Airspace Change Consultation Extended Airspace Change Consultation Extended Following feedback we received from local people during our Airspace Change consultation, the Airport commissioned its route designers to undertake more work and as a result, a further option for southbound departures has been proposed. Full details of the additional proposed route can be found at www.birminghamairport.co.uk, and it will be open for consultation up to Friday 17th May 2013. To give local people the opportunity to discuss the proposed route with members of the Airport team, we will be holding three further drop-in sessions, which will take place as follows: Hampton in Arden – Monday 22nd April: 19:00-21:00 at Hampton in Arden Village Hall Balsall Common - Wednesday 24th April: 19:00-21:00 at the Jubilee Centre Barston - Thursday 25th April: 19:00-21:00 at Barston Village Hall The departure routes consultation, which opened on 11th January 2013, is part of an ‘Airspace Change Process’, which the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) requires the airport to carry out due to changes to flight paths that will occur as a result of the runway extension. As the runway will be extended further south, there will be a change to the routeing of aircraft after taking-off to the south which will mean a change for some communities. The new routes have been designed using the latest criteria to allow aircraft to fly more precisely than ever and are a legal requirement set out by the CAA. Currently, aircraft departing from Birmingham are directed to fly within a 3km ‘noise corridor’, up to 3000ft to minimise the noise impact on local communities. However, after redesigning the flight paths using the latest criteria, aircraft will be able to fly more precisely. The Airport has therefore committed to reduce the existing 3km noise corridor to 2km to demonstrate its confidence in the changes. April 2013 ATC comes to BHX Local Air Cadets have been given a privileged ‘behind the scenes’ view of operations at Birmingham Airport. Members of 2030 (Elmdon & Yardley) Squadron Air Cadets visited the Airport recently to learn more about parts of the Airport the passenger never sees. After hearing the latest updates on the runway extension, the group visited the baggage make-up hall, where Terminal System Supervisor, Wally Roscoria, explained how thousands of pieces of luggage are screened, sorted and loaded every day. Meanwhile Engineering Manager Geoff Brunt showed off one of the airbridges which take passengers from the terminal building directly onto the aircraft. Next it was all aboard one of the fleet of passenger buses for the short trip to the Airport Fire Service, where Station Officer John McCorry and his colleagues gave the cadets a fascinating insight into the job of an Airport Fire Fighter. John explained how the existing fire appliances are soon to be replaced by brand new, state-of- the-art vehicles, currently being built to order in the United States, before offering them the chance to sit in the hot seat and get a sense of what it must be like to operate one of these powerful machines. 2030 Squadron is one of more than 900 Air Training Corps squadrons in the UK which between them have more than 40,000 members, aged between 13 and 20 years. The ATC promotes and encourages a practical interest in aviation and the RAF, provides training and encourages a spirit of adventure in its members that develops qualities of leadership and good citizenship. There are close links between the Airport and 2030 squadron, which operates from the TA Centre in Barrows Lane, less than three miles from the terminal buildings. Airport Chief Executive Officer Paul Kehoe is the unit’s Honorary President and the cadets have benefitted in the past from the Airport’s Community Trust Fund, which awarded a grant of £3,000 for new IT equipment in 2010. April 2013 New procedure will benefit communities Residents in communities to the south of the airfield may be familiar with the fact that aircraft on approach to Birmingham can sometimes be observed taking a course that is slightly offset from the usual straight-in approach to the runway. This is a result of aircraft following a Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) approach. NDB approaches are taken when the normal guidance system for arriving aircraft, the Instrument Landing System April 2013 (ILS), is temporarily out of service, most commonly for maintenance purposes. They result in aircraft flying slightly to the east of the usual centreline. This is most noticeable to the residents of Balsall Common who observe aircraft flying closer to the village than normal. Now a new procedure is being introduced which will provide better track-keeping in situations where the ILS is temporarily out of service. It’s called APV-BARO and uses satellites to accurately identify an aircraft’s position in relation to the extended centreline, while its own barometric altimeter provides height guidance. APV-BARO approaches are independent of ground-based systems such as the NDB and deliver better accuracy and safety. For local residents, it provides a benefit because it replicates the ILS approaches, meaning even when the ILS is out of service, aircraft will still follow a straight line approach and the same descent profile. Not all aircraft will be able to use the new system, but its introduction should mean a reduction in the number of instances when residents notice aircraft flying ‘off-track’ when landing from the South. The new procedure is due to be introduced in May. In the meantime, if you wish to find out more about arrival and departure routes, contact our Environment Helpline on 0121 767 7433. Latest Development News Local residents and those passing on the nearby A45 will have seen the steel framework for the new Monarch Engineering hangar rising from the Elmdon side of the airfield over the past few weeks. As the structure takes shape, the size of the new facility becomes apparent; with a floor area of more than a hectare it will be capable of accommodating two Boeing 777 aircraft side by side. Construction has involved some impressive feats of precision and co-operation. The installation of the four valley trusses, each weighing around 20 tonnes, required five cranes to lift them to exactly the right position, so that workers could secure each one with 100 bolts. The £10 million project, which will bring up to 300 high-quality engineering jobs to the area, should see the first aircraft arriving for maintenance by the 1st November this year. April 2013 Meanwhile, the A45 diversion works, ahead of the runway extension, have been progressing through the winter rain and snow. As well as the actual construction of the road, among the complexities of this £35m project have been the removal of 110,000 cubic metres of earth, the diversion of a sewer and a fuel pipeline, drainage works and even the relocation of dozens of white-clawed crayfish while culverts are created to realign watercourses. From 21st June to 1st July 2013, there will be lane closures along the A45 as the new section of road is ‘tied in’ at each end, after which the old course of the road will be closed to allow the construction of the runway extension to begin in earnest. By extending the existing runway by 405 metres, aircraft will be able to take off from Birmingham with more fuel and fly non-stop to destinations currently out of reach, such as China, South America, South Africa and the West Coast of the USA. Work is scheduled for completion by the spring of 2014. And finally this month, the £5m Air Traffic Control Tower project will shortly be completed. Although the tower and its associated bas building has been a feature of the airfield skyline for more than a year, the intervening period has seen a comprehensive fitting-out process to install the complex equipment required to operate the air traffic control systems. An extensive programme of training and testing has been taking place ahead of the planned transfer of operations from the existing facility in the Elmdon Building on 17th April. April 2013 Airlines On Track for Success Airlines operating from Birmingham have been recognised for their contribution to reducing community disturbance through the 8th annual Operation Pathfinder awards. Councillor Ken Meeson, Leader of Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, joined Airport Chief Executive Paul Kehoe to present the awards at a ceremony staged at the Airport in April. Operation Pathfinder was established in 2006 as a forum for airlines, Air Traffic Control provider NATS and the Airport’s own environment team, to work together to improve environmental performance at Birmingham. The initial aim of the group was to improve track-keeping performance, - raising the percentage of departing flights that stayed within designated noise routes. In 2012 almost 99% of flights were on-track, well-ahead of the 95% target set by the Airport. Speaking at the awards ceremony, Councillor Meeson thanked representatives of some of the major airlines flying from Birmingham for their commitment to reducing the impact of their operations on the residents of Solihull and surrounding areas. Among the best performers were Ryanair, who won the best track- keeping award for those airlines operating more than 200 flights each month and Thomson, who won the award in the more than 100 flights per month category. Selim Ozturk of Turkish Airlines with Cllr Ken Meeson (left) and Paul Kehoe (right) Top performers though, were Turkish Airlines, who won the best track-keeping award in the category for airlines operating more than 50 flights per month with an unblemished 100% on- track record.

This research is designed to elucidate airline customer loyalty generation procedure by uncovering the specific role of airline meals and their dimensions, attitude, satisfaction, and love. Using a quantitative method, empirical findings from the structural analysis successfully offer a good understanding of airline food quality and its role, identify the vital triggers of customer loyalty, and uncover the silent mediating role of airline love in affecting loyalty. Taking one step further beyond the theorizations in the existing studies of airline customers’ post-purchase behaviors, the present study builds a strong conceptual framework relating airline food quality, attitude, satisfaction, airline love, and customer loyalty.

  • B-194641 Request for Reimbursement of Subsistence
    . THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES WASH INGTO N. 0. C. 2054 6 FILE: B-194641 r DATE: February 19, 1980 MATTER OF: Eugene M. Sestile - Reimbursement of Subsistence ExpensesJ DIGEST: Employee claims reimbursement for meals consumed in travel status that duplicate meals on airplane flights. General rule is that duplicative meals may not be reimbursed in absence of justifiable rea- son as to why extra meals were necessary. Employee's argument that airplane dinner was 'I not full course meal to which he was ac- customed does not constitute justifiable reason permitting reimbursement of that meal. Also, employee's contention that inflight breakfast would not have been served until 10 a.m., is rebutted by airline's statement that breakfast on that flight is normally served around 9 a.m. Mr. John W. Rice, Jr., an authorized certifying officer of the National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationNASA), requests our decision concerning the propriety of reimbursing two meals purchased by an employee incident to temporary duty travel to Vandenburg Air Force Base, California. The agency denied reimburse- ment since the employee was provided duplicative meals by the air- line. The employee, Mr. Eugene M. Sestile, was ordered to perform temporary duty to attend a meeting at Vandenburg AFB and to inspect equipment at Palmdale, California, November 14 through 17, 1978. Incident to that assignment, he claimed reimbursement for dinner in the amount of $10 on the night of his arrival in California and for breakfast in the amount of $3 on the morning of his return flight to his permanent duty station in Florida.

  • Deregulation of the Airline Industry by Xiangyu Jiao
    Deregulation of the Airline Industry By Xiangyu Jiao (6836034) Major Paper presented to the Department of Economics of the University of Ottawa in partial fulfillment of the requirement of the M.A. Degree Supervisor: Professor Gamal Atallah ECO 6999 Ottawa, Ontario April 2014 Abstract Airline transportation is an indispensable part of the world economy. The deregulation of the airline industry has received much attention as it has historically been regulated. Since deregulation, this industry has improved in many ways. At the same time, deregulation also negatively affected carriers. This paper surveys the empirical literature on the airline industry, using the U.S. airline industry to analyze the effect of deregulation. The research primarily looks at the merits and demerits of the deregulation of the airline industry, and analyzes changes using industrial organization theory. In this paper, six main issues are addressed: background, achievements, market structure, competitiveness, welfare, of the U.S. airline industry, and the global airline industry. Through a thorough analysis of these six issues, this paper will review the path of deregulation and reform in the airline industry. Keywords: Airline industry, Deregulation Acknowledgements My deepest gratitude goes first and foremost to my supervisor, Professor Gamal Atallah, for his constant encouragement and valuable instruction, for his insightful lectures, which inspired me to compose this thesis. He carefully read the whole drafts and offered precious criticisms. His great patience played a vital role during the process of this research. Without his valuable and academic guidance, this paper would not have been possible. I am also grateful to Professor Rose Anne Devlin, for her reading my paper carefully, offering me valuable suggestions and enlightening instructions, which contributed to the completion of this paper.
