The Future of Ultra-Low Cost Carriers in the U.S.
Skift Take
Report Overview
Skift Research’s latest report on Ultra Low-Cost Carriers (ULCCs) in the U.S. presents a deep dive into their challenges in the post-pandemic world. We cover all the factors that have impacted the performance and profitability of ULCCs in the U.S., ranging from capacity issues to changes in demand trends. We also cover the issues at the heart of ULCC strategy - diminishing cost advantages and the impact of shrinking network exclusivity as network carriers have scaled their capacities on domestic leisure destinations. Many airline executives believe that the ULCC business model is broken and, thus, will not survive for long.
Our report analyses all the factors to see if this claim holds. Will ULCCs eventually cease to exist, or are some ULCCs impacted more than others?
