Why isn't there any low-cost airlines for overseas travels?

Question

I mean, if a major airline company or a start-up follow the same procedures as Easyjet and Ryanair, they can certainly cut down prices and increse they revenues. Right?

Answer 1

What! It is cheaper to fly international than within the states.
Here is the problem (your problem) You are looking at the usa comapnies!
I just got back from Mendoza, Argentina
Delta and American wanted about $1200.00 round trip! I flew Argen Air Ways which is a private owned Argentine Airline and it cost me $318,00 round trip! YOU have to really do homework if travel over seas.

OH YA last year I flew from Cleveland, Ohio to Yokahoma, Japan and it cost me 412.00 round trip everyone else wanted 1500.00 and went to Venezuela, Caracas for $215.00 round trip

Answer 2

It is definitely better, if they had low-cost airlines, not only for domestic flights but international ones as well. That would save lots. However, I guess it's not easy for an airline to gain access to another airport without all the hassle that are extremely troublesome. Both parties need to consider the pros and cons, so i guess it might be under-way.
There are a few low-cost airlines in the South-East Asia region though. One, for example, is the AirAsia. They fly to most places in the South-East Asia region, including Thailand's Phuket, Chiang Mai, Bangkok, etc. and Indonesia's Jakarta, Sumatera, etc. Aside from that, they also travel north to Macau, which is an island really close to Hong Kong. This Malaysian company does not fly to major cities like Tokyo or Hong Kong. It could be due to the airport not wanting to accept a low-cost airline, but that's only my oppinon.. AirAsia's doing really well already.
I really hope that there would be more low-cost airlines flying overseas. That would make life a whole lot easier for backpackers and big families alike.

Answer 3

ok....we could sparkling some issues up right here till now I answer your question. A jumbo jet is a 747 (you will have purely accomplished a tyupo...yet purely in case) Singapore airlines do no longer fly regionally interior Australia. the myth which you have been given is fullyyt incorrect. Jetstar, Air Asia and Tiger airlines' plane are under 5 years previous as they have been delivered on the time of the service beginning. jointly as Jetstar has some A330's on loan from Qantas, maximum plane are no extra effective than 5 years ols this is amazingly youthful for an plane. in the experience that your strapped for money, via all ability pick a funds service. there is not any could desire to flow on Singapore airlines or Qantas in the experience that your purely dropping money. service on the two airlines is so plenty extra useful yet you cant spend money which you dont have! Like I mentioned, the planes are nice....you miught purely ought to pay on your meal and pay for some in flight entertainment yet otherwise savour your holiday!

Answer 4

There is one: Oasis Hong Kong (http://www.oasishongkong.com/), flying from Hong Kong to London Gatwick.

They do not have any other destination yet (they only started flying a month ago). Next destinations to follow are: Chicago, Oakland, Berlin, Cologne and Milan.

They offer tickets up to 4 times cheaper than other airlines on the same route (one way from hk to london starts at HKD $1000 / 75 pounds).

Answer 5

Well, probably you are too young to know about Laker Airways:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laker_Airways

The airline wrote a new chapter in global aviation history when it became the world's first long-haul low-cost, "no frills" airline following the inauguration of the first-ever low-fare scheduled "Skytrain" service between its base at London Gatwick Airport and New York's John F. Kennedy Airport on September 1, 1977.

And this days, Oasis Hong Kong:
