Development of an Action Plan for inauguration of flights
Input
MKmetric November 2005
Socio-economy data (e.g. population, economic structure)
Consideration of urbanisation and land use,
infrastructure and motorization
Consideration of political constraints and
transport policy in all countries
Consideration of competing transport modes in all
countries
Data on the NUTS 3 level for EU and according to the
distance from EU with growing country agglomerations

Specific assumptions
MKmetric November 2005
• Set up of scenario definitions for ex ante analysis (forecast) socio-economy, according to workshop and regional partners
infrastructure update to 2004 including indications of regional partners
network assumptions according to schedule summer 2004 ex VXO-CPH
regionalisation incl. update for UK and split up of Møre og Romsdal area
• Forecast is for 2006 (perspective for inauguration of new routes)• Economic limitations for inaugurating a new route
annual demand > 50 tsd. “weighted” passengers (5000 for charter)
business pax are counted twice,
transfer pax count 50% when travelling for private reasons
for charter and low cost flights no transfer passengers are counted
for charter flights no business travellers are counted
no double count for business travellers on low cost flights

Output II
MKmetric November 2005
Analysis by airport: total number of passengers p.a., conditional aircraft movements, catchment and traffic information,technical and commercial key figures.
Analysis by route: new routes,total number of passengers p.a., structure of the demand,type and structure of service,catchment and sheaf of the route,market penetration figures.
Analysis by region: socio-economic data in total andrelative to the catchment,changes in accessibility by air transport,transport key figures.

Action Plans
____________________________________________________________________________________MKmetric GmbH November 2005
• description of the airport and the region incl. status quo catchment with socio-economic data
• for each feasible new routetotal demand by business / leisure, O&D / transfer passengers
route sheaf for transfer passengers route specific catchment
suggestions for aircraft / airline / schedule summary of relevant technical aspects • demand forecast for the airport incl. the new routes
• key figures concerning additional passenger & a/c mileage, fuel consumption, passenger hours saved
• improvement of accessibility
Action Plan Improvement
____________________________________________________________________________________MKmetric GmbH November 2005
• The Action Plans were presented at the Hannover workshop in 2004.
• The Action Plan issued for Hannover airport has been used as material for the latest ROUTES conference. A review meeting at Hannover will take place in 11/2005
• Numerous routes suggested within the project have been set into service.
• Various responses to the Action Plans lead to an improvement of this form of presenting results, enriched with additional information, to be used within the forthcoming EUROPLANE project, now called Implementation Folder
New Routes inaugurated
MKmetric November 2005
1 year ago, more than 90 routes were identified for 2006, 22 of them are or will be in service already 2005:

Consultation in Bremen
MKmetric November 2005
From 13 suggested routes just 1 is for scheduled service, while all other focus on holiday destinations.
Only 1 of the suggested holiday routes was implemented. In addition the tour operator owing Hapagfly, home base charter carrier at BRE, reorganised its network, meaning a serious reduction of holiday destinations ex BRE in 2006 (and from other airports in .de although high loads)
network carrier reduced their presence at Bremen (outsourcing of hub connections, or give up routes)
new answers have to be found to such challenges: development of options for new or modified services
Further Options for Routes
MKmetric November 2005
Implementation of suggested routes by LCC instead of charter or network carrier, with or without a variation of suggested airport: The suggested flights HAJ - RJK for charter, are actually run by Hapag-Lloyd Express (with medium sized a/c, up to 3 times a week)
New LC services to additional airports in cities already connected to a SEAPLANE airport ,like the new flights from Bremen to London Luton by easyJet
Implementation or take over of existing routes by low cost or regional carrier instead of network or charter carrier, with or without code-share / interlining tariffs, ...
New routes beyond given limit (50’000 pax) with small a/c ...
Thank you for your attention.
