What is a no-frills airline? Does this airline offer equal vacancies?

No-Frills as the word in itself means, without unnecessary extras or any added items used for basically decoration purpose. In case of airlines “No-Frills " hence means those airlines that are dedicated to just business, business of transportation of passengers or cargo. They operate as low cost airlines because each additional item added for your service is charged and the passengers are made to pay that amount. A low-cost career or low-cost airline (also known as no-frills, discount or budget career or airline, or LCC) is an airline without most of the traditional services provided in the fare, resulting in lower fares and fewer comforts. To make up for revenue lost in decreased ticket prices, the airline may charge for extras such as food, priority boarding, seat allocating, and baggage. The term originated within the airline industry referring to airlines with a lower operating cost structure than their competitors. While the term is often applied to any career with low ticket prices and limited services, regardless of their operating models, low-cost carriers should not be confused with regional airlines that operate short flights without service, or with full-service airlines offering some reduced fares. Equal employment opportunity is nowadays followed by almost all airlines, may it be a low cost career or highly decorated one. So if you are looking for an opportunity in any no-frills air operator rest assured that you shall be provided with equal opportunity as others do. There are some restrictions which are ruled by culture like in middle-east countries where they are still to open all doors of opportunities for working women.

Some of these low-cost carriers are as "no-frills" as their nickname implies: little more than flying buses, with no assigned seating, in-flight entertainment, or even free grub. In India, airline jobs are perfect for all those who want to enjoy a professional life blended with luxury and glamour. With increasing number of customers/ travelers, the aviation industry is experiencing a boom. Low-cost carriers also played a major role in the expansion of airlines industry as bringing the price of flight tickets in the pocket made flight an affordable service for the middle class too. They also offer pilot jobs, flight mechanic jobs, cabin crew jobs, ground -duty staff vacancies, air hostess job vacancies.

Hi, As we categorise the society, we have different names for airlines/career as well, namely- Luxury Airlines and Non-frills Airlines. There is no need of introduction of luxury airlines. Frills air lines are low-cost airlines which provides you the lesser number of facilities as compared to others. While the term is often applied to any career with low ticket prices and limited services, regardless of their operating models, low-cost carriers should not be confused with regional airlines that operate short flights without service, or with full-service airlines offering some reduced fares. For example; In India, Air Deccan is one among those airline who are 'No Frills'. Currently, the South West Airlines are the world’s largest no frills airline which operated in United States and nearby areas. As the name suggests that no frills are low cost hence working in these airlines also is equal to an under paid job. You cannot earn much here. Selection criteria is also quite lenient as compared to others.

To sum it up in one sentence, A No-frill airlines is nothing but a low cost airline that does not offer anything more than the basic flight and luggage allowance. It means there is no free food, beverages or any other goodies being offered free of cost. The fewer comforts offered by the airline in turn reduces the cost of the tickets and in turn benefits passengers on short haul flights who are not looking for anything more other than travelling from point A to Point B. Now, as these airlines sell tickets for cheaper than other traditional airlines, they lose out on ticketing revenue. To cope up with that loss, most of these airlines do offer food, beverages and lifestyle products, but there is a price for that which a passenger has to pay on-board to avail them. Now, talking about the vacancies, these low cost airlines should not be compared to companies with small aircrafts with no staff flying from point A to point B with no services. A lot of the No frills airlines fly huge passenger jets. The cabin crew present in the flight are not only there to serve customers food and beverages, but they also are trained to handle emergency situations and medical emergencies. They are specialized in providing safety to the passengers in case of any mishap. There is a misconception that low cost airlines would have a lesser staff because the number of cabin crew in an airline isn't based on services offered but based on the number of seats installed in an aircraft. So, there is almost no difference in the job vacancies the LCCs offer, and there are examples in India like Indigo Airlines, which despite being no-frills, has a bigger staff than many other luxury airlines in the world.

Hello, No frills airlines is an interesting name given by the press. Normal airlines offer many facilities for their guests in the aircraft as well as in the airport like lounge etc. A no frills airlines offer nothing except for things mandated by DGCA or the regulator in this sector. Now having understood this, it can be guessed that some cabin crew vacancies could be less, since no food or beverages are served to everyone except on payment. But, other than this, almost everything else remains same. Prescribed minimum air crew, cabin crew from safety perspective are indeed required to be employed. On ground, there is absolutely no change as compared with normal career and, hence vacancies of different cadres will be same. Hence to conclude, I will say that except for reduction in certain numbers of cabin crew, there is no reduction of vacancies.
