A list of past focus regions published in recent years can be downloaded from the Bonus section in the subscriber pages of our website. Focus Region: North Atlantic GREENLAND (Denmark) The Finance Committee of the Danish parliament has approved a deal under which the Danish State will buy shares for DKK 700 million in Kalaallit Airports International A/S, the local airport operator, for the construction of two new international airports in Nuuk and Ilulissat, and a regional airport in Qaqortoq on the southern tip of the island. The existing runways in the west of Greenland will be extended from 950 m to 2,220 m in Nuuk and from 845 m to 2,200 m in Ilulissat. The extension means that the airports will be able to take larger aircraft such as the Airbus A330 with up to 300 passengers. At all three airports, it will be necessary to blast away rocks to make space for the construction work. The rubble will be re-used as filler and surfacing material for the runways. This will avoid the need to remove the heavy rocks, which are perfect building material that can withstand the large temperature fluctuations in Greenland. This new participation of the Danish State amounts to a 33.3% ownership. The remaining 66.6% of the shares will be owned by Kalaallit Airports Holding A/S (KAH), which will contribute DKK 1.4 billion to the project. KAH is wholly-owned by Greenland’s self-governing body. -- At EUR 572 million, these projects will be the largest infrastructure investment in Greenland’s history. The move can be seen as one of the Government measures being taken to minimize foreign – and especially Chinese – investment in essential infrastructure. China has been trying to get footholds in resource-rich Greenland under its ‘Polar Silk Road’ policy. The local government also hopes that the new international airports will underpin business expansion and support tourism. The new runways at Nuuk and Ilulissat will be long enough for the trans-Atlantic flights that at present use Kangerlussuaq or Narsarsuaq, where the runways, built of thawing permafrost soil, are becoming unsuitable for commercial operations. Earlier in 2020, the Munck Group was selected as constructor following a competitive quote competition. Its agreement counterpart is the Kalaallit Airports development company. The new runways are scheduled to become operative in 2022/23. Construction of the terminal buildings constitutes a separate bidding competition. Qaqortoq will feature a runway of 1,500 m. In early February 2020, five contractors were shortlisted by Kalaallit Airports Domestic A/S as bidders for the construction of the Qaqortoq runway: Pennecon Dexter Joint Venture (Canada); MT Højgaard A/S (Denmark); J & K Petersen Contractors P/F (Faroe Islands); Aarsleff-Ístak JV (Denmark/Iceland); and Munck Gruppen A/S (Denmark). Construction of the new 1,500-m runway is expected to take three years; hence it is expected that it will be completed in late 2023. #1117.1 Denmark’s Ministry of Defence has struck an agreement with Greenland allowing its Air Force to use the island’s Kangerlussuaq Airport beyond 2023 as Greenland is constructing two new commercial airports with financial help from Denmark. The development had raised questions over the Danish military’s continued access to Kangerlussuaq after 2023, when the other two airfields are due to open. Defence Minister Trine Bramsen said access to the old airport was crucial to the Air Force’s Copyright © 2020 - Momberger Airport Information - www.mombergerairport.info Page 2 of 11 25 March 2020 No. 1117 DEV ability to fulfil its missions in the Arctic region. -- Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. #1117.2 ICELAND The country’s airport operator and air navigation services provider Isavia has appointed the international construction and consultancy company Mace as Programme Manager for the Keflavik International Airport Major Development Plan (MDP). Mace’s team of aviation specialists will deliver the MDP in multiple phases across a decade. The MDP is a multi-year terminal area development programme designed to provide additional passenger processing and aircraft parking capacity, along with passenger convenience and operational enhancements. “Following an extensive and advanced procurement process, we are certain that we have secured a great delivery partner for the upcoming development of Keflavik International Airport,” says Guðmundur Daði Rúnarsson, Technical and Infrastructure Director for Keflavik Airport at Isavia. “After working on major airport-related projects all over the world, Mace brings experience and professionalism which is vital for a successful delivery of complex airport projects. We look forward for a fruitful partnership for many years to come.” The Mace team will work with Icelandic engineering specialists Verkis to oversee and deliver the MDP. This partnership will see Mace’s international consultancy experience boosted by Verkis’ local knowledge and technical capabilities. Iceland’s largest airport handled nearly 10 million passengers in 2020. The current MDP under the Keflavik Airport Masterplan is based on the provision of a new 85,000-m² East Pier, a new North Terminal, and other associated works, all of which will increase the airport’s capacity to over 14.5 million passengers. A tender for the design of the East Pier and North Building will be issued in 2020, pending feasibility of financing and construction of the East Pier. This will increase gate capacity from 13 to 30 gates, and work could start in 2022-2023. The MDP is a major component of Isavia’s plans to see Keflavik Airport become the major North Atlantic hub for air traffic, boosting the airport’s value as an engine for economic growth in Iceland. In addition to enabling significant operational improvements, the MDP is intended to realise a host of social and environmental benefits, including the creation of jobs for local people and a positive move towards becoming one of the world’s most sustainable airports. “I am delighted with our appointment to lead on the programme management of Keflavik Airport’s Major Development Plan; it’s a landmark win that serves as evidence of our ever-growing aviation offering,” says Jason Millett, Chief Operating Officer for Consultancy at Mace. “It allows us to be part of a truly transformative programme, where we can use our expertise from around the world to work with Isavia and create an airport that supports growth and opportunity across Iceland.” #1117.3 The U.S. Air Force intends to spend ISK 7 billion (USD 56.2 million) on construction projects at Keflavík Airport. The purpose behind this construction is, according to the U.S. military, to ensure that two squadrons of 18 to 24 fighter jets each could be accommodated at the airport 24 hours a day. According to the U.S. Air Force’s 2020 budget, roughly ISK 2.2 billion (USD 18 million) will go toward the development of a special area for the handling of dangerous cargo, such as weaponry; ISK 871.2 million (USD 7 million) will go towards the construction of a portable military facility; and ISK 3.98 billion (USD 32 million) will go toward building a larger apron for U.S. military use. At the same time that the U.S. government will be embarking on its own defence construction projects at the airport, the Icelandic government will also be reinforcing NATO facilities at Keflavík. Foreign Minister Guðlaugur Þór Þórðarson says that these so-called ‘defence structures’ are vital to Iceland’s security, particularly flight security, making investment in NATO maintenance a priority. #1117.4 Copyright © 2020 - Momberger Airport Information - www.mombergerairport.info Page 3 of 11 25 March 2020 No. 1117 DEV IRELAND Dublin Airport welcomed a record total of 32.9 million passengers (+4%) in 2019. About 30.7 million people started and ended their journey at DUB, while almost 2.2 million passengers used the airport as a transit hub. Short-haul traffic increased by 5% to 27.7 million, while long-haul passenger numbers increased by 4% to almost 5.2 million. The transatlantic and European markets were the best performing sectors during the year. Continental European traffic, which is Dublin Airport’s largest market segment, increased by 6% in 2019, as 17.3 million passengers took flights to and from continental European destinations. U.K. traffic increased by 1% to almost 10.2 million passengers. Transatlantic traffic increased by 6%, as 4.2 million passengers took flights to and from North American destinations, while traffic to other international destinations, which includes the Middle East, Africa and Asia, was flat. “The connectivity provided by Dublin Airport is essential, as the Irish economy is one of the most open in the world,” according to the airport’s Managing Director, Vincent Harrison. “Our economy depends on trade, exports, inbound tourism and foreign direct investment (FDI) and Dublin Airport is delighted to be able to facilitate these key sectors.” -- There were 25 new routes at Dublin Airport in 2019 – including new long-haul services to Calgary, Dallas/Fort-Worth and Minneapolis/St Paul and new short- haul services to Bodrum, Kyiv, Lourdes, and Thessaloniki. There were capacity increases on 28 existing routes, as airlines added flights to their schedules or operated services with larger aircraft.

    Greenland 2019 West Greenland Hunting in Greenland is the world’s largest island. Having a surface of 2.18 million, km² and only Greenland about 59,000 inhabitants it is one of the least densely populated regions in the world. The capital city is Nuuk, which has not more than 12,000 inhabitants. A large part of the country is always covered with ice, which can reach a thickness of 3,500m. About one sixth of the island is ice-free. Away from the coasts, the inland is dominated by inhospitable ice and cold deserts. Arctic climate prevails with maximum temperatures from 20 °C in the south to -5 °C in the north. In winter, lowest temperatures are around -50 °C. Hunting We are hunting in different areas winter and autumn, and in two different areas in autumn. areas: In winter, we hunt in a big area outside the concessions, its south of Kangerlussuaq, and is about 350.000 acres. Transport is easy with snowmobiles, so we can easily get around in the area. In autumn we have two concession areas (other outfitters cannot hunt there, but local hunters can go meat hunt in the areas). Both areas is unique, since area 9 is partially in the Inuit hunting World Heritage Site, and all of area 11 is in the World Heritage Site. Only our company and one other outfitter can offer hunts in this unique area where the Inuit started hunting 4000 thousand years ago, and where their old settlements and stone installation for driven hunts is still there.

  • OMG GLISTIN-A 2019 Campaign Field Report

    Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) GLISTIN-A 2019 Campaign Field Report Global sea level rise will be one of the major environmental challenges of the 21st Century. Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) will pave the way for improved estimates of sea level rise by addressing the question: To what extent are the oceans melting Greenland’s ice from below? Over a five-year campaign, OMG will observe changing water temperatures on the continental shelf surrounding Greenland, and how marine glaciers react to the presence of warm, salty Atlantic Water. The complicated geometry of the sea floor steers currents on the shelf and often determines whether Atlantic Water can reach into the long narrow fjords and interact with the coastal glaciers. Because knowledge of these pathways is a critical component of modeling the interaction between the oceans and ice sheet, OMG will facilitate improved measurements of the shape and depth of the sea floor in key regions as well. The surveys of Greenland’s ice sheet were conducted with the GLacier and Ice Surface Topography INterferometer (GLISTIN-A), which aims to produce high spatial resolution (25 m), high-precision (< 50 cm) height maps of Greenland’s coastal glaciers, at 10 to12-km wide swaths using Ka-Band (8.4 mm wavelength) single-pass interferometry. By measuring ice surface elevation changes over several years, volume changes of marine terminating glaciers can be inferred. The GLISTIN-A radar is mounted in a pod under a Gulfstream III airplane. Operating at Ka-Band enhances interferometric accuracy, reduces penetration into the top layers of snow and firn and limits signal attenuation in the atmosphere.

  • Guidelines for the Release of Racing Pigeons for the Purpose of Ensuring Safety of Aircraft and Passengers and Crew Travelling Therein

    Guidelines for the Release of Racing Pigeons for the Purpose of Ensuring Safety of Aircraft and Passengers and Crew Travelling Therein

    GUIDELINES FOR THE RELEASE OF Issued by the Safety Regulation Division of the RACING PIGEONS Irish Aviation Authority Introduction The Safety Regulation Division of the Irish Aviation Authority has issued the following guidelines for the release of racing pigeons for the purpose of ensuring safety of aircraft and passengers and crew travelling therein. The guidelines are available to all Racing Pigeon Clubs and all owners of racing pigeons. Why are racing pigeons a hazard for aircraft? Racing pigeons are a predictable hazard to both civil and military aviation. There are four main reasons why they are hazardous to aircraft: (1) Racing pigeons are heavy birds - weighing at least 450g i.e. almost half a kilo; (2) Racing pigeons fly in flocks, which, in the case of pigeon races may involve 30,000 birds. Flocks cause multiple bird strikes i.e. where several or many birds strike an aircraft. This in turn increases the risk of a bird or birds entering the jet engine. Most commercial jets (e.g. Boeing 737, 777, Airbus A320, A330) have two very large diameter engine intakes, so the risk of birds entering both engines increases when a flock strikes the aircraft; (3) Racing pigeons travel at speeds of up to 70 mph, which means that there may be insufficient time for pilots and or birds to take evasive action thus increasing the risk of collision; (4) Racing pigeons fly at low altitudes of the order of 300ft and therefore if a collision occurs it happens as the aircraft is at a critical phase of flight having either just taken off or when it is about to land; In addition, racing pigeons do not usually respond to conventional bird control measures at airports and as they are wild animals, their behavior is predictable only to a limited extent.

    Draft Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy - Southern Region Submission from Wexford County Council 0 P a g e | 1 Wexford County Council P a g e | 2 Executive Summary Wexford County Council (WCC) welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Draft Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES). WCC make the following suggestions to the RSES which would see a much improved and strengthened strategy to the benefit of the whole region. WCC welcomes the holistic objectives which form the strategy outlined in Section 2.2 and consider that they will positively influence the sustainable development of the region. The RSES would benefit from a more defined strategy which clearly outlines the dynamics of the strategy. This section should be explicit in stating what the strategy is and how it will achieve its vision and deliver effective regional development to the benefit of the whole region. This should be accompanied by a clearly identified, named and graphically illustrated Spatial Strategy, Economic Strategy and Settlement Hierarchy1. It should provide a vision and strategy for each of the components of the region; the Southern Region, each Strategic Planning Area, the three Metropolitan Areas, each county, the Key Towns, other towns and villages, rural areas and Networks. The strategy needs to clearly address and plan for the mechanisms by which the MASPs will drive the development of the region. WCC request that the key principle of ‘tackling legacies’ in urban centres is expanded to include tackling legacies and regional socio-economic disparities in all areas and at all levels of the hierarchy. The theme legacies/disparities should be reflected throughout the RSES, in particular, the sections relating to employment, education and quality of life and it should be linked to URDF/RRDF/DTF/CAF funds.

    8 Infrastructure and Environment

    Kilkenny City &Environs Draft Development Plan 8. Infrastructure & Environment 8 Infrastructure and Environment 8.1 Transport The principal transport aim of Kilkenny Borough Council and Kilkenny County Council is to develop an efficient, sustainable and integrated multi-modal transport and communications system facilitating the movement of people, goods and services in the City and Environs. This is essential for the economic and social development of the City, its Environs and the county as a whole. Different types of land uses, by facilitating economic activity, will give rise to demands for travel and transport provision. Equally the provision of transport services will give rise to changes in land uses. In its transport policies and objectives, Kilkenny Borough Council and Kilkenny County Council will seek to reduce the reliance on private motor vehicles and will promote an increased use of public transport, walking and cycling. 8.1.1 Climate Change The Council has had regard to the National Climate Change Strategy (2007-2012) in framing its policies and objectives in this Development Plan and will seek to play its part towards the achievement of the national targets set out in therein. Two principles as espoused in the NSS have been applied to reduce transport-related energy consumption; • The formulation of a settlement strategy which is intended to guide urban and rural settlement patterns and communities to reduce distance from employment, services and leisure facilities and to make use of existing and future investments in public services; including public transport. • Maximising access to, and encouraging use of, public transport, cycling and walking. In addition, the Councils support of renewable technologies and encouragement of more sustainable energy-efficient building methods will further reduce our dependence on non-renewable energy sources.

It was protected through government controls until the early 1980s. However, due to deregulation policy the industry opened to free competition. As a result, collaborations and alliances were formed and low budget airlines were able to enter the market. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to present the current stage of the European airline industry by investigating the strategies of Ryanair and SAS with the help of strategic management tools. Procedure: Two companies were chosen, Ryanair as a low budget airline and SAS as a mature airline. The investigation was based on secondary data found in financial -, annual -, business - and company reports as well as in independent analyst reports and on the Internet.
