While the European Commission’s new, eagerly awaited, proposed aviation strategy package is yet to be tabled at the European Council – the Council meets on 2 December – its content is already well known. Drafts of the Communication have been circulating for some weeks. The various industry players have been busy getting their press releases in early, bemoaning that the package does not go far enough/goes too far and exhorting further/less work, depending on which side of their particular point of concern the document falls down.

Low Cost ANSP Seeks Like-Minded Airline for Meaningful Relationship
You may have noticed that from time-to-time we are critical of the outdated regulatory structure with which the aviation industry is cursed. Unsurprisingly, the legacy carriers – legacy, as in a gift in a will – rather like it, most noticeably for its focus on equality of outcome not of opportunity. However, despite their best efforts to preserve this gold mine, even they have to admit that the game has changed in the last few years.

NBAA 2015: Still Waters Are Running Deep
At this year´s just-gone NBAA show, held in Las Vegas, there were over 27,000 attendees. That makes it one of the best-attended on record, still slightly shy of the crowds assembled in the boom-time of 2006 to 2008, but maintaining the recovery in numbers over the last few years. That bears some correlation to the fortunes of the business aviation industry, with its benchmark index of new orders and deliveries edging up recently. The new normal is nowhere near 2007, but underlying the aggregate picture, there were also a number of exciting developments coming out at the show.

An Airline Provided Guided Tour of the New Travel Package Directive
Once upon a time, flying was glamorous, done by men in hats and women in twin sets. The airlines were behemoths, as well as vendors, of class. Then they started commoditising their product. Now, it is sold on the internet, in a fiercely competitive market. But no-one seems to have told the customer complaints department of the change.
