Naples Airport Ordered to Close Airspace from 25-27 September for the NATO Defence Ministers Summit Naples Airport ordered to close airspace from 25-27 September for the NATO Defence Ministers Summit. The Chiefs of Staff - Italian Joint Operations - have requested the Naples Prefecture to order a no fly zone for the Naples Airport from 1 a.m. the morning of 25 September until 11.59 p.m. the night of 27 September effective for all commercial air traffic while official, government and military flights will be authorised. In light of the international situation which has evolved following the terrorist attacks in the United States, the ordinance was adopted by Government Authorities in order to guarantee the security of airspace during the NATO summit. Gesac, the Naples International Airport operator, anticipates that the three-day shutdown will cause the cancellation of approximately 225 flights, the equivalent of 450 movements (landings and takeoffs), of which 150 are domestic, 60 international, 10 charter, 3 postal and 2 cargo. A reduction in passenger traffic of nearly 34,000 is expected and includes 22,000 on domestic scheduled flights, 9,000 on international scheduled flights and 3,000 on charter flights. These figures are a conservative estimate because it may be necessary to cancel additional flights during the hours immediately before and after the indicated period of airspace closure. The airline companies obliged to cancel flights to and from Naples are: Air France, Air Littoral, Air One, Alitalia, Alitalia Team, Alpi Eagles, British Airways, Go, Lufhansa, Meridiana, Olympic Airways, Sabena, Transavia e Volare Group. Charter traffic is less effected and involves the following carriers: Azzurra, City Bird, Futura, Spanair, Tuninter e Tunisair. Gesac will adopt all necessary measures to ensure essential services (e.g. assistance for authorised flights), in compliance with the guidelines set up by the Prefecture which have also been sent to government authorities for formalisation so that the operational details entailed can be made available to all interested parties. .

Abstract Keywords: 2 1. Introduction Air traffic is one of the factors influencing and, at the same time, showing the position of a city in the world-city hierarchy. There is a positive correlation between higher volumes of air passenger and cargo flows, urban growth and the position in the urban hierarchy of the knowledge economy (Goetz, 1992; Rodrigue, 2004; Taylor, 2004; Derudder and Witlox, 2005, 2008; Bel and Fageda, 2008). In relation to the configuration of mega-city regions, Hall (2009) remarks that it is key to understand how information moves in order to achieve face-to-face communication and, over long distances, it will continue to move by air, through the big international airports (Shin and Timberlake, 2000). This paper deals with the allocation of seat capacity among all EU and US airports over a period of 20 years.

Of these insolvencies, some were of small airlines, but some were of larger scheduled airlines and caused significant issues for passengers (Air Madrid, SkyEurope and Sterling). Airline bankruptcy, focus on passenger rights Laura Pierallini The Italian market This trend has significantly affected the Italian market, where over the last eight years, a number of domestic air carriers have experienced insolvencies: ¾Minerva Airlines ¾Gandalf Airlines ¾Alpi Eagles ¾Volare Airlines ¾Air Europe ¾Alitalia ¾Myair ¾Livingston An overall, since 2003 the Italian air transport market has witnessed one insolvency per year.

  • Aeroporti Del Mezzogiorno
    AEROPORTI DEL MEZZOGIORNO 2007 AEROPORTI DEL MEZZOGIORNO 2007 Alessandro Bianchi Ministro dei Trasporti Ho trascorso quasi trent’anni della mia vita in Calabria e a Reggio Calabria in particolare. Sono stati anni che ho interamente dedicato allo studio e alla pianifica- zione del territorio, per cui ho ben presente l’importanza di un efficiente sistema di mobilità per l’Italia meridionale e insulare. Le regioni dell’Italia del Sud sono attualmente dotate di un sistema aeroportua- le moderno e quindi lo sforzo che bisogna compiere è in direzione della piena inte- grazione con le reti di trasporto europee, affinché il Mezzogiorno d’Italia diventi la vera testa di ponte continentale verso i paesi della riva sud ed est del Mediter- raneo. Un vasto piano di interventi infrastrutturali negli aeroporti dell’Italia meridionale è in corso di attuazione in esecuzione di Accordi di programma quadro per il tra- sporto aereo sottoscritti con le singole regioni. Sono il frutto di una efficace collabo- razione istituzionale tra l’Unione Europea, che li ha finanziati con i fondi strutturali, le regioni, che hanno impegnato importanti contributi, e il Ministero dei Trasporti e delle Infrastrutture impegnato a centrare l’obiettivo di rendere migliore servizio al cittadino-utente. Comunque è l’intero panorama del trasporto aereo dell’Italia meri- dionale che potrebbe uscire profondamente rinnovato grazie agli interventi del PON Trasporti. Dal punto di vista territoriale la geografia articolata dell’Italia rende prioritarie le esigenze di consolidamento di un vasto network senza privilegiare solo le tratte più redditizie, e la continuità territoriale è prerequisito irrinunciabile perché l’Europa sia veramente unita e perché le barriere geografiche non si trasformino in ostacoli allo sviluppo economico.

  • Elenco Codici IATA Delle Compagnie Aeree
    Elenco codici IATA delle compagnie aeree. OGNI COMPAGNIA AEREA HA UN CODICE IATA Un elenco dei codici ATA delle compagnie aeree è uno strumento fondamentale, per chi lavora in agenzia viaggi e nel settore del turismo in generale. Il codice IATA delle compagnie aeree, costituito da due lettere, indica un determinato vettore aereo. Ad esempio, è utilizzato nelle prime due lettere del codice di un volo: – AZ 502, AZ indica la compagnia aerea Alitalia. – FR 4844, FR indica la compagnia aerea Ryanair -AF 567, AF, indica la compagnia aerea Air France Il codice IATA delle compagnie aeree è utilizzato per scopi commerciali, nell’ambito di una prenotazione, orari (ad esempio nel tabellone partenza e arrivi in aeroporto) , biglietti , tariffe , lettere di trasporto aereo e bagagli Di seguito, per una visione di insieme, una lista in ordine alfabetico dei codici di molte compagnie aeree di tutto il mondo. Per una ricerca più rapida e precisa, potete cliccare il tasto Ctrl ed f contemporaneamente.

  • Identificazione E Affidabilità Delle Aerolinee Nell'odierno
    Identificazione e affidabilità delle aerolinee nell’odierno scenario del trasporto aereo Stante la difficoltà di “conoscere” l’aerolinea con cui si volerà, può almeno l’utente avere la certezza che le autorità preposte abbiano svolto idonea opera di vaglio e controllo? Uno dei principali problemi con cui oggi si deve confrontare l’utente del trasporto aereo è indubbiamente costituito dall’identità del vettore che si prenderà carico di trasportarlo alla sua destinazione. Una volta, fino a qualche anno fa, questo problema davvero non esisteva. In Italia in particolare, chi decideva di volare sapeva abbastanza di Alitalia, Itavia, Meridiana per poter prendere con cognizione di causa la sua decisione; parlare di scelta del vettore sarebbe errato, in quanto i collegamenti che questi operatori esercitavano raramente erano in sovrapposizione e come tali in concorrenza fra loro. Ma oggi il problema è molto peggiorato e usando questi termini non necessariamente intendiamo far riferimento all’aspetto della safety, che pure ha la sua valenza, quanto all’altro argomento assai più elementare di conoscere, nel senso di aver almeno sentito parlare del vettore che ci porterà a destinazione. L’esempio più eclatante di quanto stiamo dicendo è dato dal recente caso della Flash Air e dell’incidente di Sharm El Sheikh. Non fraintendiamo: abbiamo già scritto e ripetiamo anche in questa occasione, che fintanto che la commissione di inchiesta non conclude la sua indagine è assolutamente sbagliato –come purtroppo è accaduto- sparare a zero a priori contro la compagnia aerea. Il discorso vale per questo come per ogni altro malaugurato incidente che si dovesse verificare.

  • The Impact of Airport Competition on Technical Efficiency: a Stochastic

We find that the intensity of competition has a negative impact on airports’ efficiency in Italy during the 2005–2008 period. This implies that airports belonging to a local air transportation system where competition is strong exploit their inputs less intensively than do airports with local monopoly power. Furthermore, we find that public airports are more efficient than private and mixed ones. Since public airports take into account the positive externalities created by air transportation in the local economy, they are more willing to subsidize airlines in developing the airports’ connections. Hence, policy makers should provide incentives to implement airports’ specialization in local systems where competition is strong. Moreover, when regulating airport charges, they should take into account the impact of the above externalities.
