Due to the vast distances across the country as well as between urban centres, Australia is heavily reliant upon its air transport industry. Following deregulation of Australia’s domestic air travel market on the 30th October 1990, low cost carriers have entered the market. Australia’s LCC market has had three discrete phases. The first wave occurred between 1990 and 1993 and was subsequently followed by a duopoly period from 1994-1999. The second wave occurred between 2000 and 2006 and the final wave has been in the post-2006 period. This paper examines the evolution of Australia’s domestic low cost carrier airline market and finds that by 2010, low cost carriers had captured around 64 per cent of the market. Following the evolution of the Virgin Australia business model from a low cost carrier to a full service network carrier, commencing in 2011, the low cost carrier’s market share has declined significantly and is now around 31 per cent. Jetstar and Tiger Airways are the two major carriers presently operating in this market segment. Keywords: Australia, airlines, business model, aviation policy, low-cost carriers 1.

In 1990 the Australian government but eliminates all unnecessary services (Doganis 2006). commenced the deregulation of the country’s domestic The LCC business model is very simple: operate at the airline market process, permitting private competition, lowest possible cost and sell seats at low rates such that and privatising its interests in existing airlines (Nolan they stimulate demand and achieve high load factors 1996). The government terminated the “Two Airline (Fernie 2011).

An airline’s fleet size and carriers in Australia’s domestic airline market (Forsyth fleet structure have a substantial impact on its operating 2003; Nolan 1996). costs (Klophaus et al. 2012). LCCs costs are therefore Since the industry was deregulated, a number of minimized by operating a single-type aircraft fleet (Koch low cost carriers (hereafter LCCs) have entered the 2010). The use of a young and homogenous fleet of medium-sized aircraft (usually Boeing 737-700/800 or Australian domestic air travel market – Impulse Airlines, 1 Compass Airlines, both of whom subsequently collapsed, Airbus 320 aircraft) normally results in a reduction of Jetstar Airways, Tiger Airways and Virgin Australia, fuel, maintenance, staff costs and – if large orders at though since 2011 the latter has moved to a full service discounted prices are placed – capital costs (Ehmer et al. network carrier (FSNC) business model.

  • 7 Regional Airports and Opportunities for Low-Cost Carriers in Australia
    7 Regional airports and opportunities for low-cost carriers in Australia A. Collins, D. A. Hensher & Z. Li The University of Sydney, Australia Abstract Australia is vitally dependent on aviation services for delivering passenger accessibility to many rural and remote locations. The majority of airports in Australia are regional airports. There are real opportunities for a number of regional airports to improve their services for the region through the introduction of low-cost carriers (LCCs). The aim of this paper is to investigate this potential, through a formal model system of the entire aviation network in Australia, focusing on identifying influences on passenger demand and flights offered, and the role of air fares and number of competitors on each route. Keywords: regional airports; low-cost carriers; regular passenger transport; structural equation system; three stage least squares (3SLS) 1 Introduction Australia is vitally dependent on aviation services for delivering passenger accessibility to many rural and remote locations. In 2005–06, over 40.93 billion passenger kilometres or 11.47% of the total domestic passenger transport task (including metropolitan travel) was serviced by aviation [1]. Conservatively this represents over 46% of all intra- and inter-state aircraft movements and 13% of revenue passenger activity. As the Australian population progressively, albeit slowly, migrates away from the capital cities along the coast and inland, a number of towns that were once small centres servicing a hinterland have grown to become sizeable hubs for substantial regional activity. The role of aviation has grown in response to the need for improved accessibility to these regional hubs.

NUMBER: Working Paper ITLS-WP-16-21 Duopoly Competition between Airline Groups with Dual- TITLE: brand Services - The case of the Australian domestic market The Australian aviation industry achieved substantial growth ABSTRACT: after the abolition of the “two-airline-policy” in 1990. With Virgin’s purchase of Tiger Airways, a new duopoly between two airlines groups, each consisting of a full service airline (FSA) and a low cost carrier (LCC), emerged in the domestic market. In this study, we analyze the pricing dynamics among the four airlines of the duopoly groups, using panel data of online fares on the four most travelled routes in the domestic market. Our empirical results suggest that market segmentation allows the FSAs to charge significantly higher prices than the LCCs. Still, there is clear evidence of competition within and across the market segments, and the airlines’ pricing responses are asymmetric. Virgin’s price responses to Qantas and Jetstar are moderate. In comparison, more than one third of Qantas’s fare changes and less than half of Jetstar’s fare charges are in response to Virgin’s fare adjustments in the previous period.
