Abstract: This study sets out to investigate the revenue characteristics of long-haul low-cost carriers (LHLCCs) in the Southeast Asian market using a recently established metric that calculates revenue per equivalent flight capacity per block hour (REB). REB allows for the accurate comparison of airlines on different routes with varying cabin configurations, and stage lengths. The majority of the data was sourced from Sabre MIDT and OAG, while supplementary data were from other various sources. In addition to REB, the study investigates: How do LHLCCs yields compare to full-service network carriers (FSNCs)? Are LHLCCs positively impacted by smaller share of connecting passengers? Are LHLCCs positively impacted by ancillary revenues? Do LHLCCs benefit from higher load factors and seat densities?
