12. 12 The industry sectors we work within think we are fat, lazy monopolies And worse, And policy makers mostly sympathise with them “Airport companies exist for the sole purpose of extracting money from airlines and the public – profit for shareholders above all else..... The rampant greed wouldn’t be so bad if it were at least accompanied by some kind of ‘pleasantness’..... (instead of) haughty demands – all perfectly legal of course – from the unassailable position of the arrogant monopolist.” Rob Neill – Pacific Wings Editor August 2009

15. 15 Good, better, best choices for everything we sell End-to-end airport service experience highly managed and consistently outstanding Uniquely kiwi and uniquely regional branding evident Freight forwarding facilitation needs to be much more competitive with modal alternatives (e.g. fast shipping) Product – lots of ways to improve

16. 16 Relentless growth in per pax aero charges needs to stop Good, better, best price choices for differentiated service offerings need to be available Airports can work to reduce the end-to-end costs that airlines, trading businesses and travellers incur Price – it’s not just about aero charges

18. 18 Keep 3 carriers on the key domestic routes and grow regional services Become more influential in tourism industry policy settings Widen the central Government tourism promotion marketing mix to incorporate air services development funding support Get airline costs in relation to airports tracking downward Deliver best-in-class, uniquely-Kiwi service experiences to all travellers at our facilities Build a seamless nation-wide and international air freight proposition that gets tonnage onto a double digit growth trajectory Sustainably grow passenger volumes at more than 2x GDP growth Some outcomes to target
