OOC - These are closed talks between Apollina, Evil Woody Thoughts and Celtayoshi about various issues to do with an Apollinan Airline.

IC

Gentlemen (and/or Ladies), welcome to Apollina, I trust you had a pleasent journey and your accomodation is of good standard. At current the issues are thus; Air Celtayoshi has offered to fund the setting up of an Apollinan national airline, Evil Woody Airlines has been gven the go ahead to construct an eighteen gate terminal provided they can code share with the Apollinan airline, also Air Celtayoshi have expressed an interest in doing this code share.

Our questions are regarding the potential size of any new airline, and its International prospects of being able to allow passengers to travel to a wide variety of destinations, as there will be up 14 gates available in the second terminal, is this correct? As for the code share agreement, is there any way that Air Celtayoshi, Evil Woody Airlines and our national airline can code share together?

EDIT - OOC, spelling corrected, sorry

There will be fourteen gates in the terminal that will not be used by Evil Woody Airlines.

As regards international destinations for the Apollinan national airlines, the government of Evil Woody Thoughts will likely grant landing rights at several airports if it is requested; however, it most likely will not grant the right of cabotage. Few nations do. Access to markets will largely have to be negotiated by Apollina and possibly Celtayoshi on behalf of Apollina.

A three-way codeshare is entirely possible, and we are open to the idea of codesharing with Air Celtayoshi as well as the Apollinan national airline. There are several successful RL examples of codesharing alliances that involve far more than three airlines. All airlines involved in a codeshare will need to be willing to share ticket information, so if someone buys a ticket on, say EW 6703, and another carrier operates the flight, that carrier knows about the obligation to transport the passenger.

We forecast that, before long, demand for travel to and from Apollina will rival that of RL Honolulu, and the airport might even need to expand further soon.

OOC: I guess technically I'm not allowed in the talks because my nation's name was misspelled :D , no big deal though

OOC: EW-Evil Woody Thoughts, AC-Air Celtayoshi, ANA-Apollina National Airlines

Air Celtayoshi is willing to provide the funds to set up a national airline that will utilse the final 14 gates. This airline will have access to two of Celtayoshi's four main international airports. We will also move to request permission for a daily service to Evil Woody Thoughts form Apollina.

With regards codesharing, since the vast majority of countries can be reached direct from Celtayoshi we would only need a codeshare with regards for passangers flying to Apollina or Evil Woody Thoughts and then flying on. We would be happy to do the reverse also, connecting flights may be booked through EW and then operated by AC or ANA. Due to the vast number of destinations available through AC we would only code share a number of these, not all. For ANA we would be willing to codeshare all of its initial routes.

Does the Apollina Government wish to have us insert a clause allowing you to purchase the airline after X years for a price depending on growth, projected growth, profit and value of company?

Apollina would very much like the inclusion of a clause such as this. Looking at our projected GDP growth then perhaps six, eight or ten years could be the point at which Apollina is offered the chance to buy out Air Celtayoshi. We would prefer perhaps eight years, however if this is unacceptable then we are prepared to reconsider. If possible we wish this company to be named Apollina Airways.

OOC: Buying out Air Celtayoshi, nah, its state owned, we would only sell you Apollina Airlines

IC: We will include a clause to offer the company to the Apollina government after 8 years


got to go now, will post a more dignified response soon

OOC - Oops, sorry, that is what i meant, buying out Air Celtayoshi's shares in Apollinan Airways.
