ALPA CANADA ADAMANTLY OPPOSES REPORTED AVIATION SECURITY CUTS

OTTAWA–The Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l, (ALPA) today voiced dismay at recent news media reports indicating that budget cuts have lead to a 25% reduction in force of air marshal personnel in the Canadian Air Carrier Protective Program (CACPP).

Capt. Craig Hall, director of the ALPA Canada National Security Committee, said, “When we consider that not even a year has passed since the Northwest Flight 253 near-disaster over Canadian soil on Christmas Day and the recent reports of heightened concerns regarding possible terrorist attacks in Europe, ALPA firmly believes that this is not the time to cut back on one of the most effective terrorism deterrents we have.”

“The value of the CACPP and the cooperation that exists between the program and airline pilots are essential elements in protecting our passengers and valued resources from acts of terrorism,” said Capt. Dan Adamus, president of the ALPA Canada Board. “As a result, ALPA strongly supports the program and its objectives. Intelligence agencies repeatedly tell us that, although specific threats do not currently exist for this country, Canada nevertheless remains at risk from terrorism.”

Capt. John Prater, ALPA’s president, summed up the Association’s concerns saying, “This program, and its counterpart in the United States, are time-proven security measures that benefit all travellers in North America. If these reports are correct, we strongly urge decision-makers to reconsider these cuts that will weaken the layers of security responsible for the continued safety of the travelling public.”

NAV CANADA ANNOUNCES YEAR END FINANCIAL RESULTS

NAV CANADA today released its financial results for the year ended August 31, 2010. The results show continued success in controlling costs during a period of weak air traffic revenues, while maintaining safe and efficient air navigation services. In fiscal 2010, the Company had an excess of expenses over revenues and other income before rate stabilization of $ 21 million compared to $ 26 million in fiscal 2009.

Air traffic levels were 0.8 per cent lower in fiscal 2010 than in the prior year. However, traffic grew by 2.8 per cent during the fourth quarter when compared to the same period last year. The Company finished the year with a negative* balance of $ 20 million in its rate stabilization account. However, when adjusted for rate setting purposes, there is a positive* "notional" balance in the rate stabilization account of $ 92 million, which reflects the Company's expectation that the market value portion of the fair value adjustments to the carrying value of its restructured notes and asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) investments will be recovered over the terms of these investments. The current "notional" balance is very close to the fiscal year 2010 target positive balance of $ 93 million.

"Air traffic growth in the first part of fiscal 2010 mirrored the less-than-robust recovery in the global economy, which is reflected in our annual revenues," said John Crichton, NAV CANADA President & CEO. "Traffic began to grow more strongly in the fourth quarter. Throughout the year, our employees once again contributed to our efforts to control costs in line with safety, thus allowing us to maintain a positive notional balance in our rate stabilization account.

"We will continue to actively monitor economic and industry conditions. While a service charge increase is not required at this time, there may be a requirement to adjust charges in 2011 - depending on traffic and the revenue environment. Such an increase would be based on the principle of cost recovery, and subject to appropriate consultation and notification."

NAV CANADA service charges have gone up by only five per cent since they were fully implemented eleven years ago in 1999 - 20 percentage points below the rate of inflation. Service charge reductions implemented in 2006 and 2007 are still in effect.

The Company's revenues before rate stabilization for fiscal 2010 were $ 1,154 million, compared to $ 1,163 million for the previous year.

Operating expenses before rate stabilization for the current fiscal year were $ 933 million as compared to $ 905 million in fiscal 2009, after capitalizing $ 44 million more of internal labour and travel costs than in the prior year, in accordance with the Company's revised accounting policy. Operating expenses in fiscal 2010 were higher due to an increase of $ 25 million in pension expense and the recording in fiscal 2009 of a $40 million one-time gain on curtailment and settlement within a post-employment benefit plan. Management continues to effectively manage headcount and overtime to offset somewhat higher compensation levels.

Interest, depreciation and amortization expense before rate stabilization totalling $ 247 million was $ 5 million lower than in the prior year. The fair value of the Company's investments in ABCP restructured notes remained stable at $ 203 million on holdings with a face value of $ 351 million. Of the total fair value provision of $ 148 million, $ 112 million is considered recoverable over the term of the notes.

The Company's Financial Statements, Annual Information Form and Management's Discussion and Analysis for the year ended August 31, 2010 are available on NAV CANADA's website at: www.navcanada.ca. NAV CANADA, the country's civil air navigation services provider, is a private sector, non-share capital corporation financed through publicly traded debt. With operations from coast to coast to coast, NAV CANADA provides air traffic control, flight information, weather briefings, aeronautical information services, airport advisory services and electronic aids to navigation.

SNOWBIRDS CELEBRATE 40 YEARS OF FLIGHT

MOOSE JAW, Sask. - The Canadian Forces Snowbirds Demonstration Team is marking its 40th Anniversary this weekend with performances at 15 Wing Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

Based out of 15 Wing Moose Jaw, the Snowbirds are comprised of 85 Canadian Forces members, both Regular and Reserve Force, who come from various military backgrounds and experience. Canadians have been connecting with the Snowbirds and their tradition of excellence for 40 years. During the 2010 show season the Snowbirds completed 60 performances at 35 different locations around North America. The Snowbirds are the only air demonstration team in North America to perform with nine jets flying in close formation.

"The Snowbirds are one of Canada's most recognized and treasured national symbols," said the Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence. "The Snowbirds are outstanding international ambassadors for Canada and I congratulate the entire Snowbirds team, as well as the Air Force, for the long-standing tradition of aviation excellence and showmanship."

"The Snowbirds have given Canadians great shows over the years and, in turn, Canadians have given them their support," said Lieutenant-General André Deschamps, Chief of the Air Staff. "The aerobatic grace of the CT-114 Tutor aircraft has remained fresh and inspiring, and Canadians can be proud of their world-class Canadian Forces air demonstration team."

"We have grown and evolved over the years thanks to the support of Canadians," said Lieutenant-Colonel Maryse Carmichael, Commanding Officer 431 Air Demonstration Squadron. "We train to achieve aviation excellence because we know that spectators deserve a spectacular performance every time we take to the skies."

The 40th anniversary season of the Snowbirds will wrap up over the weekend with many festivities as friends and members of the team, past and present, converge in Moose Jaw to mark the historic occasion. The festivities will culminate over the friendly prairie community when the team will soar through the last performance of the season.

PORTER AIRLINES CELEBRATES FOURTH ANNIVERSARY

TORONTO– Porter Airlines is celebrating its fourth anniversary on October 23. The airline has operated over 86,000 flights and, this week, carried its three millionth passenger.

Highlights of the airline’s success in the past year include adding Moncton, Sudbury, and Myrtle Beach as destinations, while service also expanded in Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax, Boston, New York, and Mont Tremblant. The Porter team has grown to over 1,000 employees, up from 700 at this time last year.

The airline’s expanding fleet now includes 20 70-seat Bombardier Q400 aircraft. A recent order for up to 10 additional aircraft potentially brings the fleet size to 30 by 2012.

“Porter takes an uncompromising approach to customer service. This, coupled with our philosophy of providing hassle-free, dignified travel leaves a lasting, positive impression on our passengers,” said Robert Deluce, president and CEO of Porter Airlines. “We’re proud to be celebrating four years of successful service based on the efforts of every team member at Porter.”

A new $49 million dollar modern terminal, including two passenger lounges with well-appointed features and an array of free amenities, is nearing completion at Porter’s main base of operations at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.

Porter now serves 14 destinations across Canada and the United States, a considerable increase from the single route between Toronto City Airport and Ottawa when the airline launched in 2006.

Indian aviation gear makers set for takeoff

Indian companies producing aviation products could go global post the visit of the US President, Mr Barack Obama.

This follows indications that India and the US could ink the Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement (BASA) during the Presidential visit. This would lead to mutual acceptance of each others aeronautical products and parts developed in either country.

“An executive agreement is likely to be signed during the visit which could open a host of business opportunities for Indian aviation companies,” official sources told Business Line. Mr Obama is expected to begin his visit in the first week of next month.

A team from the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) was here in August for 15 days and visited facilities in Delhi and Bangalore to study certification procedures for engines, propellers and design of aircraft and components being produced here, sources said. The Indian authorities have already demonstrated to the FAA a life raft that can hold four people.

Officials indicated that the signing of the agreement could also pave the way for products certified by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) being accepted in the global aviation market. “India is making the 15-seater SARAS aircraft and a regional transport aircraft is on the drawing board. If the agreement is signed, then these two products could also be marketed globally as the FAA certification is accepted globally,” officials said.

At Mumbai airport two bird hits in day

On Thursday morning, two Kingfisher flights suffered from bird-hits at the Mumbai airport during landing. However, confusion prevailed as Kingfisher airlines (KFA) and Mumbai International Airport Limited (Mial) gave different flight numbers for the bird-hits.
The airline maintained that only one flight had had a bird-hit. Kingfisher airline flight IT 3162 Hyderabad-Mumbai was landing on Mumbai runway at 9.36am when a bird hit its engine. There were 136 passengers on board the Airbus 320, and the plane landed safely at 9.38am. “After the inspection, traces of the dead bird were found by the aircraft maintenance engineer in the engine,” said a source from the airport.
Within the next 30 minutes, KFA’s Delhi-Mumbai flight IT 304 had a bird-hit during final approach (landing) at the Mumbai airport.

Noise: IAF planes on radar

NEW DELHI: In the first ever move of its kind in India to mitigate noise pollution around an airport, the aviation ministry and DGCA have asked the defence ministry to avoid flying their old and extremely noisy military aircraft in and out of Delhi airport. At the same time realising the security requirements, the aviation authorities have suggested a practical alternate also by suggesting the movement of such aircraft be limited to runway 27 (that's closest to Dwarka side). Reason: Its approach path passes over the least number of residential colonies as compared to the final approach of other two runways and would hence disturb the least number of people.

Highly placed sources said this move is a direct fallout of residents living in colonies near IGI approaching the Delhi high court over the issue of noise from airport at night. The DGCA is already proposing to ban movement of noisy old aircraft that fall in chapter-II of International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) like the Boeing 737-200 or the Russian IL-76 from IGI between 10pm and 6am from October 31. In India, Alliance Air and Blue Dart use the B 737-200 as cargo aircraft.

While ICAO Chapter-II rules apply to civil aircraft, residents have moved court against noise from movement of all kind of planes at night. Which means defence planes can't be excluded from the list of noise mitigation measures list being drawn up. That's why the aviation authorities have written to the defence ministry in the backdrop of the high court case. The issue of reducing noise levels has to be tackled at several levels, including the way aircraft are flown in final approach; having noise barriers around the airport and limiting movement of old planes. We are going to take up the issue with each of the parties concerned,'' said a senior official.

The armed forces have some very old, but airworthy, planes. These include the Indian Air Force's over 100 Antonov-32s and the Navy's eight Tupolev-142s and five Ilyushin-38s. The last two are maritime reconnaissance aircraft and Delhi witnesses high movement of the AN-32s. The AN-32s are approaching the end of their total technical life of 25 years and the government has gone in for a $400 million upgradation and life extension programme that includes improving their avionic to make them quieter.

In the west, airports remain close at night so that people living nearby can sleep peacefully. Chapter-II aircraft are banished from many airports even during day. With people living in Indian metros also moving court now on the issue of airport noise, it's just a matter of time before the country takes firm steps in this direction. A beginning has been made with night curfew at IGI's latest runway, but authorities say many more steps would be taken soon.

At Kolkata airport- Plane hit by cart

Kolkata: The chartered aircraft of Joyce Meyer, a leading practical Bible teacher, was badly damaged when an inebriated staffer of a private airline rammed his cart into the plane on Wednesday night. The evangelist and her team are on an Asia missions trip to Thailand and India and are currently in Kolkata where conferences and sessions titled Festival of Life are scheduled from October 21 to 24. The errant driver has been suspended.
Routine operations were under way at Kolkata airport on Wednesday night when the driver of a Kingfisher Airlines push-back cart, Ram Singh, rammed the vehicle into the plane parked in a poorly-lit section of the airport at 10.30pm. The cart's upper part tore into the wing of the plane, ripping a portion off the body.
A probe initiated into the incident by the DGCA official in Kolkata revealed that Singh was already inebriated when he reported for duty at 9pm.
The plane, a Gulfstream Aerospace IV aircraft (registration no. N7 JM), had landed in Kolkata the previous evening at 6.30pm. On board were three crew members and nine passengers, including evangelists Dave and Joyce Meyer, pastors Tommy Barnett and Dino Rizzo and worship leader Darlene Zschech.

Suicide Presents Sad Side of OFW Struggles

MANILA, Philippines – An alliance of overseas Filipino workers in the Middle East Thursday said the case of a migrant worker committing suicide on board a Gulf Air flight from Abu Dhabi to Manila is a sad twist of an overseas Filipino worker's (OFW) struggle, a twist that shocked not only the Filipino community and OFWs abroad but the whole Filipino nation.

“His so far is the saddest of all the OFWs struggles of life and death, aside from those who have been victims of abuses," John Leonard Monterona, Migrante-Middle East regional coordinator, said in a statement.

According to news reports, Marlon Cueva, 36, of Lubang Island in Mindoro Occidental, worked as an electrician in Abu Dhabi barely three months from his deployment.

He was among the passengers of GF-154 flight which landed at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 at around 11:20 a.m. last Wednesday.

Monterona, who is an OFW himself based in Saudi Arabia, said returning OFWs would be normally happy that they would be meeting their loved ones after years of working in a foreign land "no matter how hard they have worked abroad, with or without earnings and 'pasalubong', just to be home and reunited with their loved ones."

Monterona said Cueva's case is another face of a struggling OFW, "like many others whose pure intent is to work to give decent living for their children."

Monterona cited the case of an OFW who dumped her newly born child on a Gulf Air's trash bin before the flight landed.

"These two cases, aside from the 7 to ten cases of abuses, maltreatment, and labor malpractices we have been receiving daily in the Middle East, which we have been consistently reporting to concerned government agencies and to the public, are serious concerns that need special attention," Monterona said.

Meanwhile, the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) said it is readying the benefits for the family of the overseas Filipino workers who allegedly committed suicide inside the toilet of Gulf Air plane last Wednesday morning.

OWWA Administrator Carmelita Dimzon said that Cueva’s family is entitled to OWWA’s benefit because the victim registered as member of their agency when he left the country last July 5.

Dimzon said that the OWWA is already preparing the checks to be given to the family of Cueva amounting to P100,000 plus P20,000 assistance for burial.

She also said that the OWWA will also help one Cueva’s children by giving a scholarship grant and will provide P40,000 worth of merchandise to his wife to start a “nego-cart” business.

OWWA records show the Cueva left the country last July 5 after being hired by International Mechanical and Electrical Company in the United Arab Emirates to work as electrician-technician.

After learning of the incident, Dimzon immediately ordered a check on Cueva’s status as an OWWA member and to process the immediate release of his benefits.

According to a police report, Cueva was among the passengers of GF-152 flight which landed the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal I at around 11:20 a.m.

Aviation Security Group chief Senior Supt. Napoleon Cuaton said the victim was found hanging inside the lavatory at the rear of the Airbus 330 by flight stewardess a few minutes after it landed.

Cuaton said that investigators found the victim slumped on the aisle outside the lavatory lying face up, wearing black jacket and blue polo shirt.

He also said that the strangulation injuries found in the victim seems to be self-inflicted and probably used clothing article to hang himself because there no ropes or wires and the lavatory was intact.

“There are no signs of foul play. But we’ll leave it to our forensics experts to establish the suicide,” Cuaton said.

He added that a Filipino nurse, who was among the passengers, tried to revive Cueva.

It was also learned that Cueva’s “unusual actions” had caused some alarm shortly before the flight took off at Bahrain International Airport because the victim was approaching passengers and stewards alike, inexplicably apologizing for something.

“He was saying sorry for something and then shook their hands one by one. The stewardesses could not understand what he was saying so they requested the Filipino passengers to calm him down,” Cuaton said.

RP to benefit from better aviation infrastructure

THE Speaker of the House of Representatives has urged the Aquino government on Friday to improve aviation and tourist infrastructure in the country before discussing proposals to implement open skies policy to foreign carriers.
In an interview with reporters, Belmonte said that modernization of the country’s air tourism and transport infrastructure might be among the government’s targets that would make the country more competitive.

“I believe that hardly anybody flies to the Philippines anymore and I think it is the whole system, not only open skies, that should be considered to make us more competitive,” Belmonte said.

Belmonte said that Malaysia is now the main tourist destination in Asia, not because it offers better tourism centers but mainly because of its modern and latest facilities for visitors.

“We can’t just say that we have better and more beautiful beaches than our neighbors,” he stressed.

Belmonte is convinced that the Aquino government’s public-private partnership should cover the construction of much-needed infrastructure to make the Philippines more enticing to tourists and investors.

When asked if the Lower Congress would include the proposed open skies policy, the House speaker suggested a thorough legal study to determine whether it would be the executive or the legislative department that should start the crafting of policies to liberate the country’s air space.

Some countries have resorted to open skies in commercial aviation to liberalize rules for international aviation and limit government intervention, thereby improving foreign trade and tourism.

Guam-based Aviation Concepts expands to new markets

Aviation Concepts (ACI) announced that it has leased the former FedEx hangar located in Subic Bay, Philippines, and that the hangar is currently in the final stages of refurbishment. This 100,000 square foot facility is scheduled to be fully operational by November 15th, 2010, and will serve as the company’s second functional base in Asia-Pacific.

The center will offer FBO services to transient aircraft, seeking to market itself as a low cost alternative to popular locations in Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. In a memo released to the public, the company emphasized its desire to allow for quick technical stops, with inexpensive fueling and minimal handling fees.

ACI is expecting the convenience of a full service aviation facility centrally positioned in Asia to attract significant air traffic to the Subic Bay airport.

According to President and CEO Terry Habeck, “Subic Bay is poised to become one of the busier business aviation hubs in Asia as more owners and operators seek low cost solutions in the region.”

In addition to FBO services, the center will house factory-trained technicians available 24/7 to accommodate the maintenance needs of most long and medium range business jets. Because of its special economic status as a Freeport Zone, Subic Bay has the advantage of eliminating duties imposed on inbound aircraft parts, thereby avoiding custom holds.

As soon as November, Gulfstream, Challenger and Westwind aircraft will be available for charter, and ACI will begin offering aircraft management and air ambulance services from the new base.

BEST AVIATION NEWS

CHICAGO, Boeing (NYSE: BA) Vice President, Environment and Aviation Policy, Billy M Glover, issued the following statement in the wake of today's announcement by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Federal Aviation Administration that the two agencies have agreed to work together to bring sustainable biofuels into production for the aviation industry.
"Today's announcement is welcome news for the commercial aviation industry, which sees sustainable biofuels as a key element of its plan to lower its carbon emissions. Through test flights with a number of our customers, we have proven that fuels made from plant matter and algae can power jet aircraft safely and efficiently, and we look forward in the months ahead to the approval of these fuels for commercial use. The challenge then will be to prime the production pump, and bring biofuels to an attractive price point for airlines. Boeing is currently working with the USDA and the Air Transport Association on the Farm-to-Fly initiative, which seeks to encourage the production of sustainable aviation biofuels through U.S. agricultural policy. The USDA-FAA partnership will further help in that regard. We applaud their efforts and look forward to working with them to commercialize biofuels that can help the aviation industry meet its aggressive carbon reduction goals."
