Envoy Air’s Post

A synergistic union Recently Norwegian acquired the regional airline Wideroe which operates over 40 destinations, mainly domestic Norway. I have the most profound respect for the front line personnel at Wideroe; As the polar lows drifts in, one after the other, the staff at Wideroe have learned to act in the harshest of environments as the triad of cold, darkness and snow has been their constant companions when they have solved their tasks. The same goes for my highly trained and professional colleagues at Norwegian. Without a doubt, both corps are among the foremost winter-operational workforces in the world. A merger between two companies that thrive independently is highly advantageous. Each entity brings its unique strengths and capabilities to the table and combines them, creating a powerful synergy poised for sustainable growth and competitive advantage in the market. And as you all know, flying is a teamwork. Norwegian Widerøe Article in Norwegian

Aviation has a real challenge to find enough staff to support the anticipated industry growth in the coming years. One of the solutions to this challenge is to broaden the available talent pool through effective Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) activities. At a time when DEI is seen negatively by some people, it is important that the industry develops the right approach to this important topic so that we can encourage more people that a career in aviation is for them. Then once they come, it is important that organisations are able to support them to perform to the best of their abilities so that they stay in aviation for the long term. On March 6 & 7, #EASA, EUROCONTROL and AirNav Ireland will host a DEI Workshop to continue work on the development of a toolkit that will help organisations implement DEI in a way that helps solve our future workforce challenges.

My dad worked at customs at the airport in the early 90’s and I took a Summer job there when I was 15. Since then I always wanted to come back, and I started with airBaltic in 1996. What quote has most resonated with you? Treat others how you would like to be treated. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? Don’t lie. What is the most adventurous thing you have ever done? I can’t disclose it… If you could have dinner with any three people, living or dead, who would it be and why? Michael Jordan, my sports idol, Robert de Niro, to see if he’s fun or boring, and my Godfather John, who passed away during Covid, and I did not have a chance to see him for a few last years. https://lnkd.in/eDbYezMd #AirCargo #AirFreight #SupplyChain #Logistics #AirCargoWeek

OACIS’, one of the first off airport check-in companies, success is personally inspirational for me and a great example of how we as an industry are making travel better together. OACIS takes the airport check-in experience to you. Not just on an individual level, but for groups too - school trips, group tours, military events - do all the check-in and bag drop work off airport at times convenient for you before you travel. Simple in concept, but game changing for the families involved. I am ex-military and my dad was also in the military throughout my childhood. One thing that’s the hardest about military life is the long good-byes. No matter how many you do, they’re always hard and you wish you had more time to say good bye. It’s awesome that we now have a service where the to be deployed soldier can do all the check-in/bag drop off in advance… leaving the emotional goodbye period at the airport for better good byes. Thanks OACIS for inspirationally using technology to make travel better for everyone. #travelbetter #amadeus Amadeus for airports OACIS #airport #airportit

Toncontín International Airport in Tegucigalpa, Honduras is considered one of the most dangerous airports in the world for several reasons: -Challenging Approach and Landing -Unpredictable Weather Conditions -Short Runway Length -Surrounding Terrain -Lack of Advanced Navigational Aids -Operational Limitations These factors, combined with the high traffic volume and the proximity of the airport to the urban area, contribute to the overall perception of Toncontín as one of the most dangerous airports in the world. Pilots and airlines must exercise extreme caution and follow strict safety protocols when operating at this airport. However thanks to the excellent training of our crews, along with the strict maintenance that our aircraft receive and all the great operations team work, last week our Lear Jet 45 (XA-EMM) flew successfully at this airport.

All the foreign airlines are ready for Onyema ooo. They are giving out prices below him as we speaks, before he forces them out of market...na the Egusi soup and amala Airpeace provides go be the difference now ...so should Nigezens patronized Onyema's Airpeace even if a little bit higher than the other now for making this competition happen or make them go to the foreign ones that are now cheaper despite they were reaping people before ? Should Nigezens stay loyal to Onyema and ignore the other cheaper foreign Airlines just to reward him or its all about competition/ market forces of demand and supply - therefore one can go where they like without rewarding Onyema. What if Onyema pull out later due to low patronage and the foreign Airlines go back to their game ? Nigezens make una no fall for this trick ooo...or how you see am ? #Tinosbullet
