How to compete against other airlines? - sargester - 09-01-2016
For the past 2 updates, I have been having the problem where my load factors on a route will still be low even though i have lowered prices and even in some cases cut back on flights. For Example let's use one of my routes with B6 (me) and DL(A.I.) JFK-SLC
.Me 4x a day all Y service and with prices slashed 50% under Delta's, Load factor= 46.8% (EMB-190 all 4 flights)
.DL 2x a day J/Y service with 757-200 L/F=higher than mine (not too sure how to check) but if the math makes sense it's 64.6%
So to sum it up, how to I compete against other airlines I guess. Somebody please explain.

You need to improve you service in general. I don't know the specs of you airline but think about it like this. Me as a customer why would I fly on a small airline with maybe cheaper prices but does not get me from Point A to D. If you only fly from Point B to C or A to B then I might as well pay higher for the ease of one airline. Increase the number of routes you have and use better seats and aircraft.

These three flag carriers are fiercely competitive… with each other. Abu Dhabi has to up its game because it’s only an hour’s drive from Dubai. So they offer complimentary car service for premium passengers and complimentary bus service for coach. They want to be a viable option for the Dubai financial center. In much the same way Newark, Baltimore, and Oakland were once backwaters. Refer essay writing service reviews to get reviews of various online writers.
