Low-Cost Airlines Grow and Compete in Europe
EUROPE'S low-cost airlines are scrambling for the continent's cheap-ticket market, which has boomed as the traditional flag carriers have suffered after Sept. 11 from the decline in business and trans-Atlantic travel.
EasyJet, one of the leading British no-frills airlines, is in the process of buying Go, another low-cost carrier that used to be part of British Airways, in an ever-sharpening contest with Ryanair, based in Dublin, the leading no-frills carrier in Europe.
