| dc.description.abstract | The development of low-cost carriers has taken a dramatic shift in the past decades. One of the most fundamental arguments for the emergence of low-cost carriers in Europe is the liberalisation of its aviation industry. This research investigates what variables are important for low-cost carriers entering a new market. By means of a random effects panel data analysis, this research investigated 36 countries in the European Common Aviation Area in a time period from 2004-2012. This study investigates what institutional and market characteristics are important in respectively entering a country and an airport. The results show that low-cost carrier market share is positively correlated with EU/ECAA membership, the number of Internet users, and catchment area. Additionally, this research has also found a negative relation between low-cost carrier market share and ‘voice and accountability’, ‘control of corruption’, and competition. | en_US |
