Low Cost Airlines in Australia

Currently, there are 5 low cost airlines companies operating within, or into and out of Australia. This is a trend we anticipate seeing increase dramatically in the coming years, with over 70 airlines operating Low Cost Internationally now.
This relatively new phenomenon first emerged internationally in the 1980's, with Australia's first low cost airline, Compass Airlines, began operations in 1990, and collapsed around a year later..

A low-cost airline is an Airline that has lower fares (clearly). Generally it accepted that a Low Cost Airline's business model is to make up for revenue lost in decreased ticket sales, by charging for extras like food, priority boarding, seat allocating, and baggage etc.
The term originated within the airline industry referring to airlines with a lower operating cost structure than their competitors. In our context, we consider any carrier with low ticket prices and limited services, regardless of their operating models, as low-cost carriers.
