some unique in-flight experiences you might experience with Middle Eastern airlines: 1-Dates and Arabic Coffee: When flying with Middle Eastern carriers like Emirates, Etihad, or Qatar Airways, you’ll often receive a warm welcome with a small tray of dates and a cup of Arabic coffee. It’s a delightful way to start your journey. The coffee is usually flavored with cardamom and served in a tiny handleless cup. 2-In-Flight Prayer: On some Middle Eastern airlines, you might notice passengers standing up and facing Mecca during prayer times. The cabin crew usually announce the Qibla direction, and passengers perform their prayers in the aisle or at the back of the plane. 3-Business Class Luxury: Middle Eastern airlines are famous for their business and first-class cabins. Expect seats that convert into fully flat beds, gourmet meals served on fine china, and top-notch amenities. You’ll feel like royalty, even at 30,000 feet. #middleast #travel #cabincrew #firstclass #infographics #iraq #erbil #baghdad #UAE #Saudiarabia #Qatar

On behalf of all of us at NACC, Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays! 2023 was the year that passengers returned to the skies in pre-pandemic numbers and air travel performance improved. But of course, challenges remain, so as I look forward to 2024, my wish list for aviation includes: *A long awaited federal Sustainable Aviation Fuels policy to incentivize domestic production. *A fair and balanced APPR regulatory framework that puts safety at its core. *Implementation of a true shared accountability system to improve overall air travel. *A greater appreciation for the contribution of air travel to Canada's social and economic progress. *Investments in Canada's airport infrastructure. *A modernized regulatory framework in such areas as safety and security, biometrics, labour, 5G, and others. *A plan to increase the supply and retention of aviation labour, including pilots. In the meantime, wishing you all a safe, happy, and memorable holiday season!

Norse Atlantic Airways has revealed its next route: Athens International Airport to New York JFK. Served five weekly from the end of May, the obviously summer-only service will often see flights leaving #Greece between 07:00 and 07:35. Ouch. It is another ex-Norwegian route, although OAG shows that it only operated in S19, not long before it pulled all long-haul ops. Athens-NYC capacity has been growing strongly recently, with S23 having the most seats and flights ever, per OAG. When writing and subject to change, it means Norse’s route network in S24 will be from Athens, Berlin, London Gatwick, Oslo, Paris CDG, and Rome. As is often discussed, this raises the question of spreading itself thinly with all that means on marketing and everything else. Much better to consolidate and focus on one airport (e.g, Gatwick) and really grow a solid basis. Gatwick-Boston and Dulles still appear at what seems to be full fare, the only routes that are, *suggesting* things may be changing. According to ACL's S24 ICR for Dubai (see here https://lnkd.in/e8D5vCsX), it has secured slots for service from Gatwick. We know that mere possession does not mean it will happen and that things can shift around for competitive reasons. Winter continues to be very problematic, to put it kindly. While Norse already made many changes, including after the season started such as the postponement of CDG-JFK outside the peak Christmas/NY period, changes continue. While it varies somewhat per week, Norse has more or less cut Gatwick to Barbados and Montego Bay to weekly (!) from mid-January. When originally announced, Barbados was meant to be daily – although that was a rather optimistic frequency. In some weeks, Miami falls to three weekly. #airlines #airports #aviation #flights

Consumer sentiment says nothing about the truth in respect to vaccine science, but what it does speak to is what happens when health authorities do not speak clearly and honestly about scientific issues such as what was known and unknown about the novel mRNA and adenoviral vector vaccines - let's not pretend any more that these were well established and understood technologies - they were a complete gamble and they should have said so - the result is there has been a massive loss of community confidence in public health officials who approved these misleading marketing messages. Safe and effective - is this how anyone would now describe the now withdrawn adenoviral vector vaccines? I hope not if they want to retain any credibility. This loss of community confidence does not bode well for future pandemics. Needless to say this was all completely predictable. Public health officials willfully distorting the truth regardless of their motives in doing so = loss of community confidence in public health, it is that simple. I am fully pro vaccines, after all it is what i have done for most of my life, it is these false prophets and those on the mRNA gravy train who are rapidly destroying all public confidence in vaccines. Just wait for it, now these same people, and they know who I am referring to, will again try and come and shoot the messenger. All I am saying is be honest, take off your Pfizer supplied glasses, look at all the data, not just the selective data you chose to see, and honestly tell me there are not issues with these new technologies that need urgently addressing, starting with the myocarditis. This is not a time to be putting your collective heads in the sand if you want to restore the public's faith in vaccine policy.

One of Europe's Largest Flight Attendant Organisations Stands with Emirates Crew Against Inhumane Working Conditions During Historic Storm The EUROPEAN CABIN CREW ASSOCIATION (EurECCA), representing over 70% of organized cabin crew in Europe, has expressed solidarity with Dubai-based Emirates cabin crew, condemning the airline's disregard for health and safety during recent historic storms. In a statement, EurECCA declared: "EurECCA STANDS ALONGSIDE EMIRATES CABIN CREWS FORCED TO TAKE DUTY DURING THE WEATHER EMERGENCY. The numerous images and messages requesting support that our fellow flight attendants at the Emirates airline spread all over European social media only confirm the well-known disregard for the most basic principles of health and safety at work. The legal impossibility of joining forces to assert one’s rights has brought out, during the exceptional meteorological events which have affected the Emirate area, all the limits of a “work system” where people count for nothing and, regardless, 'the show must go on'. It is the commitment of EurECCA – which represents over 35 thousand flight attendants across Europe – to raise attention to the continuing lack of rights and protections in some air carriers in the Gulf: these shortcomings emerge, dramatically, precisely in exceptional situations. The difference in terms of rights is also an economic saving (without wanting to mention the moral implications): at a time when global competition is increasingly challenging, the adequate level of protection guaranteed to one’s employees must also be of importance." In the UAE, it's illegal for employees to advocate for better conditions, prompting global support for Emirates staff. This solidarity underscores the interconnectedness of the airline industry and the importance of upholding international aviation standards.

Emirates has announced their second daily flight between Dubai and Perth/Boorloo will resume in December, bringing with it an extra 129,000 inbound seats to Western Australia every year.     The resumption of this pre-pandemic service strengthens our state’s reputation as the Western Gateway to Australia, with WA the only state or territory with non-stop aviation connections with the United Kingdom and Continental Europe, through services between Perth and London, Rome, and the soon-to-launch Paris service.     #WAtheDreamState has secured multiple direct flight connections with 19 global destinations. Latest figures show Perth's international aviation capacity has now recovered to 94 per cent of pre-COVID levels (as of December 2023), with the state on track to restore aviation capacity in full before the end of the financial year.     More details here: https://bit.ly/48QQkz8
