  • Low Cost Monitor 1/2014
    Translation DE -> EN Low Cost Monitor 1/2014 - A DLR-Analysis - 466 Routes LCC-Routes The current Low Cost Carrier Market in Germany Spring 2014 Current Low Cost Carrier Market in Germany in 2013/2014 The Low Cost Carrier (LCC) market has been an inherent part of the German air transport market. The Low Cost Monitor published by DLR informs twice a year on key features of low cost carrier traffic and current developments in this market segment. These are in particular the number and relative importance of low cost carriers and their supply, including air fares, and passenger demand for low cost transport services. The description of the low cost supply in the current monitor is based on a reference week in the winter timetable 2014. Passenger data refer to the year 2013. Airlines Airlines involved in the low cost business design their offer quite differently. Due to this inhomogeneity only a few distinctive criteria can be defined for the low cost market segment, such as low fares, their general availability and direct sale via the internet. Thus, in some cases, a certain scope of discretion arises when allocating an airline to the LCC segment. Furthermore, amalgamations of business models are seen in several airlines that further complicate the accurate assignment to the low cost market segment. For this issue of the Monitor the authors classify currently a number of 19 airlines (among all airlines operating on German airports) that offer entirely or predominantly low cost offers. These are in detail (s. also Tab. 1): Aer Lingus (EI)
