Question

Give an examplen of a trait of a non frill airline. Would this cause you to not do business with them or why not?

Answer 1

No-frills airlines are the ones that give low fares but reduce or remove all non-essential facilities, such as complimentary meals, in-flight entertainment arrangements, and business-class seats. One such airline that revolutionized the airlines' industry and giving other sleepless nights is Southwest Airlines.

Traits of no-frills airlines:

1) 60% lower than average fare

2) No business class

3) High aircraft utilization

4) Productive ground and gate crews

5) 10-15 minutes turnaround

6) Focus on culture “Customer” & “Employee”

7) High code-share agreements with other aircraft

We can see that doing business with the no-frills airline is suitable if the travelers are frequent business travelers who are more concerned about time and connectivity and travelers who prefer economical seating.
