low fee airways have given a danger for the middle type human beings to fly. in a variety of of circumstances air fares are even decrease than the railway AC fares - so truly visitors will choose the air selection. The lower priced circuitously impacts the service provided to the shoppers by using the airways and for this reason it suppresses the advancements of the aviation market quickly.

Hopefully bringing prices down due to increased competition, or perhaps forcing some of the smaller airlines, who cant compete so easily, out of business.

Answer 5

practically nothing because with those cheap airlines you are sacrificing quality for savings. the majority of people are still willing to pay more for just that little bit extra comfort and service.
Example: on an easyjet flight the average seat width is 50 inches. the average human is 52 inches wide. you see? they sacrifice comfort of passengers so they can cram more people onto the planes.
