How budget airlines work ? A big question because when we try to book tickets we can clearly see these budget airlines offer some great price to the customers. The budget airlines were started in Europe and now they are all over the world. In India we have INDIGO,SPICEJET,GO AIR,AIR ASIA INDIA. But in Europe you can easily found 2 hour long flight below 10 euro   and the price is significantly less than the traditional airways . Europe has EASY JET ,RYAN AIR,WIZZ AIR.Some times the price may be half or sometimes even quarter of the price. So how is it possible ?

As we can see in the picture, it has the same delta wing configuration that CONCORDE had but it would be built in composite materials for lower costs. It will be powered by three 3500   lbf dry GENERAL Electric CJ610 engines . Speed Difference As the Concorde was very successful in Trans-Atlantic flights , BOOM is going to follow this . With a range of 4,500 nmi
