Directions : Read the following pas-sage carefully and answer the questions given below. Certain words/phrases are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
Aviation is an essential link for travel, trade and connectivity. While full-service carriers attract passengers with the overall quality of their services, low-cost airlines compete on cost. They offer bare-bone services, fly more sectors a day and operate from smaller, secondary airports that have lower charges. These may be very far from the city centres costing passengers more time and money to get into the town. Some services like London’s Luton are aimed at eliminating the problems of connecting flights. They tend to avoid head-on competition with each other and prey on full-service airlines. Staff are usually less well paid, more intensively used and in shorter supply as compared to full-service airlines. There are numerous exceptions even though in other countries. Easy Jet operates from major airports and Jet Blue offers live programmes for free.
In India 70% of the operating costs of low-cost airlines are the same as that of full-service carriers, leaving just 30% to juggle with to gain an overall advantage overfull-service carriers. Many of the costs like fuel are above global levels. Exorbitant State and Central government taxes and duties are the main culprits. Air Deccan envisions that their airline fares will match rail fares-unattainable because the economies of scale that the railways enjoy, Few secondary airports and fares falling faster than their costs have hurt low-cost airlines more than others, as they have to achieve higher fleet utilization. Allowing low cost airlines to utilize non-metro airports at lower charges during off. peak hours while providing full-service airlines peak-hour slots but at higher rates could help.
Low-cost airlines can aid economic development and the current economic boom has been the right time to launch India’s low-cost revolution though in their efforts to achieve economies of scale and greater market share, they have been reckless and have gone deep into the red.
