  • New Objectives of the French High-Speed Rail System Within The
    ERSA-NECTAR special session on High-Speed Rail as a new transport network Ne w objectives of the French high-speed rail system within the framework of a highly centralized network: a substitute for the domestic air transport market? Pierre ZEMBRI Université de Cergy-Pontoise EA 4113 Mobilités, Réseaux, Territoires, Environnement 33, boulevard du Port F-95011 CERGY-PONTOISE CEDEX email : [email protected] Summary Since the beginning of high-speed services in France, the TGV network’s main target has been business traffic using the domestic air transport network. Point-to-point services with the lowest number of intermediate stops have been the preferred solution. SNCF can be considered as an active player in the rail/air transport competition, given that it offers rapid travel times, competitive prices and considerable carrying capacities. Frequencies can be high between the largest towns: 16 round-trip services between Paris and Marseilles (840 km, 190 minutes1), 21 between Paris and Bordeaux (620 km, 190 minutes), etc. ID-TGV, a low-cost subsidiary, has also been created. Operating on selected routes, it provides a good level of on- board services as well as some interesting innovations. The development of high-speed lines has created new competition opportunities between the TGV, Air France and other carriers. This partially explains the relative weakness of competition within the domestic air transport sector: even a low-cost carrier like EasyJet tries to avoid competition on routes where the average travel time of the TGV is lower than 3.5 hours. Air France is now planning to progressively downsize its services on routes where the TGV’s market share is increasing: specific point-to-point services to/from Orly Airport will be closed and, by 2016, only a few feeder lines to/from the CDG-Roissy hub will remain.

    RASG-MID/6-WP/15 17/08/2017 International Civil Aviation Organization Regional Aviation Safety Group - Middle East Sixth Meeting (RASG-MID/6) (Bahrain, 26-28 September 2017) Agenda Item 3: Regional Performance Framework for Safety SMS IMPLEMENTATION BY AIR OPERATORS (Presented by IATA) SUMMARY This paper provides the status of SMS implementation by Air operators registered in MID States and provides recommendation for the way forward to complete SMS implementation. Action by the meeting is at paragraph 3. REFERENCES - SST-3 Meeting Report 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Currently, implementation of safety management at the Service Provider level is variable, and is proving challenging to put in place the system as intended by Annex 19. 1.2 The MID-SST was established to support the RASG-MID Steering Committee (RSC) in the development, monitoring and implementation of Safety Enhancement Initiatives (SEIs) related to identified safety issues, including implementation of State Safety Programs (SSP) and Safety Management Systems (SMS). 2. DISCUSSION 2.1 The Third meeting of the MID Safety Support Team (MID-SST/3) held in Abu Dhabi, UAE, 10-13, recognized the need to monitor the status of SMS implementation by air operators, maintenance organizations and training organizations involved in flight training; in order to take necessary actions to overcome the challenges faced and to improve safety. 2.2 In this regard, the meeting agreed that IATA with the support of the ICAO MID Office will provide feedback and a plan of actions to address SMS implementation by air operators. RASG-MID/6-WP/15 - 2 - 2.3 The meeting may wish to note that Safety Management Systems (SMS) is an integral part of the IOSA program.

Throughout 2016, EGYPTAIR faced various challenges that impacted the operating and financial performance of the group. Looking at this year’s (2015/2016) figures in context of the liquidity challenges the company achieved total revenue 17.912 billion. As for Revenue Passenger Km, it hit 17.442 billion with an annual total of 8.51m. We operate 220 daily departures, serving 72 airports in 47 countries. Rather than aiming directly for growth we are currently going through restructuring and implementing a turnaround strategy to ensure the right resources, processes and plans are in place to optimize areas as ( Pricing and revenue management, Network planning, Crew management,…) Fleet renewal plan has been conducted aiming to yield significant economies in terms of fuel and maintenance.
