Washington Aviation Summary I. REGULATORY NEWS 1. IATA: Industry Painted with Hue of a Very Regrettable Incident. Videos went viral of a passenger being violently dragged from a United flight at O’Hare by Chicago Aviation Department police, because he refused to give up his seat. And, said Alexandre de Juniac, Director General and CEO of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), headlines began painting “an entire industry with the hue of a single and very regrettable incident.” Questions have been raised about passenger rights, denied boarding procedures, actions of local law enforcement, and overbooking practices, noted de Juniac, but “the best results will not come out of angry, knee•jerk responses that seek resolution in 140 characters, or a newspaper comment piece written before the entire incident has revealed itself. If there is something in this incident that requires changes at an industry level the next step is a robust dialogue.” . The Department of Transportation (DOT) said it is reviewing the United Express Flight 3411 event, and launched a microsite for consumers, “Got Flights? Know Your Rights.” . In initial apologies, United CEO Oscar Munoz said fares would be refunded to all passengers on the flight and enumerated immediate actions to follow “this truly horrific event.” The airline later issued a formal “Review and Action Report” (see Section X). United Continental Holdings said Munoz will not become Chairman as planned, and compensation for senior executives will be tied to progress in improving the customer experience. Members of Congress ordered Munoz and DOT to provide detailed reports of the incident, scheduled hearings and introduced new passenger protection bills (see Section VI). The Chicago Aviation Department officers who were called in by the airline to forcibly remove the passenger were placed on administrative leave. And the passenger, who suffered a concussion, a broken nose and the loss of two teeth, settled out of court with the airline for an undisclosed sum. 2. Federal Government Hiring Freeze Ends. The Administration replaced a January 23 government hiring freeze with guidance to “reorganize federal agencies and reduce wasteful or duplicative functions.” Agencies are to achieve near-term workforce reductions and cost savings and submit a draft plan by June 30. 3. FAA ARAC to Act as Regulatory Reform Task Force. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) tasked its Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC) with evaluating whether any existing regulations should be repealed, replaced or modified, to comply with a February Executive Kirstein & Young PLLC / Attorneys at Law May 2017 — Page 1 Washington Aviation Summary Order. Criteria are those that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; impose costs that exceed benefits; or create serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with regulatory reform initiatives and policies. Initial recommendations are due June 1. 4. DOT Reports 2016 Air Fares Down 8.5%. The average 2016 inflation-adjusted fare of $349 was down 8.5% from $382 in 2015, the lowest since 2009, and down 26.1% from the all-time annual high of $472 in 2000, reported DOT. Unadjusted, the 2016 average fare of $349 was up 12.5% from the post-recession low of $310 in 2009, but down 10.9% from the peak of $392 in 2014. In recent years, airlines have obtained additional revenue from fees charged to passengers, and from other sources. U.S. passenger airlines collected 74.7% of total revenue from passenger fares during third quarter 2016, down from 87.6% in 1995; third-quarter data are the most recent available. 5. DOT Air Travel Consumer Report for February. Based on data filed by largest reporting carriers; tarmac data filed by all carriers. Feb. Jan.

Kirstein & Young PLLC / Attorneys at Law May 2017 — Page 2 Washington Aviation Summary II. AIRPORTS 1. ACI: Traffic at World’s 20 Busiest Hubs Up 4.7% in 2016. Traffic at the world’s 20 busiest hubs grew 4.7% in 2016, according to ACI preliminary estimates; with over 1.4 billion passengers, this group represents 18% of global passenger traffic. Atlanta remained the world’s busiest airport, with 104 million passengers, 2.6% more than 2015, followed again by Beijing and Dubai. Los Angeles moved from 7th to 4th rank, with 8% growth. Tokyo Haneda, in 5th place, saw growth of 5.5%. The world’s airports saw total passenger growth of 5.6%. Delhi and Doha, the 21st and 50th busiest airports, each achieved growth of over 20%. Cargo markets revived in second half 2016. Hong Kong remained the world’s largest air cargo hub, followed by Memphis and Shanghai Pudong. Doha moved from 20th to 16th rank with a jump of 20.8% in air cargo volumes. 2. St. Louis Lambert Accepted into FAA Airport Privatization Program. FAA accepted the City of St. Louis’s preliminary application for Lambert International to participate in the Airport Privatization Pilot Program. Lambert is the second medium hub airport to join the program. The announcement “demonstrates the Administration’s commitment to leveraging innovative financing strategies to revitalize our nation’s aviation infrastructure,” said DOT Secretary Elaine Chao. “As we’ve already seen in San Juan, this approach to airport management increases productivity, revenue and operating efficiency for airports, creating greater access to capital for infrastructure needs.” With the approval of Lambert Airport, the city may select a private operator to manage the airport, negotiate an agreement, and submit a final application to FAA for approval. “The privatization pilot program was designed to encourage innovative financing solutions, and we’re pleased that an increasing number of airport operators are participating,” said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. 3. Construction Begins on $1.6 Billion LAX Midfield Satellite Concourse. Construction of the 750,000 square-foot Midfield Satellite Concourse (MSC) at Los Angeles International has begun. The $1.6 billion, five-level facility will include 12 new gates, dining and retail space and a 1,000-foot-long underground pedestrian tunnel with moving walkways connecting to the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT). Buses will also be used to transport passengers between the concourse and other LAX terminals. Construction preparations entailed relocation of the airport’s rotating beacon, fiber communication infrastructure and FAA equipment to other parts of the airfield, and demolition of a former Trans World Airlines hangar. Opening is expected Kirstein & Young PLLC / Attorneys at Law May 2017 — Page 3 Washington Aviation Summary at end of 2019, said Deborah Flint, CEO of Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA). Delta is relocating from Terminals 5 and 6 to Terminals 2 and 3, where it is planning improvements valued at up to $1.9 billion over the next seven years. A total of 28 airlines are affected by the realignment, which began in January when American swapped four gates in Terminal 6 for four gates held by Delta in Terminal 5. After the move, Delta will operate 23 gates alongside partners including Aeromexico, Virgin Atlantic and WestJet. Delta has proposed a facility connecting to TBIT

NORTHWEST AIRLINES 1926-2010 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ THE QUEEN OF THE SKIES Personal Retrospectives by Robert DuBert It's hard to believe that they are gone. Can it be possible that it was 50 years ago this September that this aircraft made its first public appearance? Are we really all so, ahem, elderly that we Photo: True Brand, courtesy Vincent Carrà remember 1968 as if it were yesterday? This plane had its origins in 1964, when Boeing began work on a proposal for the C-5A large military airlifter contract, and after Lockheed won that contest, Boeing considered a commercial passenger version as a means of salvaging the program. Urged on by Pan Am president Juan Trippe, Boeing in 1965 assigned a team headed by Chief Engineer Joe Sutter to design a large new airliner, although Boeing at the time was really more focused on its supersonic transport (SST) program. A launch customer order from Pan Am on April 13, 1966 for twenty five aircraft pushed Sutter's program into high gear, and in a truly herculian effort, Joe Sutter and his Boeing team, dubbed “The Incredibles,” brought the program from inception on paper to the public unveiling of a finished aircraft in the then unheard of time of 29 months. We're talking, of course, about the legendary and incomparable Boeing 747. THE ROLLOUT It was a bright, sunny morning on Monday, Sept.

  • Statement of Tom Williams, President of the Meridian Airport Authority, To
    Statement of Tom Williams, President of the Meridian Airport Authority, to the Subcommittee on Aviation of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation field hearing: July 27, 2004 My name is Tom Williams and I’m the President of the Meridian Airport Authority. I’ve run the Meridian Regional Airport since 1986. While my comments specifically relate to Meridian, I believe our experiences are representative of small airports nationwide. The turbulence of deregulation still affects most of us; however our Small Community Air Service Development Grant has helped us overcome some of these remaining effects. Key Field was home to the Key Brothers who, in 1935 set the world flight endurance record from our airport by flying 653 hours without landing. Today we are home to the 155 Company G Army Aviation support group, presently flying their Chinook helicopters in Iraq, the 186th Air Refueling Wing, three daily Atlantic Southeast Airlines (ASA) jet flights to Atlanta and 45 based general aviation aircraft. The Meridian Regional Airport, Key Field, is financially self sufficient. We collect some $550,000 per year from leases, rents and fees and spend this amount on operations and non-grant eligible capital projects. Remaining capital requirements are funded through the AIP program with matching funds from the State of Mississippi and Passenger Facility Charge. Outside of our Small Community Air Service Grant, we do not have funds for marketing and air service development. The airport is operated with four employees, two are administrative and two are grounds and building maintenance. City of Meridian police provide security while the Mississippi Air National Guard provides our firefighting requirement.

AIRLINE MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND BANKRUPTCIES: WILL THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT SURVIVE? JONNI WALLS I. INTRODUCTION AIRLINE DEREGULATION has produced a record number of mergers and bankruptcies in the airline in- dustry, turning the industry into a "national oligopoly."' Since deregulation, over 200 scheduled carriers have gone out of business, mainly because of mergers, acquisi- tions and bankruptcies. 2 As a result, the top eight carri- ers control over 90 percent of the market. Since 1978 more than 120 airlines have filed various types of bank- ruptcy proceedings.' The flurry of merger activity that began almost immediately upon enactment of deregula- tion 5 continues to be extremely vigorous. Between 1985 and 1987 over twenty-five mergers took place, and 1986 1 P.

  • Planes Versus Passengers: Effects of Airline Alliances on Traffic and Seats
    Planes versus Passengers: Effects of Airline Alliances on Traffic and Seats Attiat F. Ott 1 and Oswaldo J. Patino 2 1. Introduction A New York Times’ article “Airlines Find a Cruising Speed” by Jad Monawad (October 9, 2010, pp.B1-B2), presented data which purports to show that airlines have embraced a practice that would put their planes on Furlough. In doing so, airlines are able to weather the effects of recessions and oil price shocks. The author presented data covering the period 2000-2010 documenting this trend—fewer total flights, with an expansion in flights load factor by more than 17 percent. The outcome is not unexpected: rising air fares, congestion at terminals with little if any empty seats. The grounding of planes to fill seats to capacity is but another way for airlines, especially domestic airlines to stay afloat. The deregulation of the US Airlines Industry in the 1970’s eliminated government control over fares, routes and market entry. With deregulation, entry accelerated and fares reduced especially for long distance travel. In 1978, airline profits reached record levels. This rosy outlook did not last. The 1979 oil crisis hit the airline industry hard by raising fuel costs. This adverse effect on airline profitability was further magnified by a slump in air traffic 1 Attiat F.

Some airlines faced bankruptcy, others ceased operations altogether.

  • POST-MERGER SENIORITY RIGHTS in the AIRLINE INDUSTRY I. The
    Chapter 9 POST-MERGER SENIORITY RIGHTS IN THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY I. The Evolution of Employee Seniority Integration Rights in United States Airline Mergers Daniel M. Katz1 The airline industry has long been critical to the vital interests of the United States from an economic and strategic standpoint. In 2009, according to the Air Transport Association, the airlines themselves generated $155 billion in revenues and provided more than 500,000 jobs.2 And the transportation of passengers and cargo by air represents the glue that holds commerce together in the United States, while the fleets maintained by the airlines service the military’s needs during times of war and carry the U.S. mail every day of the year. Airline mergers, acquisitions, and similar corporate transactions require governmental approval and historically were allowed only when they served the public interest. Today such deals abound as the airlines jockey for positions of strength (and for survival) in a highly competitive, global marketplace. Labor strife can dilute or destroy the public and corporate benefits sought in these transac- tions.
