A low cost airline (also known as a no frills airline, low cost carrier or discount carrier) is an airline that offers low fares but eliminates all unnecessary services. The typical low cost ailine business model is based on:

  • a single passenger class
  • a single type of airplane (reducing training and servicing costs - often the Boeing 737)
  • a simple fare scheme (typically fares increase as the plane fills up, which rewards early reservations, known as "yield management")
    • unreserved seating (which encourages passengers to board early)
  • direct, point to point flights with no transfers
  • flying to cheaper, less congested secondary airports
  • short flights and fast turnaround times (allowing maximum utilization of planes)
  • "Free" in-flight catering and other "complimentary" services are eliminated, and replaced by optional paid-for in-flight food and drink.
