    Cumbria County Council Information Governance Team Cumbria House 117 Botchergate Carlisle CA1 1RD T: 01228 221234 E: [email protected] E-mail: 23 March 2018 Your reference: Our reference: IG 00176 Dear FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - DISCLOSURE The council has completed its search relating to your request for information about flights, which was received on 23 February 2018. The council does hold information within the definition of your request. Request I am writing to obtain information about flights your organisation, and any arms-length management organisations or arms-length bodies owned by your organisation, has paid for since 1 January 2015. Please include the following information: • The name of the airline used • The fare paid • The class of ticket (eg economy, premium economy, business, first) • The date • The port of departure • The port of arrival Please include flights that have been paid for directly as well as any flights staff or others have been reimbursed for. Response Attached is a summary of all the flights paid for by the Council from 2015 onwards that were booked through the Council’s travel supplier. We estimate that the cost of providing the requested information for transactions that relate to reimbursements would exceed the appropriate limit, specified in regulations for Local Government, of £450. To collate this information we would have to manually review reimbursement transactions to identify whether they were for flights. Since 01 January 2015 there are 2,089 lines of transactions and we estimate that it would take 5 minutes per line to locate, retrieve and extract the required information.

  • South West Select Committee
    Response to the Assembly for Wales Enterprise and Business Committee Inquiry into the Future of Welsh Ports and Airports 1. About Flybe 1.1 Flybe welcomes the opportunity to submit a response to the Assembly’s inquiry into the future of Welsh ports and airports. Headquartered in Exeter, Flybe is proudly and determinedly a regional airline and is both Europe’s largest regional airline and the UK’s number one domestic airline. Employing around 3,300 staff, we currently operate 84 aircraft on 211 routes from 36 UK and 62 European airports (all routes on sale Jan ’12-Oct’12) in 18 countries and carried more than 7 million passengers in 2011. CAA statistics show that, during 2011, Flybe was responsible for 120,383 air movements, nearly 13% of the total for the UK. This made us the third largest airline in terms of departures from UK airports, behind only British Airways and Easyjet. 1.2 Flybe has established a comprehensive regional route network and our spread of airports is intended to offer customers a convenient point-to-point network operating from regional airports which are a preferable alternative to having to travel to more distant major hub airports. In addition, the domestic route network does not attempt to compete with surface transport where alternative road or rail options give journey times of three hours or less. As such, and because we offer three times more domestic routes than our nearest competitor, Flybe can legitimately claim to understand the needs of the UK’s regions better than any other airline.

  • Evolutionary Reinforcement Learning of Spoken Dialogue Strategies
    Evolutionary Reinforcement Learning of Spoken Dialogue Strategies Dave Toney I V N E R U S E I T H Y T O H F G E R D I N B U Doctor of Philosophy Institute for Communicating and Collaborative Systems School of Informatics University of Edinburgh 2007 Abstract From a system developer’s perspective, designing a spoken dialogue system can be a time-consuming and difficult process. A developer may spend a lot of time anticipating how a potential user might interact with the system and then deciding on the most appropriate system response. These decisions are encoded in a dialogue strategy, essentially a mapping between anticipated user inputs and appropriate system outputs. To reduce the time and effort associated with developing a dialogue strategy, recent work has concentrated on modelling the development of a dialogue strategy as a sequential decision problem. Using this model, reinforcement learning algorithms have been employed to generate dialogue strategies automatically. These algorithms learn strategies by interacting with simulated users. Some progress has been made with this method but a number of important challenges remain. For instance, relatively little success has been achieved with the large state representations that are typical of real- life systems. Another crucial issue is the time and effort associated with the creation of simulated users. In this thesis, I propose an alternative to existing reinforcement learning methods of dialogue strategy development. More specifically, I explore how XCS, an evolutionary reinforcement learning algorithm, can be used to find dialogue strategies that cover large state spaces. Furthermore, I suggest that hand-coded simulated users are sufficient for the learning of useful dialogue strategies.

ELFAA member airlines carried over 183 million passengers over the past 12 months July 2010 – June 2011. The low fares share of intra‐Europe scheduled point to point traffic is currently 43% and is forecast to grow to 60% by 20201. Financial protection against airline failure A report by consultants Steer Davies Gleave on behalf of the European Commission2 found that, of the over 750 million air passengers p.a. in Europe, only 0.07% were affected by airline failure in the ten years 2000‐2010. Of these, only 12% (0.00084% of total) were away from home at the time of the failure. ELFAA therefore considers that any inclusion of airline “seat only” sales in the ATOL scheme, would be massively disproportionate. Besides distorting competition with other modes, it would distort competition between airlines in that customers of financially strong airlines would cross‐subsidise those of the minority of customers, who favour weaker competitors.

    ESSENTIAL READING FOR TRAVEL INSURANCE INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS WWW.ITIJ.CO.UK JANUARY 2011 • ISSUE 120 Winter claims costs revealed The latest analysis from one UK-based travel insurance company has revealed that the average cost of a winter sports claim in 2009/10 was £478. Sarah Watson has more details New claims data from online company insurewithease shows that Eastern Europe has sloped in just behind Austria and Switzerland as the fi fth most popular winter sports destination. France is still the hot favourite for skiing, with 47 per cent of winter sports claims being made by people who headed for the French slopes for some vin chaud. Those looking for skiing or snowboarding holidays are still willing to travel long-haul to reach their destinations, with North America racking up the second highest number of claims for the company at 15 per cent. Of concern for insurers will be the generally higher claims costs seen from tourists who received treatment in the US – it only takes a small number of travellers to make claims from expensive hospitals in desirable ski resorts for the total amount paid by the insurer to reach high fi gures. When it comes to the types of winter sports claims seen by the insurer, 55 per cent are for medical expenses, with fractures and broken bones accounting for 15 per cent of all medical claims. While the average cost of a claim is £478, a serious leg fracture in US resorts such continued on p5 Singapore survey Still uncovered New research from credit card provider According to the results of a survey undertaken commissioned by one of Singapore’s largest direct their insurer if the airline they had booked with went Barclaycard has found that one third of British by Aviva, Singaporean holidaymakers are going on online insurance companies in order to help the bankrupt; 31 per cent did not realise they could holidaymakers jet off without travel insurance.

  • SUBMISSION of MARTIN EVANS to the PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE of the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY for WALES - CARDIFF/ANGLESEY AIR SERVICE Background
    SUBMISSION OF MARTIN EVANS TO THE PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR WALES - CARDIFF/ANGLESEY AIR SERVICE Background Martin Evans is a Visiting Fellow at the University of South Wales. In 2008, working with the Wales Transport Research Centre at the University and Halcrow, he undertook the first year monitoring report of the Cardiff/Anglesey air service on behalf of the Welsh Government. No further monitoring reports have been published by the Welsh Government. Introduction The possibility of Welsh internal air services was proposed in „The Future of Air Transport - Wales‟ White Paper published by the UK Department for Transport in 2003. A feasibility study was undertaken by The Welsh Government and published in the form of a consultation in 2004. The consultation document examined the feasibility of a number of different networks for Welsh internal air services and the level of investment required for the necessary infrastructure. There are no internal air routes in Wales that would be viable if operated on a commercial basis. The Welsh Government acquired the powers to fund internal air services under a Public Service Obligation (PSO) in the Transport (Wales) Act 2006. The conditions to be followed in funding a PSO route are set out in Article 16 of the Air Services Regulations 1008/2008 of the European Union. “3. The necessity and the adequacy of an envisaged public service obligation shall be assessed by the Member State(s) having regard to: a) the proportionality between the envisaged obligation and the economic needs of the region concerned; b) the possibility of having recourse to other modes of transport and the ability of such modes to meet the transport needs under consideration, in particular when existing rail services serve the envisaged route with a travel time of less than three hours and with sufficient frequencies, connections and suitable timings; c) the air fares and conditions which can be quoted to users; d) the combined effect of all air carriers operating or intending to operate on the route.
