  • FBO Survey 2021: Rest of the World
    FBO SURVEY RULES AND METHODOLOGY This report on AIN’s FBO survey covers fixed-base opera- tions in the Rest of the World. History AIN has been conducting surveys since 1981, asking about the ser- vice that FBOs provide their customers and reporting the results from these annual surveys. Initially, we sent out a paper survey questionnaire by mail to qualified subscribers in the U.S.—pilots, flight attendants, and dispatchers—the people who use or make arrangements with FBOs. In later years, qualified subscribers in the remainder of North America and the rest of the world were added to the survey. In 2006 we moved the FBO survey online. We have continued to add FBOs each year and now offer respondents a comprehensive list of 4,500 FBOs worldwide. The Survey The FBO Survey site allows subscribers to keep a list of personal- ized FBOs and from this list they can easily change or affirm a prior rating and leave an updated comment. The scores in this report and on our website reflect the cumu- lative average of scores from 2014 through today. Only the most PART 2 recent rating of an FBO is counted on a per-user basis and only FBOs that have received 20 or more ratings are eligible for their scores to be published. We did see slightly reduced feedback this year due to FBO Survey 2021: Rest of the World the COVID-19 pandemic as many readers informed us they had not flown nearly as much as they had during the prior survey period.

  • Costa Smeralda: Lng Propulsion Tests Passed Successfully
    Costa Smeralda: Lng Propulsion Tests Passed Successfully November 25, 2019 The new flagship has completed sea trials using liquefied natural gas, an innovation in the sector that can guarantee a significant reduction in environmental impact. The first cruise will depart from Savona on December 21, 2019. Genoa, November 25, 2019 - Costa Smeralda has successfully passed the technical sea trials carried out with liquefied natural gas (LNG), the cleanest fossil fuel in the world, which represents a real innovation in the cruise industry. The Costa Smeralda is in fact the second cruise ship in the world, after AIDAnova, which is also part of the Costa Group fleet, to use this fuel, both in port and at sea, which guarantees a low environmental impact. LNG enables the virtual total elimination of sulfur dioxide emissions and particulate matter, and a significant reduction of nitrogen oxide and CO2. During the sea trials, which began on Saturday 16 November, the ship carried out a series of tests to verify the correct operation of systems, equipment and engines with LNG propulsion. “The fueling of cruise ships with LNG is an innovation in which we were the first to believe five years ago, when we ordered the Costa Smeralda, setting an example for the sector which has since been followed by other companies. It is a safe and reliable technology, which is currently the most effective and feasible solution to ensure a significant reduction in the environmental impact of cruise ships in port and at sea”. - declared Neil Palomba, President of Costa Cruises. Once the sea trials were finished, the ship returned to the Meyer shipyard in Turku, Finland, to complete the interior layout.
