Lessons from Sir Reginald Ansett
LESSONS FROM SIR REGINALD ANSETT Reg Ansett became one of the wealthiest and most influential businessmen in Australia, with interests over a vast range of industries from television stations and air transport to credit card organisations. However, he would describe himself as an aviator. He was born in February 1909 in Inglewood, Victoria. His father owned a bicycle repair shop. When war broke out in 1914 his father enlisted and his mother and young Reg moved to Melbourne, settling in Camberwell. He left school at fourteen to find a job to help the family finances. He commenced work at a knitting factory becoming a highly-skilled sewing machine mechanic, until he was twenty-one. By then his dreams had been full of daring flight, particularly of his hero, Charles Kingsford Smith. He cashed in on an insurance policy to raise the funds for flying lessons and became the 419th Australian to be granted a licence. Unfortunately, at the time, the Depression was beginning to hurt the economy and opportunities for young pilots were limited. Showing his entrepreneurial spirit he decided that there was income to be made from growing peanuts in the Northern Territory, so he took a ship to Darwin. He soon realised it was not a well thought through plan and instead worked as an axeman clearing trees for surveyors. However, the experience in the vast distances of the Northern Territory confirmed to him that there was a great future in the transport business. He returned to Melbourne, purchased a second-hand Sudebaker car and decided to establish himself in the West of Victoria and began and taxi service from Hamilton to Ballarat. -
Qantas' Future As a Strong National Carrier Supporting Jobs in Australia
Coalition Senators' Dissenting Report 1.1 As a nation we are increasingly reliant on efficient, inexpensive and convenient aviation services. This is hardly surprising when you consider that our population is spread over such a vast land mass. 1.2 Aviation is a dynamic industry that has faced many challenges over the past decades since the introduction of the QSA in 1992. In Australia the market is highly competitive and presently capacity is saturated which has resulted in lower yields and affected the profitability of our carriers. 1.3 From a passenger’s perspective, the competitive tension between Qantas and Virgin Australia has resulted in a high quality product being delivered at a lower price with increased destinations and often with more convenient schedules. 1.4 Both Virgin Australia and Qantas are clearly excellent Australian airlines which contribute significantly to the economy, regional communities and tourism and have both shown a willingness to assist Australians in times of crisis. 1.5 Airlines also operate in an environment of increasing higher fuel costs, a relatively high Australian dollar compared to previous decades and significant capital expenditure requirements in an effort to operate the most modern and fuel efficient aircraft fleets. 1.6 Additionally, the carbon tax has added significantly to the costs of operating Australian domestic airlines. In the 2013-14 financial year the carbon tax drove up operating expenses at Qantas by $106 million and $48 million at Virgin Australia. It also cost Regional Express (Rex) $2.4 million. 1.7 The cumulative effect of all of these factors has led to an environment where both Australia’s major domestic carriers have announced first half losses; Qantas of $252 million and Virgin Australia of $84 million. -
Airline and Aircraft Movement Growth “Airports...Are a Vital Part of Ensuring That Our Nation Is Able to Be Connected to the Rest of the World...”
CHAPTER 5 AIRLINE AND AIRCRAFT MOVEMENT GROWTH “AIRPORTS...ARE A VITAL PART OF ENSURING THAT OUR NATION IS ABLE TO BE CONNECTED TO THE REST OF THE WORLD...” THE HON WARREN TRUSS, DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER 5 Airline and aircraft movement growth The volume of passenger and aircraft movements at Canberra Airport has declined since 2009/2010. In 2013/2014 Canberra Airport will handle approximately 2.833 million passengers across approximately 60,000 aircraft movements, its lowest recorded passenger volume since 2007/2008. The prospects for a future return to growth however are strong. Canberra Airport expects a restoration of volume growth in 2015/2016 and retains confidence in the future of the aviation market in Canberra, across Australia, and particularly the Asia Pacific region. Over the next 20 years passenger numbers at Canberra Airport are projected to reach 9 million passengers per annum with some 153,000 aircraft movements in 2033/2034. Canberra Airport, with its extensive infrastructure upgrades in recent years, is well positioned to meet forecast demand with only minor additional infrastructure and capitalise on growth opportunities in the regional, domestic and international aviation markets. 5.1 OVERVIEW Globally, the aviation industry has experienced enormous change over the past 15 years including deregulation of the airline sector, operational and structural changes in the post-September 11 2001 environment, oil price shocks, the collapse of airlines as a result of the global financial crisis (GFC), and the rise of new global players in the Middle East at the expense of international carriers from traditional markets. Likewise, Australia has seen enormous change in its aviation sector – the demise of Ansett, the emergence of Virgin Australia, Jetstar, and Tiger Airways, the subsequent repositioning of two out of three of these new entrant airlines and, particularly in the Canberra context, the collapse of regional airlines. -

Aerospace technology in its present form has developedalong certain basic principles of aerodynamic forces. Differentparts in an airplane have different functions to balance theaircraft in air, provide a thrust, and control the general mechanisms.Profusely illustrated descriptions provide a picture of whatkinds of aircraft are used for cargo, passenger travel, bombing, and supersonicflights. Propulsion principles and descriptions of differentkinds of engines are quite helpful. At the end of each chapter,new terminology is listed.

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.
