Aviation: has Boeing’s Dreamliner gone to sleep?
ChiefOfficers.Net, UK
CNBC has reported unconfirmed insider reports from Boeing that the B787, already 16 months delayed, has had its first test flight delayed again. The cause appears to be the strike in several Boeing departments which has created widespread problems for the company which has long order books but its spanner-wielding staff would prefer not to build the planes. It was announced yesterday that the two sides had reached a tentative agreement but whether the workforce accept it is another matter. If the rumours of another delay are true, it means that delivery of the first customer aircraft is now certain to be delayed – probably until sometime in 2010.
Can Asean Fully Liberalise Its Aviation Market By 2015?
Bernama, Malaysia
38 MillionNovember 05, 2008 14:12 PMCan Asean Fully Liberalise Its Aviation Market By 2015?. With the deadline for the implementation set four years ago under the Roadmap for Integration of Air Travel approaching, differing considerations on the level of liberalisation still persist. As transport ministers meet in Manila tomorrow to hammer out a deal, the ideal scenario will be for all member nations to sign up to fully liberalise regional air travel and exploit the massive tourism inflow. On paper, at least, it is an ideal vision, but the reality is that only four members are ready to do just that as the latest indication is that not all ministers agree to the time frame. Still, after years of studies and deliberations, the 10 Southeast Asian nations are set to liberalise their air services sector, bringing closer their vision of having an Asean single aviation market.
