Ryanair proposes plan to rescue Greek tourism and aviation

Ryanair, Europe’s only ultra-low cost carrier (ULCC), has presented a Greek tourism rescue plan to the Transport Minister Kostas Chatzidakis which could see Ryanair grow its Greek traffic to 10m passengers p.a. by 2016, on the day Ryanair opened its 1st Greek base (and 57th in total) at Chania.

Ryanair has carried over 2m passengers to/from Greece in less than 3 years since its first flight arrived to Kos from Frankfurt Hahn in May 2010. Ryanair’s summer 2013 schedule will offer 85 Greek routes from 10 airports (including 2 new airports at Kalamata and Zakynthos), delivering over 1.4m passengers p.a. and supporting 1,400* Greek jobs.

Unfortunately, Athens continues to miss out on Ryanair’s traffic growth and the tourism jobs it brings because of the airport operator’s refusal to engage with Ryanair, at a time when Athens’ passenger traffic has fallen by 22%, from 16.4m in 2008 to just 12.8m in 2012, its lowest figure in a decade. Ryanair could deliver up to 4m passengers p.a. if a realistic low-cost deal were made available at Athens Airport, with a further 2m passengers at Thessaloniki and 4m passengers across Ryanair’s 10 other Greek airports.

To celebrate our biggest-ever Greek summer schedule, Ryanair is launching a 100,000 seat sale across its entire European network, with prices starting from just €15.99 for travel in May and June, which are available for booking until midnight (24:00hrs) Mon (29 Apr).

In Athens, Ryanair’s Michael Cawley said:

CONTINUES BELOW


“In 2013, Ryanair will carry over 1.4m passengers through Greek airports, sustaining 1,400* jobs and underlining Ryanair’s commitment to Greece’s tourism industry. Today, Ryanair presented its Greek rescue plan, which could deliver over 10m passengers and €4.5bn tourism revenue p.a. by 2016 and support 10,000* Greek jobs.

Tourism is one of the few industries that can quickly provide the economic boost that Greece so badly needs with new jobs and high-spending international tourists. Ryanair has carried over 2m passengers to/from Greece with these passengers saving over €140m by switching to Ryanair’s low fares. However, while our 10 Greek airports continue to grow, traffic at Athens continues to decline as it misses out on Ryanair’s traffic and tourism jobs growth, as well as Ryanair’s low fares, while its management refuses to engage with Ryanair.

To celebrate the launch of our biggest-ever Greek summer schedule, the opening of our first Greek base at Chania, and the launch of two new Greek airports, at Kalamata and Zakynthos, we are releasing a 100,000 seat sale with fares starting from €15.99 for travel across Europe in May and June, which are available for booking until midnight Monday (29 Apr). Since seats at these crazy low prices will be snapped up quickly, we urge passengers to book them immediately on http://www.ryanair.com.”

Ryanair – Athens Airport clash over decreases in fees and taxes

Low cost airline Ryanair promised to bring 10 million tourists to Greece within the next three years, should Athens airport “Eleftherios Venizelos” reduce taxes and fees. The intentions and promises were table on Tuesday by deputy CEO and director of Ryanair business operation manager Michael Cawley during a press conference.

Ryanair asked Elfetherios Venizelos to decrease the tax from current 12 euro per passenger down to 5 euro and bring it down to zero in other, peripheral airports.

Cawley described the tax policy of Athens International Airport as the “biggest problem for the tourism growth in the Greek capital, as it remains “very expensive and uncompetitive with other European countries.” He also expressed fears that the upcoming privatizations in regional airports in Greece would lead to charge increases and make them uncompetitive too.

Ryanair’s promise is to bring four million tourists in Athens, two million in Thessaloniki and four million in the rest of Greece within the next three years. The low cost airline calculated that these 10 million tourists would translate into 4.5 billion revenues for the Greek tourism sector and 10,000 new jobs.

In a calculation made by the deputy chief executive of Ryanair, these arrivals translated into a tourist currency EUR 4.5 billion and 10,000 new jobs.

Michael Cawley noted that Ryanair will present this plan to Greek development minister.

AIA rejects Ryanair proposal

The answer from Athens International Airport came indeed very quickly. In a short statement it rejected the Ryanair proposals for tax and fee decrease saying:

“AIA has chosen to actively support the airlines investing in ongoing, long-term presence, aiming at development.

This business plan is not conform with the practices of Ryanair, that follows a policy of growth through regional airports, where it does not invest in long-terms. This practice, particularly in smaller markets, like the Greek one, leads to “cannibalization” of existing drive with direct negative effects on existing companies, which have invested in permanent presence.

Athens airport operates on a particular business model, like all international metropolitan airports, based on developing and maintaining long term relationships with carriers,” the statement said.

Will Greek development minister Kostis Hatzidakis take the risk and accept Ryanair proposals? It remains to be seen in near or far future.

Въз основа на този факт със сигурност може да се твърди следното:

1. Летищните такси в Гърция (и Солун) зависят и се регулират от правителството на Гърция тъй като Ryan се обръща към правителството за премахването им, което говори за това че те са държавни, но това не е толкова важен факт. Дори и да не са държавни не е фатално.
2. Таксите са задължителни тъй като Ryan не могат да ги избегнат.
3. Ryan не се интересуват от никава реклама която се заплаща въз основа на летищните такси, ако има въобще такава. Те са сигурни че много по добре ще се справят сами ако няма летищни такси (не им трябва никаква реклама за тези пари които плащат за летищните такси)
4. Ryan обещават че ще доведат 2 млн. повече туристи/пътници в Солун ако се премахнат таксите там. Което ще рече че те не виждат никаква файда от таксите в Солун и дават да се разбере че ако Гърция иска повече туристи трябва да премахне таксите, а не да използва фондове за тази цел.
5. Ryan не искат да плащат такси в Солун както го искат някои хора на форума.
6. Ако Ryan бяха успели да псотигнат исканията си, то easy щеще да поиска същото и другите авиокомпании също, което ще рече че никаква авиакомпания не иска да плаща летищни такси в Солун за разлика от някои хора.
7. Въз основа на това може със сигурност да се твърди че на Ryan им е много по изгодно в Пловдив отколкото в Солун

Предлагам повече не се споменава за такса 92 евро в Солун, за да не се въвеждат хората в заблуда.

P.S. Може би вече имам по голямо право да попитам за летателен апарат със седемнадесет букви. Обаче не го правя. Просто не ми е приятно да слизам на това ниво.

Поздрави.

Е,как да се оплачат за Пловдив ,като знаят,че летището няма никакви възможности да участва в определянето на таксите.Даже такса "ШУМ",която по условие трябва да постъпва в местните общини за компенсация на живущите, или коствено чрез мероприятия за намалянето му,отиват в М.Т. А,за България знаят много неща,включително как се арестуват самолетите им.
