Background
LEGAL BACKGROUND
easyJet owes its existence to the development of ‘open skies’ in Europe. Before 1987 European air travel was effectively carved up by the national flag-carriers which considered the air routes between major European cities to be their own permanent fiefdoms.
Under the old regime flying schedules, fares and even the number of passengers that each national airline could carry were negotiated between governments in highly uncompetitive ‘bilateral’ agreements. Competition from other airlines was almost unheard of. It is no coincidence that the concept of air travel as the preserve of the rich and famous is a hangover partly from this era.
That was all changed when the European Commission introduced its three-phase ten-year reform process in 1987. Today any airline holding a valid Air Operators Certificate in the European Union cannot be prevented from operating on any route within the European Union, including flights within another country.

THE BIRTH OF EASYJET
easyJet started in March 1995 with low-cost flights from London’s Luton airport to Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland supported by an advertising campaign “Making flying as affordable as a pair of jeans - £29 one way”. After adding another route to Aberdeen (also in Scotland), easyJet began its first international service to Amsterdam. Routes to Nice and Barcelona were added before the end on 1996.
In April 1997 easyJet launched its website, easyJet.com to provide information about the airline and in the following year to take online bookings. This has been an enormous success. Now nearly 90% of all passenger bookings are made online.
In 1995, the first operating year, easyJet carried 30,000 passengers. In 2001, the passenger numbers had increased to 7,664,000 giving the company £40,100,000 profit on a revenue of nearly £357million.
Now easyJet has purchased Go with 4,270,000 passengers. This will give easyJet a total of nearly 12million passengers per year.

WHO IS BEHIND EASYJET?
easyJet was started by a young 28 year-old entrepreneur. It operates in a relaxed ‘no ties’, informal, paperless office. But this is not a ‘rags-to-riches’ story. easyJet was founded by Stelios Haji-Ioannou, the son of a family of Cypriot origin who own Troodos shipping. Stelios, whose first venture was Stelmar Tankers which operates 36 tankers, follows in the tradition of Greek shipping magnates like Aristotle Onassis.
easyJet is largely owned by members of the Haji-Ioannou family. They are reported to be planning to sell shares in the company to raises £100 million but this will still leave them with a controlling interest in the company.

Business characteristics
The success of easyJet is based on some basic business characteristics which save costs, whilst continuing to appeal to the flying public.
• The use of the internet for online booking and issuing of travel vouchers saves enormous fees normally paid to travel agents. The easyJet.com web site is open for business 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
• easyJet sells one-price, one-way tickets, giving passengers greater flexibility, not forcing them to spend a ‘Saturday night away’ in order to get a discount. For an administrative charge of €16 (£10) passengers can change their bookings without any further penalty.
• easyJet focus on the ‘short-haul’ travel business and only use the 149 seat Boeing 737 aircraft. This specialisation maximises the utilisation of this fleet, whilst reducing maintenance costs.
• easyJet uses smaller, less congested airports where landing charges are lower and turnaround times are faster.
• easyJet does not offer free in-flight food or drinks. Snack food and drinks can be bought before or during the flight.

The future?
7. What is the future for short-haul air traffic?
8. Is there a place for the traditional government-backed flag-carriers? 9. Is the easyJet low-cost model going to spread world wide? What do you think?

[VanWilder]

here in europe, the low price airlines like easyjet and so are very liked. they are growing every year. because its even cheaper to fly from switzerland to london than a trainticket here in switzerland for a distance like 150km.

they are saying they will grow and grow more n more. within a few year they want to have lowprice flight for oversea-flights.

and for example, the irish ryanair is planning free flight!!!! they want the the hotels and airports will pay the tickets and they will carry then all people to them......

8. Is there a place for the traditional government-backed flag-carriers?

The question is asking that with the successes that discount airlines like easyJet have shown, is there still a place in the market for airlines that are sponsored by the government.
