  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE East Meadow, March 19, 2018 Lufthansa begins biometric boarding at LAX, paving the way for nationwide usage at airports − Biometric technologies simplify, de-stress and significantly speed up airplane boarding − During the initial trial, Lufthansa boarded an A380 in about 20 minutes − Following Lufthansa’s successful LAX trial, the Airline will introduce biometrics boarding at other U.S. airports nationwide Lufthansa Group, as part of its ongoing efforts to digitalize the travel world, has launched hassle- free, one-step biometric boarding utilizing facial recognition. This innovative pilot, enabled through a collaboration with Lufthansa Group’s longstanding IT partner, Amadeus, as well as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Los Angeles World Airports Authority (LAWA), and Vision Box, is now available at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). During initial trials, Lufthansa received very positive feedback from guests and boarded approximately 350 passengers onto an A380 in about 20 minutes. Here is how it works: • Self-boarding gates with sophisticated facial recognition cameras capture passengers’ facial images as they approach the device • This image is securely sent to the CBP database for real-time matching and verification • After a successful, instantaneous match within a few seconds, the system recognizes the passenger as “boarded” • The passenger no longer needs to show a boarding pass or passport at the gate “The increasing need for airlines, airports and authorities to offer faster and more convenient processes for guests to move through the airport creates a unique opportunity for the use of biometrics,” said Bjoern Becker, Senior Director, Product Management Ground and Digital Services for Lufthansa.

In exercise of its duty under section 36(1) of the Act, the CMA must decide: (a) whether arrangements are in progress or in contemplation which, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation; and (b) if so, whether the creation of that situation may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition (SLC) within any market or markets in the UK for goods or services. 3. In answering these two questions we are required to apply a ‘balance of probabilities’ threshold to our analysis.1 4. In this statement, we set out the main issues we are likely to consider in reaching our decision on the SLC question (paragraph 2(b) above), having had regard to the evidence available to us to date, including the evidence referred to in the CMA’s Phase 1 decision on SLC (the Phase 1 Decision).2 5.

    Course plan for Basics of Passenger Services Aku Pekkarinen & Iina Vitikainen Master’s thesis Degree Programme in Aviation Business 28 April 2020 Abstract 28 April 2020 Author(s) Aku Pekkarinen Iina Vitikainen Degree programme Master’s degree in Aviation Business Report/thesis title Number of pages Course plan for Basics of Passenger Services and appendix pages 119+14 Prior to the outbreak of Covid-19, the airline industry was growing at a high pace, and the industry has been struggling to find enough talented and motivated long-term employees to work in the field. It is likely that the same challenge still needs to be tackled once the indus- try gets back on its feet. Ground handling, a crucial part of the aviation industry, also strug- gles with this problem. There is a high need to find more motivated and skilled people to work especially in the passenger service sector, where the employees assist passengers throughout their journey at an airport: all the way from check-in to boarding and finally in arrival services upon the arrival. The strict rules and regulations of the industry, as well as demanding customer encounters in a hectic terminal atmosphere, demand these passen- ger service employees to have a great set of skills, competencies and qualifications. To decrease the impact of the talent gap, cooperation between educational institutions and the industry stakeholders plays a key role. That´s why a course plan for a course called Basics of Passenger services was created for Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences. The aim of the course is to provide bachelor students with the basic knowledge in passen- ger services to make it easier for them to start their internships or work life in airport envi- ronment, for example in ground handling companies.

Image of Landsat 8 satellite over North America. Source: AGI’s System Tool Kit. Facing page. In shallow waters surrounding the Tyuleniy Archipelago in the Caspian Sea, chunks of ice were the artists. The 3-meter-deep water makes the dark green vegetation on the sea bottom visible. The lines scratched in that vegetation were caused by ice chunks, pushed upward and downward by wind and currents, scouring the sea floor. 2019 Joint Agency Commercial Imagery Evaluation—Land Remote Sensing Satellite Compendium By Jon B.

  • "Geocaching" in the Ionosphere
    9/5/21, 2:32 PM uscranton (iPosterSessions - an aMuze! Interactive system) "Geocaching" in the Ionosphere Dr.-Ing. Robert Westphal DJ4FF Member of Deutscher Amateur Radio Club (DARC) PRESENTED AT: https://hamsci2021-uscranton.ipostersessions.com/Default.aspx?s=EA-94-A8-65-0F-B4-9E-48-AF-86-00-56-1C-28-35-64&pdfprint=true&guestview=t… 1/39 9/5/21, 2:32 PM uscranton (iPosterSessions - an aMuze! Interactive system) INTRODUCTION Malaysian Flight MH370, a modern airliner B777, disappeared seven years ago on 2014.03.08 seemingly without a trace. Authorities and experts from various fields (i.e. Inmarsat) did not prevail until today in finding the wreckage of the modern airliner and wide body aircraft Boeing B777-200ER. The ham radio community can contribute by using stored WSPR data since 2008 from the database www.wsprnet.org. The data for that night's tragedy as well as the SAR operations exist in addition to many air accidents (AF447, MH17,...). The doomed flight happened close to the peak of solar cycle 24 in April 2014. In 2021 we have detected several aircraft in Antarctica such as a B787-9, two Dassault Falcon 900EX, an Iljuschin IL- 76TD and a DC3C commuter airplane by conducting WSPR tests between DP0GVN as TX and ZL2005SWL as RX. Reference location data were used from Flightradar24. Some radio paths also succeeded from Australia (VK), EA8 and South America. This kind of research was not possible before the 2nd half of 2020 as there were not enough ADS-B receivers on parts of the shore line of Antarctica in the vicinity for airfields from Neumayer III station QAN, SANAEIV, QAT, QAO, QAP to Australian Davis Station QAD.
