Low-cost carriers are responsible for bringing affordable air travel to the masses. These carriers, also known as budget carriers, have low fares with low-end to moderate service as compared to full-service airlines. Low prices and promotional offers are the major factors driving the low-cost carrier segment. The low-cost model has been very successful for short-haul routes, creating a surge in demand for narrow-body aircraft. Emerging countries are replicating this model to provide low-cost services to the growing middle-class population. Emerging economies, such as India and China, are potential markets for lost-cost airlines. The demand for such airlines is also high in countries such as Mexico and South Africa. Over 60% of passengers in Mexico prefer traveling by low-cost airlines, whereas the introduction of these airlines in South Africa has resulted in an increase in tourism.
Low-cost airlines tend to procure narrow-body aircraft, owing to their need for short-distance travel and the aircraft's easy maintenance. This has increased the demand for narrow-body aircraft, directly affecting the aircraft seating market.
Challenge: Regulations to install 16G seats in all aircraft
Within the next few years, commercial aircraft with 9G seats will no longer be permitted to operate, as per European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations. The FAA has completed its work on the requirement for aircraft to have stronger seats, which must be designed to increase the survivability of passengers and flight attendants during accidents. As per the new mandates, which affect all aircraft built after October 2009, the seats must be able to withstand 16 times the force of gravity, compared with the 9G standard in effect since 1952. The floors and tracks where the seats are installed must also be able to withstand the same level of gravity pressure. When the FAA proposed the stronger seat rule in 2002, its intention was for airlines to retrofit existing fleets with stronger seats. Airlines having aircraft with 9G seats are replacing them with 16G seats as and when these aircraft are scheduled for retrofitting, as they have been given about 14 years to comply with the new regulations. These mandates pose a challenge for airlines in terms of cost and time as mainly of them do not have the budget to replace seats of all older aircraft with new ones.
