ACI EUROPE's April 2024 air traffic report shows good news for European aviation. Passenger numbers rose 8.5% compared to April 2023, bringing them very close to pre-pandemic levels. In fact, traffic is now only 0.2% below April 2019 figures! Promising numbers indeed for the aviation industry which is seeing signs of a full recovery in the EU market. Drop us a DM to learn more about how AeroCloud could help your airport take advantage of this boost in passengers. #AirportOperations #Airports #AirportInnnovation #Aviation #ACIEUROPE

ENVISA Team in Cologne 📍 This week, Ayce Celikel, Thomas Roetger, and Antoine Berthier from Envisa were at the EASA Headquarters for the kick-off meeting of the 𝐀𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐂𝐎2 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 (𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐍). The objective of the ANCEN Network, established by the EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency, is to enable a coordinated approach across a wide range of stakeholders (e.g., research, industry, regulators, and policymakers), to provide objective, timely, consensual, and credible technical advice about ways to reduce aviation’s climate impact from non-CO2 emissions such as contrails and nitrogen oxides. We are delighted to support EASA in this network, which, with the scientific knowledge and impact assessment capabilities of many experts, will provide a solid foundation to offer advice on future political decision-making, to move towards a more sustainable aviation sector.

Learning more about Airline Alliances, Airline Alliances are agreements between multiple airlines to cooperate on a global scale. These alliances allow member airlines to offer a more extensive network of routes, harmonized services, and integrated frequent flyer programs. The three major airline alliances are: Star Alliance: Founded in 1997, Star Alliance is one of the largest global airline alliances, with members such as United Airlines, Lufthansa, Air Canada, and Singapore Airlines. Oneworld: Established in 1999, oneworld includes airlines like American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, and Qantas among its members. SkyTeam: Formed in 2000, SkyTeam comprises airlines such as Delta Air Lines, Air France, KLM, and Korean Air. These alliances provide various benefits to passengers, such as seamless connectivity, shared lounges, coordinated schedules, and reciprocal frequent flyer benefits across member airlines. They enable airlines to offer a broader range of destinations and services while enhancing operational efficiency and customer experience. #Airport #Airline #Partnership #AviationIndustry #Alliances #AviationOasis https://lnkd.in/eMFDQD2H

"#Brazil will be the largest supplier of world of #SAF in the world. ...Brazil also plenty of renewable energy options with hydro and wind. But we do need to be clear about SAF. It is prohibitively expensive. And we must not put the same responsibilities on carriers in developing countries as we do on carriers in the developed world.... SAF is one of the ways we get to #netzero by 2050 but it is not the only way. We need to study new #technologies because, at this moment in time, SAF is too expensive to be the only solution." #sustainableaviation #electricaviation

Many thanks to La Tribune for inviting me to a panel on the outsourcing models of Aircraft OEMs together with Florent Massou dit Labaquère, Bruno B., Marjolaine GRANGE and Olivier James. From an Embraer perspective… 1) Embraer is the leading aircraft manufacturer in the segment below 150 seats. Embraer is number three in the commercial aviation world and has delivered more than 8000 aircraft in its 55 years of existence ! 2) The industrial set-up of the company shows a high number of key competencies inside the company allowing an efficient and successful program execution. Contrary to other aircraft OEMs Embraer has the inhouse competency to design and produce a landing gear for example. 3) The E2 is a commercial aircraft program that was delivered by Embraer ahead of plan, on spec and with three aviation authorities certifying the program at once. 3) The success of Embraer builds on the right level of in-house expertise vs externalisation and in fact in 2022 Embraer decided to externalise its plant based in Evora (Portugal) to its Spanish partner Aernnova. 4) As a matter of fact, 29% in value of each E2 aircraft are sourced from Europe with value and resulting in value and job creation in Europe. Embraer sees additional potential to grow its footprint across the lifecycle footprint of its products in Europe. 5) Embraer targets a sustainability path (net zero C02) for its own emissions and operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 2040 ahead of the industry’s 2050 target. #Embraer

A while back me, Alisa Lepik and Virge Prank-Vijard had the opportunity to represent Estonian Aviation Academy and attend ICAO seminar on Green Airports at Athens, Greece. Key points to we’d like to share with you: 1. Michelle Samson from Rotterdam The Hague Airport highlighted that “sustainability is not only a licence to grow, but a licence to exist”. It is for a reason that sustainability has become the hottest topic. 2. There are already single use plastic free airports- several in India. SFO also has a plastic free policy- everything is packaged in recyclable material. Additionally this promotes new ways of thinking and makes way for new out-of-the box ideas- for example Schipol airport recycles its own waste to make new roads (aka as paving material). 3. Emphasis is on co-operation- partnership is the new leadership! P.S Had the pleasure meeting the host- Deniz Kaymak. Those 2 days were full of valuable ideas and inspiration for a sustainable future! ✈️🌍🌱 #sustainability #aviation #greenairports

Soon you can do this yourself with the click of a button. And if you want to improve your setup with the help of the VOO experts, pls. also reach out to us: customercare@voo.aero were here to support you! The instant booking feature is a result of 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, (integration) and 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Every operator is able to do that themselves on VOO, even without a proper flight management system integrated into VOO. #gamechanger Some people doubt that slots, permits, crew etc. are not confirmed at the time of the booking and therefore “instant booking” isn´t possible with VOO (nor with any other system). You are right! This isn´t confirmed at the time of an “instant booking” nor is it when a brokers signs a charter contract with an operator.

Last Thursday, 6 June 2024, APAS celebrated, alongside Cathay Pacific’s team, the return of A330 B-HLV to service. This represented the final Cathay aircraft return following prolonged storage brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. Not only Cathay’s final aircraft, B-HLV represented the final aircraft stored with APAS from the ‘Covid era’. The day represented a milestone for us all – one single take-off succinctly representing we have moved forward, as an aviation industry and for us all as individuals, from one of the strangest periods (may that never repeat!). It was a special day. I would like to take the opportunity to recognise the tremendous work undertaken by the APAS team on supporting the Cathay fleet. Most are unaware of the major work involved in storing aircraft so they can return to their rightful place in our skies. The CX fleet of 76 aircraft, along-side another 100+ aircraft stored by other APAS customers since 2020, have not been simply physically parked and forgotten, however maintained and managed to an exacting standard by a workforce that exceeded 100 personnel during the depths of Covid. APAS delivers this incredible capability through the collaboration of highly skilled and dedicated team members from maintenance engineers, technical planning, procurement, logistics, operations, administration and corporate. Aircraft like B-HLV, stored for nearly 4 years, are able return to service and operation so seamlessly for our customers due to the ideal low-humidity environment, and the tremendous work product delivered by our team. The aviation industry is incredibly resilient. Despite challenges it always recovers. APAS has provided dedicated storage, maintenance and part-out services to our airline, lessor and part-out customers for more than a decade. We will be here to support our customers who require our support, whether driven by aircraft re-fleeting and retirements, unplanned maintenance requirements, part-out, or capacity management brought about by economic factors. Whatever the driver, aircraft stored and maintained by the APAS Group are in the best of hands. APAS – First in Storage for Asia Pacific.  #aircraft #aviation #airbus #boeing #aircraftleasing #aircraftmaintenance #aircraftstorage #APAS #AliceSprings #b737 #b737MAX #b777 #b787 #a320 #a320neo #a330 #a350 #a380 #atr #cathaypacific #innovation #management

Thanks for the insight Shashank Nigam ✈ I think airlines have an interesting dilemma - as SAF use isn't presently mandated, and SAF costs maybe 3-5x Jet A, they have to balance the books and remain competitive - sustainable efforts are for nothing if they go bust or loose out to a less sustainable airline. One way is to recoup the cost of SAF via winning new customers based upon advertising their 'sustainable' credentials, substantiated by the purchase of SAF. This route is risky as we know as they can be accused of greenwashing. Another way is through forward investment and partnership in SAF production but this option isn't available to all airlines and depends upon their ability to raise capital. There is a supply and demand issue and this is all compounded by the fossil energy suppliers largely not facilitating the transition to SAF. I'm confident we'll get there though 🙏

In May 2024, Frankfurt Airport experienced a skyward surge in traffic, with both passenger and cargo numbers soaring, as reported by Fraport Traffic Figures – May 2024. In the bustling heart of Europe, Frankfurt Airport has once again proven its status as a global aviation hub. With a 6.9 percent increase in passenger numbers and a significant rise in cargo volumes, the airport’s May 2024 figures are a testament to its resilience and growth. #fraport #frankfurt #airport #aerobernie https://lnkd.in/e5Yy2p5r

Navigating the complexities of #aircraft leasing transitions can be daunting. The critical phase of #open #item discussions at the end of a lease requires meticulous attention to detail to meet contractual obligations and minimize potential compensations. Managing these discussions becomes even more challenging when participants, such as lessors, airlines, and consultants, operate across different time zones and handle thousands of items. Traditional methods like spreadsheets often fall short due to compatibility issues and a lack of dynamic features needed to manage such intricate processes effectively. This is where #AeroOIL comes into play. Developed by #AeroConsultant, AeroOIL is designed to simplify these very challenges. It centralizes management to ensure all open items are thoroughly addressed before being closed. The system enhances security and accountability by allowing precise control over who can view or edit information. It also keeps all parties updated with real-time modifications and status alerts, facilitating quicker resolutions and enabling management to stay informed with snapshots of open items. AeroOIL isn’t just a tool—it's a transformational solution for the #aviation #industry, making leasing transitions smoother and more efficient. If you're looking to enhance your operational efficiency, I'd love to show you how AeroOIL can make a difference in your organization. Are you ready to take the next step towards streamlined aircraft transitions? #AeroConsultant #AircraftLeasing #aviationindustry #digital #transformation #AeroOIL AeroConsultant #aviation #ai #software #airline #airlines #lessor
