The volatility of airline operators are the aspirations on setting up and operating an airline with all the content on the vision board as pitched by an appointed proponent but has no clue on what the airline aspiration or "want" to put it simply is all about. Thus, fly by night airlines and some that materialized are under the mediocre category. #justsaying #thinkingoutloud #airlineindustry

Airport security: Word's best airport security according to Skytrax: World airport awards: Security screening is even more of a bugbear to many than border control. But some airports make it less painful than others.  The winner of the award for World’s Best Airport Security Screening excelled the most in various aspects of the security process including waiting times, queuing systems, priority lanes, smart security options, preparation and repacking facilities, efficiency and courtesy of staff. And the winner in 2024 is Rome Fiumicino. “Rome Fiumicino Airport has invested significantly in technologies and services with the aim of making sure that passengers have an efficient and safe travel experience,” Skytrax CEO Edward Plaisted said.

RBI courses delivered simultaneously in 3 continents! Airlines are fully engaged in training their staff on the risk-based methodology in preparation for their upcoming audits. This week, we provided the Risk-Based IOSA Airline Training courses in Europe (Rome, Italy), North Asia (Tianjin, People’s Republic of China) and North America (Montreal, Canada). It is impressive to see this training being conducted simultaneously across three continents, emphasizing the global significance and importance of this program. The Montreal course had participating staff from Vueling Airlines, Philippine Airlines, and Air Transat which reflects the diverse representation and industry interest in adopting risk-based methodologies. I greatly enjoy personally meeting the participants who attended from these organizations. On a separate note, big kudos to JASON VANHEEMST who guided participants through the curriculum over the last five days with multiple opportunities for role play, group exercises and practical case studies. Many thanks to Serkan Simitcioglu, Head of IOSA who dedicated time to meet with the class and offer support, underscoring International Air Transport Association (IATA)'s commitment to fostering a collaborative transition for the participating airlines. Special appreciation to Natalia Horokhova for coordinating this course. If you would like to know more, please visit our website for further details: https://lnkd.in/e3zpdnKJ We hope to see you at our next public session at an IATA Training Center near you! ✈️ #IATA  #ProfessionalDevelopment #safetymanagement #iosa #qualitymanagement #iatatraining #training #aviation #aviationworld #aviationdaily #career #avgeek #traininglife #aviationlife #aviationtraining #classroom #learning #instructorled #airtransport #iata #riskbasediosa #continousprofessionaldevelopment #cpd #careergrowth #skills #upskilling #continouslearning

Ever wondered why you don't see 'fancy' registration numbers on Indian commercial aircraft? It's all about strict regulations and international standards Why Indian Airlines Can't Choose "Fancy" Registration Numbers Indian airlines are unable to directly purchase or choose "fancy" or customized registration numbers for their aircraft from the regulatory body. This is due to the stringent international standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which govern the aircraft registration process. How Aircraft Registration Works in India: 1. Standard Format: Each aircraft registered in India is assigned a registration number that begins with the country code "VT," followed by three letters or numbers of the owner's choice. For example, "VT-123". 2. Historical Context: The "VT" code was assigned to India during the International Radiotelegraph Convention of Washington in 1927. Changing this code would require grounding all aircraft, reissuing documents, and repainting the planes, which would impose a significant financial burden on airlines. Special Cases for Government VIP Aircraft: - VIP Aircraft: Some government VIP aircraft, such as the Boeing 777-300ERs used by the President, Vice President, and Prime Minister of India, have customized registration numbers like "K7066" and "K7067". - Assigned by Air Force: These special registrations are assigned by the Indian Air Force and are not available for commercial airlines to purchase. Regulation and Standardization: - Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA): The DGCA oversees the assignment of registration numbers for commercial aircraft in India, ensuring they adhere to the standardized VT registration format. - No Customization for Airlines: Unlike personal vehicle number plates, which can often be customized, the aircraft registration process is highly regulated and does not allow for such flexibility for commercial airlines. The registration process is standardized and regulated to maintain consistency and compliance with international aviation standards. While government VIP aircraft may have customized numbers, these are specific cases and not applicable to commercial airlines. #AviationRegulations #IndianAirlines #AircraftRegistration #DGCA #ICAO #AviationStandards #IndianAviation #AviationHistory #AircraftIdentification

The airline industry thrives on stability, but events like this show how vulnerable they can be to world events. Here's how these events can have a ripple effect:👇 🛡️Passenger Safety: Airlines prioritize passenger safety above all else. Incidents like these force them to make tough decisions, often leading to rerouting flights and potentially longer travel times. 🔴Operational Disruptions: Rerouting flights can disrupt schedules, impacting crew duty times and potentially causing delays for other flights. 💵Financial Strain: Geopolitical tensions can hurt airlines by making fuel prices unpredictable, which raises their costs. It can also increase insurance costs, putting more financial pressure on airlines that already operate on thin profit margins. 👥Passenger Confidence: News of instability can lead to decreased consumer confidence in air travel, affecting ticket sales and overall demand for flights. #aviation #indianaviation #airlineindustry #civilaviation #airindia #geopolitics #airtravel #passengersafety

One of my most vivid memories from childhood was climbing up the stairs of an airplane in Mumbai airport and looking at the engines. At that time all I could see was a big fan. Years later, I got to be up close with some huge engines on the A340 and the B777. My childlike amazement only grew at this marvel of human engineering. The science and the design behind these and how they power such huge machines for hours together is just incredible. Once you are inside the industry, you understand more the iconic companies that build these, the various names and letters that go on to become the identity of the engines. The beautiful paradox with Jet engines is that so much, yet so little has changed with them. The basic underlying principles are still the same from decades ago, yet the new engines are so vastly different. More advanced, efficient, reliable, quieter. It's a fascinating journey of evolution. And life has it's own designs too. Post-COVID, our first family trip was to Zambia, and while boarding the aircraft for his first flight, by 4 year old asks me the same question, "What's that fan-like thing dad?". I smiled. PS: This brilliant infographic courtesy of Visual Approach Analytics and Courtney shows the most popular engine types flying. Amongst the Top 5, No: 1 and 5 are on the Boeing 737 family and No: 2,3,4 are on the Airbus A320 family. #aviation #engines

I understand the immense pressure our Air Traffic Controllers face daily. It is crucial for all aviation professionals to exercise heightened caution and ensure safety protocols are strictly followed. Our ATCs are the backbone of flight safety, and their role becomes even more challenging under stress. Let’s continue to support them by adhering to safety guidelines and maintaining the highest standards of vigilance in our operations Mumbai airport runway incident. Fast Growing Civil Aviation. Scheduling pressures. Shorter distances on Approach. Runway Accidents high risk area. Technology Support. But Time for greater caution and revisit procedures @Chopsyturvey @Firstpost https://lnkd.in/d7tYnxaU

PART 2: Let us understand GSR 751E {The Ministry of Civil Aviation (Height Restrictions for Safeguarding of Aircraft Operations) Rules, 2015}:- No Objection Certificates (NOCs) and zoning regulations might sound complex, but they're crucial for ensuring safety around airports and controlling construction in their vicinity. Let's break down the key points in simpler terms: 1. Issuance of NOC: There are different types of aerodromes, like civil and defense ones. The NOC for civil aerodromes comes from a designated officer representing the Central Government. Defense aerodromes have their own authorized officers. For state-owned and private aerodromes, the process varies based on whether they're licensed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. 2. Application Process: If you need an NOC for a civil aerodrome, you apply through the NOC Application System accessible on the Airports Authority website. 3. Processing and Oversight: NOC applications for civil aerodromes are processed at specific Airports Authority offices across India. Designated officers supervise the process and coordinate with local authorities. 4. Appeals: An Appellate Committee exists for those unhappy with decisions made by designated officers. It includes representatives from various relevant bodies to ensure fair resolution. 5. Responsibilities: Local authorities and airport operators are responsible for verifying and monitoring structures around airports to ensure they comply with regulations and approved plans. 6. Violation Procedures: Violations of height regulations or other rules are dealt with according to established procedures, including potential demolition of offending structures. 7. Savings Clause: Existing height clearances assessed under previous regulations remain valid for a specified period. However, if construction doesn't start within that time frame, reassessment is required under the new rules. These rules aim to maintain safety around airports while allowing for controlled development in surrounding areas. They involve coordination between various authorities to ensure compliance and address any issues that may arise.

Remember how in the movie 'Special 26'  a group of con artists posed as CBI officers to conduct fake income tax raids? While it makes for a thrilling cinematic experience, it also sheds light on a critical reality:  the necessity of internal audits to prevent fraud and ensure regulatory compliance. In the real world, internal auditors play a pivotal role in safeguarding organizations against fraud and financial crimes.  They delve into the details, examining financial statements, internal processes, and compliance protocols.  By conducting thorough reviews and tests, they can detect discrepancies or potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by fraudsters. The scenario in 'Special 26' demonstrates what can happen when there's a lack of oversight or weak internal controls. It shows how easily con artists can take advantage of a system that's not adequately protected. This is why internal auditors are so important—they're constantly watching out for red flags and ensuring compliance with the rules. They not only stop fraud but also make sure companies follow the rules. By keeping everyone honest, they make the business world a safer place. So, next time you watch a movie like 'Special 26,' think about the real-life heroes working behind the scenes to protect our money.   Have you ever wondered what it takes to be an internal auditor? #internalauditors #special26 #compliancematters #fraudprevention

Tata-owned Air India Express is currently facing disruptions after a significant number of cabin crew members called in sick on May 8th, 2024, leading to the cancellation of over 90 flights and impacting numerous passengers. While reports suggest this action may be linked to dissatisfaction over recent changes in employment terms following the airline's merger with AirAsia India, Air India Express views it as unprofessional conduct and has terminated the employment of at least 25 crew members. The situation has prompted government intervention, with the regional Labor Commissioner facilitating discussions between the airline management and protesting crew members. Passengers are advised to stay updated on flight statuses directly with Air India Express, which has announced refunds or rebooking for flights delayed more than three hours. The outcome of the government-mediated meeting and its implications for future labor relations within the airline remain uncertain. Air India Express Aviation Oasis https://lnkd.in/e47aWsr4

Hi all, writing this post get some guidance from you all again. Asia Pacific Flight Training Academy Limited APFT led by Hemanth DP (IAP) known for all the wrong reasons from a long time has yet again managed to mess things up. I enrolled for their Commercial Pilot License (CPL) program in Nov 2022 & as on today, I have flown just a meagre 115 odd hours. As a matter of fact, just 10 odd hours of flying in the last 6 months has been done. This FTO doesn’t respond to mails, messages, calls. They have shut operations for well over a month now & I have no clarity when they plan to resume operations. My admission contract with the flight school was for a tenure of 18 months which is also about to expire in a week or so. My hard earned money paid as fees is stuck with them and this is no short of FRAUD in the name of running an educational institution. Several tens of cadets are losing out of opportunities & valuable time because of this. Who’s going to give them back? You APFT? How does one tackle an issue like this?
