Washington Aviation Summary I. REGULATORY NEWS 1. U.S. Limits Entry Points for Passengers From Ebola-Affected Nations. The first person to die of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in the United States was a Liberian, Thomas Eric Duncan, who had traveled on United Airlines flights from Brussels to Dallas via Washington Dulles. As health authorities maintained, he was not contagious during that period. Upon learning that a nurse who had treated Duncan flew on Frontier and later tested positive for EVD, the airline placed crew on paid leave for 21 days “out of an abundance of caution” and alerted passengers; that nurse and a co-worker have since recovered. The Department of Homeland Security designated New York Kennedy, Newark, Washington Dulles, Chicago O'Hare and Atlanta as the only air gateways for travelers from West African countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, and initiated EVD screening. Travelers from those countries with flights to other airports must rebook flights to make entry through a listed airport. There are no direct commercial flights to any U.S. airport from those countries, but travelers arrive via foreign hubs. A healthcare worker returned to the U.S. from Guinea through Kennedy and received enhanced screening, but did not have fever or other symptoms; he later tested positive for EVD. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) then designated six states (New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey and Georgia) where travelers “without febrile illness or symptoms consistent with Ebola will be followed up daily by state and local health departments for 21 days from date of departure from West Africa.” . CDC provided guidance to airlines and others for evaluating risk of exposure of persons coming from countries affected by EVD. CDC also issued guidance for airline crews, cleaners and cargo personnel regarding protective clothing, cleaning and disinfectant products and other precautions. CDC said “packages or luggage should not pose a risk. Ebola virus is spread through direct contact with blood or body fluids from an infected person. Don’t handle packages visibly dirty from blood or body fluids.” . As of October 29, CDC reported 7,606 laboratory-confirmed EVD cases in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea with 4,910 deaths, and four in the U.S. with one death. 2. IATA: Passenger Numbers To Reach 7.3 Billion by 2034. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released its first 20-year passenger growth forecast, projecting that passenger numbers could climb an average 4.1% annually to reach 7.3 billion by 2034, compared to 3.3 billion this year. Among report highlights, the United States will remain the largest market until around 2030, when China will overtake it. In 2034, flights to, from Kirstein & Young PLLC / Attorneys at Law November 2014 — Page 1 Washington Aviation Summary and within China will account for 1.3 billion passengers, 856 million more than 2014, with 5.5% average annual growth rate. Traffic to, from and within the U.S. is expected to grow at an average annual growth rate of 3.2%, with 1.2 billion passengers by 2034 (559 million more than 2014). India will overtake the UK to become the third largest market by 2031. Japan will slip from fourth to ninth place by 2033. “The first century of air travel has seen about 65 billion passengers take to the sky,” said IATA Director General and CEO Tony Tyler. “The next 65 billion will fly in just the next 20 years.” 3. Air Traffic Service Restored at Chicago Center. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) restored all critical systems and equipment at the Chicago En Route Center in Aurora, IL, which suffered significant damage from a September 26 fire that an employee deliberately set. During the outage, high traffic volumes at Midway and O'Hare were maintained, though initially thousands of flights were cancelled or delayed. FAA is reviewing contingency plans and security protocols for its major facilities. At the request of members of Congress, the Department of Transportation (DOT) Inspector General will conduct an audit of contingency plans and security protocols at Chicago air traffic control facilities, where, “since May 2014, two serious incidents involving a fire resulted in delays and cancellations of hundreds of flights at the area’s airports.” The IG will assess whether FAA has developed and implemented a business continuity plan for Chicago air traffic control facilities that provides for adequate levels of redundancy and resiliency; and evaluate whether security measures in place are maintained and sufficient to mitigate potential risks to the air traffic control system. 4. American, Hawaiian Request Delta’s Tokyo Haneda Frequency. After Delta announced it is reducing Haneda service for the winter season, American told DOT in a filing that it “vigorously opposes any use of these valuable Haneda rights on a seasonal basis,” and requested a reallocation of the frequency for its own daily year-round Boeing 777 service from Los Angeles, beginning January 15. Hawaiian also asked for the frequency. Delta responded in its filing that it complies with DOT requirements. 5. FAA, Industry Announce Plan To Accelerate NextGen. Benefits of key NextGen initiatives will be accelerated over the next three years, according to a plan FAA and the NextGen Advisory Committee submitted to Congress. FAA will institute new procedures through use of Multiple Runway Operations at 36 airports to increase efficiency and reduce flight delays. Satellite-based Performance Based Navigation will be deployed in Northern California, Atlanta and Charlotte metropolitan areas to provide Kirstein & Young PLLC / Attorneys at Law November 2014 — Page 2 Washington Aviation Summary more direct flight paths, improved arrival rates, enhanced controller productivity, increased safety due to repeatable and predictable flight paths, fuel savings and reduced environmental impact. Increased Surface Operation data sharing will raise predictability and provide actionable and measurable surface efficiency improvements at airports. FAA is accelerating work on Data Communications services, which upgrades communication between pilots, air traffic controllers and airline operations centers from voice to digital. Industry stakeholders are responsible for ensuring pilot awareness of new runway and airspace procedures, equipping aircraft with DataComm technology, collaborating with FAA on performance based navigation airspace redesign, and data sharing. In September, House Aviation Subcommittee Chairman Frank LoBiondo (R-NJ) and Ranking Member Rick Larsen (D-WA) asked DOT Secretary Anthony Foxx to meet an October 18 deadline for the plan. 6. DOT Air Travel Consumer Report for August. Based on data filed by largest U.S. airlines. Aug. July Full Year ‘14 / ‘13 ‘14 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 On-time arrivals % 77.7 / 78.8 75.6 78.34 81.85 79.6 79.8 79.5 Cancellations % 1.2 / 1.0 1.6 1.51 1.29 1.91 1.76 1.39 Mishandled baggage* 3.69 / 3.12 3.55 3.22 3.09 3.35 3.51 3.91 Consumer complaints: Airline service 1,602 / 1,314 1,653 13,168 15,338 11,546 10,988 8,821 Disability-related 83 / 84 71 679 741 628 572 519 Discrimination** 7 / 5 7 79 99 128 143 131 Note: In August, airlines reported one tarmac delay of more than three hours on a domestic flight and none of more than four hours on an international flight. * Reports per 1,000 passengers. **e.g., race, religion, national origin or sex. Kirstein & Young PLLC / Attorneys at Law November 2014 — Page 3 Washington Aviation Summary II. AIRPORTS 1. “The Wright Amendment Is Now History.” As a Southwest flight departed Dallas Love Field for Denver on the morning of October 13, CEO Gary Kelly exclaimed, “The Wright Amendment is now history.” The 1980 federal regulation restricted long-haul flights from Love to protect Dallas/Fort Worth Airport,

  • India – Netherlands Relations Since 1947, Indo-Dutch Relations Have
    India – Netherlands Relations Since 1947, Indo-Dutch relations have been excellent, marked by strong economic and commercial ties, based on foundation of shared democratic ideals, pluralism, multiculturalism and rule of law. Indo-Dutch relations have been multi-faceted and encompass close cooperation in various areas including political, economy, academics and culture. Since the early 1980s, the Dutch Government has identified India as an important economic partner. The relations underwent further intensification after India’s economic liberalisation in the 1990s with growing recognition of India as an attractive trade and investment partner. In light of convergence of economic and political interests, both countries see value in enhanced dialogue and have constantly striven to strengthen bilateral relations by leveraging each other’s strengths and are currently collaborating in strengthening and expanding the framework of cooperation in various areas like trade and investment, science and technology, information and communication technology, education and culture. There have been periodic high-level exchanges including the visit of Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh to Netherlands in 2004, followed by visits of Dutch Prime Minister Mr. Jan Peter Balkenende in January 2006 and the second State visit of Queen Beatrix to India in 2007. Other visits include:- Visits from Netherlands: November 2007: Foreign Trade Minister Mr. Frank Heemskerk.

  • Turbulence Before Takeoff
    Turbulence before takeoff A research into aviation taxation policy developments in the Netherlands Thesis – 30 ECTS M.Sc. Sustainable Development Earth System Governance Faculty of Geosciences Lukas Jansen - 5853443 [email protected] July 2018 A RESEARCH INTO AVIATION TAXATION POLICY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE NETHERLANDS Abstract This research looks into the policy developments of aviation taxation, specifically framing the Netherlands as the country of interest. As it becomes ever more clear that the aviation industry has a negative impact on the climate through greenhouse gas emissions, society is in need of sustainable solutions for this sector. Seeing how aviation has come to be a vital element in the global scheme of trade and leisure, this solution is not easily identified and adopted. New measures are being developed or are already in place on the international level, but individual countries do sometimes feel the obligation to take action themselves. In the Netherlands, travellers have been subject to a flight ticket tax, which was implemented by the Dutch government in the summer of 2008. Exactly one year later, this tax was repealed. Several years after this happened, a new Dutch government – formed in the end of 2017 – has announced possible implementation of a similar tax. Taking the events in 2008 and 2009 as the focal point, this research deploys a discourse network analysis to give further insights into the policy developments that have taken place. Data is gathered from three prominent Dutch newspapers over different time periods, ranging from 1990 to 2018. The data is coded into statements in Discourse Network Analyzer, which builds up a database with information relating to opinions of organisations.

  • The Dutch Debate on Enlargement
    Communicating Europe Manual: The Netherlands Information and contacts on the Dutch debate on the EU and enlargement to the Western Balkans Supported by the Strategic Programme Fund of the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office 23 November 2009 www.esiweb.org 2 Communicating Europe: The Netherlands Manual ABOUT THIS MANUAL Who shapes the debate on the future of EU enlargement in The Netherlands today? This manual aims to provide an overview by introducing the key people and key institutions. It starts with a summary of core facts about the Netherlands. It also offers an overview of the policy debates in The Netherlands on the EU, on future enlargement and the Western Balkans. Space is also given to the media landscape; TV, radio and print media and the internet-based media. Any debate in a vibrant democracy is characterised by a range of views. Nonetheless, when it comes to Dutch views on EU enlargement, the people included in this manual are certainly among the most influential. This manual draws on detailed research carried out by ESI from 2005 to 2006 on enlargement fatigue in the Netherlands and on the Dutch debate on Turkey. Fresh research has also been carried out in 2009 especially for the Communicating Europe workshop co-sponsored by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, with the Robert Bosch Stiftung and the European Fund for the Balkans.

    Nieuwsbrief jaargang 2, 11 september 2012 Verkiezingsnummer 5 'Oneliners over Europa' Partners De verkiezingscampagne is te veel blijven te steken in te veel 'retoriek', 'snelle statements' en 'pakkende oneliners’ over Europa. Terugblikkend op de - aflopende - campagne voor de Tweede Kamerverkiezingen, maakt Aalt Willem Heringa, staatsrechthoogleraar in Maastricht, een eerste balans op. 'Politieke partijen spreken realistischer en deels met meer compassie over de Europese Unie', signaleert Heringa, directeur van het Montesquieu Instituut in 'U hebt bewondering voor Maastricht. 'Als de verkiezingen al een referendum over Europa zijn, dan lijkt elkaar en u geeft precies er een ruime pro-Europa meerderheid te zijn'. dezelfde oplossingen. Dat wordt een goed kabinet.' Maar die meerderheid heeft nagelaten in diezelfde verkiezingscampagne aan te geven dat overdracht van meer bevoegdheden van ‘Den Haag’ naar Gespreksleider Twan Huys ‘Brussel’ gepaard moet gaan met meer Europese effectiviteit, legitimiteit en gisteren in Nieuwsuur tegen de controle.
