Low‐Cost Airlines: A Failed Business Model?

Kenneth Button

Transportation Journal, 2012, vol. 51, issue 2, 197-219

Abstract: The article examines the sustainability of the low‐cost, or no‐frills, airline business model. It looks at the background to the development of this managerial approach within the context of some prevailing business theories and considers variations on the basic low‐cost airline model. It assesses, drawing from the experiences of a number of markets, whether the model in itself is likely to be enduring, or whether it is simply a transient way for some airlines to recover their full costs.
