U.S carriers to boost domestic capacity 

While millions travel for holiday weekend 

By the time the Thanksgiving holiday 

wraps up on Monday November 

27 th , Delta is expected to have 

flown more than 4.85 million people 

to visit loved ones, according 

to a statement 

on the airline’s 

website. 

Delta’s holiday 

planning began 

several months 

ago as the airline 

kicked into 

high gear its 

efforts to keep customers moving 

through the travel stream. At 

major hub airports across the system, 

Delta has increased staffing 

on peak days to ease the check-in 

process, including deploying the 

airline’s volunteer Peach Corps in 

Atlanta, something Delta has done 

for the last several years. 

In the meantime, American Airlines 

is planning to add a new 

spoke route from its Charlotte

Bombardier Commercial Aircraft’s Market Forecast 

2017-2036 for Latin America predicts that 

overall traffic is expected to grow 5.1% annually, 

and intra-regional traffic to grow slightly more 

than the world average at 5.6% annually, over 

the next 20 years. Total deliveries in the 60- to 

150-seat marked segment to Latin America are 

expected to number 1,050 aircraft, or eight per 

cent of total world deliveries of 12,550 aircraft. 

Latin America deliveries will consist of 500 large 

regional aircraft (60 to 100 seats) and 550 small 

single-aisle aircraft (100 to 150 seats), which will 

double the size of the current fleet. “With its 

dispersed population, the application of smallergauge 

aircraft is necessary in order to develop 

well-connected networks around the region. 

Our main strategic growth driver will be the 

intra-regional connectivity, particularly targeting 

the smaller communities, which are currently 

not being served, said Alex Glock, Vice President, 

Sales, Latin America and Caribbean, Bombardier 

Commercial Aircraft. We are the only manufacturer 

who can offer a unique portfolio of choice 

for the complete 60- to 150-seat market segment, 

in order to address the Latin America’s 

specific market needs,” he added. 

Bombardier market forecasts identifies that 

approximately 450 regional routes have been 

dropped in the past ten years. This represents 

about 16 million potential passengers per year 

that are not being served with direct flights. 

Compared to other similar regions, Latin America 

would need approximately 2,600 intraregional 

routes instead of the current 1,700 markets 

with regular scheduled service. That creates a 

great opportunity to stimulate its connectivity.

Singapore Airlines selects Airbus for A380 retrofit program 

ment earlier this year for the acquisition of 50 

ATR 72-600s. The delivery represents a major 

step in the airline’s ambitious plan to further 

develop its fleet with the introduction of fuelefficient 

and cost-effective ATR 72-600s, thus 

expanding its regional footprint and bringing 

air connectivity to smaller Indian airports and 

communities. The introduction of the new ATR 

fleet goes in line with the Indian government’s 

Regional Connectivity Scheme, which aims to 

boost economic development, employment and 

tourism by connecting small and remote cities. 

Under this scheme, 100 new airports are expected 

to be created in the next three years. 

Latin America and Caribbean’s in-service 

fleet to more than double by 2036 

From 2017-2036 Latin America and the Caribbean 

will need 2,677 new passenger and freighter 

aircraft to meet rising demand, according to 

the latest Airbus Global Market Forecast (GMF). 

Valued at US$352bn, this demand accounts for 

2,084 single-aisle and 593 twin-aisle and very 

large aircraft. This implies that the region’s inservice 

fleet will more than double from the 

1,211 aircraft in service today to 2,882 in the 

next two decades. Of these aircraft, 1,006 will 

be for replacement of older-generation aircraft, 

1,671 will be accounted for growth, and 205 are 

expected to remain in service. 

Airbus’ GMF forecasts passenger traffic to, from 

and within Latin America and the Caribbean to 

grow 4.4% annually until 2036. The region’s domestic 

and intra-regional traffic will grow even 

quicker at 4.8% per year, while the highest traffic 

growth is expected to be on routes to the Middle 

East (6.1%) and to Asia Pacific (5.8%). A key 

factor fueling this growth is the region’s middle 

class, which is expected to increase to half a billion 

people by 2036. “We are optimistic about 

the long-term outlook for Latin America’s air 

transport sector now that we are starting seeing 

clear signs of economic recovery across the 

region, signaled by the region’s GDP, which is 

predicted to grow above the world’s average at 

three percent,” said Rafael Alonso, president of 

Airbus Latin America and Caribbean, at the ALTA 

Airline Leaders Forum. “Also, with long-haul traffic 

escalating we think Latin American carriers 

can capture market share that is currently being 

lost to foreign carriers on routes to Asia-Pacific, 

Europe, the Middle East and North America.” 

In Argentina, where the economy is forecasted 

to increase by 2.6% annually in the next 20 years, 

fleets serving the country will require 330 aircraft 

by 2036 to meet market demand. This will 

be driven by an acceleration of traffic growth to 

and from the country, which has doubled in the 

last 20 years. By 2036, the number of aviation

Airbus has been selected by Singapore Airlines (SIA) to provide cabin retrofit services for 14 

A380 aircraft currently in service with the carrier. The retrofit program, which will be undertaken 

at SIA Engineering Company in Singapore, will see the airline’s recently launched cabin 

products installed on the aircraft. The new cabin products will debut on five new A380s to be 

delivered this year and next year. Under the agreement, Services by Airbus will be responsible 

for Service Bulletin (SB) and aircraft cabin parts-kit delivery. Its teams will also contribute 

their A380 design knowledge and engineering expertise to integrate SIA’s customized cabin 

fittings into the A380’s spacious double-deck interior. The retrofit work is expected to start 

in late 2018, with all 14 aircraft scheduled for completion by 2020. Singapore Airlines’ new 

A380 cabin offers more personal space in all classes. The aircraft will accommodate a total of

South Korea’s National 119 Rescue Headquarters 

acquires two H225 helicopters 

Airbus Helicopters has been awarded a contract 

from South Korea’s National 119 Rescue Headquarters 

for the purchase of two additional H225 

helicopters. The National 119 Rescue Headquarters 

currently operates an all-Airbus helicopter 

fleet comprising two AS365 N2 and two H225. 

This new purchase will bring the fleet of the 

country’s primary provider of firefighting and 

rescue services to six helicopters by end 2019. 

The agency will be using these two multirole 

H225 helicopters for search and rescue missions, 

with the flexibility to reconfigure them to accommodate 

fire-fighting and emergency medical 

services equipment onboard the aircraft. 

Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 TEN enters service 

Rolls-Royce celebrated the entry into service 

of its Trent 1000 TEN engine. The engine is designed 

to power all variants of the Dreamliner 

family, including the new 787-10. The engine 

incorporates new technologies to deliver increased 

thrust and improved efficiency for the 

aircraft. Earlier this year the Trent 1000 engine 

celebrated a hat trick of firsts when it powered 

the first flight of the Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner, 

having powered the first flights of the 787-8 and 

the 787-9. More recently, the Trent 1000 TEN 

powered an 18-hour test flight during which a 

Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner’ flight path drew a giant 

outline of the plane across the United States. 

The Trent 1000 TEN is one of three Rolls-Royce 

engines to have achieved a first flight in the past 

12 months.

EASA and FAA issued Type Certification for the Airbus A350-1000

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

have issued Airbus with Type Certification for the Airbus A350-1000, keeping the jet on schedule 

for delivery to Qatar Airways, its first customer, by the end of the year. The certified airplane 

is powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-97 engines. 

The EASA A350-1000 Type Certification document was signed by EASA’s Certification Director, 

Trévor Woods, and the FAA A350-1000 Type Certification document was signed by FAA’s International 

Section Manager, Bob Breneman. Both certificates were handed over to Airbus Executive 

Vice President Engineering, Charles Champion. Obtaining type certification has come in just under 

a year of an extensive flight test campaign which has taken its airframe and systems beyond 

their design limits to ensure the aircraft successfully meets all airworthiness criteria. Type certification 

is a requirement of the aircraft to enable it to enter into commercial service. The three 

Rolls-Royce engine-powered A350-1000 flight test aircraft successfully accumulated over 1,600 

flight hours, of which 150 flight test hours were completed with the same aircraft in an airlinelike 

operational environment, thus demonstrating its readiness for entry into service. 

The A350-1000 has 95% commonality with the A350-900, but its longer fuselage enables it 

to accommodate 40 more passengers in a typical three-class configuration. The other main 

differences are the modified wing trailing edge, six-wheel main landing gears, and the more 

powerful XWB-97 engines from Rolls-Royce. 

To date, Airbus has received orders for 165 of the aircraft from 11 customers across 11 different 

countries. 

Understanding for a 12-year Rate Per Flight Hour 

(RFPH) agreement with CFM International to 

support the LEAP-1A engines that will power the 

airline’s new fleet of 21 leased Airbus A320neo 

aircraft. The agreement is valued at about $600 

million U.S., including spare engines. The leased 

aircraft are scheduled for delivery between 2018 

and 2021. Under the terms of the RPFH maintenance 

agreement, CFM will provide engine maintenance 

on a dollar-per-engine-flight-hour basis. 

The LEAP engine family has had an exceptional 

entry into commercial service with more than 

26 customers currently operating more than 

140 LEAP-powered aircraft on four continents. 

Overall, the fleet has logged more than 210,000 

flight cycles and 430,000 flight hours while maintaining 

CFM’s industry-leading reliability and the 

highest utilization rate in this thrust class.

SOFIA flying observatory to undergo C- 

check in Hamburg 

Lufthansa Technik in Hamburg has taken delivery 

of the SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory

a scheduled C-check. The aircraft is a heavily 

modified Boeing 747SP and is a joint project between 

the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration (NASA), and the German Aerospace 

Center (DLR). Coordination of the operation 

of SOFIA on the German side takes place at 

the University of Stuttgart. 

The C-check is second to a full overhaul in level 

of scheduled work required to an aircraft. In this 

particular instance, the maintenance work will 

be carried out in accordance with NASA regulations. 

To fulfil its role, SOFIA was extensively 

modified, including the installation of special 

electronic systems as well as a four by six-meter 

door in the fuselage for the telescope. The aircraft 

is subject to high loads during operation, 

thus the work on SOFIA’s pressure bulkhead will 

be especially challenging and various fixtures 

will have to be moved to provide access.

The hangar will provide an additional 4,550 m² of hangar space to accommodate a 

number of wide- and narrow-body aircraft simultaneously. The project also extends the tarmac 

by 5,000 m², while adding 2,000 m² for shops and offices. To maintain capacity and capabilities 

throughout the hangar project, the company has leased additional hangar and shop 

space. It has also built a pathway to ensure employees have proper access to all hangars. 

increasing the scope of its existing engine support 

contract to include a further ten shop visits. 

The initial agreement covered an array of maintenance 

and repair services for the CFM56-7B 

powerplants equipping Jeju Air’s fleet of Boeing 

737-800s. Through this contract extension, AFI 

KLM E&M has become a strong MRO partner for

easyJet reported record number of passengers

load factor at 92.6% (2016: 91.6%), reflecting 

easyJet’s strong network positions and customer

million seats, as easyJet continued its strategy of 

purposeful investment with a focus on number 

one and two market positions at Europe’s leading 

airports. Total revenue of £5,047m was up 

8.1%, with revenue per seat broadly flat year on 

year (-0.4%) at £58.23, reflecting a currency benefit, 

strong ancillary revenue and increased load 

factors. Headline profit before tax of £408m,

Airborne Capital has announced its launch with a 

strong industry-experienced management team, 

and with substantial backing from FEXCO Group, 

Ireland’s largest privately owned financial services 

company. The Airborne Capital has aggressive 

plans to grow the business to have aircraft assets 

under management of over US$5bn within the 

first five years of being set up. 

Headquartered in Ireland, and initially with offices 

in Dublin and London, Airborne Capital is a

agreement to acquire part of Air Berlin’s operations 

at Berlin Tegel airport for a purchase 

consideration of €40m, subject to antitrust and 

regulatory approvals. The acquisition, which is 

expected to close in December 2017, will result 

in easyJet entering into leases for up to 25 A320 

aircraft, offering employment to up to 1,000 

former Air Berlin crew, and taking over other 

assets including slots. The purchase price excludes 

start-up and transitional operating costs. 

Based on current assumptions, easyJet expects 

to incur headline losses of around £60m on its 

activities at Tegel in the 2018 financial year, as 

it starts up operations in January 2018 using 

wet lease aircraft with initially lower loads and 

yields. In addition, one-off non-headline costs of 

around £100m associated with the transaction 

are expected in the 2018 financial year. These 

costs represent the parallel ramp up of a dry

transaction costs. The transaction is expected to 

be earnings accretive by the 2019 financial year.

Thomas Cook reports 40% drop in earnings 

amidst ‘challenging’ period 

Reporting on underlying earnings for the year 

to September, U.K. travel giant Thomas Cook 

has reported a 40% plummet in earnings as it 

struggled to cope with a ‘challenging market and 

weakness of the devalued pound. Earnings at 

£56 million (US$73 million) were down from £86 

million (US$114 million) for the same period in 

2016, with rising hotel prices and intense competition 

in the Spanish market also to blame, the 

latter being partly responsible for the demise of 

the smaller carrier, Monarch Airlines, in October, 

and resulting in leaving its profit margins 1.3 per- 

centage points lower at 22.1%. 

The Group also cited the dramatic rise in fraudulent 

illness claims and support offered to 10,000 

customers who had been affected by the hugely 

destructive Hurricane Irma. Shares in the Group 

fell 13% after the results were announced. 

On a more positive note, the Group confirmed it 

has launched action to return its UK division to 

profitable growth once more by slashing costs, 

taking legal action against illness fraudsters, and 

focusing on the fast-growing holiday destinations 

of Turkey and Egypt. Since the drop of popularity 

on these two destinations after the bombing of 

a plane out of Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt and the 

attempted coup followed by terrorist attacks in 

Turkey, bookings for these destinations, which

tal will act as a bridge between investors seeking 

bespoke investment solutions in the aviation 

space, and issuers requiring aviation financing 

via differentiated capital solutions. 

The commercial aviation industry is predicted to 

double the size of its fleet in the next 20 years 

on the back of growing passenger demand (4.7% 

per annum until 2036). This growth is triggering 

a financing need that will not be covered by traditional 

sources of capital. Airborne Capital will 

provide solutions to fill this gap, and offer its 

expertise to new capital providers to meet the 

aviation industry’s growth needs. 

Ramki Sundaram will be CEO of Airborne Capital 

and has over 20 years’ experience working 

in aviation finance, having previously been 

Head of Aviation at Natixis, one of the leading 

banks in aviation financing. 

Military and Defence 

Naval Department awards US$140m 

production contract to GE Aviation for 

T408 engines 

U.S. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) 

has awarded GE Aviation a US$143,481,258 

Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) contract to 

build 22 T408-GE-400 engines that will power 

the U.S. Marine Corps’ CH-53K King Stallion 

helicopters. This contract follows the April 

4, 2017 Milestone C decision by the Defense 

Acquisition Board (DAB) approving LRIP production. 

After completing a series of rigorous 

tests during the CH-53K Engineering Manufacturing 

and Development (EMD) phase, GE 

received formal approval from the Navy for 

completion of the LRIP qualification of the 

T408 in February 2016. The T408 LRIP contract 

supports a 2019 initial operating capability 

(IOC) program milestone, and includes 

logistics support, technical publications, and 

organic support development. 

Embraer KC-390 arrives in the United 

States for a series of flight trials 

The new Embraer KC-390 multi-mission military 

transport and tanker jet will start a series 

of flight trials in the United States as part of 

its flight test campaign for certification. The 

aircraft left Brazil on November 18 and arrived 

at Embraer´s facility in Jacksonville, Florida 

on November 21. For the next two to three 

weeks, the aircraft will be performing tests on 

the avionics systems, measurement of external 

noise, and operations with cross wind. The 

KC-390 is capable of carrying out various missions, 

such as transporting cargo, troops or 

dropping paratroopers, and aerial refueling, 

search and rescue, medical evacuation and 

aerial firefighting, in addition to supporting 

humanitarian missions. The aircraft can transport 

up to 26 metric tons of cargo at a maximum 

speed of 470 knots (870 km/h), as well 

as operate in hostile environments, including 

from unprepared or damaged runways. Since 

the start of the flight test campaign, in October 

2015, both KC-390 prototypes have demonstrated 

high rates of availability, accumulating 

more than 1,450 flight hours. The Initial 

Operational Capability should be achieved 

by the end of this year, and first delivery is 

scheduled to happen in 2018.

Panasonic Avionics Corporation has introduced 

a major advance in inflight connectivity, 

with the entry into service of its first 

High Throughput Satellite (HTS) capacity over 

the Pacific Ocean. The EUTELSAT 172B satellite, 

which launched in June, is operated by 

Eutelsat Communications. Leveraging its 

unique design, Panasonic will deliver greatly 

enhanced inflight broadband connectivity, 

live television and mobile phone services to 

aircraft flying high traffic routes across the 

Asia Pacific region spanning the West Coast of 

North America to Asia, and down to Australia 

and the Pacific islands. 

High Throughput Satellites use a combination 

of spot beams and high-level frequency 

re-use to provide much improved economics, 

more bandwidth and faster data speeds as 

passengers browse the Internet and benefit 

from other online services, and airlines increasingly 

utilize connectivity for operational 

purposes. The satellites also use a broad overlay 

beam, which is used to economically deliver 

up to nine channels of live television to 

passengers in flight. 

Honeywell has selected ExecuJet Nigeria as 

an approved avionics dealer, and installation 

and service facility for business aircraft owners 

in the Africa region. As the African business 

and general aviation market continues to 

expand, this arrangement enhances an owner’s 

or operator’s ability to locally modernize, 

upgrade and overhaul aircraft cockpits. Being 

able to support West and North Africa more 

easily, local owners can now save time and 

expenses without the need to fly to Europe 

or South Africa for overhauls, upgrades or 

repairs. ExecuJet’s proximity to other regions 

provides business aircraft owners in West and 

North Africa use of its Lagos, Nigeria facility as 

a service point for their aircraft. These operators 

can take advantage of ExecuJet’s expertise 

in Honeywell’s full suite of avionics, which 

includes key solutions for business and general 

aviation like the Honeywell Avionics Protection 

Plan (HAPP), which is aimed at protecting 

operators against the burden of unexpected 

maintenance costs. 

Qantas has released, that it will operate 

the world’s first bio-fuel flight between the 

United States and Australia. The Los Angeles 

to Melbourne flight will take place early 

next year, in collaboration with World Fuel 

Services and Altair Fuels, and will see Qantas’ 

new Dreamliner being powered by Brassica 

Carinata (carinata), a non-food, industrial 

type of mustard seed. Carinata produces high 

quality oil, ideal for aviation biofuel, bio-jet 

for aircraft, and bio-diesel for airport vehicles. 

The news of the flight follows Qantas’ signing 

of a landmark partnership with Agrisoma

As from March 25, 2018, Air France customers 

will be able to fly to Nairobi (Kenya) departing 

from Paris-Charles de Gaulle thanks 

to three new weekly frequencies. Flights will 

be operated by the latest-generation Boeing 

787, equipped with 30 seats in Business Class, 

21 seats in Premium Economy Class and 225 

seats in Economy Class. These flights will be 

operated on a code-share basis with partner 

Kenya Airways. Customers will thus benefit 

from 10 weekly non-stop flights between Paris 

and Nairobi, with three flights operated by 

Air France and seven flights operated by Kenya 

Airways. Moreover, as a continuation from 

Nairobi, Air France customers will be able to 

fly to 23 regional destinations operated under 

a code-share with its partner. 

Ryanair has extended its connecting flights 

service at Milan Bergamo Airport, adding a 

further 31 routes including Budapest, Lisbon 

and Ibiza, providing Ryanair customers with 

an expanded route choice of 131 connecting

and transfer directly onto connecting Ryanair 

flights. 

Allegiant and the Transport Workers Union 

(TWU), representing Allegiant flight attendants, 

have reached a tentative agreement on 

the first collective bargaining agreement between 

the parties. The tentative agreement is 

subject to ratification by the Allegiant flight 

attendants, and results of the vote are expected 

before the end of December. Allegiant 

currently employs 1,150 flight attendants. 

The process of negotiating a first collective 

bargaining agreement for Allegiant flight attendants 

began in 2011. The Transport Workers 

Union was most recently certified as the 

group’s exclusive representative on February 

26, 2016. An initial tentative agreement 

reached between the parties failed to ratify in 

September 2016, and negotiations continued 

under the supervision of the National Mediation 

Board to reach the current tentative 

agreement. 

The International Air Transport Association 

(IATA) and the African Development Bank 

(AfDB) have signed a memorandum of understanding 

(MoU) to establish a framework for 

collaboration to boost the aviation sector in 

Africa. The MoU was signed on the sidelines 

of the International Civil Aviation Organization 

World Aviation Forum – Financing the 

Development of Aviation Infrastructure – in 

Abuja, Nigeria by IATA’s Director General and 

Chief Executive Officer, Alexandre de Juniac, 

and African Development Bank President Akinwumi 

Adesina. Under the MoU, IATA and 

the AfDB will work in partnership to further 

Africa’s economic and social development 

by helping build a safe, secure and efficient 

aviation industry. The two organizations 

have committed to create and implement 

programs and projects, including technical 

cooperation for capacity building. Priority areas 

will include improving connectivity, safety 

and aviation infrastructure. “Aviation in Africa 

currently supports $72.5 billion in economic 

activity and 6.8 million jobs. Over the next 20 

years, aviation is forecast to grow at nearly 6 

percent per year. This creates significant opportunities. 

But achieving this potential will 

not happen by chance; strong partnerships 

are key. The MoU with ADB will help facilitate 

the growth and development of Africa’s aviation 

industry. In so doing, it will expand prosperity 

and change peoples’ lives for the better 

in the continent’s 54 nations,” said de Juniac,. 

“The aviation sector is especially important as 

it opens up doors to investors,” said Adesina. 

“Very few invest where it’s difficult to travel 

to. That’s why ease of access via air travel is 

strongly correlated to economic growth. We 

must make regional aviation markets competitive 

and drive down costs, raise efficiencies 

and improve connectivity and convenience.” 

Commsoft has welcomed UK-based leasing 

and charter airline, Titan Airways, to the 

fast-growing global OASES community. OASES 

combines a very high level of technical sophistication 

with an intuitive user interface and is 

structured in a modular format to allow for 

flexibility and scalability. To support its mixed 

Airbus and Boeing fleet, Titan Airways has 

selected the Core, Airworthiness, Planning, 

Materials, Line Maintenance Control and Production 

modules which will be installed on 

local servers. The Core module provides the 

essential system components that allow operation 

and integration of all the other functional 

modules and incorporates the Oracle 

database, a navigator functionality, a built-in 

help system, and a security manager which 

controls access rights and privileges. Between 

them, the other modules will enable Titan 

Airways to manage continuing airworthiness 

processes; predict when all maintenance 

tasks, modifications and defect limitations 

will become due; ensure that all material is 

available when required and replenished or 

repaired when necessary; integrate OASES 

with suitable data feeds from operations 

systems; and log labor time expended. Titan 

Airways is establishing its own CAMO team 

to replace an existing third-party service and 

Commsoft will be providing extensive support 

in implementing the system for the management 

of Titan’s A318-112, three A320-200s, a 

A321-211, a Boeing 737-400F, a 737-300QC, 

two 757-200s and a 767-300ER. It is anticipated 

that the airline will be expanding its fleet 

in the near future with the addition of a Boeing 

737-400 in January 2018 and further A320 

/A321 aircraft later in the year. 

Despite ceasing operations in October, Monarch 

has won its appeal concerning its right to retain 

valuable airport slots, in turn providing a boost 

for administrators, KPMG, responsible for recovering 

money for creditors. The slots in question 

are at London’s Luton and Gatwick Airports and 

have an estimated value of around £60 million 

(US$80 million). 

“We are delighted with the ruling,” said 

Blair Nimmo, partner at KPMG and joint administrator. 

“We will now progress the slot 

exchange transactions we have underway, 

whose buyers will be announced at completion.” 

The initial High Court ruling on November 

8 stated that as the airline had no planes 

and had retained only three trained pilots, 

who held management positions, the Airport 

Coordination Limited (ACL) - an independent 

slot co-ordination company - had no duty to 

assign it slots for summer 2018. Subsequent 

to the ruling, the civil Aviation Authority 

(CAA) revoked Monarch’s operating license. 

However, the Court of Appeal ruling found 

that despite this, Monarch was still an air carrier 

when slots fell to be allocated last month 

and in fact remains one. EasyJet (EZJ.L), IAG 

(ICAG.L), Wizz (WIZZ.L) and Norwegian (NWC. 

OL) have all expressed interest in the slots at 

the London airports. The High Court ruling 

that Manchester and Birmingham slots should 

be returned immediately to the slot pool to 

be re-assigned by the ACL was unaffected by 

the appeal. 

The Arab Air Carriers Association (AACO) 

has turned to the International Air Transport 

Association (IATA) to intervene in new taxes 

proposed by the U.S Administration which 

some observers believe is intended to target

Airways and Etihad Airways. 

The proposed taxes are to be levied on carri-

ers headquartered in countries which do not 

have an income tax treaty with the U.S. and 

which fly routes which are not flown more 

than twice a week by “major passenger airline 

carriers headquartered in the United States”, 

effective after December 31, 2017. 

The amendment to the Taxation Bill was proposed 

by US Senator Johnny Isakson from 

Georgia (R-GA) – where US carrier Delta is 

headquartered, and was passed by the House 

of Representatives, so it will now head to the 

Senate for consideration. 

However, it is not just the three Gulf Carriers 

who will be affected by this amendment. Saudi 

Arabia has no treaty exemption, nor does 

Singapore, Kuwait, Malaysia and the majority 

of South American countries, excluding Mexico 

and Venezuela. 

Speaking at the annual general meeting of 

AACO in Sharjah, the Secretary-General, Abdul 

Wahab Teffaha described this as a “dangerous 

move”, adding: “This could develop 

into reciprocal taxation and other countries 

may begin doing the same. Taxation is a suppressor 

to aviation and we call on IATA and 

ICAO to be vocal in opposing such a move and 

helping to stop a proliferation of such a move 

that will be a burden on passengers.” 

Mohammad Al Bakri, regional senior vice 

president for IATA, told the assembly that IATA 

opposes taxation arguing that “excessive taxes 

and charges affect the ability of aviation to 

meet demand and impede economic growth.
