title: Evolving business models of low-cost carriers and their influence on connectivity and accessibility of regions in the United Kingdom
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: Low-cost carriers are increasingly competing with legacy carriers at major airport hubs. Low-cost carriers (LCCs) play a vital role at secondary and regional airports, providing them with point-to-point services and providing less densely populated areas with viable connections. Are low-cost carriers changing their focus to major hubs or are the new services complimentary to the offerings of legacy carriers? LCCs shift focus to the metropolitan areas of the United Kingdom, where periphery regions lose or see stagnation of development of connectivity and accessibility.
