• Core business:
– This is passenger air-service despite the ancillary offers are increasing and
becoming part of the LCC core business.
• Point-to-point network:
– The network is developed from one or a few airports, called ‘bases’, from which the
carrier starts operating routes to the main destinations.
– Destinations are only continental within the EU or the US. No connections are
provided at the airport bases, which function as aircraft logistics and maintenance
bases.
• Aircraft utilization:
– The aircraft is in the air, on average, more hours a day compared with FSCs that
have to respect the connectivity schedule.
