budget carrier

以前にも書きましたが、「budget=予算」という図式だけではいけませんね。こういうときにもbudgetを使うんですね。camelくん、budgetの語彙をもう一度、説明してください。(UG)

ANA budget carrier to vie with regional rivals

All Nippon Airways' announcement that the firm will establish the nation's first low-cost carrier under a major airline by the end of the year is a response to the threat posed by the expansion of budget carriers in Asia, according to industry sources.
ANA's planned budget airline, slated to begin domestic and international flights in the second half of fiscal 2011, will likely intensify the scramble for passengers among airlines, railway companies and bus operators, the sources said Thursday.
However, it remains to be seen whether this expansion in transport options will be in travelers' best interest.
At a press conference Thursday, ANA President Shinichiro Ito announced that the low-cost carrier will be run in cooperation with Hong Kong-based First Eastern Investment Group, with Kansai Airport in Osaka as the airline's hub. The firm will operate independently of ANA, with 66.7 percent of the company held by Japanese investors, including 39 percent by ANA. First Eastern will own 33.3 percent, the maximum foreign ownership allowed in domestic airlines.
