Whilst mostly associated with short-haul operations, certain aspects of the LCC model can be readily adapted to the long-haul market. These are however well known to legacy carriers and new entrants alike. The distinction between LCC’s and other carriers are becoming more blurred as many airline have adopted elements of the lowcost model already and in long-haul markets, LCC's will have to adopt some elements of the traditional business model. Any airline wishing to maintain cost advantages may find itself needing to continually look for ways to innovate. The cost structure of long-haul operations is such that cost advantages may be most readily achievable in labour costs and central administration.
