  • India-Tajikistan Bilateral Relations
    India-Tajikistan Bilateral Relations Relations between India and Tajikistan have traditionally been close and cordial. There has been a regular exchange of high level visits and important agreements, which helped in cementing the relations. During the visit of Tajik President to India in September 2012, the two countries declared their relationship to ‘Strategic Partnership’ encompassing cooperation in a wide spectrum of areas including political, economic, education, health, human resource development, defence, counter-terrorism, science and technology, culture and tourism. The Tajik side points out that the Tajik version of such declaration reads “strategic cooperation” and not partnership. During the preparation to the State visit of President Shri Ram Nath Kovind the Tajik side proposed that we could negotiate a strategic partnership agreement to sign. 2.

Page 28 Concept Introduction: Air passes have been used for over three decades by the airline and travel industries to facilitate travel within regions by offering a block of several one-way flights at a discount compared to buying the same flights separately. They are typically sold to tourists from outside the region planning a multi-stop itinerary. By selling a package of flights, often on several airlines, air passes can make travel within a region easier and more affordable, enabling tourists to visit more countries. While their overall track record is mixed, air passes have succeeded in the past at stimulating tourism in several regions, particularly regions that were suffering from high one-way air fares. In recent years one-way air fares have declined significantly in most regions, limiting the appeal of air passes.

  • The Tough Way Back: Failed Migration in Mali1
    Dr. Stephan Dünnwald [email protected] Investigador/Researcher Centro de Estudos Africanos Lisbon Universitarian Institute CEA/ISCTE-IUL, Sala 2N17 Av.ª das Forças Armadas 1649-026 Lisboa Portugal *** Please Do Not Cite or Reproduce without the Author’s Permission*** The tough way back: failed migration in Mali1 Abstract Migration to Europe is for many Malians a dream and an option to escape growing insecurity. As regular ways of migration are rare and expensive, migrants head north for the Moroccan or Libyan coasts. Due to European migration management including transit states in the Maghreb only few arrive at European borders, many are stuck in the transit and deported back to Malian borders in the desert. Increasingly rigid controls within Europe lead to the forced return of irregular migrants who disembark, bare of all means, at the airport of Mali’s capital Bamako. Out of this situation, self-organisations of returned migrants emerged in Bamako. By describing the unfolding and activities of three different organisations the article outlines certain aspects that mould the possibilities and practices linked to the assistance for returned migrants in Bamako, Mali. Part of these practices is the recourse on and the claiming for rights for these returnees, be it on the national, trans- or international level. 1. Global citizenship, national reservations, transnational interventions The arrival zone at the airport Bamako-Senou is brightly lit, and slowly the Air France Airbus approaches, stopping right in front of the building. Air France is privileged; even the Air Mali planes have their parking positions a bit further down, a clear indication that the relationship to the former colonial power still governs the international relationships in Mali.

  • Khujand Airport Modernisation – Project Due Diligence Assistance
    OFFICIAL USE TERMS OF REFERENCE Tajikistan: Khujand Airport Modernisation – Project Due Diligence Assistance 1. BACKGROUND The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the “Bank” or “EBRD”) is considering a new loan of up to EUR 5.0 million to the OJSC Khujand International Airport (the “Company”) for modernisation of the Company’s main passenger terminal (the “Project”). The Company is 100 per cent state-owned by the State Committee for Investments and State Property Management of the Government of Tajikistan (the “GoT”). The Company manages and operates the city of Khujand’s regional airport. Khujand is Tajikistan’s second largest city with more than 200,000 inhabitants. The Company is an existing EBRD client and the proposed Project is a continuation of the Company’s long-term development programme started back in 2013. The proposed Project will be the Bank’s second loan to the Company. Financing under the previous loan was provided for: i) emergency runway rehabilitation; ii) installation of high intensity lights; iii) modernisation of radio and ground control safety equipment; and iv) modernisation of instrument landing system. The proposed loan would be used to improve the passenger terminal’s services via: (i) procuring a new passenger and luggage registration system, (ii) introducing an automated airport management and flight information system, and (iii) installing a modern, energy efficient, climate control system. Upon the Project’s completion, the terminal’s capacity would increase from 150 to 400 passengers per hour. 2. OBJECTIVES The overall objective of the proposed assignment is to assist with confirming the feasibility of the proposed investment in line with the EBRD requirements, including: Technical evaluation Financial and economic evaluation, and market review Preparation of financial model Environmental and social assessment Assessment of current operations of the terminal and recommendations for improvements 3.

  • Improving Services Marketing Strategy for the Flight Catering Company
    IMPROVING SERVICES MARKETING STRATEGY FOR THE FLIGHT CATERING COMPANY Case: Company Aeromar – “Aeromar-Saint-Petersburg” LAHTI UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES Degree in BacheLor of Business Administration Autumn 2018 Arina Badakhova Abstract Author(s) Type of publication PubLished Badakhova, Arina BacheLor’s thesis Autumn 2018 Number of pages 67 pages TitLe of pubLication Improving services marketing strategy for the flight catering company Case: Aeromar-Saint-Petersburg Name of Degree (e.g. BacheLor of Business Administration) Abstract With the increasing prominence of services in the gLobaL economy, services marketing has become a subject that needs to be studied separately. Marketing services are dif- ferent from marketing goods because of the unique characteristics of services, namely their intangibility, heterogeneity, perishability and inseparability. So, it is a chaLLenging task to manage a service. In today’s increasingLy service driven markets and with the proliferation of multiple providers, a company has to plan carefuLLy its marketing strategy to stay in the market and surpass competitors. The aim of this the- sis is to study services marketing and to gain an understanding of the development of a services marketing strategy. The finaL goaL is to improve marketing activities of the case company operating in fLight catering industry in order to increase its competitive- ness in the market. In this study, the author appLies deductive approach with a qualitative research method. Secondary data is coLLected from various sources of Literature, incLuding books, articLes and journals, as welL as Internet sources. The secondary data is sup- ported with primary data, which is coLLected with the help of the researcher’s observa- tion and interviewing workers from the case company, aLso the desktop study is car- ried out in order to analyze competitors.

  • Atcm-Wp/13 Twelfth Meeting of the Afcac Air Transport
    ATCM-WP/13 TWELFTH MEETING OF THE AFCAC AIR TRANSPORT COMMITTEE (Dakar, Senegal, 30-31October 2012) Theme: Sustainability of Air Transport Agenda Item 5: Air Carrier Ownership and Control RELAXING THE RULES FOR AIRLINE DESIGNATION AND AUTHORISATION AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE YD ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA (Presented by AFCAC) SUMMARY This paper provides Africa’s strategy for sustainability of air transport, through the harmonisation of the authorisation and designation of airlines based on a common set of criteria and the need for flexibility in order to facilitate African Airline access to international capital markets. The common set of criteria is based on the YD eligibility criteria. The benefit is to enable eligible African airlines the possibility to gain access to the international capital market, and also encourage cooperation via consolidation, mergers and acquisition as well as cross border investments. Action: Recommended action is stated in section 5 1. INTRODUCTION: 1.1 The substantial ownership and effective control provision, commonly found in ASA is not a provision of the Chicago Convention, but has its origin in the International Air Services Transit Agreement. Article I, Section 5 of the cited treaty establishes the right of each State to withhold or revoke a certificate or permit to an air transport enterprise of another State in any case where it is not satisfied that substantial ownership and effective control are vested in nationals of a contracting State. 1.2 With globalisation and liberalisation of the industry, in particular airline privatisation, alternative ownership and control models have emerged. The ICAO proposed clause for the designation of carriers however seem to be the most favoured (CONF/5-2003).
