Budget airlines do not have “hubs” like big airlines to. A typical day for a budget airline might start at A, fly to B, fly to C, fly to D, and end at E. If something happens to the A-B flight, everything else down the line gets messed up.

Meanwhile a big airline will fly from A to B, then back to A, and back to B. If something happens with an aircraft, they will have others on the same route ready to absorb the other passengers
