SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: BLACKLIST.AERO AND AFBAA HAVE SIGNED A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING With great pleasure I would like to announce that the administration of the Global Aviation Register of Defaulter companies BLACKLIST.AERO and the Directorate of the African Business Aviation Association (AfBAA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding. Text of the Memorandum: “The Administration of the African Business Aviation Association and the Administration of the Global Aviation Register of Defaulter companies BLACKLIST.AERO, following the principles of creating a transparent business environment in the entire aviation market and preventing fraud and other unscrupulous activities in Aviation, have agreed on the following: 1.     The parties recognize the problem of fraudsters and systemic defaulters as a significant obstacle that threatens the safe development of the aviation market as a whole. 2.     The parties intend to conduct consultations to develop effective mechanisms to combat fraudsters and systemic defaulters within the AfBAA and at the inter-association level. 3.     The parties intend to use all their influence to inform aviation market participants about each other’s activities and introduce advanced business practices that contribute to the formation of a transparent business environment in the aviation market.”   I am sure that joining forces in the fight against fraudsters and systemic defaulters can change the situation for the better not only in the African business aviation market, as one of the most developing in the world at present. It also sets an important precedent for disseminating best business practices throughout the business aviation market. I hope other business aviation associations such as MEBAA (Middle East and North Africa Business Aviation Association), European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) , National Business Aviation Association Asian Business Aviation Association (AsBAA) and others will also take part in our noble initiative. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the entire AfBAA team for their trust. And also for the fact that they have taken on the important mission of improving the business climate in aviation. #aviation #businessaviation #blacklistaero #afbaa #mebaa #ebaa #nbaa #asbaa #cooperation

🛫✨ In 2023, domestic airlines embraced a total of 133 planes, marking a 51% annual increase as they expanded to meet surging passenger demand. 📈 Out of these, 21 aircraft were acquired on wet lease. The DGCA announced plans to enhance regulatory capacity for quicker approvals in anticipation of more inductions in 2024. 🌐🚀 #iPint #Aviation #AviationExpansion #AircraftInductions #DGCAReports #RegulatoryCapacityBoost 🇮🇳✈️

From American Airlines 2Q24 Earnings Call presentation this morning. A complete 180 on AA's distribution strategy. CEO Robert Isom explained subpar 2Q results saying, "...we did not perform to our initial expectations due to our prior sales and distribution strategy and an imbalance of domestic supply and demand.” #AmericanAirlines #Aviation #EarningsCall #AirlineIndustry #BusinessStrategy #SalesStrategy #AviationNews #Airlines

A story about how to infuriate your workforce through a one-two punch of taking away rewards while also treating them as compliant idiots: the infamous United Airlines lottery bonus scheme of 2018. Read my article at https://lnkd.in/eVqseCkx

United Airlines used to upgrade me on every flight (for free) when I was Premier 1K. For the last 3 years they've "degraded" me every year from 1K to Platinum to Gold to Silver. Now, I'm happy flying Economy Plus like a pauper (as my friends characterize by my flying choices). The degradation is largely because the premier statuses shifted from miles to dollars, and then the increasing requirements that leave no incentive to spend $16,000 every year to maintain status. #firstworldproblems #shrinkdlation #economy

NEWS: The FIP letter criticized the DGCA's latest revision of FDTL regulations, stating it grants airlines excessive discretion, jeopardizing pilots' safety for commercial interests. This concern was also raised in a writ petition before the Delhi High Court. #DGCA #PILOT #AVIATION #FIP #DELHIHIGHCOURT #INDIA #SAFETY #AVGEEK #AIRLINE
