How Budget Airlines Work?

How Budget Airlines Work?

When air travel debuted in the early 20th century, it was both rare and expensive. Air travel was restricted to the very wealthy, and each trip was a special occasion -- even if the plane was deafeningly loud and rattled your teeth for the entire flight. After World War II, powerful engines and improved plane designs made it possible to carry more passengers for longer distances.

Many airlines continued to treat air travel as a luxury, however. Free meals and drinks, expansive and comfortable seats, personal attention from flight attendants and other amenities kept the price of plane tickets relatively high. Airline deregulation and the changing economics of the airline industry in the 1970s and '80s lead to a new type of airline category --> the budget airline.

Budget airlines, as you would guess from the name, offer inexpensive tickets -- sometimes as low as $50 for a one-way ticket. They manage this by cutting their own operating costs. How do they cut costs? There are many ways an airline can trim operating expenses, but budget airlines are most well-known for cutting back on passenger luxuries, or making passengers pay for luxuries à la carte.What's behind the success (and sometimes failure) of budget airlines? Do they cut corners on safety? What is it like to fly on a budget airline? In this article, we're going to take a hard look at airline economics and fin­d out how budget carriers stay in the black.

       Low Cost Airlines have 3 rule: 

1. They Have Only same type of aircraft e.g 737,a320,a321,e170,ATR72,ATR42... 
2. You Need to pay for extra laguage 
3. If you need onboard meal you need to pay! 

         My 3 favourite  budget airlines:

                              R Y A N A I R

Ryainr have more than 360 Boeing 737-800,737 is very popular plane world wide,737 is very easy to repair and it carry more than 160 people (depends airline policy)

 E a s y J e t 

In this case EasyJet have 737 and a320's in it's fleet  but unlike Ryanair they have more comfortable seats and you can request onboard drinks e.g. cola.light alcoholic drink or juice...

                                     W I Z Z  A I R
