  • Relatório Social Infraero | 2004 Infraero Social Report
    Relatório Social Infraero | 2004 Infraero Social Report 1 MENSAGEM DO PRESIDENTE Infraero atingiu, em 2004, sua meta social de desenvolver A pelo menos um projeto em todos os aeroportos que adminis- tra, um marco histórico para a empresa que registramos neste relatório. São 67 ações que atendem a mais de 21 mil pessoas em todo o Brasil. Números inexpressivos em relação ao que gostarí- amos de fazer e às necessidades do país, mas bastante relevantes ao refletirem o engajamento dos funcionários da empresa, aos quais gostaria de agradecer e dedicar este feito. Por trás de cada ação, há a atuação obstinada de funcionários da Infraero, que se dispõem a estender suas jornadas de trabalho num terceiro expediente, em sábados e domingos para ajudar pessoas que sequer conhecem. Abstêm-se do convívio com as suas famílias para se dedicarem a outras, cujas vidas de priva- ção acompanham da janela do escritório sem nunca se acostu- marem ou se conformarem. Um trabalho desinteressado, cuja única gratificação está na esperança de poder contribuir para a construção de uma sociedade mais justa e igualitária. Esta é a principal semente do Programa Infraero Social, desen- volver a solidariedade e fomentar o inconformismo com qual- quer tipo de pobreza e desigualdade. É mostrar que a Infraero não é feita apenas de concreto. É feita de pessoas e, principal- mente, de corações. Carlos Wilson Campos MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT nfraero achieved, in 2004, its social goal of developing at Ileast one project in all the airports that it manages, a historic landmark for the company that we record in this report.

Fernando Pessoa, in Renascença Portuguesa III Exploring Connectivity in Air Transport as an Equity Factor| Frederico Valente Nunes | IV Exploring Connectivity in Air Transport as an Equity Factor| Frederico Valente Nunes | Abstract (and key-words) Abstract (and key-words) In this Master Dissertation we analysed the equity in air transportation in the European Union (EU) regarding routes and ticket prices. This study aimed to analyse whether the European Union policies in this field of transportation are considering the equity as a factor, whether they ensure the main purposes of the EU and whether they are improving the cohesion between countries. For this, three different indicators were created in order to evaluate equity in air transportation in the EU: Availability, the existence of routes between countries; Affordability, if the prices take into account the purchasing power of each country; and Business Convenience, to evaluate the cost of travelling by air on business in Europe.

  • Asian Breeze (53)
    Asian Breeze (53) (亜細亜の風) 8 August 2017 Happy Summer vacation to you Greetings from Hot and Humid Tokyo! Are you enjoying the summer vacations? There are so many Natsu Matsuri (夏祭), or Summer Festivals in Japan. The most famous, biggest and long history festival is Gion Matsuri (祇園祭) in Kyoto. It takes place annually, and it goes for the entire month of July and is crowned by a Parade, the “Yamaboko Junkō”(山鉾巡行) on July 17 and July 24. It is like the “Rio Carnival” in Brazil without dancing. The Festival is divided in two parts; front nights and back nights. Front nights are from 14 to 16 July and back nights are from 21 to 23 July. Kyoto's downtown area is reserved for pedestrian traffic for three nights leading up to the massive Parade. Many girls dressed in yukata (summer kimono) walk around the area, carrying with them traditional purses and paper fans. The floats in the Parade are divided into two groups; Hoko and Yama, and are collectively called Yamaboko (or Yamahoko) (山鉾). Hoko floats weigh about 12,000kg and its height is about 25m from ground with wheel diameter of 1.9 m. It needs about 30 - 40 people to pull the float with two piloting men. Yama floats weigh about 1,500kg and its height is about 6m. It needs about 14 - 24 people to pull the float. There are 9 of the larger Hoko (long pole or halberd) which represent the 66 spears used in the original purification ritual, and 23 of the smaller Yama which carry life-size figures of famous and important people.
