Political Drivers in the Aviation Industry: Implications and Opportunities for Sustainability
Ladies and Gentleman, distinguished guests, and concerned citizens, thank you for joining us today as we reflect on the political and ecological challenges facing the British Aviation industry. Although I use the term challenges to describe the issues facing the aviation industry, I want to encourage all of you to see each challenge as a hidden opportunity. View each challenge as an opportunity for our industry to evolve as it grows more competitive, and begins to function sustainably.
Industries, such as ours, conduct business at the cross-roads of stock-holders, government regulatory agencies, all the while continuously finding ourselves subject to the geo-politics of the Middle-East and its affect on the price of crude oil. If there ever was a reason to find real world alternatives to oil- surely the fact that a sudden rise in the price of crude oil could bring airlines to a grinding halt and then soon to bankruptcy is a good one. In many other industries, such as those in telecommunications and defence, we have seen collaborations and expansions by companies into new industries and the acquisition of smaller companies. The aviation industry, on the other hand, remains committed to simply focusing on providing one product, and seem to have no interest in even securing the supply chain that allows it to provide its product. In other words, if flying is the service we provide, than we should also be investing in the development of alternate sources of fuel. After all, fuel, not only directly impacts our bottom line, fuel also makes the entire enterprise possible.
To this endeavour we propose the creation of a research consortium sponsored by the dues of the British Aviation Association. This research consortium will be tasked with the job of investigating opportunities for investment, research & development, cross-training, and building relationships and partnerships among aviation companies in Europe and elsewhere. The relationships will be built so that companies that would usually be competitors may find a common ground for collaboration. Twice a year such a research consortium would produce reports and updates to all the members so that we remain informed not only of what...
U.S. statistics indicate that 80% of aviation accidents are due to human errors with 50% due to maintenance human factor problems. Current human factor management programs have not succeeded to the degree desired. Many industries today use performance excellence frameworks such as the Baldrige National Quality Award framework to improve over-all organizational effectiveness, organizational culture and personal learning and growth. A survey administered to a sample population of senior aviation
Running head: FINAL AVIATION PROJECT REPORT36FINAL AVIATION PROJECT REPORTExecutive SummaryThe onset of the COVID-19 pandemic brought devastating calamity for the global economy, affecting every scope of the economy. Among the industries primarily affected by the pandemic is the aviation industry. With many countries across the world imposing travel bans to contain the spread of the virus, the Asian-Pacific region was no exception. Among the most affected airlines in the region

A large body of literature has treated many different aspects of these influences on Asia, Europe and the United States (Busser & Sadoi, 2003). The importance of the study relates to the current trends taking place in Libya where aggressive steps have been taken in recent years to normalize relations with the international community. For example, Libya opened up its programs to develop weapons of mass destruction to international
pros outweigh the cons of airport navigational systems upgrades. Specifically, the study conducts analysis of the perceived costs and benefits of maintaining legacy versus next generation (Nextgen) aviation terminal navigation systems (NAVAIDS). The study tests the hypothesis that the cost-benefit ratio of upgrading NAVAIDs to Nextgen systems justifies the expense when compared to continuing to use existing legacy systems. The null hypothesis is that the cost-benefit ratio of upgrading
drivers of using biofuel in the airlines industry are closely linked to the evolution of oil prices in the last decade, as well as to the risks associated with the use of petroleum fuel. First of all, the oil prices have continuously increased over the last decades and the evaluations that this would happen date back to after 2003. As early as 2009, the predictions for the period 2009-2016 reflected
