The void has been filled in Vegas by the ULCC’s. I think the ULCC’s will see the same thing happen in markets like Florida, Vegas, and the Caribbean during a recession. People won’t be going on vacations no matter how cheap the tickets are.
2.) The problem would be available landing slots and gates.
