...Air Transpor 1069917 5 May 2011 SFT 1007-1011 Introduction to air transport The impact of recession in air transport(passengers demand, economic cycles, current developments) The reports covers the entire aviation industry and will include the recession aspect and its consequences on the passengers demand, the economic cycle and also on the current developments. 1.0 Introduction One of the biggest international industries, the air transport, has the largest sensitivity on the economic crisis. That crisis hit and still continues to effect the populations, industries and economic growth in developed and developing countries. Every sector has been effected by the crisis, every industry has had a reaction and an immediate research for solutions. Instability of revenue and expenditure in the airline industry was effected from the global change. That for is easy to deduce that these reactions are different from each other. This in according to available founds, resources and differences in management. 2.0 Impacts on demand The demand aspect, is a factor that shows us the relationship between population and economic crisis. In fact, the perception of crisis brings different fears and uncertainty in people. Thus leading to an increase of the overall savings, with consequences under the economic factor, with less expenditure incurred by each person. This is one of the things that influenced more directly the airline industry, with a sharp drop in demand. Taking...

...or not. Funk, C. S. (1995). Human factors in flight instructor's guide. Brookfield, VT: Avebury Aviation. The books main purpose and goal is to provide accurate definitions of and ways to avoid human flight errors. Many of the errors described are common occurrences that if eliminated reduce the chance of airplane accidents and hopefully help to eliminate any human errors. The book consists of error classifications, human or machinery errors and human factors in aviation. The main undeniable point is that the underlying cause of machinery and human error is caused by either how well it can be built or the amount of trading that a pilot can go through. In an event of an accident, a whole list of certain checkpoints are reviewed and looked over. The foremost system reviewed is the human inputs, these are the most important yet uncontrollable parts of any incident. The source describes that only from a machine or the outside factors surrounding a pilot, can the pilot form a complete series of inductive reasoning solutions. The machine error only plays part if it is part of this reasoning process by contributing false inputs or information. Flight Instructor Notebook. (n.d.). Retrieved October 22, 2017, from http://www.bing.com/cr?IGh Aviation training is a system led to create and maintain a“systematic approach” to aviation safety.

...Aviation Maintenance from A Manger’s Perspective Lisa A. Williams Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Management 203 Christopher Urdzik April 26, 2015 Abstract This paper explores aviation maintenance from a Manager’s perspective. There are various governing bodies that control or oversee how maintenance is performed on a routine basis for commercial aircraft. The main governing body that is discussed here is the FAA. Also discussed is the required training of the Airframe and Powerplant mechanic and how management can be assured that mechanics are qualified to release aircraft after performing maintenance certifying these aircraft are safe to fly. Also, in this paper, the attempt is made to show where mechanics need ongoing training to assure management that the mechanic is trained on new technologies that are developed and used in commercial and corporate aviation. The answers are not mapped out by the FAA or training programs so it is up to the company to be sure that the mechanic is made aware of these new technologies through FAA study groups that managers can attend and brief technicians on new developments. Human error cannot be eradicated it is indispensable fact of the human behavior (Maddox, 1998). Although, aviation maintenance managers have acquired high levels of technological skills training related to their profession, the above statement from Dr. Michael Maddox is true in regards to human error. Research in the industrial...

The aviation community has led the way in promoting advances aimed at reducing its environmental footprint for many years. Aviation emissions only make up a fraction of all of the transportation emissions, while business aviation makes up an even smaller fraction of that. As an example of something to reduce emissions and optimize aircraft performance and flight range over a decade ago winglets were introduced into general aviation. This equipment also contributed to more efficient fuel burn and is now in place on a large number of general aviation aircraft. In addition, the industry continues to reduce engine emissions by applying new technologies, which means that today’s aircraft engines are cleaner, quieter, and more fuel-efficient than ever. Operational improvements advanced by business aviation also have resulted in national airspace system efficiencies that help the environment. Over two years ago, NBAA members began equipping aircraft, at their own cost, with cockpit technology allowing for reduced vertical separation minimums (RVSM), effectively doubling the system’s airspace capacity. In spite...

...Air Transportation Management The Impact of General Aviation General aviation is considered one of the three main segments of the aviation market. The other two being commercial aviation and military aviation. General aviation operations are anything other than military and common carriage. Without general aviation, the industry would suffer in countless ways, possibly even collapse. General aviation includes, literally, every other civilian job except for the few related to the airline sector. What I consider the most important ones are aerial firefighting, flight instructing, pipeline patrol, corporate, bush piloting, agricultural, and test piloting. Flight instructing is one of the most important jobs that there is in the aviation industry. It is where pilots obtain the proper training and skills necessary to be safe and adequate. I believe flight instructing is most likely the most underrated and underpaid job in the aviation industry. Without this job, all pilots would have to come from the military, which would cause a severe shortage of pilots. Pipeline patrol requires pilots to fly aircraft at very low altitudes over varying terrain to observe pipelines and check for any problems or vandalism within the lines. Another type of this job is for pilots to patrol the U.S. borders in search for illegal activities. Without either of these general aviation jobs, more resources and man hours would be required to check oil pipelines and secure our borders. Corporate flying...

...Approach Note: The flow of the case will be as follows: Industry Analysis The Indian aviation sector can be traced back to early 1910s. However, prior to economic liberalization in 1991, the aviator industry was mainly controlled by the government. Post 1991, private airlines were allowed to provide air service under “Open Sky Policy”. Since then several private airlines have ventured in the aviation business and the air traffic has also seen rapid growth. This led to intense competition and only a few managed to survive. Today, Indian aviation industry is one of the fastest growing aviation industries in the world. It is dominated by low cost carriers. The civil aviation industry is likely to register a CAGR of 16% for period 2010-2013. Introduction to Indigo Along with the venture of several private players came the trend for low cost private airlines, which promised a huge market in the Indian air space. IndiGo, from InterGlobe Enterprises was one among the major private players who pitched in to capitalize the untapped market in 2006. From its incubation days, IndiGo concentrated on its low cost and efficient model of operations, which sustained its business in a big way during the troubled market situations and rising oil prices. Within the first year of its operations, IndiGo grew exponentially in all spheres. Starting with owning 15 aircraft's within 2 years, IndiGo replaced the state run carrier Air India as the top third airline in India. There was no looking back...

In today’s ever-changing and innovative world, aviation provides a vital link to economic opportunities at home and abroad. In the wake of global economic and financial uncertainties, runways have become the new main streets for cities and towns to get down to business and soar once more. In 2009, civil aviation supported over 10 million jobs, contributed $1.3 trillion in total economic activity and accounted for 5.2 percent of total U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Civilian aircraft engines, equipment and parts also contribute $75 billion toward the U.S. trade balance. Civilian aircraft engines, equipment and parts have been the top net export for the past decade. Our economic success clearly depends on the success of aviation. So the Federal...

...CASE STUDY IMAGE MAKEOVER AT INDIAN AIRLINES The Indian Aviation industry is the fastest growing market in the world after China and Japan. Until the liberalization in the early 90’s, the Indian Civil aviation Industry was controlled by the government of India. In the mid 90’s, the airline Industry opened up with the entry of new private carriers. Industry figures indicate the domestic passenger segment growth to be at 12% P a. and growth for international segment at 7%. A report from the Ministry of Civil aviation estimates that by the year 2010, 25 to 40 million international passengers will fly through Indian airports, while around 45 to 70 million passengers will be flying in the domestic front. At present, the market leader, “Jet airways” along with “Air sahara” controls 46% of the Market share, while “Indian”controls 25%. “Air Deccan controls 13% and Spice jet 6% with Kingfisher having 8% share. Indian Airlines commenced operations in the year 1953, with an initial capital of Rs.3.25 Crores, under the Air Corporation Act. It was formed by nationalizing and merging a group of eight airlines. The Airline was primarily interested with the task of serving the domestic sector and neighbouring countries. Over the years, combined with Air India, it had a near total monopoly over the Indian Skies. On December 7, 2005, Indian Airlines went in for a name Change and has dropped the word “Airlines”.

...aerospace technology in the international system, weather modification, and air safety and international aviation relations. Significant progress and expansion in the scope of air transport services and technology earned the sector a distinguishing worldwide appeal. The latter is the most outstanding feature of the industry, which allowed, "Every part of the world [to be reached] within a few hours of every other and, in doing so … brought about a revolution in world trade, in business contacts, and in methods of diplomacy (Goh 1995).” The ethics of air law have been advancing at a rapid pace since the start of the 21st Century; conversely, they continue lacking to meet the standards of modern society. Anxiety for this massive evolution and the associated repercussions twisted the impetus to concoct a method to ensure logical and applicable growth. Thus, "The general policy of the world community in regard to emerging issues of air law demands the maintenance and promotion of a balance between technological advance in aviation and the preservation of a wholesome environment by providing adequate policies and prescriptions (Bhatt 1984).” The original governing treaty, approved in 1929, is branded as the Warsaw Convention. The Warsaw Convention is a multilateral treaty among nations that governs international air transportation. It was built on the impression that, because aviation was still relatively young, there was a risk of devastating the airline carrier if there was a tragic...

Accordingly the corpus fund titled India Infrastructure Project Development Fund (IIPDF) has been created in Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance, Government of India with an initial corpus of Rs. 100 Crore for supporting the development of credible and bankable Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects that can be offered to the private sector. The IIPDF has been created with initial budgetary outlay by the Ministry of Finance, Government of India. The procurement costs of PPPs, and particularly the costs of Transaction Advisors, are significant and often pose a burden on the budget of the Sponsoring Authority. Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) has identified the IIPDF as a mechanism through which Sponsoring Authority will be able to source funding to cover a portion of the PPP transaction costs, thereby reducing the impact of costs related to procurement on their budgets. From the Government of India’s perspective, the IIPDF must increase the quality and quantity of bankable projectsthat are processed through the Central or States project pipeline. The IIPDF will be available to the Sponsoring Authorities for PPP projects for the purpose of meeting the project development costs which may include the expenses...

BHATIA, TYBMM 2012 HISTORY OF CIVIL AVIATION The history of Indian civil aviation began with its first domestic air route between Karachi and Delhi in December 1912. It was opened by the Indian Air Services in collaboration with the UK based Imperial Airways as an extension of London-Karachi flight of the Imperial Airways. Without any backing from the Indian Government, Tata Sons Ltd., the first Indian airline, started a regular airmail service between Karachi and Madras three years later. During the time of independence, nine air transport companies were carrying both air cargo and passengers in the Indian Territory. To further strengthen the aviation sector of India, the Indian Government and Air India (earlier Tata Airline) set up a joint sector company, Air India International in early 1948. And the nationalization of Indian Airlines (IA) in 1953 brought the domestic civil aviation sector under the purview of Indian Government. Later the Government-owned airlines dominated Indian aviation industry till the mid-1990s. CIVIL AVIATION: BEFORE AND AFTER LIBERALIZATION Before Liberalization ...
