Low-Cost Long Haul Carriers to Threaten Position of Established Players, States Euromonitor in Its Topical Study Available at MarketPublishers.com

21 Jun 2017 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – Low-cost long haul is undergoing a revival with the intensive route expansion of players such as AirAsia X and Norwegian Air Shuttle that are going further afield. These players are challenging the status quo for both schedule and low-cost air operators by upgrading their fleet with fuel-saving and high-capacity aircrafts alongside raising the possibility of increasing their involvement in partnerships with a view to boosting traffic volume and margins.

Leading low-cost carriers across Europe have been endeavoring to increase their margins via engaging in partnerships with various players. Ryanair and Norwegian are considering a partnership by way of shared feeder flights. This will eventually provide Norwegian access to destinations like Barcelona and several Irish cities, from where it will be able to expand its transatlantic passenger traffic flows to the USA.

The increased competition from low-cost long haul airlines is likely to threaten the growth and performance of entrenched market participants by coming up with less expensive fares with novel unexplored designations networks whilst tapping into the price sensitive user segments.
