Lodewijks, G. Faculty Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering Department Marine & Transport Technology Date 2008-10-15 Abstract The deregulation and liberalization of the air transportation industry have developed three main passenger business models: full service carriers, low-cost carriers, and charter airlines. Deregulation removed regulated fares and routes increasing competition and yields. Airlines business models main objectives are to minimize operation costs and fares, and to maximize profits based on cost leadership, differentiation and focus strategy.
