Since then the industry has grown rapidly and namely Airlines like Tiger Airways, Jetstar Asia Airways and AirAsia has been able to prosper due to their competitive prices. However, all might not be as rosy in the aviation industry. Escalating fuel costs, debt troubles in Europe and natural disasters threaten the industry’s profitability. With oil prices sky rocketing to over $100 a barrel, and expecting to remain high over the next five years, elevated oil prices will keep the airfare prices high. According to Jeff Knittel, the 2012 outlook for the global aviation sector is dependent on the overall global economical growth. Despite these headwinds, there is still hope at the end of the tunnel. Rising disposable income, tourism promotions and low-cost airlines will assist the industry’s revenue growth for the next five years. Task/Target Market Scoot, having recently entered the industry via the support of its parent company, Singapore Airline, is vying for a place within the industry front runners.

    LCCs (Low Cost Carriers) first emerged in 1950, by the Pacific South Airlines started offering nothing but low prices on air travel. Followed by the great success of Southwest Airlines from 1967 onwards, as well as facilitated by the liberalisation in air transport market, it has been in centre stage of the global civil aviation industry ever since. In spite of facing many challenges such as high oil prices, softening demand, surplus capacity, new participants as well as subsidiaries from FCCs (Full Cost Carriers) have been joining the main stream to survive, compete and dominate in airline business, mainly on short-haul routes. Given it’s nearly 60% cost advantage (Doganis 2001), some of them did succeed, for example, Ryanair from Ireland, easyJet from UK, these two airlines account for more than 80% of market share in scheduled low cost market in Europe, according to European Tourism Management (2003). However, many LCCs were forced to withdraw services on unprofitable routes, for instance, AirAsia X ceased flying NZ flights, and will stop flying to Europe and India. Some LCCs even filed for bankruptcy, this can be illustrated by Danish LCC Cimber Sterling, which declared bankruptcy due to fierce competition between LCCs and rising costs. This essay is written to discuss the impacts that LCCs have had on the global aviation industry in the 21st century. It breaks down in three areas, namely, economic impacts, environmental impacts and social impacts. The economic impacts focus on tourism and secondary airports.

    It is very important for any airliner to fill all the seats in order to generate revenue. But most of the times, it is found that some airliners operate with few empty seats. There are many situations where a lot of passengers end up getting an empty seat next to them. Those passengers are lucky enough to have a luxury of using the unoccupied seat but airliners are facing a huge revenue loss due to vacant seats in their operations. I was lucky to get an empty seat next to me twice, when I was travelling with Cathay Pacific. There are also some people who always wish to have an empty seat next to them like me. So this is an opportunity for airliners to reduce…
