ACW october 2012 3 editorial Transition, adaptation and staying ahead of the game e’re now, officially, entering the home stretch toward the end of the year. What better way to celebrate than a ranking of the top airports in the world? Yes, when you look at the list compiled by Airports Council International (p. 32), you’d likely first see some depressing figures. In the year-over-year column, there Jon Ross Ware a lot of negative numbers. Don’t be depressed! Editor Despite the sluggish year-over-year results and the slow first half of 2012, airport operators have said that, on the whole, cargo operations are becom- ing busier. That’s good news for officials at Hong Kong International Airport, Incheon International Airport and Memphis International Airport, all of whom contributed to the article this month, and all of whom saw either flat growth or declines in their tonnage numbers between 2010 and 2011. The airports that did see boosts were the smaller players in emerging markets. These airports in Af- rica and Latin America will be even more important in the coming months. We should all watch to see how quickly they keep growing. In addition to airports, carriers are also on my mind, as we wait for the ap- proval of UPS and TNT Express’ merger, and watch, from a distance, the results from the EU’s inquiry into a proposed Ryanair-Aer Lingus deal. Closer to home, rumors are swirling about US Airways’ pursuit of American Airlines, a carrier that just welcomed a new cargo head a few short months ago. Another new of- ficial tasked with boosting up a sometimes troubled airline is Richard Forson, who recently became interim CEO of Cargolux. He provides some interesting comments about transition and strengthening business processes on page 62. Yes, transition is in the air, as it turns colder here in the Southern U.S. Merg- ers, while diminishing the number of carriers in the market, are not a bad thing. New vitality can be derived from joining forces, just as better direction can be given to an adrift company when a new perspective takes over. Hopefully, these developments will help exhilarate the industry, turning what has been a so-so 2012 into a booming 2013. 4 october 2012 ACW MIA Air Cargo world Jan16.pdf 2012/2/3 5:59:44 PM C M Y CM MY CY CMY K Europwoe r ld Asian e w middlse east africa americas americas africa middle east Asia Europe Air Cargo Germany to acquire two 747-400ERs irBridgeCargo Airlines will hand over two Boeing 747-400 Aextended-range freighters to Air Cargo Germany, of which ABC holds a 49-percent stake.

On a daily basis, the region’s airports provide service to hundreds of thousands of air passengers, and thousands of tons of cargo. Moreover, the airports in the SCAG region employ approximately 60,000 Ground Access people onsite. Therefore, thousands of passengers, employees, and goods are traveling the region’s roads, highways, and transit systems to get to and from the airports. As a metropolitan planning organization (MPO), SCAG does not have any regulatory, developmental, operational, or planning authority over the airports. Rather, SCAG is primarily a regional surface transportation planning agency that maintains a list of airport ground access projects and a consultative relationship with the airports. Therefore, SCAG is focused on air and passenger cargo activity from the perspective of how the traffic coming and going from the airports affects the region’s roads, highways, and transit system. One critical aspect of SCAG’s role in aviation systems and transportation planning is the Aviation Element of the 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2020 RTP/SCS) (Connect SoCal).

In accordance with those provisions, Member States are responsible for aircraft operators which were issued with an operating licence in accordance with the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2407/92 in that Member State, or aircraft operators without an operating licence or from third countries whose emis- sions in the base year are mostly attributable to that Member State. Article 18a(3)(a) of the Directive requires the Commission to publish a list of aircraft operators which performed an aviation activity listed in Annex I of the Directive on or after 1 January 2006 specifying the administering Member State for each aircraft operator.
