some reservations regarding your strategy in marketing our partners service offerings to the Japanese market.

Looking over your proposal, I feel that you are differentiating the new airline services we are going to roll out in terms of pricing only. I am not sure this is the way to go in gaining passengers and establishing our market presence.

I feel the pricing structure in Japan is lagging behind other global carriers. The "low cost" market is a lucrative market that has not been tapped yet. This is a niche market I feel has the greatest potential. .

I see where you are going with this but I feel Japanese consumers are the most finicky of all. They will not compromise in their expectation of service, quality, and support.

I can truly understand your concerns Hiroko but take into account the current state of the economy and the changes in peoples values. There is a shift in consumers who are more price conscious and looking for cheaper alternatives.

Assuming we take your approach, how are we going to be profitable if we offer airfare at almost half our competitors?

That is a great question and the answer is simple! I like to think of it as "Efficiency in Simplicity equals Profitability".

For starters, we are only going to use one model of aircraft greatly reducing maintenance and training costs . Secondly, passengers can book online only thereby cutting the need for labor expenses. Thirdly, we charge for other travel related services such as baggage fees, meals, etc.. on an a la carte system.

I think I catch what you are trying to achieve. However, how do we tackle the problem of still offering service, quality, and support?

I firmly believe with regards to air travel, consumers will look for two things: safety and pricing. As long as we can commit to these two important factors, I firmly think we can make a dent in this market if our pricing is affordable.
