Understanding the low cost carrier and airport relationship: a critical analysis of the salient issues.
TL;DR: The authors examined the relationship between low cost carriers (LCCs) and airports by undertaking a critical analysis of the academic research in this area and found that the LCC's choice of airport is very much determined by its operating model, although through time a wide variation of models have evolved which has complicated the situation.

The evolving low-cost business model: Network implications of fare bundling and connecting flights in Europe
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the influence of several route characteristics on the share that European pure low-cost and hybrid low cost carriers have on the routes they operate and show that the distance between the archetypical low cost carrier business model and the adapted low cost airline business model with a hybrid approach is widening.

An Empirical Analysis of Airline Business Model Convergence
Jost Daft,Sascha Albers +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the development of airline business models over time and used various distance measures to calculate concrete differentiation levels among these airlines between 2004 and 2012, and found that increasing similarity between these airlines, which lends support to the generally assumed convergence trend, complements the mostly qualitative and anecdotal literature on convergence in the airline industry, empirically shows actual adaptations in airlines' business models, and provides a platform for further research in the fields of empirical convergence analysis and corresponding strategic airline management.
