ELFAA member airlines carried over 183 million passengers over the past 12 months July 2010 – June 2011. The low fares share of intra‐Europe scheduled point to point traffic is currently 43% and is forecast to grow to 60% by 20201. Financial protection against airline failure A report by consultants Steer Davies Gleave on behalf of the European Commission2 found that, of the over 750 million air passengers p.a. in Europe, only 0.07% were affected by airline failure in the ten years 2000‐2010. Of these, only 12% (0.00084% of total) were away from home at the time of the failure. ELFAA therefore considers that any inclusion of airline “seat only” sales in the ATOL scheme, would be massively disproportionate. Besides distorting competition with other modes, it would distort competition between airlines in that customers of financially strong airlines would cross‐subsidise those of the minority of customers, who favour weaker competitors.

  • ANDERTON Music Festival Capitalism
    1 Music Festival Capitalism Chris Anderton Abstract: This chapter adds to a growing subfield of music festival studies by examining the business practices and cultures of the commercial outdoor sector, with a particular focus on rock, pop and dance music events. The events of this sector require substantial financial and other capital in order to be staged and achieve success, yet the market is highly volatile, with relatively few festivals managing to attain longevity. It is argued that these events must balance their commercial needs with the socio-cultural expectations of their audiences for hedonistic, carnivalesque experiences that draw on countercultural understanding of festival culture (the countercultural carnivalesque). This balancing act has come into increased focus as corporate promoters, brand sponsors and venture capitalists have sought to dominate the market in the neoliberal era of late capitalism. The chapter examines the riskiness and volatility of the sector before examining contemporary economic strategies for risk management and audience development, and critiques of these corporatizing and mainstreaming processes. Keywords: music festival; carnivalesque; counterculture; risk management; cool capitalism A popular music festival may be defined as a live event consisting of multiple musical performances, held over one or more days (Shuker, 2017, 131), though the connotations of 2 the word “festival” extend much further than this, as I will discuss below. For the purposes of this chapter, “popular music” is conceived as music that is produced by contemporary artists, has commercial appeal, and does not rely on public subsidies to exist, hence typically ranges from rock and pop through to rap and electronic dance music, but excludes most classical music and opera (Connolly and Krueger 2006, 667).

    ESSENTIAL READING FOR TRAVEL INSURANCE INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS WWW.ITIJ.CO.UK JANUARY 2011 • ISSUE 120 Winter claims costs revealed The latest analysis from one UK-based travel insurance company has revealed that the average cost of a winter sports claim in 2009/10 was £478. Sarah Watson has more details New claims data from online company insurewithease shows that Eastern Europe has sloped in just behind Austria and Switzerland as the fi fth most popular winter sports destination. France is still the hot favourite for skiing, with 47 per cent of winter sports claims being made by people who headed for the French slopes for some vin chaud. Those looking for skiing or snowboarding holidays are still willing to travel long-haul to reach their destinations, with North America racking up the second highest number of claims for the company at 15 per cent. Of concern for insurers will be the generally higher claims costs seen from tourists who received treatment in the US – it only takes a small number of travellers to make claims from expensive hospitals in desirable ski resorts for the total amount paid by the insurer to reach high fi gures. When it comes to the types of winter sports claims seen by the insurer, 55 per cent are for medical expenses, with fractures and broken bones accounting for 15 per cent of all medical claims.
