What do airlines look for in a new route?
Direct services to China have to commercially sustainable – Chinese airlines are financially well structured and astute. There are no charity cases…..

• Typical Total Operating Costs =
c€200,000 per round trip between
Dublin and Beijing
• c€41.6m annual costs for a 4/week
operation
• Typical 250 seat A330 aircraft requires
revenues of €1600 per return trip to
simply cover production cost of each
seat
• Challenge for Ireland – show a carrier
where there is €45m of annual revenue
(passengers and cargo) to underpin a
business case

Are We Starting to Lose The Race ?
• Booming China-US market has seen significant direct service expansion in 2015, including secondary cities such as Seattle and San Jose
• Competition in Europe for Chinese service is intense. Smaller cities such as Budapest, Vienna and Minsk have seen service expansion this year, and Birmingham has secured a programme of inbound charter flights from Beijing
• Competition is focussed, well-s structured and adequately funded

Direct Services to China – Next Steps ? Strong Ireland Inc message, based on economics rather than sentiment, needs to be consistently
presented to Chinese stakeholders to support a potential new route
