Countless high value items—stolen antiques, endangered species, weapons, among other illegal items—have made it between countries in the past via planes without questions from authorities. The practice still exists clandestinely especially in terms of illegal poaching with international bodies pointing out the crime valued at about USD20 billion annually. The difference is that these days the ethical transportation of goods, especially that of wildlife and endangered species, are given due importance. In this edition, we look at Cargolux Airlines, which like other major global cargo carriers, have made a pledge to protect animal rights by refusing the so-called hunting trophies.

    Press Information Kit August ’19

    Press Information Kit August ’19 About Virgin Atlantic Since it was founded in 1984, Virgin Atlantic Airways has become one of the world’s leading airlines serving the world’s major cities. Virgin Atlantic is the quintessential Virgin story. It has every ingredient: the small newcomer taking on the giant and complacent establishment, the people’s champion introducing better service and lower costs for passengers with a reputation for quality and innovative product development. Virgin Atlantic was developed as an offshoot of Richard Branson’s Virgin Group, which was better known at the time in the world of pop and rock music. In early 1984, Branson was contacted by an Anglo-US lawyer called Randolph Fields with a proposal for involvement in a new airline. Recognising that, like the music business, aviation was a consumer led industry, and tired of the conveyor belt attitude to passengers, Branson decided it was time for Virgin to diversify. His fellow directors thought he was mad – particularly when he announced the new airline would begin operating in just over three months. On 22 June 1984 Virgin’s inaugural flight to Newark took place, a flight filled with friends, celebrities and the media. The airline’s aim was simple: “To provide the highest quality innovative service at excellent value for money for all classes of air travellers”. Hugely popular, Virgin Atlantic has won top business, consumer and trade awards from around the world. The airline has pioneered a range of innovations setting new standards of service. Despite Virgin Atlantic’s growth the service still remains customer driven with an emphasis on value for money, quality, fun and innovation.

  • Aviation Scenario in Today's World

    Aviation Scenario in Today's World

    Aviation Scenario in Today’s World With over 3000 jetliners on backlog and over 800 delivered in 2004, all signs indicate that we are just pass the high point of the jetliner “boom” in the classic boom/bust order cycle. But this has been a very unusual boom. For one thing, 2003 was expected to be a recovery year, not a peak year. With well over 650 orders it turned into a peak year although 2004 matched it with over 700 orders. And then to use an overused metaphor it just kept going like an Energizer Bunny—2005 has already passed 2004 in orders within a 7 month period and with major orders from the likes of Virgin Atlantic Airlines, Emirates, Qantas, Singapore Airlines and Gulf Air still expected to come, 2005 could well be the peak year for orders placed in Commercial Aviation History. Yet this cycle looks different. Airlines dint really queue up to place orders, rather manufacturing giants Airbus and Boeing pounded the pavement, aggressively selling aircrafts at a discount. In 2003, the leasing companies began to replace actual airlines in the order’s book—about 30% of the backlog now compromises lesser, who are essentially buying planes in the hope that the market will continue to grow. Jetliner pricing has been extremely soft with the list prices of both Boeing and Airbus remaining frozen from 2002-2004, the first time this has happened in a decade. In 2005 both manufacturer’s announced that they are raising list prices but list prices have become irrelevant. Anecdotal evidence suggests rampant discount pricing with rumors of as low prices as 80 million dollars for the Airbus 330s that were bought by North West Airlines which are listed at 240 million a piece.

    Sustainable Aviation – Progress Report 2009

    Sustainable Aviation Progress Report ‘09 1. Foreword A perspective from the Stakeholder Panel We welcome the opportunity to engage with the Council and members of Sustainable Aviation, and hope that we can add benefit to the initiative by highlighting the needs of stakeholders, our priorities and challenges. As the Panel has been set up only recently, we note the positive developments outlined in this progress report, and the ongoing efforts of signatories to meet the commitments in a timely way. While the focus will remain on building upon these efforts, we also look forward to discussing how the full potential of a cross- sectoral strategy can be realised by maximising co-operation between sectors and companies. Few environmental issues can be resolved in isolation, and Sustainable Aviation is ideally placed to promote interaction and joint initiatives between signatories, removing any obstacles to implementation and making further progress towards the strategy's objectives. Stakeholder Panel members at the time of preparation of this report were: Tim Johnson, Aviation Environment Federation; Professor Piers Forster, Leeds University; Roger Gardner, Omega1; Martin Capstick and Peter Griffiths, Department for Transport. 1 Omega is an independent, publicly funded, body that works closely with those at the frontline of the aviation community – ranging from industry, to government through to non-governmental organisations – to explore solutions that are practical and deliverable.
