United Airlines will make changes for people with wheelchairs after a government investigation

Will There Ever Be A Boeing 797?

 

  •     The Boeing 797, a middle-of-the-market aircraft filling a gap between single-aisle and twin-aisle planes, has faced delays and uncertainties since it was first discussed in 2015.
  •     Despite initial interest from potential customers like United Airlines, the development of the Boeing 797 was put on hold in 2020 as Boeing focused on existing products and market reassessment.
  •     While the COVID-19 pandemic has further impacted the aviation industry and the NMA plans, Boeing's long-term outlook still suggests a potential new aircraft launch as early as 2034.

Spanish Police Board easyJet Airbus A320neo After Diversion Due To Rowdy Passengers



  •     EasyJet flight EZY34TV was diverted to Lanzarote due to rowdy passengers, resulting in a delay of 1 hour and 45 minutes.
  •     The Spanish police stormed the aircraft upon arrival and removed the disruptive passengers.
  •     The airline has apologized for the inconvenience caused and prioritizes the safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew.

Did The A220 Kill The Airbus A318?

 

  •     The Airbus A318, once considered a potential game-changer in commercial aviation, faced challenges including a decline in demand after the September 11 attacks and less competitive landing fees due to classification as a larger aircraft.
  •     The arrival of the Airbus A220 created competition within Airbus' own lineup, offering airlines greater flexibility, range, and capacity than the A318.
  •     The A220's superior economics, range, and passenger capacity made it a more compelling choice for airlines operating regional and short-haul routes, leading to a decline in A318 orders and production. Adaptability is key in the ever-competitive aviation industry.

Iberia Airport Services muestra su perplejidad ante la decisión de Aena sobre los nuevos concursos de handling

Iberia quiere expresar su perplejidad ante el resultado de los concursos de handling para prestar servicios de rampa a terceros clientes en aeropuertos españoles. 

  • La cualificación y la competitividad demostradas por Iberia Airport Services que, durante los últimos siete años, ha realizado una profunda transformación y ha seguido incorporando nuevos clientes a su cartera de forma significativa con un alto grado de satisfacción, no se ha visto reflejado en el resultado de este concurso.
  • En los aeropuertos donde no ha renovado la licencia -Barcelona, Mallorca, Málaga, Alicante, Gran Canaria, Tenerife Sur, Ibiza y Bilbao-, Iberia Airport Services opera con unos índices de puntualidad superiores del 99,5 por ciento, muy superior a lo exigido por el pliego y con un alto grado de satisfacción de sus clientes.
  • La oferta económica de Iberia Airport Services en todos estos aeropuertos incluía descuentos sustancialmente superiores a los del anterior concurso, en el que Iberia obtuvo una licencia en todos ellos.
  • Iberia Airport Services se ha comprometido a una inversión de más de 120 millones de euros en nuevos equipos, a renovar más del 80 por ciento de su flota por vehículos eléctricos y alcanzar emisiones netas 0 en 2025 en todos los aeropuertos, lo que demuestra el absoluto compromiso de Iberia con la sostenibilidad. 
  • La oferta de Iberia en términos técnicos superaba los requisitos recogidos en el pliego de Aena, acreditando la disposición de todos los certificados (de innovación, calidad, seguridad y sostenibilidad) que se valoraban en el concurso.
    Iberia comenzará todos los trámites necesarios para la revisión de las puntuaciones del concurso en cada aeropuerto donde no ha obtenido una de las licencias y ejercitará las acciones oportunas que le correspondan.
