All the while, McNerney has presided over soaring Updated 2/26/2007 9:08 AM ET sales and a 43% rise in Boeing's share price. Chicago-based Boeing is the world's top-selling builder of passenger jets, and second-biggest defense contractor behind Lockheed Martin. Boeing was in a steep dive when McNerney took control in July 2005. Former CEO Phil Condit, a visionary aerospace engineer known for living large, was forced out in the wake of defense procurement scandals that landed Druyun and Sears in prison. McNerney's short-time predecessor, Harry Stonecipher, also charged by Boeing directors with restoring Boeing's integrity, was forced out after sending explicitly sexual e-mails to a Boeing executive with whom he was having an extramarital affair. McNerney, 57, represents a stark contrast to his predecessors by several measures. He's the first Boeing CEO from outside the company since World War II. In person, he comes across as low-key and proper. By Kevin P. Casey for USA TODAY In stints at General Electric and 3M, McNerney established himself in the nation's top tier of Boeing CEO Jim McNerney got lessons in values at an executive talent, the place where the largest early age.

    The History of Air Transport KOSTAS IATROU Dedicated to my wife Evgenia and my sons George and Yianni Copyright © 2020: Kostas Iatrou First Edition: July 2020 Published by: Hermes – Air Transport Organisation Graphic Design – Layout: Sophia Darviris Material (either in whole or in part) from this publication may not be published, photocopied, rewritten, transferred through any electronical or other means, without prior permission by the publisher. Preface ommercial aviation recently celebrated its first centennial. Over the more than 100 years since the first Ctake off, aviation has witnessed challenges and changes that have made it a critical component of mod- ern societies. Most importantly, air transport brings humans closer together, promoting peace and harmo- ny through connectivity and social exchange. A key role for Hermes Air Transport Organisation is to contribute to the development, progress and promo- tion of air transport at the global level. This would not be possible without knowing the history and evolu- tion of the industry. Once a luxury service, affordable to only a few, aviation has evolved to become accessible to billions of peo- ple. But how did this evolution occur? This book provides an updated timeline of the key moments of air transport. It is based on the first aviation history book Hermes published in 2014 in partnership with ICAO, ACI, CANSO & IATA. I would like to express my appreciation to Professor Martin Dresner, Chair of the Hermes Report Committee, for his important role in editing the contents of the book. I would also like to thank Hermes members and partners who have helped to make Hermes a key organisa- tion in the air transport field.

  • Boeing Corporation the Challenge of Being Ethical and Competitive
    Boeing Corporation The Challenge of Being Ethical and Competitive “Because we dared to dream, dared to work hard, we have turned dreams into realities, to leave some huge footprints on every aerospace frontier. Now it is time to create some new footprints!” ~ Phil Condit, CEO, 1996 Boeing Chief Executive Phil Condit stared blankly at the road early Saturday evening as he drove to Boeing Headquarters. He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, contemplating the crucial decision at hand. The Boeing Board of Directors was to gather that night to decide whether or not to fire Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President Mike Sears and Darleen Druyun, the Vice President of Missile-Defense Systems. Recent events had caused executives to question the appropriateness of the hiring of Druyun by Sears. Sears offered Druyun a job last year while she was employed as an acquisition official for the U.S. Air Force. At the time, she was reviewing a $21 billion proposal for the Air Force to lease 100 Boeing 767 air-borne-refueling tankers. Boeing assigned external and in-house lawyers to review Sears and Druyun’s conduct more than a month ago. In the initial stages of the investigation the lawyers did not find any impropriety; two weeks ago however, the fate of Boeing changed when the lawyers uncovered improper contact between Sears and Druyun. The lawyers discovered evidence from e-mails and interviews that Sears’ contacted Druyun about employment with Boeing in October 2002, while she was reviewing the tanker contract. This directly violated Boeing’s hiring policies.

The project was funded by a research grant from the Danish Energy Research Programme. The overall aim of this project is to investigate the linkages between energy use, life style and environmental impact. As a case of study, this report investigates the future possibilities for reducing the growth in greenhouse gas emissions from commercial civil air transport, that is passenger air travel and airfreight. The reason for this choice of focus is that we found that commercial civil air transport may become a relatively large energy consumer and greenhouse gas emitter in the future. For example, according to different scenarios presented by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), commercial civil air transport's fuel burn may grow by between 0,8 percent a factor of 1,6 and 16 between 1990 and 2050. The actual growth in fuel consumption will depend on the future growth in airborne passenger travel and freight and the improvement rate for the specific fuel efficiency.
