Because Technology Applications and Initiatives there is no such thing as a perfect research study and no single research Travel Advertising and Marketing source can have all the answers. Moreover, a careful evaluation and Total Travel Market: weighting of multiple sources will inevitably yield a more accurate picture Size and Growth than any single source could possibly provide. Online Travel Market Travel Segments Traveler Demographics & Preferences The eMarketer Difference Index of Charts eMarketer does not conduct primary research, it therefore has no testing technique to defend, no research bias and no client contracts to protect. eMarketer prepares each market report using a four-step process of aggregating, filtering, organizing and analyzing data from leading research sources worldwide. Aggregate Analyze Filter Organize ©2001 eMarketer, Inc. www.eMarketer.com Using the Internet and accessing a library of electronically-filed research reports and studies, the eMarketer research team first aggregates publicly available e-business data from hundreds of global research and consultancy firms. This comparative source information is then filtered and organized into tables, charts and graphs. Finally, eMarketer analysts provide concise and insightful analysis of the facts and figures along with their own estimates and projections. As a result, each set of findings reflects the collected wisdom of numerous research firms and industry analysts. “I think eMarketer reports are extremely useful and set the highest standards for high quality, objective compilation of often wildly disparate sources of data. I rely on eMarketer’s research reports as a solid and trusted source.” — Professor Donna L. Hoffman, Co-Director, eLab, Vanderbilt University 8 ©2003 eMarketer, Inc.

  • Tracing Terrorists: the EU-Canada Agreement in PNR Matters
    Tracing Terrorists: The EU-Canada Agreement in PNR Matters CEPS Special Report/September 2008 Revised version 17.11.2008 Peter Hobbing Abstract Enhancing border security in support of the global ‘war against terrorism’ is very much in vogue these days, in particular as regards the control of air passengers. Seven years after 9/11, this trend is yet unbroken. While the build-up of defences occurs in most cases at the one-sided expense of civil liberties, the EU-Canada Agreement of 2005 is different: quite justly, it holds the reputation of a well-balanced instrument respecting the interests of citizens. Still, instead of serving as a model for future instruments, the Agreement rather runs the risk of being scrapped at the next possible occasion. A close look at the passenger name record (PNR) ‘mainstream’, as embodied by the EU-US branch of transatlantic relations with four Agreements rapidly succeeding between 2004 and 2008, reveals the opposite tendency away from data protection and towards an unconditional tightening of controls. This report undertakes to examine the doubtful benefits of such an approach by assessing the price to pay inter alia for ‘false positive’ mismatches and other collateral damages, while the actual achievement of a higher degree of public security remains very much in the dark, mostly owing to the impossibility of making all borders 100% secure. As a result, no critical reason emerges for taking leave of the good practices established by the EU-Canada instrument. This work was prepared as part of the EU–Canada project – The Changing Landscape of Justice and Home Affairs Cooperation in the European Union and EU–Canada Relations – funded by the European Commission, Directorate-General for External Relations, Relations with the US and Canada.

SEBASTIÁ SERRA BUSQUETS CATEDRÀTIC D'HISTÒRIA CONTEMPORÀNIA PARA OPTAR AL TÍTULO DE DOCTOR EN HISTORIA CURSO ACADÉMICO 2013/2014 Martín Bintaned Ara 2 Historia de la aviación comercial Resumen Esta tesis doctoral investiga acerca de la aportación de la aviación comercial a la historia contemporánea, en particular por su impacto en las relaciones exteriores de los países, su papel facilitador en la actividad económica internacional y por su contribución al desarrollo del turismo de masas. La base de trabajo ha sido el análisis de la prensa especializada, a partir de la cual se han identificado los casos innovadores. Gracias al análisis de su origen (tecnológico, geo- político, aero-político, corporativo, de producto y en la infraestructura) y a su contextualización, hemos podido trazar la historia de la aviación comercial desde su origen en 1919 hasta nuestros días. Palabras clave: Historia contemporánea, Aviación comercial, Política aérea, Relaciones internacionales, Turismo, Innovación, Aerolíneas, Aeropuertos Abstract This doctoral thesis analyses the contribution of commercial aviation to the contemporary history, particularly in the field of external relations, international economy and mass tourism. We have identified all innovations with a structural impact on the industry through specialised press, considering the changes on technology, geopolitics, aeropolitics, business models, product and services, and infrastructure. This methodology has allowed us to write the history of the commercial aviation since its origin in 1919.

  • Air Transport
    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.

  • 2013 Annual Report
    2013 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Fellow Shareholders: 2013 was a record-breaking year for JetBlue as we delivered strong financial results. Specifically, we: ✓✓Carried over 30 million customers and generated record revenues of over $5 billion ✓✓Grew net income by 31% year over year to an annual record of $168 million, our fifth consecutive year of profitability ✓✓Generated over $120 million of positive free cash flow These strong results were reflected in our stock price, which increased nearly 50% during 2013, outpacing the S&P 500. Our Mission and Strategy JetBlue began serving customers over 14 years ago with a mission of “bringing humanity back to air travel.” We remain committed to this mission, which has evolved to “inspire humanity.” We seek to be innovative and nimble, adapting our products and services to meet our customers’ ever changing needs – which we believe we can serve better than our competitors. There are two well-established business models in the airline industry: low cost carriers who target price- sensitive travelers and network carriers with global networks. JetBlue’s core customer base is comprised of leisure and business customers who have been underserved by these airlines. Underserved customers include those travelers who are no longer willing to be ‘nickel and dimed’ by the ultra-low cost carriers and business travelers making several trips a year who aren’t rewarded for their loyalty on network carriers. By maintaining an unwavering focus on underserved customers – an expanding demographic by virtue of industry consolidation – we believe we’ve extended our position as the carrier of choice for these targeted customers in the markets we serve.

  • Jblu2008annual-Report.Pdf
    2008 Dear Fellow Shareholders, 2008 was a challenging year for the airline industry as high fuel prices and a weakening economy transformed the landscape. Fuel prices reached record levels, forcing airlines around the world to cease operations, seek financial protection and consolidate. Despite these challenges, 2008 was a successful year for JetBlue. We took action on multiple fronts to manage the impact of high fuel prices and an uncertain economic environment, while continuing to provide our customers with the award-winning product and service we are known for. As a result of these efforts, we led the industry in unit revenue growth throughout the year. Our strong revenue performance, however, did not keep pace with the unprecedented spike in fuel prices, which cost us an additional $400 million compared to 2007. Yet, despite record fuel prices and turmoil in the financial markets, we ended the year with one of the strongest liquidity positions, relative to our size, in the industry. The JetBlue Experience In 2008, we marked the beginning of a new chapter in JetBlue’s history with the opening of our new Terminal 5 facility at JFK Airport. This project, a partnership with the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, involved six years of planning and construction and includes 26 gates, new roadways, a parking structure, and a connector to the AirTrain. As the seventh largest airline in the United States, we are truly excited to be able to offer our customers and our crewmembers a world-class airport experience at our home base of operations. We believe we have a tremendous advantage being based in New York, the largest travel market in the world, and Terminal 5 gives us the opportunity to provide superior customer service on the ground that matches our award-winning experience in the air.
