Abstract
In this research paper the author will be discussing the emerging airline business model and how it is affecting the various segments of market, including customers, peers, economy. The study will focus on structure of the low-cost carriers (thereafter referred as LCC), analysis of the cost structures of a LCC compared to a full-service airline. LCCs are leading the market with their cost-efficient approach, lately the competition has been notorious for the airlines, LCCs are a reason for that as they were able to successfully cut down on operational costs and made it possible for several income groups to afford air travel.The aviation industry is a complex and dynamic field that involves the operation and maintenance of aircraft, as well as the infrastructure and regulations that support air travel. The aviation industry is one of the largest and fastest-growing industries in the world. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), over 4.5 billion passengers were transported by air in 2019. The global aviation industry is responsible for over 65 million jobs and contributes over $2.7 trillion to the global economy.The global air cargo industry transports over 50 million metric tons of goods each year, with the majority of shipments being high-value, time-sensitive items such as electronics and pharmaceuticals. The aviation industry is facing increasing pressure to reduce its carbon emissions, and many airlines are investing in new technologies such as biofuels, electric and hybrid-electric aircraft, and more efficient engines to reduce their environmental impact.The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the aviation industry, with many airlines reducing their schedules and laying off staff in response to decreased demand for air travel. However, the industry is expected to recover over the coming years as vaccination programs are rolled out and travel restrictions are lifted.Air safety should be the top priority for the aviation industry, and airlines and regulatory bodies work together to establish and enforce strict safety standards. Despite the occasional high-profile accident, air travel remains one of the safest forms of transportation.The aviation industry is heavily regulated, with various national and international bodies overseeing everything from aircraft design and maintenance to pilot training and air traffic control. The future of the aviation industry is likely to be shaped by new technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), supersonic aircraft, and space travel. These emerging technologies are expected to revolutionize the way we think about air travel and transportation more broadly.
