RYANAIR: «BACK TO STONE YEARS If someone asked me a few months ago, I could never have imagined that today I would be in the uncomfortable position to write the article you will read below: On the first day of the municipality taking Kos from the new Municipal Authority tried, bearing in mind that the low-cost airlines and tourism was the flag of the election campaign, to discuss with the Mayor and the Deputy Mayor for tourism what must do to achieve an island, the best agreement with Ryanair, Easyjet and the other low-cost airlines. On our first contacts I found a dilatory attitude and a neutral stance, which justify thinking that just took office, also received a dissolved municipality, lets show a little patience. Certainly the airlines do not care when we have here municipal elections or when it suits any municipality to start talks, they have a specific timetable for closing deals and destinations and to plan the flight schedule next year. When I saw passing precious time I started to become more pressing, asking if there has been some contact, or if I could not help using the very good relationships that I have developed with senior executives of Ryanair and the Easyjet, soon to reach a meeting with them. The answer of Alderman Tourism was concise and clear: We do not need any help, we are already in discussions with Ryanair ». Epanapaftika, thinking that unfairly worry. Besides, it is not possible to repeat the mistakes of past !!! He so another month, seeing in newspapers and tourist publications announced and much-advertised new Ryanair flights to other Greek destinations ... .. Kos was nowhere !!! Today I am able to know that due to the incredible negligence on the part of the Municipal Authority, lost most precious time. Now there can be no negotiation for the 2015 season, any discussion with Ryanair, is now for 2016. To understand all better: destinations from nowhere, now have very strong positions in the program of Ryanair ... ..! And we who were the pioneers, who after years of contacts and negotiations have access to the highest echelons of the company in Dublin, now we go back to the stone years ! RESULT: This is the program which has provided by Ryanair in the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) for the summer season 2015, which has not been announced yet nowhere and was first made public. Under this program, the drop provided to flights in comparison with last year already truncated, is around 50%. IE lost in a year, HALF THE FLIGHTS OF RYANAIR !!! And even worse, now that Ryanair will fly to Kos mainly only the months has large occupancy in July and August, ie exactly the period not need it because we already overcrowded !!!

KGS 12:50 15:05 STN In particular during summer 2014, Ryanair made 530 flights to Kos 80 500 arriving passengers (with 80% occupancy). Airline Mar 14 Apr 14 May 14 Jun 14 Jul 14 Aug 14 Sep 14 Oct 14 Nov 14 Total FR 0 40 49 72 98 118 83 65 5 530 At a rough estimate, according to the 2015 program, it is estimated that Ryanair will only make 276 flights to Kos. Airline MAR 15 APR 15 MAY 15 JUN 15 JUL 15 AUG 15 SEP 15 OCT 15 TOTAL FR 4 29 33 32 40 85 30 23 276 The very basic differences of this years program compared with last year are as follows: On the program were removed completely to be a key destinations such as Frankfurt (HHN), the Brussels (CRL) and Rome (CIA). The British destinations Leeds (LBA) and Liverpool (LPL) are only for August. Flights to London (STN) remain unchanged. The Italian destinations Bologna (BLQ), Pisa (PSA) and Bari (BRI) are only for August. Flights to Milan (BGY) remain unchanged Flights to Oslo (RYG) will only take place in July. CONCLUSION: For Ryanair, we are no longer a major destination. We discredits completely! (I do not want to use the term punish us). Removes very important destinations for Kos between them and the first airport from where he started flights to Kos (Frankfurt). Keeps only the very profitable flights and times. No discussion on domestic flights (Athens, Thessaloniki, etc.) At least for this year. Not only do they extend the season, such as the standing request that all tourism operators, but shrinks to the fullest. The economic damage mainly for SMEs of our island will be huge! The economic loss for the same municipality and the island will be huge! Legitimate question: Can someone from the Municipal Authority to explain to the citizens and businesses of the island: A. Because we have come to this point? B. Who is responsible for this tragic outcome? EPILOGUE: Unless we all work together hand in hand, municipality and institutions in a climate of mutual trust, if not put aside selfishness and arrogance, if you do not decide to use the knowledge and experience of people who are into things many years, if not all become a punch ...., we will continue to accept laminated slapping like this and will continue to chase the developments instead of creating!
