  • Sanders Aviation to Train Pilots for Delta at Walker County Airport
    Sanders Aviation to train pilots for Delta at Walker County Airport JASPER, Alabama — Working in partnership with the Delta Air Crew Training Center in Atlanta, Sanders Aviation is launching a training program that will feed a pipeline of new pilots for Delta, as well as all leading airlines. The first class in the Sanders-Delta Airline Transport Pilot Certified Training Program (ATP-CTP) is scheduled to begin Sept. 27 at Jasper’s Walker County Airport-Bevill Field. The 10-day course involves 30 hours of classroom academics, hands-on experience in full-motion flight simulators, and several hours of training in the Sanders Flight Training Center’s multi-engine airplanes. The certification course is designed to help students, mainly former military pilots, land a job as a pilot for Delta and other large airlines. “This is going to cover everything they need to know to transition from the military to the airlines,” said Jessica S. Walker, chief operating officer at Sanders Aviation. “So if they’ve been flying F-18s, F-35s or KC-135s, this is a course that focuses on how to use the first officer, how to act as a captain, how to talk to air traffic control around the world, how to use all resources possible to transition from the military life into the airline.” Delta’s partnership with Sanders Aviation comes as the Atlanta-based airline company looks to increase its pilot ranks amid retirements and an expansion of routes. During the next decade, Delta expects to hire more than 8,000 pilots to staff the daily flights it operates around the world.

  • The Return to Air Travel Aviation in a Post-Pandemic World
    The Return to Air Travel Aviation in a post-pandemic world Executive Summary COVID-19 has caused an unprecedented disruption to global travel. As of May 14th, less than 20% of people felt comfortable travelling by air. For airports and airlines, the rate at which passengers return to traveling will determine not just corporate strategy but long-term financial viability. This research characterizes general attitudes toward air travel and how people currently anticipate their Key Findings travel habits to change in the coming months and years, with the objective of determining the rate of recovery and what factors will influence it.

  • Hypermobile Travellers
    6. HYPERMOBILE TRAVELLERS Stefan Gössling, Jean-Paul Ceron, Ghislain Dubois, Michael C. Hall [a]Introduction The contribution of aviation to climate change is, with a global share of just 2 per cent of emissions of CO 2 (see chapter 2, this volume), often regarded as negligible. This perspective ignores, however, the current and expected growth in air traffic, as well as its socio-cultural drivers. Aviation is a rapidly growing sector, with annual passenger growth forecasts of 4.9 per cent in the coming 20 years (Airbus 2008) In a carbon-constrained world with the ambition to reduce absolute levels of greenhouse gas emissions and limited options to technically achieve these (see chapter 13, this volume), the growth in air traveller numbers thus indicates an emerging conflict (see also chapter 4, this volume) Moreover, it becomes increasingly clear that aviation is an activity in which comparably few people participate. With regard to international aviation, it can be estimated that only about 2-3 per cent of the world’s population fly in between any two countries over one consecutive year (Peeters et al 2006), indicating that participation in air travel is highly unequally distributed on a global scale. The vast majority of air travellers currently originate from industrialized countries, even though there are some recent trends, particularly in China and India, showing rapid growth in air travel (cf. UNWTO 2007) There is also evidence that air travel is unevenly distributed within nations, particularly those with already high levels of individual mobility. In industrialized countries there is evidence of a minority of highly mobile individuals, who account for a large share of the overall kilometres travelled, especially by air.

  • Aviation Deregulation and Safety: Theory and Evidence
    AVIATION DEREGULATION AND SAFETY Theory and Evidence By Leon N. Moses and Ian Savage* The popular press paints a bleak picture of contemporary aviation safety in the United States. The cover stories of Time (12 January 1987), Newsweek (27 July 1987), and Insight (26 October 1987) are of crashes and escalating numbers of near midair collisions, with allegations of improper maintenance. In the minds of the public, these allegations are confirmed by the recent record fines for irregularities imposed on airlines with household names. The popular belief, expressed for example by Nance (1986), is that the root cause is the economic deregulation of the industry in 1978. Deregulation, it is argued, has led to com petitive pressures on air carriers to reduce expenditure on safety-related items, and allowed entry into the market by inexperienced new carriers. In addition many believe that the congestion caused by the greater number of airline flights, occasioned by the substantial rise in demand since deregulation, has led to an increased probability of collision. This paper considers the evidence to date on the validity of these contentions. However, initially we will present a theoretical framework that links economic conditions and the safety performance of firms. This framework allows inferences to be drawn more easily from the various strands of evidence. THE THEORY A definition of "safety" Before we present the theory of safety provision an important semantic issue arises. Throughout the discussion we will speak of "safety" as if it were some unambiguously defined unidimensional concept. It is no such thing. Even if we were to define safety as the "probability that a trip would end in an accident", there would still be the problem that accidents vary in severity from minor damage-only incidents to major tragedies with loss of life.

The committee had reviewed the general experience of the U.S. airline in- dustry during the more than a dozen years since legislation ended gov- ernment economic regulation of entry, pricing, and ticket distribution in the domestic market.1 The committee examined issues ranging from passenger fares and service in small communities to aviation safety and the federal government’s performance in accommodating the escalating demands on air traffic control. At the time, it was still being debated whether airline deregulation was favorable to consumers. Once viewed as contrary to the public interest,2 the vigorous airline competition 1 The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 was preceded by market-oriented administra- tive reforms adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) beginning in 1975. 2 Congress adopted the public utility form of regulation for the airline industry when it created CAB, partly out of concern that the small scale of the industry and number of willing entrants would lead to excessive competition and capacity, ultimately having neg- ative effects on service and perhaps leading to monopolies and having adverse effects on consumers in the end (Levine 1965; Meyer et al. 1959). 15 9310-01 Chapter 1 10/12/99 14:48 Page 16 16 ENTRY AND COMPETITION IN THE U.S. AIRLINE INDUSTRY spurred by deregulation now is commonly credited with generating large and lasting public benefits.

  • Electric Airports
    Electric Airports In the next few years, it is highly likely that the global aircraft fleet will undergo a transformative change, changing air travel for everyone. This is a result of advances in battery technology, which are making the viability of electric aircraft attractive to industry leaders and startups. The reasons for switching from a fossil­fueled to electric powertrain are not simply environmental, though aircraft do currently contribute around 3% of global carbon dioxide emissions [1]. Electric aircraft will provide convenient, comfortable, cheap and fast transportation for all. This promise provides a powerful incentive for large companies such as Airbus and many small startups to work on producing compelling electric aircraft. There are a number of fundamental characteristics that make electric aircraft appealing. The most intuitive is that they are predicted to produce very little noise, as the propulsion system does not rely on violent combustion [2]. This makes flying much quieter for both passengers and people around airports. As they do not need oxygen for burning jet fuel, they can fly much higher, which in turn will make them faster than today’s aircraft as air resistance decreases with altitude [3]. The most exciting characteristic is that electric aircraft could make vertical take­off and landing, or VTOL, flight a possibility for everyone. Aircraft currently take off using a long runway strip, gaining speed until there is enough airflow over the wings to fly. It obviously doesn’t have to be this way, as helicopters have clearly demonstrated. You can just take off vertically. Though helicopters are far too expensive and slow for us to use them as airliners.

  • Airline Alliances
    AIRLINE ALLIANCES by Paul Stephen Dempsey Director, Institute of Air & Space Law McGill University Copyright © 2011 by Paul Stephen Dempsey Open Skies • 1992 - the United States concluded the first second generation “open skies” agreement with the Netherlands. It allowed KLM and any other Dutch carrier to fly to any point in the United States, and allowed U.S. carriers to fly to any point in the Netherlands, a country about the size of West Virginia. The U.S. was ideologically wedded to open markets, so the imbalance in traffic rights was of no concern. Moreover, opening up the Netherlands would allow KLM to drain traffic from surrounding airline networks, which would eventually encourage the surrounding airlines to ask their governments to sign “open skies” bilateral with the United States. • 1993 - the U.S. conferred antitrust immunity on the Wings Alliance between Northwest Airlines and KLM. The encirclement policy began to corrode resistance to liberalization as the sixth freedom traffic drain began to grow; soon Lufthansa, then Air France, were asking their governments to sign liberal bilaterals. • 1996 - Germany fell, followed by the Czech Republic, Italy, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Malta, Poland. • 2001- the United States had concluded bilateral open skies agreements with 52 nations and concluded its first multilateral open skies agreement with Brunei, Chile, New Zealand and Singapore. • 2002 – France fell. • 2007 - The U.S. and E.U. concluded a multilateral “open skies” traffic agreement that liberalized everything but foreign ownership and cabotage. • 2011 – cumulatively, the U.S. had signed “open skies” bilaterals with more than100 States. Multilateral and Bilateral Air Transport Agreements • Section 5 of the Transit Agreement, and Section 6 of the Transport Agreement, provide: “Each contracting State reserves the right 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 .
