  14. Direct effects Indirect effects Catalytic effects LCCs – Generators Of Regional Economic Prosperity Mainly jobs at airlines, handling & related aviation acitivities (as being roughly half oftotal job effects). Total on-site employment of regional airports between 850 – 1200. 1000 jobs created for every 1 million passengers through an airport. Regional airports support roughly 1200-1800 jobs within the regional or local economies. Studies have found regional airports to have comparable economic effects to several mid-size manufacturing plants. Mainly effects stemming from attraction and detention of inward investment and the stimulation of inbound tourism. Especially the enhancement of competitiveness to local economies as well as the attraction of business and leisure passengers leads to higher generation of incomes and employment.

  15. EasyJet’s direct operations con-tribute approximately £66 millionto local gross income levels, supporting a total of 1,770 jobsin the aviation sector and supply-chain companies. These levels of direct expen-diture and employment provide income and employment for others. Taking all these wider effects into account, EasyJet’s operations add £120 million to local incomes and support a total of 3,185 local jobs.

  16. Routes from London-Stansted launched in April 1998 and from Brussels-Charleroi in April 2001. Annual passengers of both routes account for roughly 250.000 visitors, 90% of which are non-French Stimulus by London route only is estimated to account for € 215m, only € 6,5m of which related to direct effects at the airport. A total of 2.800 new jobs is estimated to be related to this new route and it´s consequences. Prices of real estate are estimated to have risen by 25% between 1998. LCCs contribute to regional development and economic development, directly and indirectly. Source: Financial Times, Dec12, 2002 Catalytic Impacts Of LCCs Carcassonne

  43. The Challenge Incentives Airport LCC Passengers Tourism Organisation ? Guests Touristic Value Creation Tourism Industries

  44. Kärnten Werbung (legal entity, major shareholder State Government) provides certain incentives and support to LCCs and gets re-financed through „Fremdenverkehrsabgabe“ Tourist Fee to be paid by tourism industries to Local and State Government „Nächtigungstaxe“ Overnight Tax to be paid by hotels, B&Bs to Local and State Government Total Income: app. € 20 mio (est) Tax Financed Marketing

  45. Touristik-AG

  46. Regional „Airline“

  47. LCCs stimulate the demand but frequency and days of service are of paramount importance. Attractivity of destinations de-termines the balance of the traffic flow LCCs have very different business models …. More Challenges

  48. Incentives have to be based upon careful evaluation o follow the rules o stimulate Incoming Traffic o take into account the existing route portfolio o take into account the existing carrier-portfolio o „stretch“ the average stage length The Home Page of LCC is perfect to market touristic services (hotel, entertainment, Guided Tours etc) Catchments of LCC - airports may be influenced by other services …. More Challenges

  49. Agenda • LCCs in Europe • Opportunities for Cities and Regions • Risks for Cities and Regions • Conclusions Conclusions

  50. Airports, cities and regions don‘t have necessariy the same interests!! A strong and co-operative partnership between Low Cost Airline and tourism organisation/-industrie is pre-requisit for a significante stimulation of the touristic value creation. Know how and experience are key for a realistic evaluation of LCC-services. Key Success Factors
