This has resulted from the movement of both parties in the same direction, toward the mainstream middle.” Airline Business, May 2009 (emphasis added).

Roland Conrady, Frank Fichert, Richard Klophaus – European LCCs going hybrid - The Hague, April 14, 2011 4 Aim of the paper It is examined • to what extent carriers today blend low-cost characteristics with the business characteristics of traditional full-service airlines, and • which characteristics remain distinct between LCCs and traditional full-service airlines and which tend to be common for all carriers.

    Prior compliance list of aircraft operators specifying the administering Member State for each aircraft operator – June 2014 Inclusion in the prior compliance list allows aircraft operators to know which Member State will most likely be attributed to them as their administering Member State so they can get in contact with the competent authority of that Member State to discuss the requirements and the next steps. Due to a number of reasons, and especially because a number of aircraft operators use services of management companies, some of those operators have not been identified in the latest update of the EEA- wide list of aircraft operators adopted on 5 February 2014.

  • Qatar to Introduce All Nonstop Flights to Zagreb and Sofia Stop to Belgrade
    Qatar to introduce all nonstop flights to Zagreb and Sofia stop to Belgrade Qatar Airways will be modifying its services to the former Yugoslavia next year with changes in operations to both its Zagreb Croatia and Belgrade Serbia flights. The Qatari carrier, which launched services from Doha to Zagreb via Budapest in 2012, will now operate all of its flights to the Croatian capital nonstop. A total of five weekly rotations are planned starting March 1, 2015, down from the current seven, with four flights presently operating via the Hungarian capital and decreasing to three from December 14. As a result, Zagreb Airport will no longer be linked to Budapest. Qatar Airways holds fifth freedom rights between Budapest and Zagreb and vice versa, which allows the airline to sell tickets on the short segment as well. It will be the first time since the demise of Malev Hungarian Airlines two years ago that there will be no links between the two capital cities. The Hungarian carrier operated up to eighteen weekly flights on the route at the time of its collapse. Qatar’s nonstop flights to Zagreb, which were launched prior to the start of the 2014/15 winter season, are a testament to the route’s success since it was inaugurated just over two years ago. Flights to the Croatian capital have proved popular with tourists transiting through Doha from the Far East. Furthermore, the route also provides good connections for passengers heading from Zagreb to South East Asia and Australia. Earlier, the CEO of Qatar Airways, Akbar Al Baker, said, “Whether it’s Bangkok, Dubai, Shanghai or Manila, our seamless connections from Zagreb to the East, via our Doha hub, will provide holidaymakers and business travellers from Croatia with a wider network of destinations to choose from”.
