    The colour orange is increasingly becoming synonymous with the firm easyJet as it has become one of the world’s most profitable low-cost airlines (Alamdari and Fagan, 2005). This paper examines the basis of their success and argues firstly, that easyJet from its inception essentially adopted and stayed with the original low-cost model that was pioneered by Southwest airlines in the USA. Moreover, this is a model that has served them well, resulting in sustained business performance and growth over a decade. However, our second point is that with this growth, and increased competition, there are signs of the need for a change. Accordingly, in what follows, we examine in turn: the historical origins of easyJet, emphasizing its values and the influence of the Southwest airlines model; the essential features of its business model; and some indication of its business performance over time.…

    As mentioned before, Europe has around three thousand short-haul airlines meaning that the competition of easyJet can be very wide. Although, the main threat in terms of competition for easyJet is the low-cost Irish company named Ryanair. This company bases its competitive strategy in “cost leadership” approach (supply same service at lower cost) and is double the size of easyJet in terms of profit. It covers the main destinations of Europe offering around 27 different countries and main cities in every country. From 2011 to 2012 Ryanair had an increase in profit after tax of 25% leading to a new record of €503 million. On the other hand, easyJet in 2012 got €255 million of profit after tax (half of Ryanair`s profit).…

    RyanAir stands out as it is the only low-cost carrier among the airlines examined. The strengths of this LCC compared to the “legacy carriers” such as Delta, United, and American is that the company serves only relatively short-haul routes throughout Europe which cost cheaper to operate and generally are not a huge loss in case of non-full flights. This allows for flight cost structure to be controlled easily and RyanAir has perfected the formula for offering cheaper flights to value-conscious consumers while realizing high margins for their flights. The disadvantages of RyanAir involve its network that is controlled in growth which only allows it to compete in the European market as opposed to the international market. The advantage of the legacy carriers compared to LCCs such as RyanAir involves the global network serviced by these airlines. American, United, and Delta are very strong not only domestically in the United States but internationally with service among 6 continents. The disadvantage of operating as many routes as a legacy carrier would is that profit margins would be lower as long-distance flights are less cost-effective than short-distance routes. On an investment standpoint, RyanAir should be a strong competitor in the market due to its business structure that allows it to maximize profits while maintaining a busy network…

    Ryanair has a strong industry position as Europe’s largest low-fares airline. This year it can expect to carry close to 67 million passengers on over 830 low fare routes across 26 European countries (www.ryanair.com).

    Low Cost Carrier Impact

    • 1532 Words
    • 7 Pages

    1.1 In the current difficult climate for European aviation, one sector is performing extremely well, the so-called low cost/no-frills carriers. While the flag-carriers are experiencing severe difficulties, withdrawing from routes and cutting staff, the low cost sector continues to expand at a tremendous pace. There is evidence that the low cost carriers are even becoming dominant players on a significant number of intra-European shorthaul point-to-point routes. The extent to which this expansion of the low cost carriers will affect the traditional airline hub-and-spoke networks poses interesting questions for the European industry and policy makers. 1.2 Europe’s experience of low cost scheduled operators began in 1991 when Irish carrier Ryanair transformed itself from a conventional regional airline into a carbon copy of the US low cost pioneer Southwest Airlines. By focusing initially on serving the large leisure market between Ireland and the UK, the airline had a dramatic effect on services across the Irish Sea. The second phase of Ryanair’s rapid growth has involved the carrier in building up a network of intra-EU routes linking London’s third airport, Stansted, with over 50 under-utilized, secondary airports in a number of countries, making the second largest low-cost carrier in Europe. 1.3 After the acquisition of it’s rival and British Airways offshoot Go, EasyJet, established in 1995, is…
