Various aspects of the evolution of business models of low-cost airlines, due to the airport factor, are considered. The trends in the evolution of business models of low-cost airlines related to the airport factor are systematized. It is noted that business models of low-cost companies, as dynamically developing systems, influence business models of airports, shaping their geographical structure, dimensional parameters and distinctive qualitative and quantitative indicators.
 
Keywords: low-cost airlines, business modeling, system - integral methodology, airport factor.
