  • David Neeleman
    David Neeleman David Neeleman is that rarest of entrepreneurs, a man who has created and launched four successful, independent airlines, including the USA’s JetBlue and Morris Air, Canada’s WestJet and Brazil’s Azul. Azul, just seven years old, has already boarded tens of millions of customers. Born in Brazil while his father was Reuter’s São Paulo Bureau Chief, David has always had a deep love for the country. After his family moved to Utah while he was still a child, David would return to Brazil many times throughout his life. A dual citizen, David today relishes the dream before him to make flying cheaper and easier for Brazilians, giving access to air travel for many who have never experienced the opportunity before. Azul serves more than 100 destinations with an operating fleet of more than 140 aircraft, including Brazilian-built Embraer E-190 and E-195 jets, and ATR-72s. Just as JetBlue in the US before it, Azul is the first airline in Latin America to offer LiveTV inflight TV programming via satellite. It has been named Best Low Cost Airline in South America for the last five years at the Skytrax World Airline Awards. In June 2015, it was announced that the Gateway consortium, led by David, had won the bidding to acquire a stake in Portugal’s national carrier TAP. Gateway’s investment represents 50% of the airline. With the new investment, TAP is taking delivery of A330s and inaugurated new daily service from both Boston’s Logan airport and New York’s John F Kennedy International in June and July, respectively.

  • BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas Between 1945 and 1957)
    Last updated 10 March 2021 BEECH 18 PRODUCTION LIST Compiled by Geoff Goodall PART 2: BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas between 1945 and 1957) Beech D18S VH-FIE (A-808) flown by owner Rod Lovell at Mangalore, Victoria in April 1984. Photo by Geoff Goodall The D18S was the first new commercial Beechcraft model at the end of World War II. It began a production run of 1,800 Beech 18 variants for the post-war market (D18S, D18C, E18S, G18S, H18), all built by Beech Aircraft Company at their Wichita Kansas plant. The “S” suffix indicated it was powered by the reliable 450hp P&W Wasp Junior series. The first D18S c/n A-1 was first flown in October 1945 at Beech field, Wichita. On 5 December 1945 the D18S received CAA Approved Type Certificate No.757, the first to be issued to any post-war aircraft. The first delivery of a new model D18S to a customer departed Wichita the following day. From 1947 the D18C model was available as an executive version with more powerful 525hp Continental R-9A radials, also offered as the D18C-T passenger transport approved by CAA for feeder airlines. Beech assigned c/n prefix "A-" to D18S production, and "AA-" to the small number of D18Cs. Total production of the D18S, D18C and Canadian Expediter Mk.3 models was 1,035 aircraft.

  • LCD-76-214 Review of the Military Airlift Command's Use of Chartered
    UNITED STATES GENERALAcC~UNTM OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 LOGISTICS AND COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION B-133025 ’ P’ Th.e Honor able The Secretary of Defense Dear Mr. Secretary: As a follow-on to our review of fuel savings and other benefits by diverting passengers from chartered to scheduled overseas flights, we reviewed the Military Airlift Command’s L’1;,(MAC’s) use of c.hartered cargo aircraft. In examining an 8-month period l/ we found 42 instances in which it appeared MAC could, have used the carrier’s regularly scheduled com- mercial service instead of chartered aircraft. We estimate the Department of Defense (DOD) could have saved as much as $425,000 by shipping this cargo on scheduled flights. In addition, the airlines would have saved about $172,000 in operating costs, including about one million gallons of jet fuel. BACKGROUND MAC contracts with commercial air carriers as needed for supplemental airlift of cargo from MAC’s domestic aerial ports to overseas military terminals. Rates for this serv- ice are established by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB). I”- 3 MAC contracts move cargo in planeload lots on a charter ba- sis and, in some instances, in less .than planeload lots in blocked space on scheduled flights. Cargo moving on scheduled flights is palletized at the MAC aerial port by Air Force personnel and then turned over to the contract carrier. The contract carrier is respon- sible for draying the cargo to the commercial air terminal at origin and for delivering the cargo from the commercial terminal to the appropriate military terminal in the over- seas area.
