TAAG to take B777-300ERs to the world

5-Jul-11 11:54 AM

TAAG is the first African carrier to purchase, own and operate a B777-300ER, of which it took delivery of its first of two firm orders in Jun-2011. TAAG commenced operating the aircraft on routes to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo this week, enhancing its strategically important links to the South American continent. The carrier will also take this opportunity to enhance its cornerstone Lisbon service with the aircraft. Service into China (Beijing) will be relaunched in Aug-2011 using previously grounded B777-200 equipment while services to the US are also reportedly in the planning phase.

Mobile airports may be the answer for seasonal LCC routes

14-Feb-11 3:10 PM

An Austrian company has installed a mobile passenger terminal at Switzerland’s Geneva Airport. It is designed as a flexible structure, to expand and contract airport capacity, depending on demand. With a growing number of companies providing such facilities – driven by the increasing seasonality of flight operations and the continuing lack of available finance – is the future going to be "temporary and mobile"? Could this be the ultimate low-cost terminal?

Brazilian airport privatisation pushed along by World Cup, Olympics

12-Jan-11 3:02 PM

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, who took office on 01-Jan-2011, has reportedly made two decisions already on the privatisation of Infraero-operated airports and terminals in view of the growing urgency to improve infrastructure in advance of the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games. In one she plans to privatise new terminals at two Sao Paulo airports; in the other to enable Infraero to conduct an IPO.

Latin America seeking to boost infrastructure as traffic bounces back

1-Jul-10 4:13 PM

Latin America has long underperformed in aviation business terms, as airlines and associated industries deal with under-developed infrastructure, varying regional regulations, a lack of investment and a fragmented airspace system. Latin America has a population of more than 600 million people, with 95 scheduled carriers operating more than 1,000 commercial aircraft. The region was responsible for approximately 6.2% of world traffic in 2009, while holding more than 9% of its population. Air transport in Latin America is forecast to be among the fastest growing in the world over the next 20 years.

Brazil's airlines (Part 1): Becoming prominent players in the global aviation development

1-Jun-10 8:20 AM

In aviation among emerging nations, the two most commonly cited examples are China and India. Both have been much in the news. China's massive market continues to grow at double digit rates and India in particular has been something of a supernova in the 21st century, with airlines appearing like mushrooms after a heavy rain—and some withering with equal speed. But in the global development spectrum, Brazil is also a prominent player. Sometimes overlooked in the aviation sector because it is half a world away from the (once-again) booming Asian market that is soon to emerge as the world’s largest, Brazil is fast developing a formidable airline capability, as this CAPA study reports.

Airline alliances in Latin America provoking major changes. How TAM helps Star

25-Feb-10 8:50 AM

Despite strong growth in several markets, Latin America’s aviation scene is in flux—perhaps more so than any other geographic region on the globe. Political and economic instability have been rampant across the region and continue to be a part of the 21st century landscape. The latest difficulties have been manifest as political unrest in Venezuela and continuing economic turmoil in Argentina, to name just two.
