The Environment Liability

Twenty years ago the airlines faced a situation not a million miles different to the one they now face on the environment debate and the European ETS. The response of the industry in both cases, sadly, is at least a million miles different.

We’re So Special, Oh So Special. We’re Special…

The demand from US carrier CEOs for an airline-only government policy continues. You will remember that Richard Anderson from Delta started the ball rolling, insisting in a both-side-of-the-mouth, illogical rant that America’s airlines need all the help they can get, and that it should be funded by the tax-payers. Furthermore, any and all taxes that airlines or their passengers pay should be eliminated.

Farnborough, Boys and Toys

We have had trade shows and fairs for a long time. In Biblical times, Tyre made an industry out of hosting them. Lyon claims to have invented the cheque to facilitate trade at its cloth fairs. There is also a close connection between trade fairs and religious celebrations. The word feria comes from the Latin, meaning ‘holy day’.

CBRD is critical to ICAO’s Kyoto mandate. The Chicago Convention calls for uniform application by a country to the aircraft of all States.

Regulating Networks – Why Not Give Telecoms a Call?

Until about 1990 or so, the telecommunications industry and the aviation industry were very similar. Even the language was similar. There was one national carrier which ran a network that ended at terminals. There was a system of interlining, which allowed carriers to transfer passengers onto each other’s networks at an agreed tariff. The carriers were mostly state-owned monopolies, but in some countries domestic traffic and international traffic was provided by different state-owned entities.

China means Business (Aviation)

China is a huge potential market for business aviation. It only gets more important as the mature markets for business jets continue to flounder. But July 2012 raised the bar. China signalled its intent to be a supplier as well as a consumer of business aviation services.
