Abstract
In this paper, we analyse the potential demand for premium products on medium haul leisure routes, which is currently not met by appropriate supply. More precisely, we discuss if all-premium class services targeting the wealthy tourist could be viable on such routes. In a case study approach, we estimate potential costs, average ticket prices and demand for hypothetical all-premium class operations between Germany and Spanish islands Majorca, Gran Canaria and Tenerife.
