As the aviation industry faces its biggest crisis in recent history because of high fuel prices and the economic slowdown, airlines are forced to do business differently as they seek to trim operating costs ruthlessly to brace themselves for tough times ahead. ?Jet Airways is working on all areas to streamline operations, including cutting loss-making routes,? says Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, CEO of Jet Airways, India?s largest private airline. India?s aviation industry lost $1 billion (Dh3. 6bn) last financial year ending March 2008 and it expects to lose another $2bn this financial year. Jet Airways? fuel bills have increased by $50 million a month.

Aviation Fuel to Be Supplied to Airports Based Only on Long-Term …
istockAnalyst.com (press release), OR
Oct 25 (Interfax) – The Russian government has decided that aviation fuel will be supplied to airports based solely on long- term contracts, Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov said. “A decision on this score has been made: contracts will be long- term, for about a year, and the prices will be tied to market prices for oil products,” Ivanov said at a conference dealing with the situation in the aviation sector. Ivanov also proposed discussing the reduction of a term within which airlines can sell tickets in advance. At the present time, airlines sell tickets half a year ahead, “and, given the volatility of kerosene prices, this causes problems,” Ivanov said. “Tickets are sold, but there is not enough working capital,” he explained.

Appointment of new DG CAA: but where is the national aviation policy
The News International, Pakistan
This scribe remembers that ex-DG CAA Farook Rehmatullaha, who is preparing to take charge as OGDC chairman, has declared in his last few months of service in the CAA that the aviation policy will be introduced shortly but till date nothing has been heard about the most awaited announcement of the implementation of the new aviation policy. The new aviation policy which was prepared by CAA is expected to open new corridors in aviation sectors and may promote not only tourism but also may bring great attractions for private importers, manufacturers, and airlines operators besides promoting national sports and aviation industry of the country. A source in aviation has disclosed that the only opposition which the CAA is facing is the PIAC which never wanted implementation of this policy. “They fear that the PIAC’s interests have not been watched or safeguarded although while finalising this policy each and every operator including small aviators have been consulted,” well-placed source in air transport department of the CAA disclosed. Air blue mastermind and chief operation officer MNA Shahid Khakan Abbasi while informally talking a few days ago, was of the view that the policy should have come by all means as every one is waiting for it.
