28.11.2008
SkyEurope´s full year results impacted by record high oil prices 
despite significant unit cost reductions
•       Consolidated base network and rigorous cost control results in a reduced
cost per seat reduction excluding fuel of 12.2% in 2008 fully offsetting the
unit cost increase caused by record high fuel prices.  Increased fuel price
added EUR 26.6 million to our total costs and EUR 5.2 on a cost per seat basis
during the year;
•       Significant increase in aircraft and crew utilisation, with average
aircraft sectors per day increasing by 11.2% and crew utilisation increasing by
8%;
•       Continuous focus on cost controls pays off, administrative expenses
reduced by 19.5%(cost per seat reduced by 36.1%) and head count reduced from
926.5 to 696.5;
•       Despite a difficult operating and economic environment and new routes,
total passengers transported and total revenue increased by 13.6% by 10.5%
respectively;
•       Load factors down 8.1pp due to weakened economic conditions and fare
price increases implemented in light of the high oil prices;
•       Ancillary revenue, an area of continued focus,  increased by 110.4% in
2008 as a range of new ancillary revenue products have been introduced to our
portfolio (85.3% per passenger);
•       New routes begin to show signs of maturity, the per seat revenue
shortfall versus 2007 diminishing each quarter in 2008 (shortfall Q3:9.5%;
Q2:19.2%; Q1:14.3%).  Forward bookings for winter 2009 are showing strong year
over year improvements;
•       Problems with the credit card acquirer continued in Q4 resulting in low
cash balances. SkyEurope has been working to resolve this and have secured a new
credit card acquirer;
•       Capacity reduction program introduced cutting poor performing routes for
seasonally weak winter months.  Capacity will be reduced by approximately 19% in
the winter 2009 period;
•       SkyEurope was awarded as the best low-cost airline in Eastern Europe and
3rd best low-cost airline in Europe according to the largest worldwide airline
survey performed by SkyTrax;
•       SkyEurope commenced a strategic partnership with MyAir aimed at
extracting operating synergies including cross utilisation of aircraft capacity,
cross ticket sales, facilities sharing and resource pooling at airports;
