Low-cost takes off in Italy
15 March 2007A survey carried out by Certet (Center of regional economics, transports and tourism) has evidenced that 13% of the overall flights operating in Italy (718 per week) is low-cost, and has identified Ryanair as the leader airline with regard to the international routes (33.4% of the weekly flights) and WindJet for the national ones (616 flights).
The data related to the busiest route by passenger-traffic is very interesting, and reveals that the leadership gained by the Milan-London connections is due to the cheap tickets requested to reach the British capital, operative center for many no-frills carriers.
