    What is the differences in definition between Low Cost Carrier and Regional Carrier?

    Some so called low cost airlines provide the service of a low cost airline but charges full fare prices for tickets

    https://www.airlineratings.com/regional_rating_criteria.php and https://www.airlineratings.com/low_cost_rating_criteria.php explain the difference between the two and also how we rate each category.The two, as you suggest, can be very hard to tell apart and we have on occasion had to ask the airline what they want to be referred to as they do fit in to both criteria. Examples of this are air baltic and flybe.
