Christopher Johnson: LOW COST, HIGH IMPACT: The Future of Low-Cost Airlines, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Low-cost airlines have revolutionised aviation - but almost exclusively on short- and medium-haul routes. While Europe, the USA and Asia have long been saturated with low-cost carriers, long-haul flights remain the last major obstacle to the low-cost flight model. Why is this the case - and what does it mean for the future of global travel? Volume 4 of the series on low-cost airlines addresses this crucial question. The book analyses why the 'low-cost' business model is difficult to transfer to intercontinental routes, what economic, technical and regulatory hurdles exist, and what approaches are nevertheless available - from pioneers such as Norwegian to new hybrid concepts from large airline groups. It becomes clear that long-haul flights are not an easy market. However, increasing price pressure, new generations of more efficient aircraft and changing travel behaviour could reshuffle the cards. This book shows what the future holds for the low-cost long-haul segment - and whether the era of affordable intercontinental flying is really just around the corner. Bremen University Press has published over 5, 000 specialist books in various languages since 2005.
