Low-cost carriers, discount airlines or low-cost airlines are airlines that offer lower fares in exchange for fewer passenger comforts. 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.

Opportunities in Low-Cost Air Travel

The impact of low-cost carriers on the aviation industry has been tremendous.  The deep market penetration of low-cost airlines 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’ profit margins, only budget airlines have consistently reported profits or expanded their routes.  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.  Low-cost carriers in the Middle East have grown very fast relative to traditional carriers.

The success of budget airlines can be traced back to their business model which expounds that cost is not equal to price.

การแข่งขันกับสายการบิน Legacy Air Carrier

The growth of budget airlines has brought into question the future of legacy carriers.  Big carriers are increasingly pressured by high fixed costs and relevant market positioning to consumers.  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.  Today’s new competitive landscape puts large, well-established airlines in fierce competition with low-cost airlines.
