The Most Successful Low-Cost Carriers

Monday, August 03, 2009
Low-cost carriers (LCCs) have taken the commercial aviation world by storm the past decade. As a young professional pilot, you may find you are interested in flying for one of these LLCs somewhere in the world. Low cost carriers are often lumped together as one category of commercial airlines when analysed, but they do differ in terms of their size and their profitability. So if you are deciding which airlines you would prefer to fly for or to which airlines to send your resume, you may want to consider the following Top 10 of the world's most successful LCCs. Many graduates of Phoenix East Aviation fly for LCCs throughout the world. The Top 10 LCCs worldwide are North America: AirTran, JetBlue, Southwest, Westjet South America: GOL Europe: easyJet, Ryanair Middle East: Air Arabia Asia-Pacific: AirAsia (including thai AirAsia and Indonesia Air Asia), Virgin Blue. India and Mexico also have fast-growing LCCs, but none have yet established themselves as long-term profitable survivors as have the above-named airlines.

Phoenix East made dreams come true. As a former flight student and flight instructor at Phoenix East Aviation, I have to give PEA all the credit for making my dreams come true. Phoenix East provided me with very professional and timely flight training. Included in my course was the B-727 airline training program that prepared me for the big jets and an airline job. The fact that I was given the opportunity to work as an instructor after graduation made me obtain the necessary experience and flight hours to become eligible for an airline job. In my Scandinavian Airlines interview, the Captain made a great point of me being a graduate of Phoenix East Aviation. He said that he had seen a lot of highly qualified applicants come from Phoenix East. Well, I got the job. Today I’m a First Officer on an MD-88 for Scandinavian Airlines and I love it.
