  • Nevada-California, USA November 2014
    Nevada-California, USA November 2014 While the end of 2014 was approaching, I still had about ten vacation days left. Therefore I decided to spent these on a spotting trip. I teamed up with fellow reader EC and we agreed that the south-western part of the United States would be a great place to visit. The chances of finding nice airplanes and good weather in this part of the world are rather high, even at the end of November. We decided to spend three days in Las Vegas and then drive to southern California, where we would spend almost a full week. The primary focus would be on photographing airliners and fire fighting aircraft, but some number crunching was done as well (although most logs below are not complete). Please note that all mm’s mentioned apply to a 1.5 crop factor camera and all aircraft are only noted once per airport. On the morning of Wednesday 19 November Eddy and I met at Schiphol at approximately 8 AM. There we learned that our flight to Houston was delayed for several hours. Fortunately United Airlines rebooked us on flight UA908 to Chicago. 19 November 2014 Schiphol EHAM G-FBEI Embraer 195LR Flybe LZ-FBE Airbus A320-200 Bulgaria Air N14121 Boeing 757-200 United Airlines N652UA Boeing 767-300ER United Airlines YU-APJ Airbus A319-100 Air Serbia A few planes were noted before boarding the 22-year-old Boeing 767. The flight to Chicago was uneventful in my opinion. However some other passengers complained about the cabin temperature and as a result all passengers received an 100 USD online voucher, to be spent on United Airlines flights with in the next year.

    61 far from solution. The difficulties of acquiring land and financing for this costly project appeared overwhelming. Mean- while, fuel tankers continued to make their noisy take-offs over Honolulu. The airport hoped there would be a technical development that would eliminate the need for this flight path. Highlights July 1, 1962 The Hawaii Visitors Information Program was established to welcome passengers at Honolulu International Airport and Honolulu Harbor, to encourage travel to the Neighbor Islands, and to provide information and other help to airport and harbor visitors. As of June 30, 1963, the staff of the HVIP consisted of 33 full-time and nine part-time employees. July 10, 1962 The widening of Taxiway X and restoration of P Road with a crossing over a new drainage ditch was com- pleted at a cost of $113,463.82. July 22, 1962 The Empress of Lima, a four-engine Britannia jet turboprop, crashed at 11:19 p.m. and burned while making an approach to Runway 8 on the Hickam Field portion of the airport. Twenty-seven persons were killed and 13 survived. It was the worst civil air carrier accident in the Islands’ history. The Air Force Fire Department acted promptly to minimize loss of life. Personnel of the Airport, Navy and City and County assisted in fighting the fire, maintaining order, and pro- viding ambulances and other services. The crash dramatically showed the need for continued cooperation between the Air Force and the airport. Several meetings were held after the crash and a number of suggestions developed for further improvement of the pattern for teamwork.

  • Actions Needed to Improve Airline Customer Service and Minimize Long, On-Board Delays
    Before the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Aviation United States House of Representatives For Release on Delivery Expected at 2:00 p.m. EDT Actions Needed To Wednesday September 26, 2007 Improve Airline CC-2007-099 Customer Service and Minimize Long, On-Board Delays Statement of The Honorable Calvin L. Scovel III Inspector General U.S. Department of Transportation Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee: We are pleased to be here today to discuss airline customer service issues and the actions needed from the Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), airlines, and airports to minimize long, on-board delays. This hearing is both timely and important given the record-breaking flight delays, cancellations, diversions, and on-board tarmac delays that air travelers have already experienced this year. Based on the first 7 months of the year: • Nearly 28 percent of flights were delayed, cancelled, or diverted—with airlines’ on-time performance at the lowest percentage (72 percent) recorded in the last 10 years. • Not only are there more delays, but also longer delay periods. Of those flights arriving late, passengers experienced a record-breaking average flight arrival delay of 57 minutes, up nearly 3 minutes from 2006. • More than 54,000 flights affecting nearly 3.7 million passengers experienced taxi-in and taxi-out times of 1 to 5 hours or more. This is an increase of nearly 42 percent as compared to the same period in 2006. As you know, Secretary Peters has expressed serious concerns about the airlines’ treatment of passengers during extended ground delays.

Spring Street, Room 455 Los Angeles, CA 90012 Dear Chairman Cardenas: During today's meeting of the Committee on Commerce, Energy and Natural Resources, the agenda includes a discussion of the recommendations contained in the Rand Corporation's report from February 3, 2005 entitled ''Near-Term Options for Improving Security at LAX.. " Like you, members of the Air Transport Association (ATA) 1 are united in our support of creating a safer and more secure LAX that maintains a high degree of customer service. We believe these objectives are not mutually exclusive, but are characteristics that should reflect LAX's standing as the world's number one origin and destination airport. We renew our pledge to work with you, your Committee, Rand and LAWA toward the development of cost-justified initiatives which are based on identified risks . When the Rand report was released last year, ATA made public statements expressing the industry's reservations with several of the report's recommendations. We continue to be concerned with the report's focus on staffmg requirements as a means of achieving greater security at LAX when in fact there are certain facility and TSA policy constraints that require greater attention in pursuit of the overall goal. We are hopeful that these 1 The members of the Association are: ABX Air, Alaska Airlines, Aloha Airlines, American Airlines, Astar Air Cargo, AT A Airlines, Atlas Air, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Evergreen International Airlines, Federal Express Corp., Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways, , Midwest Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Polar Air Cargo, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, United Parcel Service, and US Airways; associate members are: Aeromexico, Air Canada, Air Jamaica, and Mexicana de Aviaci6n.
