Court Of Justice

In a judgement of 19 December 2019, C-532/18,1 in the case GN represented by father HM, against Niki Luftfahrt GmbH, the Court of Justice stated that an accident is any incident occurring on board an airship in which an object used for the use of an on-board service caused damage the passenger’s body, and it is irrelevant as to how the hazard typical of air transport materialized. The mere fact of suffering damage during air travel is sufficient for the court to find that an accident has occurred.

Second Wave

Due to the vast distances across the country as well as between urban centres, Australia is heavily reliant upon its air transport industry. Following deregulation of Australia's domestic air travel market on the 30th October, 1990, low cost carriers have entered the market. Australia's LCC market has had three discrete phases. The first wave occurred between 1990 and 1993 and was subsequently followed by a duopoly period in 1994–1999. The second wave occurred between 2000 and 2006 and the final wave has been in the post-2006 period. This paper examines the evolution of Australia's domestic low cost carrier airline market and finds that by 2010, low cost carriers had captured around 64 per cent of the market. Following the evolution of the “Virgin Australia” business model from a low cost carrier to a full service network carrier, commencing in 2011, the low cost carrier's market share has declined significantly and is now around 31 per cent. “Jetstar” and “Tiger Airways” are the two major carriers presently operating in this market segment.

Air travel routes and high speed rail connection between Milan and Rome after the Alitalia crisis This paper analyses the first available data about changes in passenger traffic and air/rail fares after the Alitalia crisis and the substantial reduction of the travel time between Milan and Rome, due to the improvement of high speed rail on this connection. As recently happened in similar cases within Europe, the rail has gained a significant share of traffic previously attracted by air transport services. Apart from that, a real price competition is prevented by a number of inefficiencies which are mainly due to the monopolistic position of the new Alitalia on the route Milan Linate-Rome Fiumicino and problems of accessibility affecting our airports, and partly our rail stations too. The role of the various authorities potentially involved is burdened, in the last instance, by infrastructural deficiencies.

I have now reached the end of my task. The theme which I have sought throughout is that operating economics, in the broadest sense, are the essence of commercial Air Transport. The purpose of Air Transport is to improve communications—and to improve them economically. Although Air Transport the World over is losing money at present, through a combination of unfortunate circumstances, the facts of the present situation and of developments in train will, I am sure, confound the prophets of gloom. Air Transport, provided with adequate tools and run on the right methods, can be made to pay—furthermore, air travel can be provided economically at fares which the average man will be able to afford.

Trinidad and Tobago is undergoing substantial economic growth resulting from petroleum revenues, the volume of transportation (including air travel) thus expanding rapidly. It is essential, therefore, to provide estimates of future traffic to allow sensible planning to be undertaken. Previous modelling work in this region has tended to be extrapolative. This paper describes work undertaken to evaluate the underlying causal relationships influencing the volume of air travel to the small (population 1.1 millions) twin-island Caribbean republic and to build a descriptive model. The well-tried method of multiple regression analysis was used. Locally available statistical data were utilized, the analysis revealing that airfare, per capita income, and population were the main influencing factors. Cultural ties between zones were taken into account, postwar migration emerging as a proxy variable to accommodate this. Backward projections were made using the calibrated equation and intuitively reasonable forward projections were derived. The paper contains as examples detailed descriptions of the results relating to four of the links studied as well as a presentation of overall results. The technique appears appropriate both to a rapidly changing economic environment and to small nations (for example, other Caribbean islands) in deriving projections for the design of air transport facilities and the planning of services.

During a flight, changes occur in the human body, whose possible reactions can influence the well-being and quality of health of medicine users, subject of scarce studies. The aim of this paper is to analyze the impacts and effects of medication use during air transport. Through a literature review and documentary research methodology, relevant facts about the precautions that should be taken regarding the use of medication in flights were considered. As a practical contribution, some important medications and their possible effects during flights are presented, as well as some warnings about medication interactions, and some advice for better quality air travel for the health of passengers and crew are given. As a theoretical contribution, this study gathers the scattered information presented in the literature about the problems that the use of medications during a flight can cause to the human body and possible recommendations. As social contribution, this study warns about the risks of self-medication, and establishes a basis for future discussions with society about the use of medication in flights.

It is a great honour to have been asked by The Royal Aeronautical Society to give the foundation British Commonwealth and Empire Lecture, and I have accepted, having in mind the Australian pioneers of the air from whose past has sprung the beginning of our Australian part in the common effort of to-day.I would like to congratulate the Society on founding this lecture, which it takes little prediction to forecast will grow into one of the most important annual aviation events in the Empire–as well as facilitating the assembling together in the Journal of information, opinion and suggestion from the four corners of the Empire. This, in itself, is only made possible by air travel, and as an illustration of what can be done, you should know that this is my third visit to this country from Australia in this year of 1945.

International tourism arrivals by air account for almost 60% of all tourism arrivals. Despite the spectacular increase in air connectivity there are distinct differences between connectivity types, with direct and indirect connectivity, airport connectivity and hub connectivity. Tourism destinations are impacted by the air connectivity type that is available in their nearby or serving airport. The aim of this chapter is to discuss the tourism dynamics resulting from the emerging transformations in air connectivity, and the implications on international air travel. Increased air connectivity is linked to economic growth and development, however direct air connectivity has been driving both tourism and air transport industries. The introduction of new aircraft which can fly longer and more economically is likely to transform direct connectivity and hub connectivity at the same time. Airline business models have evolved over the last 20 years and it is highly likely that this transformation will continue to unfold since the market and the passengers’ needs are constantly evolving. Implications for airlines and destinations will be discussed, outlining the trends which are dominating the industry in terms of connectivity and its relation to tourism destinations.

The evolution of luxury retailing in the airport has followed the growth in air travel resulting from globalisation, the privatisation, and the deregulation of air transport and the rise of low-cost airlines. Airport luxury retailing serves a resilient global market and it is an important source of sales for luxury-brand companies. Moreover, luxury brands have recognised the commercial significance and public relations value of an international airport location where they deploy a sophisticated visual language to promote their global brand identity. The distribution of luxury goods in international airports through luxury-brand stores and multibrand duty-free outlets is investigated and consideration is given to the future of luxury in the airport.

The symbiotic, environmentally destructive relationship between passenger air transport and economic output remains inadequately theorised by both transport geographers and mobilities researchers. This article attempts to bridge the two fields by considering passenger air transport as a branch of value production whose useful effect – the movement of people across space – is a ‘connecting artery’ necessary to multiple consumption and production processes. Air travel is socially necessary to multiple class projects, including the reproduction of labour power, the competitive reorganisation of capital at the global scale, and the consolidation of transnational capitalist class power. A corresponding environmental politics of resistance is outlined.
