  • TWA's Caribbean Flights Caribbean Cure for The
    VOLUME 48 NUMBER 9 MAY 6, 1985 Caribbean . TWA's Caribbean Flights Cure for The Doldrums TWA will fly to the Caribbean this fall, President Ed Meyer announced. The air­ line willserve nine Caribbean destinations from New York starting November 15; at the same time, it will inaugurate non-stop service between St. Louis and SanJuan. Islands to be served are St. Thomas, the Bahamas, St. Maarten, St. Croix, Antigua, Martinique, Guadeloupe and Puerto Rico. For more than a decade TWA has con­ sistently been the leading airline across . the North Atlantic in terms of passengers carried. With the addition of the Caribbean routes, TWA willadd an important North­ South dimension to its internationalserv­ ices, Mr. Meyer said. "We expect that strong winter loads to Caribbean vacation destinations will help TWA counterbalance relatively light transatlantic traffic at that time of year, . and vice versa," he explained. "Travelers willbenefit from TWA's premiere experi­ ence in international operations and its reputation for excellent service," he added. Mr. Meyer emphasized TWA's leader­ ship as the largest tour operator across the Atlantic, and pointed to the airline's feeder network at both Kennedy and St. Louis: "Passengers from the west and midwest caneasily connect into these ma- (topage4) Freeport � 1st Quarter: Nassau SAN JUAN A Bit Better St. Thomas With the publication of TWA's first-quar­ St. Croix ter financial results,· the perennial ques­ tion recurs: "With load factors like that, how could we lose so much money?"

    Preparing for the Unexpected: A Psychologist’s Case for Improved Training Although design and automation help reduce human error incidents and accidents, training shortcomings must be corrected to enhance crew performance improvements. by H. Clayton Foushee, Ph.D. U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California (Foushee is now with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, FAA, in Washington, D.C.)

LADB Article Id: 55309 ISSN: 1060-4189 Venezuelan Airline Viasa to be Liquidated by LADB Staff Category/Department: Venezuela Published: 1997-02-28 Shareholders of Venezolana Internacional de Aviacion (VIASA) owned jointly by the Venezuelan government and the Spanish airline Iberia voted to liquidate the company, leaving 2,400 employees out of work. Crippling debts and labor problems forced the Feb. 20 decision, which came a month after all flights were suspended. VIASA was founded by the government in 1960 and partially privatized in September 1991. In the privatization, 45% of the shares were awarded to Iberia, 15% to the Venezuelan Banco Provincial, and the remaining 40% remained with the state Fondo de Inversiones de Venezuela (FIV), which oversees the government's privatization efforts (see NotiSur , 06/13/91 and 04/30/92). According to the company, VIASA ran approximately 85 flights per week, transporting 17,500 passengers. Last Dec. 19, VIASA employees rejected an emergency plan to save the airline, presented by Iberia, which proposed a reduction of personnel by between 10% and 20%.
