Flying With LCC – Is it Safe?

                                                    LCC Scoot (Wiki)

Recently there have been several airline crashes and incidents involving Low Cost Carriers, or LCCs. The question is: are LCCs less safe than traditional carriers? The answer seems to be mixed, or as they say in Japan: case by case. As RG21 reported in a previous post, LCCs are booming in Asia with airlines buying hundreds of aircraft as a time. In most countries LCCs are required to maintain the same safety standards as traditional carriers. Aviation writers also point out that LCCs cut down on customer comfort and frills, but match their big brothers for safety. So, this week’s question: Do you fly LCCs? And do you feel safe flying LCCs? Please log in and give us your thoughts.
