How Europe’s Airline Plan to Stop Budget Carriers Backfired

Video Description

There was a time when flying from Paris to Rome cost more than a month’s rent. Then, almost overnight, that entire system collapsed. Tiny upstarts with impossible business models began tearing Europe’s flag carriers apart, and within a decade, air travel stopped being a luxury, it became a habit. This is how low-cost airlines rewrote the rules of European aviation. How they used forgotten airfields, single-type fleets, and ruthless efficiency to crush legacy giants. How the very regulations meant to protect national carriers ended up destroying them. Now the budget airlines aren’t just winning Europe, they are preparing to invade the Atlantic. And if they succeed, the last stronghold of the old aviation order will fall. They didn’t just make flying cheaper. They changed what flying means. #airplane #passengeraircraft
