European Management Journal, 2006, vol. 24, issue 5, 322-329

Abstract: This paper sets the scene for a series of papers arising from initial research of the low cost airline sector sector, which is part of the M.I.T. Global Airline Industry Programme. This paper achieves this by initially highlighting the recent rapid growth of the low cost airline sector in Europe, identifying some of the key questions raised by this growth and outlining some of the existing research concerning the low cost sector. Finally, we indicate how we anticipate adding to this body of research by concentrating our work around the inter-related themes of business and human resource strategy.
