After exploring possible opportunities and deciding how I wanted my airline to operate, I had the idea to make my airline a Low-Cost Carrier. Thus, I would operate my airline to offer the minimum with the price of the ticket without sacrificing safety. Everything additional that you want, comes at an additional cost. This is a way for me to lower my operational costs, therefore, being able to offer lower fare prices to my customers. As a student, I know how difficult it can be trying to find airline tickets that I can afford. My target audience was those people, like myself, always looking for the best deal. Although this type of market plan is not for everyone, there will always be costumers who would pay more to have a more luxurious …show more content…
These various places might be what the people in California are looking for, a change of scenery. The second option I think would have worked is by offering two or more routes, splitting them by having some running to tourist locations and some running to popular business travel destinations. For example, I would have done an LA to New York throughout the week and then focus on more tourist locations during the weekend. This would offer something for everyone’s needs. Secondly, throughout half of the batches, I was underpaying my employee’s union wages which resulted in fines. I had also hired a cargo manager. Quickly I realized that I did not need a cargo manager and canceled that contract but that still resulted in a hefty separation fee. Although my airline did not have the tremendous success that I was counting on, I do however stand by some of my decisions. I believe that leasing my aircraft was the best decision. Had I started making profit earlier, I would have begun leasing additional aircrafts and increasing my market. I also feel that having my airline run as a low-cost carrier had the potential to make an enormous profit, I just did not have everything else set up properly. My aircraft was configured to offer the bare minimum without compromising safety or comfort. This decreased my cost of configuring as well as keeping my operational cost as a minimum. I also feel that I made the right choice of aircraft. The 737 is not

"Global airlines have realized that ancillary revenues can make a huge difference to profit and loss, especially during difficult times” (Upadhyay, 2013, p.1). From a business point of view ancillary revenue has become a necessity for all airlines as they all struggle to fill the profit gap created by high operating costs and intense competition, in order to achieve an increase in profitability (Kuuchi, 2013). According to Robson, competitive advantage is attained by targeting to provide a more relevant and advanced product offering for the same price as the competition within the same market (Robson, 1994). However low budget airlines have turned this around and have focused on attaining competitiveness by offering lower prices than competitors, making their pricing their superior value and unique benefit, without increasing the products value itself, but simplifying it to its basic and letting the customer change the product to its personal needs and demands (E. Porter, 1985). Budget ticket offerings have long proven to be one of the most successful strategies and business models in the airline industry for companies such as easyJet, to attain not only a rise in profitability but also to increase market share and competitive edge, as more and more budget-conscious tourists are willing to give up comfort in return for lower fares (Hyonhee, 2012).

The Airline Industry is in an interesting situation. Simply adding a low cost alternative is not enough in the industry. The Internet has made the power of buyers grow with the transparency of ticket prices. This is not something that will change any time soon. Because of this profitability is predominately reserved for low-cost yet distinctive carriers. No consumer wants to ride what they consider a “lesser” airline. Airlines need a way to distinguish themselves from one another while also acknowledging the increased power of buyers.
