Airports and Air Service Networks are critical economic facilitators
• Impact of Paris Airport on Ille de France region – 300,000 jobs and €25bn income injection (and the small geographic region produces 30% of French GDP)
• 30% of companies re-locating to Munich cite the airport’s route network as the critical re-location factor
• Strong Eastern European route network from Vienna has made it a regional HQ for Coca Cola, Ericsson,IBM,SAP, Kraft Foods
• 2007 LAED study showed that each Asian and European international flight at Los Angeles Airport created 3,126 jobs, $156m in wages and $623m in annual revenues to businesses in the Los Angeles area
• Connectivity created by international air service has a massive stimulatory effect on economies
Ireland and Dublin has demonstrated that it can deliver in this area
US FDI investment into Ireland is bigger than France/Germany combined, and 20% higher than BRIC countries combined
US companies are expected to continue to invest in Ireland, creating additional 20,000 jobs between 2012 and the end of 2014
$1 in every $20 invested around the world by US businesses resides in the Irish economy
Dublin Airport’s US route network punches above it’s weight and underpins

international airports

Team Ireland approach to developing the China market
• Dublin Airport Twinning Agreement with Beijing Capital International Airport offers unique opportunity to jointly develop direct air services
• Builds on the successful Twinning Link between Dublin and Beijing at city level
• Close co-operation with all stakeholders including CAAC, Tourism Ireland, IDA, Enterprise Ireland, DOJ, DFAT
• Irish Embassy Beijing acts as on the ground lead/co-ordinator
• Direct air services to Ireland now accepted by both Irish and Chinese governments as a key priority
• Using air service development as a facilitator, can we repeat the US experience with Chinese FDI to Ireland ?
