Abstract
Küreselleşme, entegrasyon süreçleri ve pazarın değişen ihtiyaçları birçok sanayi sektörünü yeni stratejiler geliştirmeye sevk etmiştir. Bu yeni stratejiler özellikle hava taşımacılığı sektöründe doğrudan bir değişimi beraberinde getirmiştir. Havacılık sektöründeki firmaların birçoğu doksanlı yılların başında Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nde ortaya çıkan "düşük maliyetli taşıyıcı" olarak adlandırılan yeni rekabetçi iş modelini gerçekleştirmeye çalışmışlardır. 'Düşük maliyetli taşıyıcı' modelinin temel özelliği tek yolcu sınıflı ve sadece bir uçak modelinin kullanılmasıdır. Bu makalede, düşük maliyetli stratejiye odaklanan Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nden Southwest Havayolları ile Türkiye'den Pegasus Havayollarına başarılarına ilişkin vaka çalışması yapılmıştır
