[1] The Museum took a small display and some gift shop items to the show as in the past. The weekend was a success with many aircraft in attendance, including one all the way from Ontario. The fly in is a very laid back affair and everyone enjoyed the weekend. Some presenta- tions, remote control aircraft, flour bomb- ing and gliding, as well as, flying were some of the events that took place during the 2 day event. It was nice to see a good turn out of general aviation enthusiasts in a post 9-11 world. [1] This R-22 was captured by Dave McMahon during its display at the Stanley Fly In.

  • Le Transport Arien Rgional
    REGIONAL AIR TRANSPORT By Christine Audet, Transport Analyst, Air Transport Branch, MTQ INTRODUCTION In recent decades, air transport has experienced the convulsions brought about by the economic deregulation of this mode of transport in Canada and around the world. Deregulation has proven beneficial in Canadian markets, translating into increased competition on domestic and international route networks, resulting in a broader range of services and lower fares. Québec travellers also enjoy these benefits when they fly from Québec to other North American or international destinations. But what about regional air transport within Québec? Travellers complain about exorbitant prices, infrequent flights, and inconvenient schedules, especially in the case of travel from the regions into the major urban centres. Who has never said or heard a comment like “It’s cheaper to fly from Montréal to Paris than from Montréal to Sept-Îles”? Is this myth or reality? What role does the Québec government play within the context of the Canadian regulatory environment in terms of ensuring that the regions have access to the air services that they require? This article will shed some light on the reality of air transport in Québec. The first section outlines the main events that led to the restructuring of the air transport industry in Canada, and its repercussions on the provision of services in Québec. This is followed by an examination of the measures taken by the Québec government in order to maintain a satisfactory network of air transport services. Finally, the last section presents the factors that affect supply and demand in the area of air transport.

  • CRPY F &) N CANADIAN TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH LE GROUPE DE REDIERCHES SUR LES TRANSPORTS AU Canadi
    .„_ CRPY F &) n CANADIAN TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH LE GROUPE DE REDIERCHES SUR LES TRANSPORTS AU CANADi 21st ANNUAL MEETINL PROCEEDINGS VANCOUVER, B.C. MAY 1986 A 200 CANADIAN AIR TRANSPORT INDUSTRY: RECENT TRENDS by Roger Royl Canadian Transport Commission 1. INTRODUCTION On May 10, 1984, a new Domestic Air Policy was unveiled. Some associated this new policy to deregulation, others saw in it a regulatory reform allowing a staged liberalization of regulation. The gradual elimination of pricing controls and the allowed free and open competition proposed in the policy, created public expectations. New trends emerging from the relaxation of airline economic regulation are distinguishable and this paper identifies them in relation to the expectations created by the new policy. The most telling expectations have to do with the anticipation of an increase in the level of competition. Increased competition promises to impact on costs (and, by the same token, on fares), on services and on efficiency. It is important to examine the recent trends in relation to foreseeing changes. To do so, a standard economic approach consisting of analyzing the industry's structure, conduct and performance, is used to review the domestic air passenger transport industry. 2. STRUCTURE AND PERFORMANCE By allowing free and open competition between the so-called National, Regional and Local carriers, and by permitting new or existing carriers to apply to the Canadian Transport Commission (CTC) to serve any domestic route with any equipment it wants, the new policy promised a more competitive market structure. But the word "market", in the context of air services, can mean, at one extreme, the entire industry or, at the other, an individual city-pair.

  • The Decade That Terrorists Attacked Not Only the United States on American Soil, but Pilots’ Careers and Livelihoods
    The decade that terrorists attacked not only the United States on American soil, but pilots’ careers and livelihoods. To commemorate ALPA’s 80th anniversary, Air Line Pilot features the following special section, which illustrates the challenges, opportunities, and trends of one of the most turbulent decades in the industry’s history. By chronicling moments that forever changed the aviation industry and its pilots, this Decade in Review—while not all-encompassing—reflects on where the Association and the industry are today while reiterating that ALPA’s strength and resilience will serve its members and the profession well in the years to come. June/July 2011 Air Line Pilot 13 The Decade— By the Numbers by John Perkinson, Staff Writer lthough the start of the millennium began with optimism, 2001 and the decade that followed has been infamously called by some “The Lost Decade.” And statistics don’t lie.

Putting It in Perspective During the last decade, the average cost of a dozen large Grade A eggs jumped from 91 cents to $1.66, an increase of 82.4 percent. Yet the Air Transport Association (ATA) reports that the average domestic round-trip ticket cost just $1.81 more in 2010 than at the turn of the decade—$316.27 as compared to $314.46 in 2001 (excluding taxes). That’s an increase of just 0.6 percent more.
