Certain strains of E.coli (most notably O157) can be the cause of se- vere gastroenteritis illnesses. In a follow-up study in November 2004 seventeen percent of 169 aircraft from 20 different airports were tested positive for total coliform bacteria. So it is shown this is a persistent problem. In November 2004 twelve national airlines have announced a commitment with the EPA to implement new aircraft water testing and disinfection protocols. The reason most airlines give for the contamination of the water supply is the bad quality of water at oversea intake points. The subsequent disinfection is not adequate enough at the moment to prevent the contamination. The EPA is negotiating with two more big airlines and several charter and small carriers to introduce better protocols. New regulations will probably be issued in the next 12-18 months.

Aviation in the Pacific International Aviation Services Are Crucial to Trade, Growth, and Development in the Pacific Region
Pacific Studies Series About Oceanic Voyages: Aviation in the Pacific International aviation services are crucial to trade, growth, and development in the Pacific region. Improved access provided by international aviation from every other region in the world to an increasing number of islands is opening new opportunities. Tourism contributes substantially to income and employment in many Pacific countries, usually in areas outside of the main urban centers, and enables air freight services for valuable but perishable commodities that would otherwise not be marketable. Although some features of the Pacific region make provision of international aviation services a challenge, there have also been some notable successes that offer key lessons for future development. Case studies of national aviation sector experience show the value of operating on commercial principles, attracting international and OCEANIC V private-sector capital investment, assigning risk where it can best be managed, and liberalizing market access. Integration of the regional market for transport services, combined with harmonized but less restrictive regulations, would facilitate a greater range of services at more competitive prices. Pacific island country governments have the ability to create effective operating environments. When they do so, experience O shows that operators will respond with efficient service provision. YAGES: About the Asian Development Bank Av ADB aims to improve the welfare of the people in the Asia and Pacific region, IATI particularly the nearly 1.9 billion who live on less than $2 a day.

The Development of the Major Commercial Airlines : Tequesta
The Development of the Major Commercial Airlines in Dade County, Florida: 1945-1970 By AURORA E. DAVIS* The prosperity of Dade County is built in a large measure around tourism. In fact, tourism is Greater Miami's largest single source of in- come, as it contributed, by 1970, over 2.1 billion dollars a year to the area's economy. As one of the delivery and departure vehicles for tourists, air transportation, and particularly the commercial aviation industry, as- sumes a position of paramount importance carrying an estimated 60 to 65 per cent of tourists to South Florida. In addition, air transportation has become since World War II a dominant stimulant to the area's eco- nomic expansion. The industry's development and growth have helped provide the stable base for sharp rises in tourism, aviation-oriented enter- prises, and other institutional growth. This study of the development and consequent effect of air transpor- tation on the economy of Dade County and the South Florida area, because of the enormous extent of the subject, is limited to the commercial aviation industry. In particular, it will focus upon the four major airlines serving Miami: Pan American World Airways; Eastern Airlines; National Airlines; and Delta Air Lines. There are other large domestic and international carriers serving Miami, but none have had the local impact of what this author calls "Miami's big four." 1 The aviation history of Dade County can be said to have begun in 1911 when Howard Gill brought a Wright brothers aircraft to Miami. The appearance of this aircraft in July and subsequent favorable reaction on the part of local officials, augured a most beneficial relationship between *This paper is based upon a Master of Arts thesis in history written in 1972 at the Uni- versity of Miami.
