                               US       European
     Total Market size         X        1.4 X
     Low cost passengers       0.24 X   0.03 (1.4 X) – 0.05 (1.4 X)
                                        = 0.042 X – 0.07 X
     With growth of 300%                0.168 X – 0.28 X
     Business players left              0.021 X – 0.035 X

Cost structure
Heading for cost reduction                                        Savings
Meal services (per passenger)                                     £14
Alternative airport (per passenger)                               £10
Internet Sales                                                    25% of operating cost
Saving on agent commission                                        £0.80
High Aircraft utilization
1. In terms of aircraft cost                                      6 / 11.5 = .52 aircrafts
(Less number of aircraft needed)
2. Same aircraft fleet                                            Low maintenance cost
Income from missed flight on one route per flight
Cost of travelling on London – Glasgow = £29 (original fare) + £10 ( re-ticketing) = £39
Total revenue = £39 * 0.04 ( percentage of average miss flight) * 149 (capacity of aircraft) = £ 234
Profit margin (per passenger)                                     £1.50 (seems less)
Cost of change in flight                                          £10
No reimbursement for missed flights

Value for customer
• Low fare travel
  – Due to high utilization of aircraft
  – Low maintenance cost
  – Low cost of distribution of tickets
  – No frills
  – On schedule
  – And price skimming/ revenue management for
    optimal price that can be charged
  – High load factor
Diversification plans
• Low fare business
  – Low fare business is risky because
     • Can be eaten up by bigger players if don't put up high
       volumes
     • Some business like of air travel needed high sunk or
       entry barrier to get into the business which takes time to
       recover
     • May be caught up with a niche market that may die
       down soon
