Plane Wreck Question # 2-Nicole Damboise

I think that budget airlines are definitely in a different strategic group than major network airlines. Budget airlines concentrate on flying out of secondary hubs rather than the more dominating ones that are closer to the major cities. Network airlines are more for luxury and provide international flights. They also provide in-house services. Network airline flights are more costly than budget. Budget airlines only provide one type of plane which is the bowing 747 and don't provide in-house luxuries. This could turn a customer away from a flight and they might not think it's as comfortable as a network flight.
