With the rapid development of Hang Nadim Airport This, of course requires the use of an international language, namely English as the most commonly used communication medium. It has become a must for airport staff to be able to master English for the smooth operation of the technical process of aircraft and air flight systems. All airport workers are required to have good English language skills. it is appropriate to create conducive working conditions, but in reality on the ground, not all staff who work at airports have basic English skills, especially regarding the basic conversation part in English at the airport.

Air transportation industry is a globally growing industry. As an inseparable part of this industry, airport management is also becoming more crucial issue to be dealt with. Airports offer economic and social benefits to the society, but also environmental impacts of airport operations are increasing due to high traffic growth. While airport capacity is increasing, airport operators are being responsible for mitigating environmental constraints. Today to implement airport environmental management system is seen as a critical way of solution. To ensure effective implementation of this system, an organizational change with definite roles, responsibilities and structure are needed. This study illustrates a way of organizational response to market forces and national regulations guiding the achievement of sustainable airports by determining the structure and the roles in an airport organization.

The transportation is the core functional elements in the logistics activities. If not focusing on implementation of eco-friendly management in the process of logistic transportation, it is impossible to build an eco-friendly logistic system as a whole. Developed countries attach great importance to environmental issues and spare no effort in promoting the reform of logistics transportation. In order to comply with sustainable development in society and economy, China's transportation industry is urgently in need of more scientific management. Based on the relevant issues of current logistic transportation, from the perspectives of multi-subject such as the government, the enterprises and the public, this article analyzes the feasible approach to achieving the eco-friendly transportation management to ensure harmonious development of efficient transportation, social economy, environment and resources.

We examine the current state of the US public corporation and how it has evolved over the last 40 years. After falling by 50 percent since its peak in 1997, the number of public corporations is now smaller than 40 years ago. These corporations are now much larger and over the last twenty years have become much older; they invest differently, as the average firm invests more in R&D than it spends on capital expenditures; and compared to the 1990s, the ratio of investment to assets is lower, especially for large firms. Public firms have record high cash holdings and, in most recent years, the average firm has more cash than long-term debt. Measuring profitability by the ratio of earnings to assets, the average firm is less profitable, but that is driven by smaller firms. Earnings of public firms have become more concentrated—the top 200 firms in profits earn as much as all public firms combined. Firms' total payouts to shareholders as a percent of earnings are at record levels. Possible explanations for the current state of the public corporation include a decrease in the net benefits of being a public company, changes in financial intermediation, technological change, globalization, and consolidation through mergers.

The technology development process for the public sector in the transportation industry in South Africa became fragmented as a result of a short-term view with a lack of strategic focus. The subsequent perceived poor performance of the technology development program and inadequate implementation of results motivated the development of a new model for technology development—utilizing a holistic, systems approach at the strategic level with supporting techniques and basic information. The conceptual development of the new technology development model implemented in South Africa is discussed and the use of some of the concepts in the planning and execution of technology development programs for the Southern African Bitumen Association (Sabita) and the South African Department of Transport (SADoT) are illustrated. It is concluded that technology transfer and implementation would be much more effective if it were conducted as part of the technology development system.

SummaryTurbine-powered helicopters mark the most important step taken thus far in the transition from development to business for that segment of the transportation industry which utilises the capability for vertical flight.Completing more than a year ot detailed study and evaluation, New York Airways recently announced its commitment to purchase ten multi-turbine Vertol 107 aircraft designed to cruise in excess of 150 miles per hour with 25 passengers. They will be introduced into service in the spring of 1961. With these machines commercial revenues could, for the first time, offset all operating charges and produce a fair return on the capital investment—without government financial support. The availability of the Fairey Rotodyne in 1964 will place New York Airways in a position to offer the public a substantially enlarged and even more useful service operating on a business basis.
