LYONAIRPORTS (LYS)
New routes and frequency possibilities and why these routes would work
| Short & Medium Haul Opportunities |
Most European Capital Cities in neighbour countries have been operated to LYS for many years and each of them generates 200 to 400 000 Passengers every year. Some more remote cities have had a shorter history with LYS and are still growing, just like Vienna (OS to add 47% capacity by Summer 2010) or Prague (50 000 Pax needing extra capacity). We still need fill in large gaps. |
| Athens & Greece |
Summer Charters bring every year 120 000 Pax to Greece whilst 50 000 fly sixth freedom routes via European Hubs. By Summer 2010, Heraklion will be scheduled twice weekly by Transavia but the Greek Capital city is still awaiting a year round scheduled operator to handle from 45 to 65 000 TOD 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, 90 000 Pax who still have to drive to LHR or BHX. Edinburgh has just been launched by easyJet in Winter 2009-10 but Geater Manchester deserve a much larger cpacity for its 110 000 TOD. Those UK destinations offer a wide segmentation with Business, Leisure (both ways) or language groups. |
| Germany |
The top economic partner of Rhône-Alpes shows 5 scheduled routes but the capital city, Berlin, remains isolated despite a 90 000 Pax potential. Businessmen & City Breakers are crying out for this route. |
| Nordic Countries |
| Gothenburg is the only city operated non stop between LYS & Scandinavia. 35 000 Annual Pax with very good yields. Copenhagen, 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. |
| Warsaw & Poland |
France is the first investor in Poland, a country from which a lot of migrants flooded 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 to 60 000 TOD, Krakow : 30 to 45 000 TOD |
| Budapest & Hungary |
| Once flown by a daily 50 seater, this route was axed last year as it was carrying a mere annual 25 000 Pax with very lousy schedules, whilst the minimum TOD potential for BUD stands between 50 to 60 000 annual TOD. |
| Longhaul Opportunities |
| Four Major Markets are not flown non stop owing to an old Paris centralisation habit and a robust offer 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 was slightly scorched by the 2008-09 economic crisis. The overall LYS-US Market amounts to nearly 300 000 Pax of which 48% travel for Business reasons. The profiles show 60% Pax originate from Europe. 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 80-100 000 Pax to hubs like, JFK, EWR, PHL, IAD or even ORD. New York on its own shows circa 25% of our US Traffic. |
| China |
China is a major Rhône-Alpes economic partner with 4 € Billion annual exchanges. 140 Rhône-Alpes corporations settled down 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 100 000 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 Beïjing & Shanghaï (or Hong Kong) 4 times a week for a start and generating from 90 to 110 000 Pax. Frequencies may then be gradually increased up to a daily service. |
| India |
560 € Million of commercial exchanges in 2008 (+24% vly) after a continuous average 10% annual growth. 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 reached 55 000 Pax in 2008, without any induction effect. which is expected to be very high, some Indian TOs already proposing Tours in our region. We are interested to start a 3 weekly rotation to either Delhi or Mumbaï generating 75 000 TOD. |
| 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, Thaïland, 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 25 000 Singapore TOD, 45 000 Bangkok, 17 000 Vietnam, Laos & Cambodia or 10 000 Kuala Lumpur. |
| 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 350 000 annual Far East Potential. Major interest in Dubaï, Abu Dhabi or Doha. |
