Low-cost airlines all differ in their service offerings but by definition feature some or most of the following principles:
Standardized fleet (lower training, maintenance costs; purchasing aircraft in bulk)
Remove non-essential features (non-reclining seats, no frequent flyer schemes)
Use of secondary airports (lower landing fees, marketing support)
Abandon airports which have too high costs
Rapid turnaround (less time on the ground, more flights per day)
Keep aircraft on the ground for very short time (less unprofitable standstill)
Online ticket sales (avoid call centres or agents, charge extra for those)
Online check-in (fewer check-in desks). Charge for desk check-in.
Impose baggage charges (a manned bag drop disk is needed for bags, and of course people loading and unloading the aircraft. This also allows extra revenue for checked bags, hidden when e.g. a family discusses which airline to use). Some carriers charge extra for baggage on non-flexible tickets (mostly tourists) but include the baggage charge in the ticket price for flexible tickets (mostly business travelers, who often have no checked baggage).
Jetways not needed (avoiding extra airport cost) (Stansted, the main Ryanair hub, has jetways, and they are needed for very large airports in order to avoid chaos on ground)
Have staff do multiple jobs (cabin crew also check tickets at the gate, clean aircraft)
Hedge fuel costs (buying fuel in advance when it is cheaper)
Charge for all services (including on-board services, reserved seating, and extra baggage)
Do not use reserved seating (which slows down the loading of the aircraft), or charge extra for reserved seating, or for early boarding.
Fly point to point (passenger transfers to other flights are not accommodated, no compensation for missed connections)
Carry very little extra fuel (reducing the weight of the aircraft)
Have the plane outfitted with cost-cutting modifications as winglets[5][6][7]
Route planning before aircraft arrives at airport (saving time on the ground)
Market and sell destination services such as hotels and rental cars and get royalty from that.
