  • Communication in Cabin Safety
    COMMUNICATION IN AIRCRAFT CABIN SAFETY: LESSONS LEARNED AND LESSONS REQUIRED Paul D. Krivonos Director, Public Sector Management and Professor of Communication California State University, Northridge Presented at the 22nd Annual International Cabin Safety Symposium Universal City, California 14 February 2005 COMMUNICATION IN AIRCRAFT CABIN SAFETY: LESSONS LEARNED AND LESSONS REQUIRED On March 31, 1985, a young man boarded an Air New Zealand flight in London for his home in Oakland, California. The plane stopped in Los Angeles, where U.S. bound passengers were to deplane and board other flights for their domestic destinations, then boarded new passengers and reboarded transiting passengers for the onward flight to Auckland. He became convinced that the Air New Zealand crew was directing Oakland- bound passengers into a transit area, where he headed, then later reboarded with the rest of the New Zealand bound passengers. Airline personnel claim that he was asked twice if he was going to Auckland, and twice answered in the affirmative. His explanation was that the New Zealand-accented crew didn’t say Auckland, but rather, they said Oakland. It was not until sometime after takeoff that he realized his error, but it was too late, and he found himself in New Zealand’s largest city at the end of his flight. The next day the airline flew him home—to Oakland—from Auckland at no charge (Baker, 1985, April 11). Communication has long been suggested as a critical issue in human interaction as can be seen in the above example. Communication is also essential for organizational and managerial performance and success.

  • Business Opportunities in Aircraft Cabin Conversion and Refurbishing
    Business Opportunities in Aircraft Cabin Conversion and Refurbishing Mihaela F. Niţă1 and Dieter Scholz2 Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Berliner Tor 9, 20099 Hamburg, Germany This paper identifies several meaningful business opportunity cases in the area of aircraft cabin conversion and refurbishing and predicts the market volume and the world distribution for each of them: 1.) international cabins, 2.) domestic cabins, 3.) aircraft on operating lease, 4.) freighter conversions and 5.) VIP completions. This implies the determination of cabin modification/conversion scenarios, along with their duration and frequency. Factors driving the cabin conversion and refurbishing are identified. Several aircraft databases, containing the current world feet as well as the forecasted fleet for the next years, are analyzed. The results are obtained by creating a program able to read and analyze the gathered data. It is shown that about 38000 cabin redesigns will be undertaken within the next 20 years. About 2500 conversions from jetliners into freighters and 25000 cabin modifications at VIP standards will emerge on the market. The North American and European markets will keep providing good business opportunities in this area. The Asian market, however, is growing fast, and its very strong influence on demand puts it in the front rank for the next 20 years. Nomenclature agescenario_limit = aircraft age for which the refurbishing is no longer planned by the operator. dateaircraft_delivery = date of the aircraft first delivery datemodification

  • Airlines' Pricing Strategies and OD Markets
    Journal of Travel, Tourism and Recreation Volume 2, Issue 3, 2020, PP 19-36 ISSN 2642-908X Airlines' Pricing Strategies and O-D Markets: Theoretical and Practical Pricing Strategies Mohamed Ramadan R. Abdelhady1*, Mostafa Mahmoud H. Abou-Hamad2 1Associate Lecturer at the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Fayoum University, Fayoum-Egypt. 2Associate Professor at the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Fayoum University, Fayoum- Egypt. *Corresponding Author: Mohamed Ramadan R. Abdelhady, Associate Lecturer at the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Fayoum University, Fayoum-Egypt, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Successful marketing strategies are just as substantial as the engineering for the airlines to survive. Part of the 4Ps is the pricing strategies of the aviation industry. This is specifically paramount for airlines to increase the market share in the air transport industry. Although it is conclusive for the airlines to offer competitive fares, academic studies are rare in such a field. If there are airlines-related academic studies or literatures available, they usually concentrate on the 4Ps but not on pricing itself. The study aims to evaluate the pricing strategies and origin-destination (O-D) markets of full-service carriers (FSCs) and low- cost carriers (LCCs). Furthermore, the authors would like to find out how airlines set their pricing strategies to compete in a fast- growing and highly competitive market. The findings revealed that the airlines attempt to segment the demand in each origin-destination (O-D) market by offering different combinations of price levels and restriction bundles designed to appeal to different groups of potential passengers with different levels of willingness to pay (WTP).

  • Airbus' Cabin Air Explanations During the Corona Pandemic – Presented, Analyzed, and Criticized
    Notiz Memo AERO_M_Airbus-CabinAir_Explanation_20-06-19.pdf Datum: 2020-06-19 Author: Prof. Dr. Dieter Scholz, MSME Aircraft Design and Systems Group (AERO) Department Automotive and Aeronautical Engineering Hamburg University of Applied Sciences Hamburg Berliner Tor 9, 20099 Hamburg, Germany E-Mail: [email protected] WWW: http://AERO.ProfScholz.de PURL: http://purl.org/corona/M2020-06-19 (short and persistent link to this document) Airbus' Cabin Air Explanations during the Corona Pandemic – Presented, Analyzed, and Criticized Abstract The technical expertise of the aircraft manufacturer on cabin air in passenger aircraft during the Corona pandemic is paramount. Not much of it is out in the public domain. The little information found, is presented here, analyzed, and criticized. Airbus is using the same arguments in support of flying during times of COVID-19 as other stakeholders in the aviation industry. The three facts: high air change rate, use of HEPA filters, and a ventilation concept for each cross section along the length of the fuselage justifies for Airbus to wave otherwise accepted commandments about social distancing. Every possible argument is used to play down the health risk from SARS-CoV-2 for the sake of inviting passengers back into the aircraft. The wealth of arguments can be found in an interview with Airbus chief engineer Jean-Brice Dumont. This memo presents some of the arguments from the video in written form. 1 1 Introduction Aviation organizations like the International Air Transport Association (IATA) are lobbying successfully already since the beginning of May for flying in densely filled aircraft (Pearce 2020). Certainly, Airbus would have informed its customers – the airlines – about cabin air related details in view of COVID- 19.

  • Airline Passengers and Lighters FAQ's, November 2013
    Airline Passengers and Lighters Frequently Asked Questions The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) enforces the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Hazardous Materials Regulations in aviation. This includes safety rules on how airline passengers can carry lighters. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) enforces security rules about what passengers can carry on the aircraft. The FAA guidance below considers both DOT and TSA rules for passengers carrying lighters. Q1. What type of lighter can I bring onto the aircraft? A1. Under DOT rules (49 CFR 175.10), when traveling on a commercial airline, you can bring one (1) lighter that uses a flammable gas (butane) or that uses a flammable liquid that is absorbed in a lining (Zippo-type). The following restrictions apply: • For safety reasons, permitted lighters must be in your carry-on or on your person (in your pocket), not in checked baggage. See Q2. regarding special travel containers that allow lighters in checked baggage. • Under TSA regulations, torch lighters (a.k.a. jet lighters, blue flame lighters, cigar lighters) are forbidden in your carry-on or on your person. TSA rules also prohibit lighters that look like guns or other weapons. • Containers of lighter fluid or gas (butane) are forbidden in carry-on and checked baggage. • Micro torches, chef torches, utility torches, etc., are not considered lighters and are forbidden in carry-on and checked baggage. Fuel for such torches is also forbidden in carry-on and checked baggage. Q2. Is there any exception to the “one lighter only” rule or the “no torch lighters” rule? A2. You can bring up to two (2) additional lighters—including torch lighters—in your checked baggage when you use DOT-approved airtight travel containers for lighters.
