Global Full-Service Airline Market Research Report: Ken Research
Although full service carriers (FSCs) have been facing severe competition from low-cost carriers
across the globe, China, one of the most important airline markets in the world, is still largely
dominated by FSCs. In 2015, FSCs accounted for 92% of the total seats sold in China
Key Findings
The US was the largest market for full service airlines in terms of seats sold and revenues in
2015, followed by China. Mexico recorded the highest load factor of 89.9% in 2015. During the
historic period (2011-2015), Peru led the race in terms of seats sold at a CAGR of 13.3% while
New Zealand recorded the highest growth in revenue per passenger
The transatlantic market, which is traditionally largely dominated by full service carriers,
particularly the big three US airlines-Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, and United Airlines-is
gradually being captured by European low-cost carriers such as Norwegian and WOW. The
American airlines are trying to combat by placing pressure on a regulatory front, such as halting
the expansion of Norwegian on these routes. Delta Airlines is also considering introducing
cheap fares
To face Sprint and Frontier on domestic routes, Delta Airlines introduced "basic economy" class
in which passengers are not allowed to select seats in advance, while United and American
Airlines plan to reduce fares
In the wake of heightened competition from low-cost airlines on international routes, full
service airlines are rolling out measures to attract budget-conscious customers.
For instance, Delta is considering redesigning cabins and reviewing fares. To attract cash-
strapped Middle Eastern customers in oil-rich markets, who are hit by low oil prices, Emirates
Airlines is introducing cabins set between coach and business class.
