    European LCCs going hybrid: An empirical survey Roland Conrady, Frank Fichert and Richard Klophaus Worms University of Applied Sciences, Germany Competence Center Aviation Management (CCAM) Airneth Annual Conference The Hague, April 14, 2011 Agenda • Motivation/Background • Textbook definition of pure/archetypical LCC • Data for empirical survey • Empirical results: Classification of airline’s business models • Conclusions/discussion Roland Conrady, Frank Fichert, Richard Klophaus – European LCCs going hybrid – The Hague, April 14, 2011 2 Motivation / Background • Significant (and still growing) market share of LCCs in Europe. • Obviously different strategies within the LCC segment. • Market observers see trends towards “hybridization” and/or “converging business models”,e.g.: “On many fronts - pricing, product offering, distribution, fleet, network design and even cost structure - the previously obvious and often blatant differences between budget and legacy carriers are now no longer so apparent. This has resulted from the movement of both parties in the same direction, toward the mainstream middle.” Airline Business, May 2009 (emphasis added). Roland Conrady, Frank Fichert, Richard Klophaus – European LCCs going hybrid - The Hague, April 14, 2011 3 Motivation / Background • Dynamic market environment with recent changes, e.g. some LCCs offering transfer flights or can be booked via GDS. • Yet, very limited empirical analysis of “hybridization”. Roland Conrady, Frank Fichert, Richard Klophaus – European LCCs going hybrid - The Hague, April 14, 2011 4 Aim of the paper It is examined • to what extent carriers today blend low-cost characteristics with the business characteristics of traditional full-service airlines, and • which characteristics remain distinct between LCCs and traditional full-service airlines and which tend to be common for all carriers.
