Premium Passenger Trends and Mitigating the Danger of Lithium Batteries
International Air Transport Association (IATA)
Flying is the Business of Freedom #FlySafe #WeAreAviation
Welcome back! This week a closer look at the shift to competency-based training, premium passenger trends and outdated COVID-19 restrictions in Canada.
The carriage of lithium batteries on air transport continues to present a significant safety risk.
Unless remedial action is taken, the risk caused by the transport of lithium batteries will only increase. This is due to the accelerating rate of improvement in the energy density of a battery. Consumers are demanding more from their battery life and capability, and manufacturers are working hard to deliver.
Regulations cannot match this pace of development, rarely proceeding at anything other than a glacial pace.
“This issue is not getting the attention it deserves,” said Andres Bianchi, CEO LATAM Cargo, at the 78th?IATA AGM in Doha. “It is my first concern from a safety perspective.”

News in Brief
Canada has become a total outlier in managing COVID-19 and travel. While governments across the globe are rolling back restrictions, the Government of Canada is reinstating them.

Jet Fuel Price?(as of 15 July 2022)
For most airline business models, premium cabin classes, which comprise first and business class, contribute to a large part of the air passenger revenue, though with some regional variations.
The latest data in the #WeeklyChart suggests a shifting, upwards trend and an overall increase in premium RPK shares at the industry level.
?Although global air passenger traffic has not yet fully recovered to the 2019 level, our analysis shows signs that the pre-pandemic trend resumed for most regions and that the premium cabin classes remain important for airlines around the globe.

2 年Qualcosa emerge tra le pieghe della sicurezza. Un aspetto che da sempre ho personalmente ritenuto ad alto rischio dall'introduzione di questa tecnologia e in specifico, proprio in queste realtà dei trasporti di massa. Mi fermo qui perché si è in presenza di un contesto molto delicato e da riservarsi in sedi opportune. Se alcune mie ipotesi analitiche verrebbero conformate da "particolari test" si sarebbe in presenza di una falla potenziale ma, concreta e davvero pericolosa nel sistema di sicurezza in ambiti aeronautici.
