With spacious all-1st-Class seating, the SkyCat-220 could carry 420 passengers on the lower deck and 42 cars on the upper deck. Key points include:

Fast loading / unloading: ramps at each end provide rapid roll-on / roll-off operation for cars.

Point-to-point service: potentially replaces existing sea ferry services by virtue of ability to operate point-to-point – e.g. from the new Athens airport direct to the Aegean islands, as well as the many current ferry routes, or even on overland routes in countries with poor road infrastructure.

Low cost: allowing for increased turn-round time for loading, securing and unloading vehicles, and assuming optimum all-1st-Class seating with 80% load factor, a profitable operation could be run at a price tariff of $15 per 100km per pedestrian passenger and $25 per 100km per car passenger (car included).

Sample routes: assuming 20% F and 80% Y Class for a ferry service, and allowing First Class passengers to take their cars (at 3 pax per car average), the following prices would yield the operator a profit over these sample routes:
