Different authors have identified different aspects or model associated with the low costcarrier. In this context, as per the view point of Lu and et.al. (2012) the firm applies low costmodel upon airlines by using an effective pricing policies. In this context, it is assessed that lowcost airline does not segregate its buyers on the basis of prices. Thus, it offers same type of fareto all the customers. Moreover, low cost airline (LCA) offers necessary discounts to the buyers ifthey will purchase their tickets in advance. In addition to this, some firms generate revenue byoffering different type of services from their websites such as credit card payment and check inbaggage etc. However, firm like EasyJet do not use such type of method of saving as it complieswith computer reservation system. In addition to this Patel, (2013) have asserted that low costairline have point to point network or short haul routes. This enables airline firms with regard tomake connection with such routes or point where customers visited very frequently. Thus, byopting short haul routes cost and sales maximization benefits is gained by the LCA. However,Ashford, Coutu and Beasley, (2013) have examined that LCA are expanding their services to themedium haul markets due to the presence of intense competition in the existing routes. Forexample, airlines such as EasyJet and Rynair are practicing the same. Morrell, (2013) have statedthat LCA maintain their low cost by eliminating all the additional services such as catering,magazines and entertainment etc. Services given to attract students towards the low cost airline As per the view point of Creaton, (2014) LCA offers discounts to the students in thecircumstance when they book their ticket in advance. It is being regarded as one of the mosteffective tactic for attracting the students. This is because, it has been seen that different salespromotional techniques helps in attracting the large number of buyers towards the enterprises inan effective way. This same thing is also applied by EasyJet. In addition to this, according to theview point of Wensveen, (2015) some LCA brands attracts buyers by using customization relatedoffer. In this regard, firm molds its services as per the needs and demands of its respectivebuyers. Through this way, it attracts large number of buyers. However, Patel (2013) havedepicted that LCA attracts customers by showcasing its presence among large number ofdestination. EasyJet cover many destinations from the low cost carrier. The given thing provideopportunity to the students with respect to perform their travel and tourism activity in differentplaces. 3
