As Alma Air moves forward in Colombia it is important to highlight the role of multiple authorities in the process. We are currently, alongside our legal team at CMC awaiting the latest comments from Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia as we move towards a public audience which begins the countdown clock to our launch. However, Alma is much more than a plain vanilla airline, with seaplanes comes more responsibility and oversight, all of which we embrace. We are working in parallel with Dirección General Marítima - Dimar towards coastal water regulation and making 100% sure that all stakeholders are fully informed, educated and comfortable when that first Alma plane touches the water. Beyond Aerocivil and Dimar there are the inland water authorities which regulate rivers, lakes and lagoons, we have already met with Cardique & CSB and there will be more to follow. There is an explosion of new seaplane companies and services appearing around the world and crucial in this development are the environmental responsibilities. At Alma Air we too will be working as closely as possible with the authorities to make sure each destination, be it coastline, lake or river, is fully protected. To this end we visited Tropic Ocean Airways last week to understand in ever more detail the steps required for these wonderous planes to operate in perfect harmony with the environment. #seaplanes #environment Jhon Luna Alfonso Plana Boden Rupert Stebbings dec ryan Brian Mulvihill Michael Lynch

The Yamoussoukro Decision (YD), adopted in 1999, aimed to liberalize air transport in Africa by creating a Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM). However, the full implementation and realization of its objectives have been hindered by several challenges like political will, national interests, and uneven regulatory environments. Achieving full "open skies" remains complex and significant progress is still needed to a highly liberalized air transport market in Africa, which would be crucial for its full integration..
At the end of 20th Century main aviation regions like the European Union (EU) and Australia, learning from the experience of the USA and being under pressure from its liberal policy, followed a similar path in order to gain the benefits available from liberalization and to minimize its possible threats. Particularly, in the EU, despite the difference in the level of aviation development across member countries, a regional ‘Open Skies’ agreement was imposed. Van Antwerp (2002) indicates that since 1993, the EU has created a single market in which member countries’ airlines are given freedom of establishment, market access, capacity and tariff (fare) fixing for air transport within its borders.

What's The Minimum Distance For A Flight To Be Deemed A Long-Haul Service? According to a taxonomy set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), flight time is “the total time from the moment an aeroplane first moves for the purpose of taking off until the moment it finally comes to rest at the end of the flight.” Flight times can range from a minute (if you’re onboard Loganair’s flight LM711 between Westray and Papa Westray in Scotland) to Singapore Airlines’ 18-hour and 50-minute service between New York City JFK Airport and Singapore (SIN).

Did you know that passengers are weighed before boarding, sometimes without their knowledge? I was invited by Euronews România to discuss this aviation industry topic. This approach, adopted or tested by various airlines, aims mainly at flight safety and fuel consumption efficiency. It's discovered that the primary goal is to ensure optimal aircraft balance and accurate weight estimation. Airlines like Finnair or Korean Air have initiated passenger weighing, highlighting its importance for flight operation safety. These voluntary actions collect anonymous data to improve flight performance estimation. Some companies even offer incentives, like luggage vouchers, for participating passengers. Understanding that every kilogram matters in aviation is crucial, affecting both flight safety and performance. These airline measures not only optimize fuel consumption but also ensure balanced weight distribution onboard, enhancing our travel safety. It's vital to approach this topic openly and stay informed about the reasons behind these decisions. It's a delicate but necessary subject for the ongoing evolution and safety of air travel.
