...GLADSTONE AIRPORT PROJECT PLANNING REPORT PROJECT PLANNING REPORT Upgrade of Gladstone Airport Background Gladstone Airport services the Gladstone region located some 500 kilometres north of Brisbane and comprising three former local government areas – the harbour city of Gladstone, and the Calliope and Miriam Vale shires. The airport is currently operated by the Gladstone Regional Council following recent council amalgamations and dissolution of the Gladstone-Calliope Aerodrome Board on 14 March 2008. The airport caters primarily for business travellers and freight activities associated with the region’s developed and emerging industrial complexes. Regular public transport (RPT) services are currently provided by QantasLink utilising primarily Dash 8 Series Q400 aircraft. Continuing growth can be expected with over $14 billion worth of projects committed and/or planned in the next 5 years and with large scale stocks of land set aside for longer term expansion in the Gladstone State Development Area. Since 1998 airport expansion has been guided by a Development Plan which the Aerodrome Board updated in 2004 to take particular account of current and likely future aircraft types and stronger growth in passenger numbers than previously forecast. The forecasts prepared for the 2004 plan envisaged that the majority of RPT services would be provided in the short term by the Dash 8-300 aircraft and in the medium to long term by regular scheduled services by 70 seat aircraft such as...

...SOMETHING ABOUT MICROBLOG MARKETING LET’S STRAT FROM NO.100 COFFEE STORE On the way to No.100 coffee store,I felt excited and nervous.That was the second time I visited there.I knew this coffee store through the sina microblog. Several days ago,I logged on my account then a new fan jumped out, named “No.100 coffee”. According to its marketing style I guessed it must be operated by a young guy who is creative and wants to do something special. However, something interesting appeared in the later concern. No.100 is located at Wudadao Sightseeing Street district, where is filled with historical and cultural atmosphere. Around the coffee store, the old-fashioned European buildings perfectly set the movie scene of a typical street-side coffee bar in Europe. Slowly step into the No.100, you can see the simple but cozy decoration, the soft fabric sofas in the living room, and the traditional Chinese tea set on the desk, and there is a large cabinet of personal collections from the shareholders’ donation. Besides, there is a wall displaying the colorful postcards sent by customers from all over the world. All these tiny details make this little coffee store more like a warm family house rather than a fancy bar. After walking around the rooms I chose a sofa by the window in the living room. Because I had visited here a few days ago and had a chat with the waiters, they remembered me and knew why I was here for the second time. However...

...inviting. Today fine dining can be in any type of setting and provide feature a wide variety of cuisine. Standards you should always include in fine dining are fine china, glassware and flatware (absolutely no paper, plastic, or Styrofoam). While tablecloths are hard to escape in fine dining, the rest of the atmosphere is up to your creativity. We can take the traditional route, with silver candelabras and Rose centerpieces, or go for hip and trendy with a bold color scheme and modern furnishings. Music playing subtly in the background should reflect your theme, such as classical for a traditional fine dining restaurant or jazz tunes for something modern. Lighting should also be subtle, leaning toward dim but romantic. MACRO INDUSTRY ANALYSIS FOR FINE DINE RESTAURENT IN GENEVA USING PESTEL The restaurant concepts of fine dine in Geneva depend upon a number of industry-specific and general economic, political, legal and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

...Literature Review Green manufacturing is a manufacturing measure that produces minimal waste and pollution. This is done through product and process design. With modifications to the production or manufacturing process of an organization, the entire process will release lesser toxic waste or use lesser energy. Green manufacturing addresses process redundancy, ergonomics, and cost implications due to faulty methods of producing goods (Balan, 2008). A good example of faulty methods of producing goods would be the mining of gold. The mining of gold involves the release of mercury from waste rock when it is exposed to normal temperatures because the evaporation point for mercury is a lot lower than normal metals (Engle MA, Gustin MS, Zhang H, 2001) Once in the atmosphere, it can be deposited in soils and waters, hence causing harm to the environment or the people who would later drink from the water. The Clinton White House defined green manufacturing as a process that reduces human and ecological tasks, enhances, cost effectiveness, improves process efficiency, and creates products and processes that are environmental friendly and benign (President, 1995). Having this stated, green manufacturing is a process that improves productivity, competitiveness, and profitability. The benefits of having a green manufacturing process in an organization’s production are immeasurable. While it may be tough and expensive to implement a greener technology in a production, green technology...

...ABSTRACT Since 2000 Indian aviation industry has been recording steady growth. The role of the private airline sector has become very significant with the increase in domestic air traffic and the increased purchasing power of the growing middle-class. The arrival of LCCs (Low Cost Carriers) revolutionised Indian aviation industry and air travel hit an all-time-high. As more and more players arrived at the aviation scene the competition grew. Heavy price-cuts and discount offers against a background of rising operational costs proved detrimental, with almost every airliner reporting huge losses. The industry, taking cue from the global developments had moved towards consolidation of stakes so as to scale down excess competition. Many mergers and acquisitions took place which may result in significant synergies in the industry. This strategy to tie-up with the competitor rather than bleed millions by way of losses is seen as an exemplary move towards healthy competition. The opportunities as well as the challenges these mergers bring to the aviation industry is to be seen. This is about the air-side of the coin. And the land-side development mainly based on the revenue generated by the airport authorities. The study mainly goes through the landside development constituting the study of public private partnership in development of the airport city. This report mainly consists of the study of the industrial sector and how the development is sustained. Organization selected for...

...Refuelling Schedule for Airports By Kiran R K Jitha Babu Shyam S Sreeraj S CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 REFUELLING Refuelling is an important aspect with respect to the airports since it determines the ground time of an aero plane. Aircraft fuelling can take up to 90 minutes of ground time. Hence, precise planning and allocation is absolutely essential. Once a flight lands in an airport it has to be refueled for the next flight. The quantity of fuel required depends on the distance it has to travel to reach the next station and type of flight. Aviation fuel is a specialized type of petroleum-based fuel used to power aircraft. It is generally of a higher quality than fuels used in less critical applications such as heating or road transport, and often contains additives to reduce the risk of icing or explosion due to high temperatures, amongst other properties. Aviation fuels consist of blends of over a thousand chemicals, primarily Hydrocarbons (paraffins, olefins, naphthenes, and aromatics) as well as additives such as antioxidants and metal deactivators, and impurities. Principal components include n-octane and isooctane. Like other fuels, blends of Aviation fuel are often described by their...
