The concept started in the 1970s by the American domestic carrier Southwest as a way to offer cheap airfares to consumers, since then more low-cost airlines started to proliferate gobbling market share to the point that even major carriers had to establish their own subsidiaries that offered lower fares to regain lost customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opportunities in Low-Cost Air Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The impact of low-cost carriers on the aviation industry has been tremendous.\u00a0 The deep <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/biobrandstoffen-in-de-luchtvaartindustrie\/\" title=\"Marktonderzoek naar duurzaamheid van luchtvaartmaatschappijen\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"2429\">market penetration of low-cost airlines<\/a> caused conventional carriers to cut flights, close hubs and even abandon service to some cities. In the last few years with high fuel costs and the slowing global economy eating into the bigger carriers\u2019 profit margins, only budget airlines have consistently reported profits or expanded their routes.\u00a0 In Asia and the Middle East the low fare sector has dramatically grown in the last decade and there are no signs that the expansion would be curtailed.\u00a0 Low-cost carriers in the Middle East have grown very fast relative to traditional carriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inzichten in klantwaarde<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The success of budget airlines can be traced back to their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/groen-zijn-verbetert-recessieprestaties\/\" title=\"Hoe u kosten kunt besparen in uw bedrijf\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"4400\">business model which expounds that cost<\/a> is not equal to price. The original Southwest model consisted of low fares, higher frequency routes, use of secondary airports with short turnaround times and utilizing the same type of aircraft for the fleet. Modern budget <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/expertise\/industrieen\/airline-market-research\/\" title=\"Marktonderzoek luchtvaartmaatschappijen\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"10810\">airlines still closely follow the same precepts as those laid out by Southwest but because of there are more low-cost airlines competing in the market<\/a> there have been differences in every budget carrier in their implementation. Low-cost airlines in America offer frequent flyer programs and some have even offered the same frills found in bigger carriers like complementary drinks and different class systems.\u00a0 In Europe, budget airlines like easyJet and Ryanair usually follow the more traditional business model\u00a0 except that both airlines have operated into major hubs such as Paris Charles de Gaulle, Dublin and Manchester where the traditional strategy of operating in secondary airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Waardepropositie van goedkope reizen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Klanten geven steeds vaker de voorkeur aan de no-frills-aanpak van vliegen, alleen om geld te besparen. Hoewel de grootste aantrekkingskracht van goedkope luchtvaartmaatschappijen nog steeds de lagere tarieven zijn die ze aanbieden, is dit niet de enige factor die bijdraagt aan hun succes. Voor frequent flyers is de grootste factor die low-cost carriers aantrekkelijker maakt de beschikbaarheid van vluchten met budgetmaatschappijen. Nu conventionele luchtvaartmaatschappijen hun activiteiten terugschroeven, is er minder keuze in schema&#039;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Concurrentie met traditionele luchtvaartmaatschappijen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The growth of budget airlines has brought into question the future of legacy carriers. \u00a0Big carriers are increasingly pressured by high fixed costs and relevant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/publicaties\/buyer-behavior-after-coronavirus-new-consumer\/\" title=\"Koopgedrag na het coronavirus \u2013 Consumentenmarktonderzoek\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"10812\">market positioning to consumers<\/a>.\u00a0 Legacy carriers are increasingly focusing on cost efficiencies, focus on particular traveler segments, consolidating through mergers and acquisitions, and investing in staff training and communications. \u00a0Today&#8217;s new competitive landscape puts large, well-established airlines in fierce competition with low-cost airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Over marktonderzoek naar goedkope vliegreizen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SIS is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/\" title=\"Thuis\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"10801\">Global Market Research and Strategy<\/a> Consulting company.\u00a0 We provide Qualitative, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/how-to-design-effective-surveys-for-quantitative-research\/\" title=\"How to Design Effective Surveys for Quantitative Research\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"10813\">Quantitative and Strategy Research<\/a>.\u00a0 Qualitative Research includes exploratory and observational research.\u00a0 It includes methods such as Focus Groups, Customer Interviews, Online Communities, and Ethnography.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/sis-application-of-quantitative-data-analytics-to-sensory-testing\/\" title=\"SIS Application of Quantitative Data Analytics to Sensory Testing\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"10815\">Quantitative Research provides measurement and data<\/a>.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/quantitative-market-research-methods-and-techniques\/\" title=\"Quantitative Market Research Methods and Techniques\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"10806\">Quantitative research methods<\/a> include online, telephone, and mobile surveys.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/expertise\/industrieen\/industrieel-marktonderzoek\/\" title=\"Industrieel marktonderzoek en strategie\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"10808\">Strategy Research examines competitive and industry<\/a> dynamics that impact your decision-making.\u00a0 Strategy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/marktonderzoek-naar-slimme-productie\/\" title=\"Marktonderzoek naar slimme productie\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"10804\">solutions include Market<\/a> Opportunity insights, Market Sizing and Competitive Analysis.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ontdek nieuwe inzichten met Low Cost Airlines Market Research.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":64978,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[291],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-global","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-50"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12067"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12067\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":81772,"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12067\/revisions\/81772"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/nl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
