Change is inevitable. Like any other industry, aviation industry is also going under a drastic change. For some the change is good and for others it might not be good. But an industry on a whole is experiencing a change which is easily recognized by the people.

In fact, last two decades have played a major role in shaping up today’s aviation industry. Be it widely popular low cost business model widespread in Europe and Asia or the rapid rise of ‘super-hubs’ in the Middle East, all of them are making a serious impact on the sustainability of an industry.

The researches state that in the UK aviation market, the contribution of network carriers is at top position with 46 %. The low-cost carriers (LCC) take a second position with 41 %; whereas the charter/hybrid carriers take 10 % with regional at 2 % and others at 1 %.

All these stats definitely show a drastic change in an aviation industry, but most of it has been in the past few years especially in Europe with the rise of low cost carriers. These low budget flights initially started off with their business in late 90s and early 2000’s.

These years were high on liberalization and easing out policies and laws in the aviation sector. This basically led to removal of barriers for an entry of new airlines into the business and also to challenge the traditional players in the market.

This is why many airlines started with this new concept of low fare flights but there was much more into it than a simple low fare aspect. The sustainability of the concept is primarily because of an efficiency of this system in yield management, ensuring that maximum or all seats are sold. The LCC model also focused on more numbers of seats so that more passengers can travel at one time (as compared to traditional carriers) which again helps in generating revenue to a great extent. All this makes LCCs more fuel efficient on a per passenger basis.

When considering the factor of fuel burnt per passenger, then also these LCC based flights are showing good numbers as in the low cost carriers are burning fuel of around 2 Kg less per passenger hour that is equivalent of saving of around 13 % of CO2 per passenger.

All the aforementioned points prove that LCCs are emerging as giant and creating a strong foothold in a European aviation landscape. If you also wish to save your money, you can also book a low cost flight anywhere in Europe and for more details you can get in touch with Easy Jet contact number as it is one of the largest LCC based airlines.
