Lyon Airport (LYS)
New routes and frequency possibilities and why these routes would work
| Longhaul Opportunities |
Four major markets are not flown non-stop due to a traditional focus on hubbing through Paris and a robust route offering to all major European hubs. Experience shows that, once launched, a strong induction effect multiplies by 2 to 3, the initial tracked potentials. |
| USA |
The Rhône-Alpes' #4 economic partner. The overall LYS-US Market amounts to 300,000 pax of which 48% travel for business reasons. The profiles show 60% pax originate at the European end. We are looking preferably for a North Eastern US gateway offering connections to the rest of the country. A daily operation will generate an average 100,000 pax to hubs like JFK, EWR, PHL, IAD or even ORD. New York on its own has approximately 25% of our US Traffic. |
| Canada |
YUL is underserved with just 4 weekly flights during summer. Strong annual market with ethnic, biz & leisure traffic from both sides. 40,000 pax carried in 2010 + 6th Freedom generate over 100,000 pax. |
| China |
China is a major economic partner for Rhône-Alpes with €4 billion annual exchanges. 140 Rhône-Alpes corporations have settled in China, 15 Chinese in the Rhône-Alpes and this dynamism led Chinese authorities to open a General Consulate in Lyon. The current market is 110,000 pax prior to any induction effect. Volumes have been multiplied by 3 in the last 5 years with an average annual growth of 31%. We are looking for a tagged service operating to Beijing & Shanghai or Hong Kong generating from 90,000 to 110,000 pax. |
| India |
The Rhône-Alpes generate 19% of India-France exchanges. €560 million of commercial exchanges in 2010. 26 regional corporations settled in India. Traffic flows have been multiplied by 2.5 in the last 5 years at an annual average growth rate of 26% and now reach 60,000 prior to any induction effect, which is expected to be very high. Some Indian TOs already propose Tours in our region. We are interested to start a service to either Delhi or Mumbai generating a rough 90,000 pax. |
| South East Asia |
The Rhône-Alpes host a community of 220,000 residents originating from Far East Countries. Owing to the variety of countries concerned (Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos etc…), a major hub in South East Asia would enable to address this VFR Market on top of strong Business & Leisure flows. As an indication, we already have an annual traffic of 30,000 Singapore, 52,000 Bangkok, 17,000 Vietnam, Laos & Cambodia or 15,000 Kuala Lumpur, excluding any induction or onward connections. |
| Gulf Area |
| We are looking for a gateway in the Gulf area with a solid connecting network to address an annual 60,000 Pax in the Gulf area plus the 400,000 annual Far East potential. Major interest in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Doha. |
| Short & Medium Haul Opportunities |
Most European capital cities in neighbour countries have been served from LYS for many years and each of them generates between 200,000 and 400,000 passengers annually. Some more remote cities have had a shorter history with LYS and are still growing, such as Vienna or Prague, but we still need fill in large gaps. |
| Athens & Greece |
Summer charters every year bring 120,000 pax to Greece whilst 50,000 fly sixth freedom routes via European Hubs. Heraklion has been served since 2010 (twice weekly) by Transavia, but the Greek capital city is still awaiting a year-round scheduled operator to handle from 60,000 to 90,000 per annum, depending on aircraft & frequency. |
| UK |
The highest market potential shows a large offer to London (LHR, STN & LGW) but nowhere else further West. Cardiff or Bristol (served only for ski season) are markets of 90,000 pax who currently have to drive to LHR or BHX. Edinburgh has been launched by easyJet in Winter 2009-10, but Greater Manchester deserve a much larger capacity for its 110,000 TOD. These UK destinations offer a wide segmentation with business, leisure (both ways) or language groups. |
| Germany |
|
| Nordic Countries |
Gothenburg is the only city operated non stop between LYS & Scandinavia. 35 000 Annual Pax with very good yields.  , Stockholm or Helsinki, all of these capital cities would assuredly generate a much larger traffic with a potential of 50-60 000 TOD each. On top of Business travel, leisure flows are guaranteed both directions. |
| Poland |
France is the largest investor in Poland, a country from which a large number of migrants arrived into France in the early 20th century. The 3rd & 4th generations are now completely integrated in all levels of the French community. High business flows expected as well as leisure & huge VFR. Warsaw : 40,000-60 000 TOD, Krakow : 30,000-45 000 TOD |
| Budapest & Hungary |
Previously served daily with a 50-seater, this route was axed in 2009 as it was carrying a mere annual 25,000 pax with poor schedules, whilst the minimum TOD potential for BUD stands between 50,000 to 60,000 annually. |
