Business Proposal

Introduction

Current research has noted that there has been an increase in the demand for low-cost aviation services which is coupled by a rise in the demand for passengers travels on different routes globally (Gerardi & Shapiro, 2009). Also, the number of airlines operating in different lines have increased leading to intense competition.
