Is Tianjin Airlines a low-cost airline? Can you talk about it?

Recently, the "Prompt" issued by Tianjin Airlines shows that Tianjin Airlines will fully launch differentiated services for domestic flights: from the departure date of flights on October 28th, 2008/KLOC-0+2065438+65438+28, Tianjin Airlines will provide free checked baggage services with different amounts for passengers who purchase different types of air tickets.

Passengers can purchase the excess baggage allowance according to their own needs through Tianjin Airlines official website and the check-in counter. At the same time, except for the exclusive economy class, other economy class passengers will no longer enjoy free meals and can buy them if necessary.

In fact, Tianjin Airlines is not the first airline to cancel free meals. Xiang Peng Airlines, Spring Airlines, Western Airlines, China United Airlines and many other airlines have cancelled free meals and drinks for ordinary air tickets.

I understand the so-called "low-cost airlines", that is, the airlines are only responsible for delivering you and your luggage safely to your destination, and the air tickets are very cheap, so you can't expect service.

To put it bluntly, it is to let air travel return to its essence: a mode of transportation.

This is actually a major trend in the aviation industry: the needs of the public are met by "low-cost airlines", the needs of the rich are solved by "traditional airlines", and the target market is subdivided!
