Runway Incursions:1 Adequacy of Ground Movement Safety Systems and of Air Traffic Control (ATC) Procedures
RA N S P T O L R A T U R IBU L S U N P N UM A E O T I I T O National Transportation Safety Board A N N S A D FE R T Y B O A Washington, D.C. 20594 Safety Recommendation Date: July 6, 2000 In reply refer to: A-00-66 through -71 Honorable Jane F. Garvey Administrator Federal Aviation Administration Washington, D.C. 20591 In this letter, the National Transportation Safety Board recommends that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) take action to address the following safety issues related to runway incursions:1 adequacy of ground movement safety systems and of air traffic control (ATC) procedures. The Safety Board has issued numerous safety recommendations to the FAA since 1973 to prevent runway incursions and other airport surface incidents. On May 6, 1986, the Board issued a Special Investigation Report, titled “Runway Incursions at Controlled Airports in the United States.”2 In this report, the Board noted that the number of reported near-collision ground incidents had increased significantly and made several new safety recommendations to reduce the frequency of runway incursions. Several of these safety recommendations remained open when a fatal runway collision involving Eastern Airlines flight 111 (EAL111), a Boeing 727 (727), and N44UE, a Beechcraft King Air A100, occurred at Atlanta, Georgia, on January 18, 1990.3 As a result, the Board placed airport runway incursions on its 1990 Most Wanted Transportation Safety Improvements List, and the issue has 1 FAA Order 8020.11A, “Aircraft Accident and Incident Notification, Investigation and Reporting,” defines a runway incursion as “any occurrence at an airport involving an aircraft, vehicle, person, or object on the ground, that creates a collision hazard or results in a loss of separation with an aircraft taking off, intending to take off, landing or intending to land.” 2 Special Investigation Report NTSB/SIR-86/01. -
The Contribution of Global Alliances to Airlines' Environmental Performance
sustainability Article The Contribution of Global Alliances to Airlines’ Environmental Performance Belén Payán-Sánchez , Miguel Pérez-Valls * and José Antonio Plaza-Úbeda Economics and Business Department, University of Almería, Ctra. Sacramento s/n, La Cañada de San Urbano, 04120 Almería, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 June 2019; Accepted: 22 August 2019; Published: 24 August 2019 Abstract: Global alliances have traditionally been related to improvements in the economic and operational performances of companies, particularly in the airline industry. However, we still do not know the effect of the participation in this kind of multilateral agreement on the environmental performance of airlines. The main aim of this work is to analyze whether the alliance membership of airlines has an effect upon their environmental performance, and if so, whether or not the characteristics of the global alliance, as well as the business model of the airline, may influence this relation to a greater or lesser extent. The results of regression and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in a sample of 252 airlines (58 included in one of the three global alliances: Star Alliance, Oneworld, and SkyTeam) show a strong and inverse relationship between environmental performance and belonging to an alliance. The paper also shows empirical evidence of the influence of the business model of the airline on environmental performance. These results suggest important implications for managers facing challenges regarding sustainability. Keywords: global alliances; sustainability; environmental performance; airlines; aviation 1. Introduction The aviation sector is the fastest-growing source of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide [1]. Many authors and corporations, such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA), agree that environmental sustainability may be achieved through external pressure with the imposition and accomplishment of different policies, regulations, taxations and other fiscal instruments [2–6]. -

Effects of Airlines Alliances and Mergers on Fair Competition and Monopoly Prevention
ATConf/6-WP/391 International Civil Aviation Organization 14/2/13 WORKING PAPER WORLDWIDE AIR TRANSPORT CONFERENCE (ATCONF) SIXTH MEETING Montréal, 18 to 22 March 2013 Agenda Item 1: Global overview of trends and developments Agenda Item 1.1: Industry and regulatory developments Agenda Item 2: Examination of key issues and related regulatory framework Agenda Item 2.4: Fair competition EFFECTS OF AIRLINES ALLIANCES AND MERGERS ON FAIR COMPETITION AND MONOPOLY PREVENTION (Presented by Egypt) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This paper addresses one of the developments that have taken place in the field of air transportation, and that relates to the emergence of strong alliances and mergers between airlines. It studies alliances and mergers implications on air transport, and suggests the development of frameworks for their regulation. Action: The Conference is invited to agree to the recommendations presented in paragraph 6. References: ATConf/6 reference material is available at www.icao.int/meetings/atconf6. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Significant developments have occurred in the field of air transport. A large number of countries made remarkable progress in liberalizing international air transport regulations, and became involved in full market-access arrangements. At the same time, the airline industry underwent a major shift and saw the forging alliances and mergers between companies in order to consolidate their presence in a market environment characterized by strong competition. 1.2 Alliances between airlines have become a dominant feature in air transport, and a new global phenomenon unfolding relatively quickly through multiple collaborative business arrangements. Alliance agreements took different forms and included various elements of code-sharing, marketing and pricing cooperation, schedules coordination, and offices and airport facilities sharing. -
Runway to Recovery
Runway to Recovery The United States Framework for Airlines and Airports to Mitigate the Public Health Risks of Coronavirus Guidance Jointly Issued by the U.S. Departments of Transportation, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services Version 1.1 | December 2020 CONTENTS – 03 Overview 07 Principles 09 Air Transportation Stakeholder Roles and Responsibilities 11 A Risk-Based Approach for COVID-19 Outbreak Mitigation Planning 14 Public Health Risk Mitigation in the Passenger Air Transportation System 49 Future Areas of Research and Evaluation for Public Health Risk Mitigations 51 Implementation Challenges Specific to International Travel 53 Appendix A: Key Partners and Decision-Makers OVERVIEW A safe, secure, efficient, and resilient air transportation system is essential to our Nation’s physical, economic, and social health. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) public health emergency has demonstrated that protecting public health in the air transportation system is just as critical as aviation safety and security to the confidence of the flying public. Government, aviation, and public health leaders have been working together—and must continue to do so—to meaningfully reduce the public health risk and restore passenger, aviation workforce (including aircrew), and public confidence in air travel. The U.S. Government continues to assess the evolving situation and the effectiveness of actions and recommendations implemented to date. This updated guidance reflects this continual assessment and updated information. Although there are some updates and adjustments throughout, the key additions and changes in this document include new information on: » Passenger and Aviation Workforce Education » Contact Tracing » Mask Use, specifically the need to accommodate those who cannot wear masks » Passenger Testing This document provides the U.S. -
National Transportation Safety Board
National Transportation Safety Board Airport Runway Accidents, Serious Incidents, Recommendations, and Statistics Deadliest Runway Accidents ● Tenerife, Canary Islands, March 27, 1977 (583 fatalities). The world’s deadliest runway accident occurred on March 27, 1977, when Pan Am (PAA) flight 1736, a Boeing 747, and KLM4805, a Boeing 747, collided on runway 12 at Tenerife, Canary Islands, killing 583 passengers and crew. KLM4805 departed runway 12 without a takeoff clearance colliding with PAA1736 that was taxiing on the same runway during instrument meteorological conditions. The Spanish government determined the cause was: “The KLM aircraft had taken off without take-off clearance, in the absolute conviction that this clearance had been obtained, which was the result of a misunderstanding between the tower and the KLM aircraft. This misunderstanding had arisen from the mutual use of usual terminology which, however, gave rise to misinterpretation. In combination with a number of other coinciding circumstances, the premature take-off of the KLM aircraft resulted in a collision with the Pan Am aircraft, because the latter was still on the runway since it had missed the correct intersection.” ● Lexington, Kentucky, August 27, 2006 (49 fatalities). The deadliest runway accident in the United States occurred on August 27, 2006, at about 0606 eastern daylight time when Comair flight 5191, a Bombardier CL-600-2B19, N431CA, crashed during takeoff from Blue Grass Airport, Lexington, Kentucky. The flight crew was instructed to take off from runway 22 but instead lined up the airplane on runway 26 and began the takeoff roll. The airplane ran off the end of the runway and impacted the airport perimeter fence, trees, and terrain. -
