Simon Bartkus | Blog lrytas.lt interview:" Lithuanians used to fly cheap "
Manage three airports in the country is generally a good idea. Should fly to Vilnius traditional airlines to Kaunas - low cost. Such new public transport aviation business vision expert in the field Bartkus Simon agrees, but points out that it is easily painted on paper, but the reality is much more complex. necktie
According to S. Bartkus, it is likely that after three or five years Lithuania will land planes from Georgia or Kazakhstan. And more slowly than before, but augsiantys in Vilnius and Tallinn Airport later this year or next year will destroy the gap between them and the Riga airport. necktie
- Although assured that your output is not related changes in the country's transport power, now maybe you can already tell, it really changes the Vilnius airport leadership did not encourage political winds?
- No, this is a coincidence. My determination has led to more and others to vacate their own tasks. My task was to restore and passenger traffic. It worked - in 2012 reached a new record for the number of passengers served.
The aim was to attract new airlines - already in 2011 reached a record high in Vilnius routes and the number of companies working in the air, which further improved in 2012. Vilnius is connected by direct flights with 44 other airports are 21 airline.
My next task was to nonairborne increasing necktie income Vilnius Airport. From 12 million. nonairborne LTL revenue in 2009 income in 2012 reached 18 million. and was one of the reasons that in 2012, the company returned to profitability.
- I think this a great idea. This model is used in Spain, Sweden, Norway, Finland and even Estonia. This not only allows for joint marketing, but would save administrative costs and jointly make purchases, easier to share the necessary equipment and tools.
In my opinion, the three regular flights Lithuania international airports serving too much of our market. However, this situation necktie change would take 10-15 years, a shorter period of time changes are painful. And if you will not be changed, then I think the overall operation of airports is the best possible solution.
When we talk about the rivalry, remembered Ryanair routes of transfer from Kaunas to Vilnius, but keep in mind that the airline necktie uses the most effective means of action and, ultimately, airports from which to fly. Airports have the task to create the most favorable conditions.
- I fully support the idea that airports should be different pricing while maintaining lower prices higher in Vilnius and Kaunas. Conditions can be changed, but the final decision to choose which airport operations, airline accepts.
Europe necktie is not a single airport, which avoids low-cost airlines. I saw this in all aviation events - there are only unable to create the conditions for a variety of reasons: "Slot" (the right to land or take off at a certain time - Ed. Note.) Lack of very high cost or the like.
Lufthansa transmits all its European flights low cost unit Germanwings, doing the same Air France, Finnair has already sold off the company low cost flights Flybe. Airports are required to make well, and companies have the choice of where they are coming down.
- VIA keiksnojamas were many that a major airline - low cost. European air giant companies are setting up such businesses. Their focus is on lower incomes to passengers? Business passengers between them there?
- Here we have a clear distinction between the concepts. The low cost is important for all airlines. Low cost companies accustom Europe to low-cost and no matter whether it's a business traveler or a leisure traveler, they all want to pay less.
However, business travelers are important schedules, frequency of flights, necktie ticket exchange opportunity, airports, which have flown, and other things. I believe that the future market will have low cost but to the business-oriented company.
- Airports Council International ACI Europe data, last year the European Union, passenger traffic grew by just 0.2 percent. Non-EU countries, growth was higher. Most successful in Turkey, Russia, Georgia, Moldova, Iceland necktie and airports. What does such changes?
The number of passengers at airports Lithuania percentage did not rise as sharply as the relative number of passengers grew larger. However, I believe that the next five years the annual number of passengers may increase by about 200 thousand. necktie passengers. This is not a small growth. How it will be distributed between airports, in my opinion, the country is not as important.
- The situation is constantly changing. I do not think that there are big holes. necktie Hole appeared to be a lack of flights to the Swedish capital Stockholm, but has announced that from 1 April. this route will fly Scandinavian Airlines.
Where I see a niche market? This is a
