Brazil cheap airfares: Overview
One of the crucial dynamics that began during
the late 1990’s was a change in the demand
for air travel as both business and leisure
travelers became more sensitive to price.
During the economic growth bubble of the late
1990’s, yield management techniques enabled
airlines to successfully extract more revenue
from passengers who needed to travel while also
stimulating demand for discretionary travel. Yet
the combination of increased volume of lower-fare
nonwork travel, the growing spread between
highest and lowest fares, and more acceptable
low-fare travel alternatives, led to increased
acceptance of low-cost carriers such as AirTran
or JetBlue in recent years. The physical scope
and size of these networks originally limit their
transportation utility of low-fare carriers, but
other qualitative issues such as safety and
service reliability also presented barriers to
market penetration. Safety, for example, was
often cited as a major concern with travelers
flying on low-cost carriers, and the Valujet
crash in the Florida Everglades in 1996 fueled
these doubts.
As the low-fare segment of the airline industry
recreated itself in the late 1990’s with new
airplanes and innovative business models to
overcome issues of safety and image, they began
to present a real and credible threat to the
traditional major network carriers throughout the
country and even in specific home markets.
While the legacy network carriers including
American,Continental, Delta, Eastern, Northwest,
TWA, United, and USAir—accounted for 88.4
percent of the total market share of
revenuepassenger miles in 1991. By 2001, this had
dropped to 73.1 percent. In contrast, Southwest
increased its market share from 3.0 percent in
1991 to over 9.2 percent in 2001, while the
combined total of the other smaller carriers had
a similar increase. An analysis of
itinerary-level data from the DOT ten-percent
ticket sample shows that AirTran has been able to
penetrate Delta’s fortress hub at Atlanta,
and has increased its share of the local
origin-demand market from 9.9 percent in 1998 to
14.0 percent in 2001. JetBlue has been able to
capture 28.6 percent of the local market at New
York-JFK within two years of its startup in 2000.
