Lo-Cost Gone Mad!!
I think this thread might have been started elsewhere but, how many operators can this sector sustain, especially in the UK and indeed, Europe?
easyjet, Ryanair, Buzz, MYT, BMI Baby, Channex and now EAL....where will it all end and this is in the UK alone?
Let us take as an example, the US. Since the originators were born - Southwest - how many are left. In the true spirit of Lo-cost, only AirTran and Jet Blue along with the leader, remain.
Surely this cannot go on for long in Europe. This must be a last ditch attempt for survival for certain carriers.
I know I am going to be p*****g on many peoples chips but, out of the seven I named previously, I predict only easy and Ryanair to survive.
Interestingly enough, four of the Lo-cost boys named above have entered the market post 9/11.
Sorry this smacks of desperation, but please someone get a handle on things.......Many many years of research has led me to believe that being first in the market is essential.
