Low Fare Airlines: 

Low Fare Airlines You get a low fare, but that’s all No food Cramped seats, “Cattle class” They drop you off 100 miles from your destination Little or no service Try to buy a ticket for next day travel, and compare it to the full service airlines

We can beat any train, any time: 

We can beat any train, any time We are at least twice as fast We get you door to door faster We deliver you the longest possible working day in London We give you free meals, healthy food options and free drinks We do not get subsidies

Why are we the fastest?: 

Why are we the fastest? Because we fly to London City and from other City Airports Because London City is the only airport IN London Because we only have 15 minutes check-in Because flying time is only 50 minutes Because London City has its own Underground Station (DLR) P.S.: An aircraft does not stop along the way to let people on and off

So you see...: 

So you see... Flying CAN be extremely fast & efficient

No, you don’t...: 

No, you don’t... Have the nice countryside scenery Have the quiet comfort of the Eurostar, but it takes twice as long to get to your destination Have to sit next to a person chatting in his mobile the whole trip Run the risk that there are engineering works on the tracks or roadworks

Yes you can...: 

Yes you can... Arrive in a safe and secure environment, even late at night Work on your laptop and read your reports Prepare for your presentation Read a paper or a book Sit comfortably (and nobody has to stand) Enjoy a meal But you better do it fast because you are at your destination before you know it

Cars: 

Cars Yes, I like driving when I have the time Complimentary to flying to get where you want to be

The environmental angle: 

The environmental angle How do you think electricity is made? An aircraft has a small noise “footprint”, a high speed train creates a disturbance all the way from its origin to its destination Population disturbed: 7% of people in Europe live around airports, 14% around rail tracks, 79% along roads Source: IATA

The environmental angle (2): 

The environmental angle (2) Todays aircraft consume about 3.5 ltr/100km, similar to small car, but 6 times the speed Air Transport produces 2% of C02 emissions, yet it supports 8% of global economic activity Power generation produces 39% of CO2, Road traffic 22% Source: IATA

Some more facts: 

Some more facts Air Transport pays entirely for its infrastructure Every air journey contributes 4.6 to 8.4 € Every rail journey is subsidised 2.4 to 7.4 € and costs the UK taxpayer 2.1 billion € annually High speed rail track costs 69 Million € per km Per passenger-kilometre, air transport uses less than 1% of the land required for the entire transport network in the EU Source: IATA

So yes,...: 

So yes,... Air Transport is here to stay to offer fast, time-sensitive and flexible travel solutions

No Train. No Gain: 

No Train. No Gain During October to December 2005 the overall on-time performance (defined as early to 15 minutes late) of scheduled airlines at the ten UK airports monitored fell by 2 per cent from 75 to 73 per cent, compared with the fourth quarter of 2004. (Source: CAA www.caa.co.uk) In 2005, Network Rail reported 83.5% (arrival within 5 mins) Network Rail also plans to reduce delays by a further three million passenger minutes by 2008-09, and reduce the number of broken rails by a further 8% over the next year Eurostar average punctuality was 86.3% in 2005 and record punctuality of 92% was achieved in Q1 2006 Does this affect your decision making? Can we put a price on punctuality? Time savings Punctuality: How unprofessional (and frustrating?) is it to be late for a meeting, regardless of the excuse?
