Great review of the current state of the LCC model. It seems the only successful LCCs (Alaska) aren’t truly LCCs. We agree that the ULCC model is unlikely to last much longer.
How far do you think we are from commercial electric planes? That development would definitely make budget airlines super attractive based on your fuel price consumption model even if they would only go short distances.
I am not an expert in this area, but my impression is that battery technology is years away from making this viable. I wrote about EVTOLs. I might be wrong and happy to be corrected.
