- AirAsia leads 2024's top low-cost airlines, reflecting a global budget travel trend, possibly due to its post-9/11 recovery and cost-cutting strategies.

- SkyTrax rankings favor Asian and European carriers like IndiGo (5th) and Ryanair (9th), with no North American airlines (e.g., Spirit) in the top 13, likely due to regional pricing or regulatory differences.

- No accident rate data is given, but a 2019 Journal of Air Transport Management study found no clear safety compromise with low-cost airlines, though maintenance varies by region.
