You must be wondering that what different these carriers do to offer cheap flights? They all operate in a simple business model – secure a seat only with the base price and pay additionally for all other services. Even Airlines’ objective is to cut down all the additional costs to compensate for the low airfares. To achieve this, they operate aircrafts with single passenger class from small airports, majorly use a narrow body to cut down the fuel and maintenance costs, operate on short-haul flights with multiple bases, no meals or additional amenities included in the ticket prices and often the prices quoted are without additional charges and taxes. The base prices for the seats kept low initially however as the plane seat get filled, the prices gradually rise what favours the early reservations.

Wow is an Iceland-based airline that offers ultra-low fares from Toronto and Montreal to a number of European destinations. It was launched in 2015 and since then it has brought a revolution in the Candian market with its eye-popping fare sales. It offered rock-bottom prices for flights between Canada and Europe while fares were advertised as low as $149 one-way and carried passengers with Airbus A320/A321 long-range aircrafts. Though Wow air has substantially kept its promise of low airfares, however, it does charge extra fees for everything from extra leg room and baggage to flight changes.
It could have been considered as a new revolution as it set up the base with the establishment of an ultra-low-carriers in Canda and soon more airlines would follow these footsteps to stay at par with the competition and meet the ever-increasing demands of air travel.

Westjet is all set to launch its ultra-low-cost carrier in the summer of 2018 by brand name Swoop. The Airline would start its services covering Abbotsford, Hamilton, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Halifax. The Airline would operate with Boeing 737-800 aircraft that ensures more seat availability, however, one would have to pay extra for onboard snacks, leg rooms and other basic amenities available on regular flights. Still, it pretty much serves the purpose and would allow more people to take advantage of low airfares while they cut on the other luxuries of air travel.
