If that's true then it seems very ambitious to me. There is low cost competition on all their Manston routes from one of the bigger airports, namely STN and LGW, no doubt Ryanair and easyJet will be flooding the market with cheap tickets and their already better frequencies. We'll see anyway...

I suppose though that punters in the Kent regions won't have to deal with the M25 or M11 to get to STN and M1 for LTN. We'll soon see but no doubt MOL will be offering his normal 1p flights soon. Mind you, how long can he afford such offers. His loads are well down. Even the -300's are going out half empty......

Planestation buys EUjet stake, shares take off
LONDON, May 19 (Reuters) - UK airport operator Planestation Group PLC has bought a 30 percent stake in Irish airline EUjet, the anchor airline for its international airport in southern England, Planestation said on Wednesday.
The acquisition led Planestation shares to rise six percent to 5.00 pence in morning trade, having earlier hit a 12-day high at 5.13 pence. The company has a current stock market value of around 100 million pounds ($177 million).
Planestation is buying the stake for two million pounds.
Low-cost airline EUjet will start European flights from Planestation's Manston airport in the southern English region of Kent in September, following in the footsteps of low-cost operators EasyJet (LSE: EZJ.L - news) and Ryanair .
"The important part is that we are working together. Because we own the airport, we wanted a flagship airline that uses it as a base," Planestation's Corporate Director Christopher Foster told Reuters. "This will help put Manston on the map."
The acquisition makes Planestation the second largest stakeholder in EUjet, after the airline's Chief Executive P J McGoldrick, formerly head of Ryanair (Dublin: RYA.I - news) .

EU Jet
Irish airline EUjet today announced details of a new low fares scheduled service which will commence in September from its base at Shannon Airport and from its UK hub at Kent International Airport.
The airline will initially operate three return flights per day between Dublin and Shannon and weekend scheduled services from Shannon to Faro, Malaga, Murcia and to Geneva during the ski season.
EUjet will also operate daily services from Shannon to Kent via Dublin. Later this week the company plans to announce additional routes from its Kent hub.
The announcement was made today by EUjet chief executive PJ McGoldrick at a reception in Shannon Airport attended by Transport Minister Seamus Brennan and business and community leaders.
"This is a very exciting development for EUjet. The launch of our new service from Shannon will give consumers in the region access to a range of business and leisure destinations at low and very competitively priced fares. It will also create great access to the Mid/South West region," said McGoldrick.
"The existing schedule on the Dublin-Shannon route has meant that it has been impossible for people to fly to Dublin, or from Dublin to Shannon, spend a productive day there, and return again by air the same day. The launch of the new service should be good for business and good for the local economy in this region," he added.
EUjet, which is based at Shannon, was established in May 2003 and over the last year has gradually built up its operations. The airline currently employs over 130 people and it expects this to increase to 240 by the end of the current year, 50pc of whom will be Shannon based.

Well, well, well, a local council investing in an airline. That will be controversial. If EU Jet succeed it will be seen as a great investmnet by Kent. If they fail if will be seen as an illegal subsidy. But either way it begs the question as to why it was necessary. If the business plan is so good why does the money of council tax payers need to be pumped into it?
It is also worth contrasting the start-up performance of Thomson Fly at Coventry ( far more modest even though it is part of the largest travel company in the world) with the plans of EUJet. Starting in the autumn does not seem like a good idea. Cash flow is always worse in the winter.
It certainly seems as if this space will be worth watching.

Barcardi walla, the interviews were carried out in Ramsgate last week, for various Manston positions. Try contacting personel direct at Shannon. The contact is a very nice lady by the name of Carole Foley. Hope this helps

Just been announced on local news that KCC's contribution for share holding is £100.000, out of KCC's investment fund, money is invested to promote development and jobs in the Thanet area.
15 flights a day on weekdays with F100s. That's 1500 seats in, 1500 out per day. They will need something like 70% load factor to break even, say 1000 people per day. In autumn and winter, in a sparsely populated part of the UK with a fairly low propensity to travel, that sounds optimistic for a start-up with no public profile at present.
I hope I'm wrong, but I'll give them 9 months, unless that is, they've got backers with huge pockets or have some brilliant tricks up their sleeve.....

I find it very odd that EU jet have not scheduled any possibilities on most of the planned routes for day round trip passengers. Dublin might be a possibility but obvious ones like GLA and EDI are impossible. This will exclude the businees element form its customer base. As Easy and Ryan have found scheduling to get the businness element, particularly at short notice is a vital part of their yield management practices.
I strongly suspect that EU would be far better off getting a small number of routes right to start with ( as Easy did) rather than start so many routes. It all looks rather high risk. But they have presumably calculated that flying all those F100's will be better than not flying them. We shall see.
