A low-cost carrier or low-cost airline (also known as a no-frills, discount or budget carrier or airline) is an airline that offers generally low fares in exchange for eliminating many traditional passenger services.

  • Peculiarities of Development of the Low-Cost Airlines in Russian and Norwegian Context
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Brage Nord Open Research Archive Logistics and transport BE303E 003 Peculiarities of development of the low-cost airlines in Russian and Norwegian context by Elena Toramanyan Spring, 2007 Abstract E. Toramanyan, Master thesis ABSTRACT Low-cost flights per se become more and more popular in the world airline industry, while in Russia the first low-cost carrier has recently appeared. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the phenomenon of low-cost carriers, peculiarities of the development of the low-cost airlines in the context of Russian Federation and Norway. In order to cover the topic, deep literature review and qualitative research were carried out. In the paper, I attempted to follow history, analyze reasons for low-cost flights, advantages and disadvantages of low-cost carriers, scrutinize perspectives and peculiarities of the low-cost airline market in Russia and Norway, and analyze future opportunities. Under these circumstances, case study method and interviews as primary information sources and reports and articles written by airline experts as secondary sources were used. Two companies were under the research: Sky Express – a Russian low-cost airline company launched the market this year, and a Norwegian low-cost airline company, a member of European Low Fares Airline Association, Norwegian Air Shuttle. Deep literature review concerning low-cost airlines and empirical findings showed that the phenomenon of low fares has its peculiarities on a particular market. In order to understand the role of context regarding the research question, I tried to find similarities and to reveal differences in the activities of two companies with the help of PESTE analysis.

  • Hva Er Rovatferd?
    Hovedoppgave for mastergradsstudiet i samfunnsøkonomi Hva er rovatferd? Eksempler fra norsk luftfart Harald Evensen Mai 2006 Økonomisk institutt Universitetet i Oslo i Forord Det er de store endringene i flymarkedet, og den spesielle konkurransesituasjonen, som gjorde at jeg ønsket å skrive om dette temaet. De fleste av oss har merket at det er billigere å fly til Bergen i dag, enn hva tilfellet var for kun noen få år siden. Jeg håper denne oppgaven kan være med på å belyse hva som har skjedd i det norske flymarkedet, og hvilke former konkurransen har tatt de siste åtte årene, etter åpningen av Oslo Lufthavn Gardermoen. Min veileder, Professor Tore Nilssen ved Økonomisk institutt ved Universitetet i Oslo, har vært til stor hjelp både når det gjelder å konsentrere oppgaven rundt ett tema – rovatferd – og å komme med konkrete tilbakemeldinger som har gjort innhold og språk bedre. Jeg vil også benytte anledningen til å takke min kjæreste, Kari, som har lest korrektur og passet på at jeg ikke har sittet og furtet for lenge de gangen det har gått trått med oppgaven.

  • Valuation of Norwegian Air Shuttle Asa As of 31.12.2010
    Valuation of Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA as of 31.12.2010 Copenhagen Business School, January 2012 Program: Accounting Strategy and Control Number of pages: 80 Supervisor: Number of characters: 191 423 Jeppe Schoenfeld, external Executive summary The aim of the thesis was to estimate the share price of Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA as of 31.12.10 from an investor’s point of view. Strategic and financial analyses were conducted in order to forecast future financial statements and required rate of return to apply in a discounted cash flow model. The Nordic market for air travel was analyzed under the concept of a perfect market. This analysis concluded that the market, and especially the leisure segment, was highly competitive because of limited differentiation opportunities, low switching costs and brand loyalty, and few entrance barriers on new routes for existing airlines. Airlines’ cost structure were characterized by a high degree of fixed and batch costs, which implied significant economic of scale benefits. This has contributed to high capacity in the market after the low cost carriers (LCCs) entrance and been a driver of the heavy unit price decrease seen the last ten years. The strategic analysis also evaluated Norwegian’s future revenue growth potential in the Nordic market, partly based on historical development. Norwegian is positioned as the dominant actor in the Nordic leisure segment and challenges SAS in the business segment. The major finding of the financial analyses was that Norwegian has generated an unstable EBITDAR-margin, which has been the major underlying factor to the volatile return on invested capital.

  • Department of Business Administration MEA 130 Marika
    Department of Business Administration MEA 130 Marika Khvedeliani EU Airline Industry: Low Cost Carriers vs. Incumbents Spring 2002 Tutors: Mr. Allan Malm Mrs. Anneli Carlsson Abstract For many years the air transport market in Europe has been very stable due to government regulation, however, with the deregulation started since 1993 number of important areas of Community legislation were altered; carriers were given more freedom and they found themselves in the situation where they had to make decision for their well being themselves. In addition the deregulated environment paved the way for the emergence of low cost carriers, which actively engage in competition with incumbent airlines. The objective of this thesis is to study: • What are the forces shaping strategies of both incumbent and low cost airlines? • What are the strategic options of incumbent airlines in competition with low cost carriers? • What might be the possible consequence(s), is there a threat for incumbents in competition with low cost airlines in short- term or in future? For answering these questions initially Michael Porter’s theories on industry structure and competitive strategies were described, in addition for understanding future possible developments George Day’s scenario for industry shakeout’s was developed. Special concepts for understanding airline industry were also examined. Following an exposition of the air transport legislation within the Community was made, where the most important areas were discussed. With this background I proceeded to the analysis of the five forces shaping strategies of the airlines. It was found that the regulated environment served as the most important force for shaping strategies of the incumbent airlines, while cost factors served as driving forces for shaping strategies of new entrant low fare airlines in the deregulated environment.
