Low-cost carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The first successful low-cost carrier was Pacific Southwest Airlines in the United States, which pioneered the concept when their first flight took place on May 6, 1949. A low-cost carrier (United States English) or low cost airline (British English) (also known as a no-frills or discount carrier / airline) is an airline that offers low fares but eliminates most traditional passenger services. As of 2004, low cost carriers are now edging into Australasia, led by operators such as Malaysia's Air Asia, and Australia's Virgin Blue. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Low-cost_carrier   (992 words)
