Airline News
Qatar Airways has claimed yet further key international awards, winning three accolades at two glittering award ceremonies in Dubai.
The Doha-based five star carriers retained its leading Business Class Airline in the Middle East title as voted by travel industry professionals in the prestigious World Travel Awards an honour that the airline has now held for five consecutive years.
The airlines innovation exclusive Premium Terminal for First and Business Class Passengers at Doha International Airport was named Leading Airport Lounge in the Middle East .The two awards were presented at a ceremony held at The Address in Dubai Marina where acclaimed international singer Nancy Ajram was the star performer of the night.
At a separate ceremony organized by Business Traveler Middle East for travel industry professionals held at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel, Qatar Airways took home the airline award for Best Economy Class in the Middle East for the second year running.
Readers of the monthly magazine based their voting on cabin comfort and in-flight service. The airline which offers superior space with an Economy seat pitch of up to 34 inches-above the industry norm-recently began introducing seat back entertainment across its cabins on the new Airbus A320 family of aircraft.
The British Embassy Consul General in Dubai, Guy Warrington, presented the evenings awards and the latest accolades demonstrate Qatar Airways commitment to offering the traveling public with unrivalled levels of in-flight service.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said: “Most airlines invest heavily in developing their premium cabins and, while we continue to do this, Qatar Airways strives to innovate in Economy Class ensuring our high standards are maintained and passenger expectations are exceeded worldwide.”
The wards coincided with Arabian Travel Market-the Middle East s premier travel trade event –taking place in Dubai where Qatar Airways is participating with a prominent exhibition stand.
More than 400 leading figures from across the regional and international travel and tourism industry attended both events.
Al Baker added:”Winning the Leading Business Class category five years in a row and Leading Airport Lounge once again proves that we have an outstanding product, which continues to convince travel industry professionals and our customer’s year on year.”
The World Travel Awards were conceived in 1993 to acknowledge and celebrate excellence in the world’s travel and tourism industry. Now in their discerning travelers have come to regard the World Travel Awards as the very best endorsement that a travel product can hope to receive.
ANA Pilots First Customer Crew To Fly Boeing 787 Dream liner
On May 13 Boeing and two ANA (All Nippon Airways) pilots flew the Boeing 787 Dream liner for the first time .The airplane they flew is the first of six flight-test airplanes. The two-hour-and-40-minute flight took place over Washington State.
Flying the 787 for the first time were ANA pilots Capt. Masayuki Ishii, director of 787 pre-operations planning, and Capt. Masami Tsukamoto, manager of 787 pre-operations pilots. On board were Capt. Mike Carriker, Boeing 787 chief test pilot, apt. Christine Walsh and Scott Fancher, Vice president and general manager of the 787 program, Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
“The flight was a customer demonstration for our launch customers lead pilots to evaluate the 787 ,” said Fancher.
“We are extremely proud to have ANA on the flight, and have the opportunity to show what a great airplane the men and women of Boeing have created.”
The flight was conducted under a special airworthiness certificate granted by the U.S Federal Aviation Administration.
The 787 program was launched in April 2004 with a record order of 50 787s from ANA. ANA, which plays an active role as launch customer, is scheduled to take the first 787 delivery in the fourth quarter 2010.
During the flight, both pilots performed multiple takeoffs and landings as well as other maneuvers that allowed them to feel the airplane s characteristics.
The pilots also gained experience with other 787 flight-deck features, including larger display screens, dual head-up displays and dual electronic flight bag.
“It was fantastic and an incredible experience,” said Capt. Ishii.”ANA passengers are in for an incredible experience when they fly on the 787,”he said.
“The flight was fantastic,” said Capt.Tsukamoto.”I’ve been waiting for this day since we made the launch order, and today my dream came true.”
Air France To Use A380 On Paris-London Route
Air France, with three Airbus A380 aircraft serving the New York JFK and Johannesburg O.R Tambo airports, is considering using one of the aircraft on the busy route between Paris and London Heathrow.
A spokesman for the airline has said the Air France is looking at various options to maximize the carrying capacity of the 538 seat jet and although the Paris-London route is a short, other carriers have shown that the use of the superjumbo can be justified on a short, busy and high –density route.
Wide body Business Jet
I’ m sitting in the jump sat of a Jumbo jet-for the aviators amongst us, a Boeing 747-400,the one with the little winglets. We’ve no more than 600 feet above the ground and unusually for this height, the wheels and flaps are stowed and we’ve moving along at a nice clip.
A jet fighter is sitting in perfect formation less than 100 metres in our ten o’clock; its pilot is gently nudging the L-39s stick and eyeing us over his shoulder to maintain his position slightly in front of us. I’m not only awed why what this might look like to the simple folk standing amongst their goats and chickens in their earthen gardens beneath us, I’m also wondering who might have the unpleasant task of wiping insect and bird spats from the Boeings ample airframe.
This is not the sort of thing you do with 747 and if it were close of the FIFA World Cup, Sepp Blatters Gripens and blue Pilatus porters would be after us. Behind and below us by about 30 metres, was a cabin full of exceedingly pretty girls but the real spectacle was up front in the Boeings lofty and leather-trimmed flight deck.
Business jet marketers recognize aviation journalists as a necessary evil but they are crafty enough to know that offering tidbits of advertising and the odd canapé lunch is enough to keep them in line when it comes to critiquing their products. Only recently has there been, by industry standards, an explosion in sales of wide body airliners to private individuals. Giving uncontrolled access to a big private jet with no manufacturers’ supervision is an anathema to these builders and interior outfitters, terrified of losing a customer because of an aviation writer that’s actually having fun with their products.
As usual, I answered the telephone call from a friend who enjoys the magazine and at his mention of a flip in a 747, rather than immediately squirming for a way out, I went for broke “lets make this happen” I said .The routine was to join the Boeings crew at Pietersburg and fly, sans wealthy passengers, the Sun City, where the 747 would be parked up for a few days whilst the pax enjoyed a sybaritic few days hunting in the bush.
I made contact with the 747s Captain –a South Africa and all round regular guy who’s not averse to sharing his experiences with aviations more humble quarters-the press.
As the captain was doing his professional and courteous thing by informing the CAA of his intention to alight at Sun City, I, with fewer constraints other than swallowing the price of a tank full of Avgas for our Cessna 182, made arrangements to fly up to Pietersburg. Once there, I would dispatch the 182 to Sun City and hop on the Boeing to arrive at the resort in grand style.However, even the best laid plans can change. I was due to carry out a micro light flight test about the same time.
The agent volunteered to fly with me from his small town base that happened to be on the way to Pietersburg. That saved me some Avgas as I could then have the 182 in Sun City without it flying all the way north to meet the 747.Meantime,I had jokingly suggested to the 747s Captain we do an air-to-air shoot; “send me a quote “,he said, thinking he was humoring me. A did just that.
I was astonished when he emailed me back within 24 hours with the instruction to set it up! This was getting better at every turn and I was beginning to take a liking to the Boeings owner-he was the sort of business jet bloke I could warm to. I laid on an L39 jet trainer, its pilot and photographer Frans Dely. With my captain friend arriving in his Jumbo jet, my buddy pitching up in the L39, I would arrive in a micro light.
I would then have the C182deployed at our Sun City destination in order to get me home in time for supper. The plan was coming together .Yes! What I hadn’t counted on stupidly was South African officialdoms propensity to invent rules to prevent the media from having fun. I am often reminded that civil aviation authorities are not generally partial to Part-91, non-revenue, private flights, in which the 747 was, by regulation, slotted. They see these operations as an unsavory category designed to make allowances for rich pilots and even wealthier aircraft owners. It attracts every kind of petty and jealous sentiment for government officials and hated Part-91 flights don’t come more obvious than a private Jumbo jet.
We landed our micro light and taxied onto the main apron, where the L-39 was already parked. We then watched as the ample Boeing touched down-right on time, having detoured in arc over the Indian Ocean from the Middle East so the occupants could have an undisturbed sleep-the normal eight hour flight wasn’t long enough to watch amovie,enjoy a convivial majli and then a kip prior to a weeks hunting in the bush.
In hushed tones and with darting eyes to make sure no ‘official’ was in hearing distance, one of the airports baggage handlers couldn’t resist describing how a Hercules had been in days before a disgorge a pair of game vehicles. We stayed at a respectful distance with all the rather airport riff raff as the Boeing passengers de-planed, greeted a small entourage of provincial cheeses and strolled towards a collection of specially hired Cessna Caravans for their final connection to the local game reserve.
Once the ramp had cleared of its VVVIP occupants and their personal collection of hunting Rifles, It was our turn. Like eager schoolkids, we climbed the steps, removed our shoes and swarmed around the 747s cabin in naïve awe of the Boeing palatial interior.However, with all the important people gone, it was now the ‘officials ‘ turn to be noticed. The CAA had determined.illigally and on the strength of a matey phone call to the national airlines chief pilot, that a 747 arrival into Sun City wasn’t safe.
The only reason, based on here says and with no knowledge of part-91 wide body operations, was that its runway wasn’t wide enough and ‘might’ lead to FOD damage to the number one and four engines. The grandstanding pettiness led to the curious scene of a VIP 747 with its four Pratt& Whitney’s running, the doors closed and armed and its crew belted in, facing down a nervous control tower ,whose occupants had been told by the CAA,again illegally, to deny takeoff clearance to Sun City.
My captain friend had rightfully asked for written confirmation that the flight could not take place as well as the reasons, which of course the CAA couldn’t do. I sat on the 747s flight deck watching this all unfolding and listening to the plaintive and embarrassed controllers make excuses whilst they had been suddenly put on the regulatory spot. Tensions were rising unhealthy .In the end, professional wisdom and discretion reigned, when the 747 Captain realized the next step was the courtroom.
He lit the APU and pulled his cut-off levers back. The steps were beckoned and we all trudged angrily down to the ramp again-everybody on the airport, including ATC gnashing their teeth at CAAs obfuscation. It was time for plan B.
The photoshoot, which was to have taken place during the flight to Sun City was quickly re-arranged to embrace the local area. We re-briefed, consulted ATC, who were relieved they could let us go and all climbed aboard the Boeing again. I was ecstatic as it meant I would get my flight in a VIP 747.
The photo flight was a spectacular success as our two-ship formation explored the now well-formed cumulus backdrop before descending into the Tzaneen valley for some low level stuff alongside the picturesque escarpment. I was the jump seat, and loving every minute of the rare spectacle of flying in a big wide body jet Cessna 150 height above the local countryside with a jet fighter off our wing.
This was not the sort of thing you see in a business jet brochure as the four PW 4062 engines hungrily gulped down antisocial levels of Jet A1 at an even more ant-social height. Friends of the Earth would have hated it-It was one of lives more memorable moments.
