Research Abstract |
We consider network design for a low-cost air carrier (LCC) entering a market where mega carriers have already provided flight services. Using the real data reported by Japan’s Government, we estimate the parameters of logit model. The proposed network design model finds an optimal hub-and-spoke network for LCC and the flight frequency in each air route simultaneously. Our numerical experiments show that an optimal strategy for LCC is providing flight services between Haneda Airport and airports located in the neighborhood of large cities rather than the large cities.
