The Low Cost Carrier Worldwide cover

This book offers a global perspective on low-cost carriers, exploring their development, legal frameworks, and current challenges. The Low Cost Carrier Worldwide is essential for aviation studies.

This volume offers a thorough examination of the low-cost carrier phenomenon on a global scale. The Low Cost Carrier Worldwide delves into the developments, legal frameworks, and current situations surrounding low-cost carriers (LCCs) across various regions. With a dozen chapters authored by esteemed experts, it provides insights into how LCCs have evolved and adapted in different parts of the world.

Originating in the United States, the low-cost carrier model has made significant inroads in regions such as Europe, North America, and parts of Asia. However, the academic literature surrounding LCCs in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand remains limited. This book addresses this gap by presenting a comprehensive overview that highlights the unique challenges and opportunities faced by LCCs in these regions.

The Low Cost Carrier Worldwide is designed for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as researchers and practitioners in aviation, transport, and tourism. It serves as an essential resource for understanding the impact of LCCs on the air transport and tourism industries, providing valuable insights for both academic and practical applications.

’Low cost carriers have often introduced new operational parameters to an industry already famous for thin margins, heavy regulation and significant cost structures. Gross and Lück have marvellously pulled together authors from around the world for a global treatment of business models that have stood the test of time, yet continue to innovate and surprise.’ David Duval, University of Winnipeg, Canada ’Overall, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to others as a useful read if you are interested in the story of birth of LCCs and their continued success, and an excellent reference book to refer back to on your bookshelf in the future.’ Journal of Revenue and Pricing Management, vol. 13, no. 2 ’Examples of best practices for each region are good sources for lesson drawing for future planning.’ Tourism Geographies, 2014 ’The book’s major strength is in making available detailed and comprehensive information about LCCs all in one publication, especially with the inclusion of previously less well documented global areas.’ Tourism Management, vol. 43, 2014
