Virginia Law Review v.v. vice versa l INTRODUCTION It has been universally recognized since the end of World War l that every state has complete and exclusive sovereignty over the airspace above its territory. Therefore, it may grant or refuse to aircraft of other states the right to fly into its airspace. Attempts were made by nations to agree on a multilateral basis for the exchange of air transport rights, but no common solution was reached. Bilateral negotiations between nations have become the only means of obtaining in foreign countries the appropriate rights for scheduled international air services. Although Thailand is a small country and has only two small air carriers, it has entered into bilateral negotiations with several states and concluded as many as twenty bilateral air transport agreements. This thesis deals with the exercise of jurisdiction over the control of international air transport by the Government of Thailand. Special attention is drawn to the bilateral agreements which it concluded with foreign governments. The work consists of three chapters. Chapter Ideals with the evolution and legal regulation of civil aviation in Thailand. 2 It introduces as factual background the development of civil aviation, starting with the first power flight. It also discusses the application of national legislation to international air transport, the constitutional allocation of authority and the responsibilities of various government organs. Chapter II covers the control of international air transport in retrospect, as well as Thailand's participation in the making of international air transport law. Bilateral air transport agreements concluded by Thailand are noted in Chapter III. The differences in clauses and phraseology used in the existing bilaterals and the problem of the implementation of such bilaterals are also examined. 3 CHAPTER l CIVIL AVIATION IN THAILAND: IT3 EVOLUTION AND LEGAL REGULATION 1. The Gro~~h of Civil Aviation (1) Before Wor1d War II Ear1y in the twentieth century Thai1and considered it necessary to estab1ish its air power. Three officers of the Ministry of Defence were sent to France in February of 1912 to 1earn how to f1y airp1anes. During the years 1912-1913 Thailand ordered 7 airplanes: 3 Breguets and 4 Nieuports. On December 29, 1913, the first f1ight was made in Bangkok and was found to be satisfactory. In February of 1915, one Nieuport-type airplane was bui1t in Thailand by Thai engineers and of local materials. A Breguet-type plane was a1so bui1t and its first f1ight on May 24, 1915, was successful. A new type of airplane was designed by an officer of the Ministry of Defence and was built in 1927. Its first f1ight was successfu11y made on June 23 of that year. Many airplanes of this type were put into service during the fo11owing years. 4 Air transportation in Thailand started when an arm of the Ministry of Defence was assigned to operate air transport services. An experimental air mail service began operation on February 17, 1920. Three air mail flights were made in the same year, but on different routes. On June l, 1922, the first air transport service was operated in the Northeast on the route Nakhon Ratchasima (known as Korat)-Roi Et-Ubon Ratchathani (known as Ubon).l In 1923 a new route, Nakhon Ratchasima-Roi Et-Udon Thani (known as Udorn)-Nong Khai, was opened. In 1924 a civil unit of the Ministry of Defence was established to operate air transport services. Its headquarters were located at Nakhon Ratchasima. Six years later the Nakhon Ratchasima- Roi Et-Ubon Ratchathani service was suspended, since the railway already served Ubon. More than twenty airfields were built in aIl parts of the country during these years. In July of 1931, the Aerial Transport Company, Limited was established to extend the regular air transport services started nine years earlier. It operated under control of the Ministry of Commerce and 5 ( Communications.2 Three pilots were loaned from the Ministry of Defence. The Company served major cities throughout the country. It also provided air extensions to the Thai railway system. The Company was operated by Thai citizens only. It did not owe its existence to any sort of connection with a foreign airline.

The crash initiated panic within UK Oil and Gas industry, demanding grounding of the Super Puma fleet of helicopters. Four people died when the CHC Super Puma crashed on approach to Sumburgh Airport on 23 August 2013. 1 All Super Puma helicopter passenger flights to UK oil installations were suspended after a crash off Shetland claimed the lives of four people. The Helicopter Safety Steering Group (HSSG) had advised grounding all variants of the helicopter. The HSSG, which is made up of oil industry representatives, advised that all models of the Super Puma series including: AS332 L, L1, L2 and EC225 should be grounded for "all Super Puma commercial passenger flights to and from offshore oil and gas installations within the UK." The Norwegian civil aviation authority had earlier rejected appeals from its unions to ground all its Super Pumas – which operate in the North Sea in very similar weather conditions to the UK fleet – insisting that Friday's crash was an isolated incident.

  • Braathens Aviation Orders 4 Additional ATR 72-600S
    Braathens Aviation orders 4 additional ATR 72-600s The Swedish group converts four of its ten options of the Paris Air Show 2015 deal Toulouse, 14th December – ATR and Stockholm-based Braathens Aviation are pleased to announce their agreement for the purchase of four additional ATR 72-600s. Today’s announcement represents the conversion into firm orders of four options from a previous deal inked at the Paris Air Show in June 2015. On that occasion, ATR and Braathens Aviation had inked a deal for five firm ATR 72-600s and ten options. The aircraft will be operated by the group’s subsidiary airline Braathens Regional. Braathens Aviation will progressively introduce its ATR ‘-600s’ fleet until the end of next year. The arrival of these nine brand new ATRs, configured with 72 seats and mainly operated in flights to and from the Stockholm-Bromma airport, responds to the aim of Braathens Aviation to upgrade and optimize its regional aircraft fleet. These new ATR 72-600s will partially replace aging Saab 2000s and, in a second step, ATR 72-500s, thus adding seat capacity and introducing the latest standards of comfort and navigation tools in its overall fleet. Braathens’ new ATR 72-600s aircraft will feature additional navigation capabilities including onboard reception functions needed for precision navigation and landing such as the Satellite- Based Augmentation System (SBAS) and Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) capability. The aircraft are also equipped with PW127M engines, which are certified to operate with biofuel, thus further enhancing the environmental-friendliness of the ATR ‘-600s’ and giving Braathens the opportunity to provide an even greener service to passengers.

  • SAS “New” Business Model
    SAS “new” business model David Sörhammar Uppsala University Department of Business Studies Sweden [email protected] Anna Bengtson Uppsala University Keywords: dynamics, market change, marketing practice, SAS. Abstract In September 2005 SAS introduced a new business model. Where did the model come from and what influenced it? This paper’s focus is on the making of the model where we study the making of a business model as a dynamic process through time. In concrete terms, traces of today’s model can be found and examined from the SAS group’s embryonic attempts starting in 1946, through the financially good years during the 1980s, to the market re-regulation in contemporary time. During these years several changes have taken part both on the larger air travel market and in SAS´s market practice. We have separated SAS´s history into three era’s, the technological era, the businessman’s airlines era, and the “to serve Europe with air travel” era. Elaborating on the theoretical notion of mutuality between markets and market practice (Cf. Helgesson et. al., 2004), the impact of these practices and of the market infra structure at different points in time are described and their importance for the emergence of the business model discussed. Our findings show that the political efforts to de-regulate the European air travel markets did not automatically change all market practices and thus not the market. The process that followed the de-regulation can better be characterised as a translation process in which a changed market was created, based on an already established network of embedded material and immaterial items, such as booking systems, airplanes and perceptive frames, that had to be taken into consideration.
