low-cost carrier

A low-cost carrier (LCC) is an airline that offers fares that are significantly lower than traditional airlines by reducing operational costs. They often charge for extras, such as checked baggage, seat selection, and onboard meals, allowing passengers to pay only for the services they choose. LCCs typically use secondary airports, have simpler scheduling, and may operate less luxurious aircraft. This business model appeals to budget-conscious travelers looking for affordable options for air travel, although it may involve trade-offs in terms of comfort and convenience.
