| Description | Francis, G., Dennis, N., Ison, S. and Humphreys, I. (2007) The transferability of the low-cost model to long-haul airline operations, Tourism Management, Volume 28, Issue 2, April 2007, Pages 391-398 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.tourman.2006.04.014. Accessed April 28, 2010Since their emergence in the US in the mid-1970s there has been significant growth in the low-cost airline sector but with a few notable exceptions low-cost airlines have operated on short-haul routes. This paper examines the extent to which the low-cost model is, or could be, applicable to long-haul operations and whether the recent emergence of long-haul low-cost carriers is a sustainable phenomenon. The authors explore the extent to which elements of the so-called low-cost model might be transferable to long-haul operations. The paper seeks to quantify the potential cost differentials that might be achievable on a long-haul "no-frill" service. The paper also speculates as to the development and sustainability of the low-cost long-haul operations. |
