Schedules & Appendices

ANNEX

1. Indicate the number of airports which are used by commercial airlines in Greece.

2. In how many of these does Olympic Airways alone provide handling services?

3. Is it open to any other airline to provide handling services at any Greek airport for itself and any other airline? If not, are the obstacles legal or economic? If legal provide the text of the laws in question.

4. For the years 1982 and 1983 indicate the fixed and variable costs of providing handling services at Athens airport and at other Greek airports.

5. What provision is made, if any, for deducting the proportion of total costs attributable to providing handling services to Olympic Airways' own airplanes?

6. Pricelist 'A' showing Basic Charges for Passenger Aircraft, effective from 1 April 1984, shows charges in basic handling services for heavier aircraft averaging 50 % above the 1983 price. Have costs incurred in providing these services increased by a similar amount? What other reasons are there for these increases?

7. On the other hand, handling services for small and light aircraft show increases for the period from 1 April 1984 by an average of 35 %. Can you explain why the average increase for smaller and lighter aircraft is so much lower than that for heavier aircraft?

8. Can you explain why the proposed 50 % increase applied with effect from 1 January 1984 for some airlines and for others from 1 April 1984?
