WHAT IS ‘LOW COST’?
10
The Model and its Evolution
• The low-cost model is based on Southwest Airlines’ successful formula in the US
• It has been adopted and adapted by leading LCC players in Europe
• In Europe we now have a number of ‘Low Cost Carriers’, however some offer a completely different proposition to compared to others
• However, each carries has the same single goal; to operate at the lowest cost achievable
11
The Model and its Evolution
• The key components of the model are – Ticketless travel – now an IATA standard
– Internet booking – traditional carriers have followed suit
– No commission for travel agents – low cost GDS systems now allow for commissions
– Usage of secondary airports – Many LCC in Europe use main airports
– No seat allocation or connecting flights – Some carriers offer through ticketing
– No frills such as in-flight catering – some regional LCC’s carriers offer catering
– No business class and lounges – lounge access can be booked as an add on

LCC’s can reduce seasonality
• Charter traffic drives and distorts peak capacity requirements for both airports and hotels
• LCC’s can deliver passengers across the year with longer shoulder periods
• Efficient use of existing facilities & services
• Predictable and regular peak requirements

WHAT THE CARRIERS WANT
29
Ryanair
Ken O’Toole, Ryanair Director of Network Planning• “117 airports benefited from one or more new routes with Ryanair in
the last 12 months”
• “Cost, facilities, self handling and a government development fund, are all factors why we opened 5 new bases in Spain”
• “Since 2009, Greece has been on one end of 30 Ryanair routes compared to 136 in Spain and 111 in Italy”
• “Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Norway, all benefitted from the placement of Ryanair’s new aircraft in 2010”
30
easyJet
Alan McIntyre, easyJet Head of Network and Schedule Development• “For Winter 2012 we still have some aircraft unallocated…we are
interested in hearing route suggestions”
• “Some of the key information we rely on before making a decision to pursue a new route include; Regional tourism data, regional tourism attractions, durations of stay, details of local large corporate companies and businesses.”
• “easyJet's fleet growth is set to continue with 220 aircraft by end FY2013 (currently 196) – there are some major opportunities ahead for several destinations...”
• “53% of easyJet customers originate from outside of the UK. We aim to reach our target of 58% by 2015”
31
Market Characteristics
• Attractive destination market– Sun & beach
– Skiing
– City Break
• Potential for year round services
• A good mix of hotel availability– B&Bs through to 5 star hotels
• Affordable attractions and events throughout the calendar year
32
Support for New Services
33
Government
• Greece is perceived as a high cost market– Airport charges
– Taxes
• Greece needs to compete with other markets– traditional leisure markets – Spain, Portugal
– new markets – Morocco, Croatia
• Government needs to act in conjunction with all stakeholders to attract airlines
34
Government Support
Michael Cawley, Ryanair Deputy CEO
• "Airport costs and taxes are pricing countries out of competitive tourism . To get things moving again, taxes and airport charges have to drop, particularly when the competition [Italy and Spain] don't have it."
• “Spain has seen a €1,000 economic boost per passenger by discounting airport tax. This is the single best investment they can make.”
35
EU Regulations
• “Private Investor Test” – airports must act like a private investor
• Support must be relevant – linked to net growth in the number of passengers
transported
– aid must be applied to the opening of new routes or schedules increasing net passenger volumes (i.e. not merely traffic cannibalization)
– aid should decrease over time
– support should not exceed 50% of ‘total eligible costs’ in any one year
36
Tourism Authorities
• Airlines require support for cooperative marketing campaigns
• The airlines brand and reach can result in maximum exposure for the destination market
37
Hotels
• LCC passengers package their own trip
• Bookings are made later than those travelling on package holidays
38
Airport Facilities
• Point-to-point– Simple efficient facilities
– No transfer baggage or passenger
• “No frills” product – No alliances, code share or
business lounges
• Flexible– Support internet and self
check-in
• Encourage pax to proceed airside– Short walking distances
• Pre-boarding zones– Quick boarding process
• Short walking distance to aircraft– No air-bridges, or bussing
• Minimise wasted operational time– Minimise taxi, holding & ATC
delays

CLOSING REMARKS
43
Our view
• Low Cost carriers deliver passengers
• A low cost base is required for them to see the return they expect
• The burden of support should not fall on one party alone– Government
– Tourism
– Airports
– Hotels and local business
• The competition is benefiting, so should Greece
