years later than initially anticipated, COMAC 8

to Chengdu Air21 delivers first ARJ

A major milestone was reached in Chinese commercial aviation

history with the delivery of COMAC’s first ATJ21 to Chinese

Airline Chengdu Air. The project, which started back in 2002,

finally came to fruition after many setbacks, caused mainly by a

lack of aerospace design and engineering resources, together

with a paucity of Chinese companies able to push forward the

production. This is China’s first locally built regional jet to go into

service.

The aircraft, which is designed to seat 78 passengers in a dual-

class configuration and 90 passengers in a full economy class

configuration, is intended to challenge the narrow-body sector of

the market currently occupied by Embraer and Bombardier.

Interest has been strong from the domestic market with the

majority of its 342 advanced orders for the aircraft coming from

Chinese airlines, with an order of 5 with an option for 20 coming

from the US financing and leasing company, GECAS.

The launch of the ARJ21 has been described by COMAC as a big

breakthrough in their efforts to develop domestic jet aircraft

design and manufacturing capabilities, though currently it only

has certification to fly domestically, having received its Type

Certification under Chapter 25 of the Chinese civil aviation

regulations from the Civil Aviation Administration of China

(CAAC), on December 30, 2014. It will not be until it receives

certification from the FAA that the aircrafts true viability against its

competitors can be truly judged.

Fiji Airways Crosses One Million Passengers for

2015Fiji Airways, Fiji’s National Airline, yesterday celebrated

crossing the one-million mark for 2015 passengers. Suva-

based customer Ravin Singh was the one-millionth

passenger, and was awarded a prize including a return

trip anywhere on the Fiji Airways network yesterday

(Monday November 30th) as he flew from Nadi to

Auckland.

This is only the second time that Fiji Airways has

exceeded the one-million passenger mark in a year, with

2014 being the first.

Singh, whose family has been regular Fiji Airways’

customers was surprised at check-in with the news that he

was the one-millionth Fiji Airways customer:

“I thought it was a prank when I was informed by the

airline staff. I feel very lucky indeed.”

Meanwhile, Fiji Airways also announced that the airline

has again crossed the 100,000 passenger mark in a

month. 101,183 passengers flew in October, making it just

the second time in history for the Fijian national carrier to

achieve this result. The first was in July 2015.

GLOBAL TRAVEL & TOURISM LEADERS

21 HOPEFUL FOR POSITIVE OUTCOME AT COP

TALKSIn support of the United Nations Climate Change Conference,

COP 21, taking place in Paris this week, the members of the

Global Travel Association Coalition (GTAC) have reiterated the

industry’s commitment to contribute to fight climate change, and

express their hopes for successful talks.

Speaking as Chairman of GTAC, David Scowsill, President &

CEO of the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), said:

“The Travel & Tourism sector expresses its hope for a successful

outcome to the talks in Paris and reiterates that our organizations,

working together as the Global Travel Association Coalition, are

committed to make a meaningful and long term contribution to

fighting climate change.

“Travel & Tourism contributes nearly 10% of the world’s GDP and

supports one in eleven of all jobs on the planet. Over one billion

people cross international borders each year, a number expected

to reach 1.8 billion by 2030. This growth in Travel & Tourism will

bring about enormous social and economic development across

the world, particularly for Least Developed Countries (LDCs),

Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) and Small Island

Developing States.

We have a serious responsibility to ensure that we decouple the

growth of the sector from its impact on our environment to ensure

that tourism can continue to contribute to socio-economic

inclusiveness and development in the long term.”

AGMth 48of AACO Results (1)

The Arab Air Carriers Organization (AACO) convened its 48th

AGM today in Jeddah under the Chairmanship of H.E Eng. Saleh

N. Al Jasser/ Director General of Saudia. The AGM was held

under the High Patronage of HRH Prince Khalid Al Faisal bin

Abdul Aziz Al-Saud, Advisor to the Custodian of the Two Holy

Mosques and Governor of Makkah Region.

Participation

The AGM gathered CEOs of AACO member airlines, AACO

partner airlines and industry partners from aircraft and engine

manufacturers, Global Distribution Systems (GDSs), IT providers

and other specialized companies relevant to the Arab air transport

industry. The AGM also welcomed the Arab Civil Aviation

Commission (ACAC), the International Air Transport Association

(IATA), and a number of regional airline associations, in addition

to a number of aviation experts, where the number of delegates

surpassed 300.

Arab Air Transport Statistics in 2014

Delegates received AACO’s Annual Report, which reflects the

yearly harvest of AACO’s work during the past term and highlights

the latest developments and challenges at industry level in

addition to the achievements of AACO joint projects over the past

year. The delegates also received a copy of the Arab Air

Transport Statistics publication (AATS) covering 2014 data, in

addition to a special report on the evolution of the Arab airlines

over the past 50 years on the occasion of AACO’s 50th

anniversary. Major statistics included in AATS were as follows:

The Arab air transport market grew by 9.7% in 2014 compared to

2013, reaching 172 million passengers.


(2)for dealing with aviation emissions under ICAO, and in the

consumer protection area AACO, through its relevant working

group, developed a template document that gathers best practices

in giving consumers their rights in line with IATA and ICAO

principles, although providing the consumer with best services is

indeed part and parcel of the airlines’ product offering.

The Secretary General also highlighted the major incidents that are

transforming the global work on aviation safety and security being

the downing of MH17 and the disappearance of MH370. AACO is

cooperating with all industry stakeholders to improve the tracking of

aircraft and will be working on this area with SITA and others

following an action plan set by AACO and relevant executives of

member airlines with stakeholders at the 2015 Technical forum held

earlier in November. AACO has also launched an initiative,

following a resolution by AACOs 47th AGM, that would enhance

the awareness between member airlines on risk assessment of air

routes. This initiative has proven useful on many occasions over

the past year.

The Secretary General welcomed two new member airlines of

AACO this year: Mauritania Airlines International and Badr Airlines

that have become active members of AACO following AACO’s

Executive Committee approval earlier this year.

Speech by the Director General of ACAC

Eng. Mohamed Sherif, Director General of the Arab Civil Aviation

Commission (ACAC), presented a keynote address about the

common issues between AACO and ACAC in the fields of

aeropolitics, air safety and security, environment, and air navigation

issues and taxes, whereby the two organizations have cooperated

throughout the years in order to achieve benefits in these areas to

the Arab air transport industry.


(3)Speech by the IATA Director General

Mr. Tony Tyler, IATA Director General gave a keynote address to

the AGM focusing on safety, air traffic management, and smarter

regulations in the areas of liberalization, passenger rights,

security, taxation and other regulations.

Four Strategic Resolutions by AACO 48th AGM

The second working session was dedicated to AACO members

where they discussed the Executive Committee report which

covered strategic issues in addition to AACO’s financial and

administrative issues.

Based on the recommendations of the Executive Committee,

AACO’s AGM adopted four strategic resolutions as follows:

Aviation and the Environment: AACO 48th AGM stressed the

importance of adopting a number of principles when governments

of the world are addressing aviation’s impact on the environment.

The principles can be found in the full resolution attached to this

press release.

The AGM also called upon the Arab Civil Aviation Commission to

coordinate, constitute and advocate an Arab position that takes

into account the interests of the Arab airlines and to hold

coordination meetings in order to ensure that, and mandated the

Secretary General and the Environmental Policy Group to work

closely with the Arab Civil Aviation Commission and to continue

following up this matter in coordination with IATA and other

regional and international entities, and to report back to the

Executive Committee regarding any developments for guidance.

Full Resolution is attached to this press release.

Passenger Rights: AACO 48th AGM called upon ICAO to further

work on the principles developed by the ICAO ATRP and adopted

by the ICAO Council to include material on avoiding


(4)extraterritoriality and ensuring compatibility between passenger

rights regimes. The AGM also called upon Arab states to look into

the Consumer Protection Safety Nets and Caveats template (that

was developed by AACO AWG Consumer Protection subgroup),

when developing passenger rights regimes. This document

gathers best practices of airlines in giving passengers their rights

and could be used as relevant guidance to governments if they

wish to develop passenger rights regimes. The document is

based on ICAO and IATA principles on consumer protection.

The template is attached to this press release along with the full

resolution on consumer protection.

Air Traffic Management and Airspace Capacity in the Arab World:

AACO 48th AGM called upon all concerned states to join the

Middle East ATM Enhancement Programme, reiterated the

importance of coordination between Arab governments with

regards to airspace infrastructure developments; and directed

AACO to coordinate with states, airlines and with international

and regional associations on the technical level to identify the

priorities of the region with regards to ATM and airspace capacity,

and to work with heads of CAAs, airlines and associations to

raise those priorities to governments especially in areas that

require coordination between civil and military aviation authorities.

More details and the full resolution are attached to this press

release.

EU External Aviation Policy: AACO AGM called upon the

European Union to place the highest possible priority to the

development of infrastructure in Europe and the unification of the

European aerospace. The AGM also highlighted that the EU

aviation package should support global efforts under ICAO

umbrella in areas such as consumer protection, dealing with

aviation emissions, and security and safety standards.


(5)In addition, the AGM called upon the European Union to

recognize in the aviation package the added value that

competition brings to the market place and called upon the Arab

Civil Aviation Commission (ACAC) and the Arab Air Carriers

Organization (AACO) to engage with the European Commission

in order to highlight the principles that have been stipulated

above.

The full resolution is attached to this press release.

Panel Discussion on how will the aviation landscape evolve in the

next 50 years

The Third Working Session, as usual, gathered all invitees of

AACO AGM and witnessed the “Joint Aviation Forum”, which is a

panel discussion that was moderated this year by Mr. Richard

Quest, CNN Anchor and Correspondent. The Joint Aviation

Forum featured a session on “Towards the Diamond Jubilee..

How will the aviation landscape evolve?” Participants in this

discussion were as follows:

Mr. Mohamad A. El-Hout /Chairman & Director General/ Middle

East Airlines

& Travelism Institute, on the future of Arab airlines and their

opportunities and challenges. In addition, Mr. Ahmed Al Jallaf,

Assistant Director General of Air Navigation Services, UAE GCAA

& Chairman of MAEP gave input on a very important topic that

requires the attention of all stakeholders and that would play a

major role in dictating the future of air transport in the region;

which is aerospace management.

The delegates of the AGM also received a special publication

prepared by The Times Group/ Arabian Aerospace magazine, in

cooperation with AACO, citing special words by key people in

AACO’s history and present time, information on the Arab air

transport industry, valuable statistics and data of the 50 years

journey, and information on AACO’s member airlines and Arab air

transport industry as a whole.

Over the past year AACO redesigned its logo which was

approved by AACO’s 47th AGM and accordingly totally

refurbished its website which was launched on 28 August 2015

coinciding with the same date that AACO was established 50

years ago (on 28 August 1965).

Attached to this press release is data on the 50 years journey of

AACO member airlines and the Arab air transport sector.

Closing of the AGM


(7)As the AGM came to a close, AACO members thanked HRH

Prince Khaled Al Faisal for opening the AGM and the 48th AGM

Chairman, H.E Eng. Saleh N. Al Jasser, for leading this event and

for the generous hospitality of Saudia for all delegates of this

event. Moreover, the AGM accepted with gratitude the invitation

Resolution on Aviation and the Environment

Recalling the 66th IATA AGM Resolution on Climate Change

setting out the three ambitious targets for addressing carbon

emissions: 1.5% average annual fuel efficiency improvement

between 2010 and 2020, Carbon neutral growth from 2020 and a

reduction of 50% in net emissions by 2050 compared to 2005

levels; And

Referring to IATA 69th AGM resolution that strongly endorses the

continuing efforts of its member airlines and States within ICAO to

develop a comprehensive proposal towards a single, global MBM

mechanism to address CO2 emissions from aviation under ICAO,

as opposed to a patchwork of unilateral national and/or regional

policy measures; And

Referring to ICAO 38th Assembly resolution on Aviation and

Climate Change that Requests the Council, with the support of

member States, to undertake work to develop a framework for

market-based measures (MBMs) in international aviation,

including further elaboration of the guiding principles listed in the

Annex, for consideration by the 39th Session of the ICAO

Assembly; And


(8)Referring to AACO 42nd AGM resolution which adopted AACO

Policy paper on Aviation and the Environment, where AACO

members agree with IATA that the implementation of the industry

three targets must be done in a way that recognizes the different

levels of development of various airlines in the world and the

unique situation of every airline in terms of its fleet replacement

cycle so that no airline is unfairly penalized; And

Reaffirming that the issue of aviation and the environment must

be dealt with through the provisions and principles of the ICAO

resolution which identified the roadmap and guiding principles to

reach a global system to tackle the environmental impact of air

transport; And

Reaffirming the resolutions of AACO 42nd, 43rd, 44th, 45th and

46th AGMs, the 48th Annual General Meeting resolves the

following:

Firstly, AACO 48th AGM stresses on the importance of adopting

the following principles when governments of the world are

addressing aviation’s impact on the environment:

Any global MBM shouldn’t hamper the growth of aviation

The global MBM should supersede any national approaches by a

government or a region.

When the global MBM goes into effect, governments should

withdraw all of taxes and levies introduced under the banner of

the environment

The global MBM should recognizes the different levels of

development of various airlines in the world and the unique

situation of every airline in terms of its fleet replacement cycle so

that no airline is unfairly penalized; And

The global MBM should address the Special Circumstances and


(9)respective Capabilities of the various States

Secondly, AACO 48th Annual General Meeting also calls upon

the Arab Civil Aviation Commission to coordinate, constitute and

advocate an Arab position that takes into account the interests of

the Arab airlines and to hold coordination meetings in order to

ensure that

Thirdly, AACO 48th AGM mandates the Secretary General and

the Environmental Policy Group to work closely with the Arab

Civil Aviation Commission and to continue following up this matter

in coordination with IATA and other regional and international

entities, and to report back to the Executive Committee regarding

any developments for guidance.

Resolution on Passenger Rights

While recognizing the need to minimize the confusion created by

the proliferation of passenger rights’ regimes which in some

cases causes discrimination between passengers, harms

connectivity and results in increasing ticket prices; and

While supporting the development of consumer protection

principles by ICAO’s ATRP which aim at harmonizing passenger

rights regimes around the world; and

While highlighting the complexities, ambiguities, and burdens

resulting from highly descriptive passenger rights regulations

such as the ones in the EU and the US, and

While maintaining that the best approach for passenger rights

regimes is to discuss those with the airlines in question within the

principles adopted by ICAO and IATA, and


(10)

While praising the work done by AACO’s AWG Consumer

Protection Subgroup that has developed a document that gathers

best practices adopted by airlines in providing passengers their

rights under a “Safety Nets & Caveats” document,

AACO 48th AGM:

Calls upon ICAO to further work on the principles developed by

the ATRP and adopted by the ICAO Council to include material

on avoiding extraterritoriality and ensuring compatibility between

passenger rights regimes;

Calls upon Arab states to look into the Safety Nets and Caveats

document attached to this resolution when developing passenger

rights regimes.
