  • ACI World AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT NEWS
    Issue 01 – 2012 ACI World AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT NEWS A service provided by ACI World in cooperation with Momberger Airport Information www.mombergerairport.info Editor & Publisher: Martin Lamprecht [email protected] / Founding Editor & Publisher: Manfred Momberger EUROPE Great Britain: Plymouth Airport could become a GBP 25 million to 30 million ‘world-class international gateway’ under plans being worked on by a group of business people campaigning to save it. On 23 December 2011, the Viable group unveiled a vision for the Derriford site which would see the runway extended, a new terminal built, and land turned over for lucrative commercial use. Viable will discuss the plans with Plymouth City Council. The Sutton Harbour Group (SHG), which operates Plymouth on a 150-year-lease from Plymouth City Council, closed the airport on 23 December 2011 saying it is not economically sustainable. But Viable, which opposed the closure, disagrees with the suggestion that Plymouth cannot support a top-class aerodrome. Basing its design on London City Airport, Viable envisages a facility that could eventually handle up to 1 million passengers a year. The phased project would take up to ten years to fully realize, initially seeing the reopening of the airport with restricted operations and limited services. But the group said that after about three years, the operation could be expanded dramatically. Its vision is for the runway to be extended from 1160 m to its maximum 1390 m, so larger aircraft can be welcomed. A runway loop would mean aircraft can wait for take-off slots, diminishing delays. But ahead of this, a simple initial resurfacing of the runway would only cost GBP 500 000, Viable said, a quarter of the expected cost.

Changes to business models and consumer behavior, prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, have compressed many years’ worth of transformation and digitization into the space of several months. More people and more businesses around the world have access to real-time payments in more forms than ever before. Real-time payments have been truly democratized, several years earlier than previously expected. Central infrastructures were already making swift For consumers, low-value real-time payments mean Regardless of whether real-time schemes are initially progress towards this goal before the pandemic immediate funds availability when sending and conceived to cater to consumer or business needs, intervened, having established and enhanced real- receiving money.

Members, I must begin by acknowledging our late start and apologising for that. There are two matters which I would like to comment on. First of all, it is to say to Hon. Members, in relation to the information which is to be supplied to questions raised during the debate, that having looked at what is required of us in relation to dissemination of the questions, of the answers to the questions raised, we are proposing that the answers be disseminated by way of soft copy and that hard copy be provided to the questioner. It is proving financially laborious. It will prove that way if we were to supply hard copies of all the answers to all the questions to every Hon. Member in this House. I repeat, we will provide the questioner with the hard copy 1 and to all other Hon. Members we will supply soft copies of the answers. I hope that will prove satisfactory to Hon. Members. Secondly, Hon. Members, the two Chief Whips and I have had a conversation on the progress of our work.

  • Travel Information
    Travel Information Visa To enter Indonesia, you are required to possess a passport valid for at least six months from the date of arrival and have proof of return or onward ticketing. Most tourists can obtain a Visa on Arrival (VOA), costs are US$35 for a 30 day stay, or US$15 for a 7 day stay. For some countries there is an additional visa fee. Payment is by cash at the immigration desk upon arrival at the International Bali or Jakarta airport. For some countries this visa-on-arrival does not apply, and people need to apply for a tourist visa in their country of origin before traveling. We highly recommend that you contact your local Indonesian Consulate or Embassy to check requirements for travelers of your nationality and/or passport that you will be traveling on. Vaccinations Please get advice from your local medical center. For some parts of Indonesia malaria prophylactics are recommended as well as booster injections for intestinal diseases and hepatitis A and B. While onboard the Seven Seas, we ensure you will run no risk of "traveler's diseases" as the food is prepared with a high degree of hygiene and all the drinking water comes from bottles. Please ensure your medical insurance covers your vacation. Currency, Cards, Cash The local currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Most hotels and restaurants in Bali accept credit cards, but it's always helpful to have some local currency to hand. On Bali there are plenty of ATM cash machines that service most foreign bank cards, most common are those servicing cards with the Cirrus and Maestro logos.
