European low-cost carrier growth moderates in Mar-2011
None of Europe’s largest LCCs reported passenger growth in excess of 15% in Mar-2011, marking a slowing in growth in 2011 among Europe’s largest LCCs. A key trend has been that while these European LCCs are adding new routes and establishing new bases, there have also been a number of route and base reductions, as the region’s largest LCCs, including Ryanair and easyJet, increase focus on profitable growth.
