ABSTRACT
The previous chapter looked at airport requirements for leisure passengers. This chapter now develops this theme further by focusing on low cost carriers (LCCs). The development of these airlines over the last few years, which has been examined by Barrett Chapter 9, has certainly revolutionised the air transport industry across all its sectors: airlines, aircraft manufacturers, ATC and airports. For airports the impact of attracting low cost carriers can be summarised in four main areas: marketing, finance, operations and capital investments.
