    I was part of a startup airline in Asia about a decade ago. It was an arduous task and from the initial filing to having a certificate a year and a half later. Lots of champagne was poured after each hurdle was complete. Airline operations became easy once the planes started flying. It was a great experience, but something I would never want to do again.

      Airlines do not have to prove their competitive pricing practices are financially sustainable like other industries do. For example, if Chevrolet began charging $5 for the Silverado, Ford and Ram could take them to court for price fixing to eliminate completion - that is anti competitive and illegal. If Frontier charges $1 for a flight from Denver to Orlando, that is completely legal, even though they’d lose about $10K every time the flight occurred.

    One interesting and entirely unmentioned factor that likely will substantially affect the probability of startup airlines success is how they can address the massive pilot shortage in both the United States and abroad. It will be a challenge for new companies with less desirable compensation and work rules to attract and maintain pilots. You definitely did a great job exploring some of the other factors!

    The rise of JetBlue is quite interesting. They are considered budget but their flights basically has all the characteristics of a mainline airline, like American. No carry on fees, first class in the cabin, in flight entertainment, free snacks and drinks and recently, trans Atlantic flights. The only reason they are considered budget is because they have low cost seats but by most definitions, they really aren’t a budget airline and fit the criteria to be a mainline

I use them to commute sometimes. There’s lots of things that are surprising about these type of flights and I would invite your subscribers to take an adventure on one. They’re regional flights mostly. Very different from flying the big commercial coast to coast non stop flights. Great video. Big fan!

    Ansett was not the only full service carrier in Australia when they collapsed, they had strong competition from Qantas who just five years earlier had merged with TAA. You also didn’t mention that Virgin Australia started as a low cost airline and it would be almost 10 years before they went ‘full service’ which many would argue is where they went wrong, as they were now marketing them selves to have the same quality of service as Qantas, which they were never going to properly achieve with their infrastructure.

    Your information is usually well researched and consequently quite accurate. There is an error with regard to the Ansett/Virgin discussion. Ansett was NOT the only full service carrier at the time of its collapse. Qantas was also operating at the time and has always been a full service carrier. Virgin started off as a low cost carrier and sadly that is what they've gone back to being. As always great video :)
