Many regulatory bodies results in larger airline fleets every year. The aircraft market agreed to limit the environmental impact of this growth by forecast reveals an unprecedented growth for the coming decades, imposing common targets, such as 1) reduction of CO2 leading to serious environmental and economic concerns among emissions for 75% per passenger kilometre, 2) 90% decreasing airlines and regulatory bodies.

However, this is a work in progress and I find that sometimes I miss things, or I may be inconsistent about what makes the cut and what doesn’t.

Before that, they came in an envelope with the newsletter but not attached to it, although in the late '80s there weren't so many and they were bound in the newsletter.
