I'm really wondering where the whole market will go to. It is very interesting. If I ever have to work with an Airline, I'll ping you and include you. Hi Thomas, great comment.

The aviation industry is an industry that I am very passionate of. The concepts that Mr. Uslu, exposed to you are already there. Think about the number one Low cost airline in EU, Ryanair. Ryanair, offers flights for free and they are still the most profitable Airliner in EU and one of the most profitable airlines worldwide. How do they do that? Of course not from the tickets sales. Ryainair actually is considered an airplane leasing company that offers flights from point A to point B. In addition, Ryanair makes profit from the airport taxes charges, advertising on their airplanes, and of course by having the small regional airports paying them in order to bring passengers and boost the tourism in that specific region. With regards the aviation industry, already from 2001 the business model have changed. In the coming future there will be more and more low priced tickets for the mass and there will also be a boost of business and first class travellers that will travel with exclusive airlines, such as Silverjet etc. Here in EU, some low cost airlines already struggle with the high competitive market. For example Vueling (a very reliable and good service airline) is expected to close down several slots/routes. In addition, companies such as Corendon, they mainly work with Travel agencies that provide complete tourist packages. In any case, for the reason I am involved in the aviation industry (as a hobby and not professionally) I would not mind sharing with you my experiences and knowledge. Have a nice day.
