Nízko-nákladové podnikanie leteckých dopravcov na dlhé vzdialenosti: úspešný a perspektívny model?

Abstract

The paper discusses some costs and revenues aspects of long-haul low-cost business model of air carriers. The paper confims that the average lifespan of long-haul low-cost carriers has increased in time, supporting in this way the research of competitive advantage of such business model. According to the paper´s findings, existing long-haul low-cost carriers are differently hybridized, and therefore we can pronounce that there is more than one long-haul low-cost business model. In this regard, it is questionable whether the concept of long-haul low-cost carrier is proper in current academic terminology and whether the traditional classification of air carriers business models is still inspiring for academic esearch and managerial practise as well.
