flypop must learn from Norwegian’s struggle
Share //php do action( thb social article detail vertical , false, true); ?>Following the recent news that flypop has secured a lease agreement for its first Airbus A330 aircraft, the airline must learn from Norwegian’s struggle to achieve success when using the long-haul low-cost model. This business model may continue to face challenges, and the airline may struggle to become a profitable venture.
The newest airline to enter the low-cost long-haul market is UK-based flypop. With the appetite for low-cost flights rising, it could be the best time to enter the market. Although the airline has foregone the inclusion of a premium cabin on its aircraft, which contributed to the demise of Norwegian, flypop could face similar issues to the Scandinavian airline.
Southwest Airlines will begin servicing Colorado Springs on Thursday, March 5, 2021.
Southwest Airlines hopes to eventually use every available gate at the Colorado Springs Airport if travelers continue to support its service, the low-fare giant s top Colorado executive says.
The Dallas-based airline launches nonstop service Thursday between Colorado Springs and five of its largest hubs, the latest in a series of Southwest expansions designed to put idle employees and aircraft to work. Colorado Springs and Savannah, Ga., will be the 110th and 111th destinations in the Southwest network (both start service Thursday). The arrival has been nearly 20 years in the making, culminating a lengthy courtship that included a major effort in 2005, just before the carrier returned to Denver after a nearly 20-year absence.
Like a spurned suitor, Colorado Springs officials tried in vain for more than 20 years to woo much-coveted Southwest Airlines and its discount airfares to the city.
But after years of rejection and disappointment, everything changed for Colorado Springs in just a matter of a few weeks. Now, Southwest is poised to launch service in March from the Colorado Springs Airport.
As unlikely as it might seem, air travelers looking forward to Southwestâs discount fares can thank the COVID-19 pandemic, in part, for opening the door to the carrierâs decision to consider Colorado Springs. Then, signs of growth around the Springsâ airport and an array of new city amenities and public improvements helped dazzle Southwest officials, who also were given a promise of $2.5 million in public and private incentives to help seal the deal.
