Who competes head to head with legacy airlines?
November 6, 2009 on 8:00 am | In Airline Service | No CommentsI find it interesting that of the established LCC carriers in the United States, only one of them seems unafraid to compete with major legacy airlines at their established hub and/or focus city airports. Airtan.
Every other successful LCC airline has followed a model of ducking and weaving away from the home territories of established major legacy airlines and, they, too have been successful. However, I think Airtran has managed to prove you don’t need to be afraid of a legacy airline if you have the right product and prices. I would applaud loudly if they ever came into DFW and provided some real competition to American Airlines by making DFW a focus city.
