• Minimized sales/reservation costs:
– All tickets are electronic and the distribution system is implemented via the
Internet or telephone sales centre (only direct channels).
– Passengers receive an e-mail containing their travel details and confirmation
number, when they purchase.
– The LCC does not intermediate the sale with travel agents and nor does it
outsource the distribution to GDS companies.
• Single aircraft fleet:
– In general, the LCC operates with one type of aircraft such as the Boeing 737
series with a configuration of 149 seats.
– The fleet composition also depends on the fact that they operate on only
short- or medium-haul routes.
