Podcasts about civil aviation authority

Pushy passengers – we'll all come across them. The people who get up the minute the plane lands and race to the front in a bid to get off the flight first... they've been dubbed ‘aisle lice'.It seems that airlines are cracking down on bad behaviour on board, and now Turkey's Civil Aviation Authority have announced they will be fining impatient passengers skipping the queue and standing up before the airplane officially comes to a stop at the gate.Joining Seán to tell more is Consumer Journalist Siobhan Maguire.

In an unprecedented and coordinated attack, the airlines that use Heathrow airport – as well a prominent hotelier – are demanding lower charges and higher standards. Virgin Atlantic, British Airways' parent IAG, the Heathrow Airline Operators' Committee (AOC) and the Arora hotel group say the current way that charges are set by the Civil Aviation Authority are not fit for purpose.Heathrow says it wants a better long-term arrangement, but that expansion – in the form of a third runway – must be paid for.This podcast is free, as is Independent Travel's weekly newsletter.

What's the Government's obsession with speeding things up? Today, it's the queues at airport security that it wants to go faster - with Transport Minister Simeon Brown looking at bringing-in private operators to run airport security instead of the Civil Aviation Authority. As far as I'm concerned, if you don't get through security on time and miss your flight, it's your own fault. And I do not like the idea of private security outfits taking over. Instead, I think the Government should be focused on getting the Civil Aviation Authority to lift its game. Now this is done in some airports around the world. I've been reading about a scheme in the States. It's also done in Australia, where private operators pretty much run all aviation security services. And Simeon Brown wants to find out if we should do the same thing here. But I don't think the US and Australia are the best countries for us to mimic on this one because both countries have different standards on a lot of things because they are divided into states. With each state having their own rules and regs. We don't, which is why I think we need to stick with a standard operation right through the country, run by a single government agency. I went through San Francisco on my way to the UK back in May this year, and I see security services there are run by an outfit called Covenant Aviation Security. But I didn't have any choice, and it doesn't mean I have to like it. My main concerns about private operators taking over here is the risk of inconsistency in training, inconsistency in approach, and the variable quality control. I don't like the fact that private operators don't have the same access to the type of intel that gets shared between government agencies and not with private organisations and businesses. Nor should they, in my view. I like knowing that airport security is all part of the big government machine that kicks into gear when things hit the fan. For example - in times of emergency. I know that private businesses and organisations are critical and also do great things in times of strife, but it's not the same as a public agency, like the Civil Aviation Authority. One of the unions that represents aviation security workers doesn't like what the Government is proposing, either. And, before you get too excited, yes I can see through some of what it's saying. Especially, its concern that what the Government is proposing could mean job losses for the people involved. So, of course, a union is going to oppose anything where that's possible. But I'm with the National Union of Public Employees (or NUPE) when it says that privatising aviation security would be risky because the pay and conditions offered by private security firms would likely be inferior to what the Civil Aviation provides its workers. And so, you'd get less experienced people running security at the airports and there'd probably be higher staff turnover. And I'm with the union when it says that allowing the airports to hire their own private aviation providers would lead to inconsistency across the country. Because it would allow airports to cut costs and set their own standards. At the moment, the same rules and standards apply everywhere because the same outfit does it, and that's how I think it should stay. I'm at odds, though, with someone who knows a lot more about this than me. But I'm basing my position on my gut instinct. Captain David Morgan is Air New Zealand's chief pilot and operational integrity and safety officer - and he's backing what the Government is looking at doing. He's saying today: “We are not necessarily interested in delivering aviation security, but we are interested in the enablement of alternative providers for aviation security in New Zealand." He says third-party aviation security providers are quite common everywhere else. But even though Air New Zealand's top pilot is telling me that I've got nothing to worry about if the Government does go-ahead with this, I still don't like it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The spotlight's on the aviation sector, with a raft of changes on the way.   From next month, airports will face monthly performance reports and closer airfare monitoring.   Transport Minister Simeon Brown's also ordered a review of the Civil Aviation Authority's proposed hikes to determine if they're proportionate and justified.   He told Mike Hosking it's been tough for the aviation industry on the back of the pandemic, but it plays a critical role in our economy.   Brown says every single part of the industry and Government needs to be doing their bit to ensure we're a competitive country to do business with, and to grow the sector.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

*) Israel issues flee or die ultimatum in northern Gaza The Israeli military has issued a new ultimatum for tens of thousands of Palestinians in several areas in the northern Gaza, who have nowhere left to go, ordering them to flee ahead of a possible military invasion. The military statement ordered Palestinians to flee towards "shelters" in western Gaza City, claiming it as a "safe area." The Israeli army ordered all those in the 10 neighbourhoods and areas of Al-Salateen, Al-Atatra, Al-Seifa, Al-Karama, and Al-Ghabn to evacuate. *) Biden picks pro-Israel official to direct US policy on Palestine The Biden administration has appointed a senior diplomat seen as a proponent of lethal weapons transfers to Israel to a new role in shaping US policy on the Israel's war on Gaza. Mira Resnick is taking over the role of the deputy assistant secretary for Israeli-Palestinian affairs in the State Department's Middle East office after Andrew Miller left the position. Resnick's appointment raised concern among some foreign policy professionals, and was seen as "alarming" by opponents of President Joe Biden's unconditional support for Israel's war on Gaza. *) Hundreds of Asian refugees trapped at Sao Paulo's airport Hundreds of asylum seekers from India, Nepal and Vietnam have been stuck in Brazil's Sao Paulo's international airport for weeks in alarming conditions. At least 666 irregular migrants without visas were waiting to enter Brazil with the added uncertainty that the government plans to tighten entry rules on the flow of foreigners using Brazil as a stopover to get to the United States and Canada. *) Türkiye, Russia resume joint patrols in northern Syria The Turkish National Defence Ministry has announced that Türkiye and Russia have resumed their joint ground patrols in northern Syria, suspended last October due to the deteriorating security situation in the region. The joint patrols are conducted in the Peace Spring Operation as per the Sochi agreement signed between Ankara and Moscow on 22 October 2019. *) Don't use Somaliland country code, Somalia tells airlines Flydubai and Ethiopian Airlines have removed "Somaliland" from their websites after Somalia issued an ultimatum to the carriers, demanding not to use references to the "unrecognised breakaway region" when booking flights. Somalia's government, through its Civil Aviation Authority, sent the warning to Ethiopian Airlines and Flydubai, saying that failing to comply with the directive would bar them from flying over Somalia's airspace.

Whistleblowers at the Civil Aviation Authority have issued a dire warning about aviation safety in New Zealand. Staff describe a toxic culture, with the CAA's director “asleep at the wheel”.

We're going to take you to the skies today, not by using a plane but by getting you to hop on a flying car instead!  Announced in 2021 as an evolution of Hyundai Motor Group's urban air mobility business, our guest Supernal is on the quest to develop an electric vertical take-off and landing (or eVTOL) vehicle, as well as the accompanying ground-to-air ecosystem to support the emerging industry.  The company prides itself as harnessing world class manufacturing, automation, supply chain and R&D expertise to make what it calls the new and efficient transportation option widely accessible in the coming decades.  What that means to the firm, is that it is focused on building the right product and market fit, more so than rushing to be the first to market.  To this end, the company had in January unveiled its electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle concept at one of the largest technology events globally, the 2024 Consumer Electronics show.  It was also at the sidelines of this event that the company said it would commercialise the S-A2 aircraft by 2028 in South Korea and the US. So when will the vehicles be commercially available in Sunny Singapore?  Speaking of Singapore, Supernal had in February this year inked agreements with the Singapore Economic Development Board and the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore to further develop advanced air mobility capabilities and expertise in both Singapore and Asia Pacific.  But what can we expect from both sides when it comes to creating regulatory frameworks in the nascent industry and building an ecosystem of support infrastructure for urban air mobility networks? And how important is Singapore as both a demand market and a testbed for Supernal given its population density?  On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Diana Cooper, Chief Partnerships and Policy Officer, Supernal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TOO HEAVY FOR THAT FLIGHT? AIRLINE STARTS WEIGHING PASSENGERS BEFORE BOARDING While there are multiple memes and TikTok videos about frustrated passengers putting multiple items of clothing on themselves right at the counter, weighing the passengers themselves has up until now largely been a joke and industry taboo due to the ethics around such a practice — Air New Zealand announced that it would start doing just that as part of a pilot program requested by the country's Civil Aviation Authority. Dubbed the "International Passenger Weight Survey," the program will ask travelers traveling out of New Zealand through the Auckland airport to step on a scale and weigh themselves along with any carry-on baggage. "For safety reasons we need to know the weight of all items onboard the aircraft," Air New Zealand announced in a new ravel alert page on its website. Former Airline Pilot who has built and run several aviation businesses over the course of his career // currently serves as the CEO of Thrust Flight, a multi-location flight training organization that has trained thousands of pilots from around the world. This rapidly expanding flight school operates the popular "Zero Time to Airline" program that trains future airline pilots PATRICK ARNZEN has some answers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand's Civil Aviation Authority is asking that its national airline weigh passengers departing on international flights from Auckland International Airport through July 2, 2023. Travelers will be asked to stand on a digital scale when they check-in for their flight. The information about their weight is then submitted to the survey but will not be viewable on the agent's screen. Webpage

It's the time of year to perhaps start thinking about a holiday, and when you have a visual impairment there are often lots of things to consider. How you'll get there, whether the accommodation will be accessible and the kinds of activities that you'll do. So, we thought we'd look at some trips that could be suitable; including Sense Adventures, who offer walking holidays in the Malvern Hills and elsewhere, The Visually Impaired Sailing Association, who teach you how to sail a yacht and Christine Thomas tells us about why her static caravan in Cornwall is perfect for her independence. A few weeks ago, we spoke about a consultation that the Civil Aviation Authority have launched, to gather people's experiences of accessibility when dealing with airlines. They have now added a phone line, as well as online and email submission options. The number to call is: 0330 138 5015. You can also email: consumerenforcement@caa.co.uk.

Questions are being asked about whether airline pilots are properly protected and supported. Particularly whether they feel comfortable reporting mental health issues.The recently passed Civil Aviation Act repeals and replaces its thirty-plus year old predecessor, and the much older Airport Authorities Act (passed in 1966). The Act enables the Civil Aviation Authority to regulate, support and improve levels of safety and security throughout the sector. But parts of the aviation community say it has missed an opportunity, by leaving crew without independent support and leaving airlines with the responsibility for instigating pilot support programmes. John Nicholson is the chief executive of industry group Aviation New Zealand. He thinks the new Aviation Act was a once in a life time opportunity to get things right for crew, but hasn't gone far enough. He speaks with Kathryn Ryan along with international Air New Zealand 777 pilot and Medical and Welfare Officer for the New Zealand Air Line Pilots' Association Dave Church, who is speaking out against the new law for not adequately protecting vulnerable pilots experiencing mental health problems.

Helen Pownall contacted In Touch with the aim of warning other visually impaired people to keep an eye on their energy accounts. This was prompted when her visually impaired mother in law accumulated a credit of nearly five thousand pounds and she was no longer was receiving her bills in large print.

Inspectors charged with making sure the aerospace industry is safe are so overworked it has been causing their own health and safety problems. This comes from ministerial briefings by the regulators themselves, the Civil Aviation Authority and Ministry of Transport. But the industry is warning that international start-ups are now bypassing New Zealand due to the  regulatory logjam. Phil Pennington is looking into this.  

Nepal's Civil Aviation Authority says it's not yet clear what caused the accident. - गत आईतवार पोखरामा भएको यति एयरको विमान दुर्घटनामा परेका ७० जनाको शव भेटीएको छ।

*) Death toll rises in Russian missile strike The death toll from Saturday's Russian missile strike on an apartment building in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro has risen to at least 35, the governor said. Two children were among the dead, and the fate of another 35 residents of the building is unknown with rescue efforts continuing. 39 people have been rescued from the rubble, and 75 people, including 14 children, were injured in the attack. *) Dozens dead after passenger plane crashes in Nepal At least 68 people have been killed after a plane with 72 on board crashed into a gorge while landing at a newly-opened airport in Nepal. The twin-engine ATR 72 aircraft was carrying 68 passengers, including 15 foreign nationals, and four crew members, according to Nepal's Civil Aviation Authority. While reports of the death toll varied, the aviation authority said 68 people had died in the crash, marking Nepal's deadliest airplane accident in thirty years. *) There is "no room" in New York for migrants: mayor In an unprecedented move, the mayor of New York has travelled to the Mexican border city of El Paso and declared that there is no room in the city for migrants. The move by Eric Adams, a Democrat, came after he said the migrant influx into New York could cost America's most populous city as much as 2 billion dollars. In recent months, busloads of migrants seeking sanctuary in the US have been sent to New York and other Democrat-run cities by Republican states like Florida and Texas. *) Death toll from bomb blast in DR Congo rises At least 17 people have been killed in a suspected terrorist bomb attack during Sunday services in a church in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. A government spokesperson said the attack was visibly perpetrated by terrorists from the Allied Democratic Forces, a Ugandan group aligned with the Daesh terrorist group. The statement said 17 people had died, while 20 sustained severe injuries and were admitted to health centers. And finally… *) Barca beat Madrid, win Spanish Super Cup Barcelona have convincingly beaten Real Madrid 3-1 in Saudi Arabia to win the Spanish Super Cup. Barcelona were dominant in every aspect of the game and took advantage of three mistakes by Real Madrid to score. Barcelona star Gavi, who won the Golden Boy award in 2022, was the game's outstanding performer.

 A plane making a 27-minute flight to a Nepal tourist town crashed into a gorge Sunday while attempting to land at a newly opened airport, killing at least 68 of the 72 people aboard. At least one witness reported hearing cries for help from within the fiery wreck, the country's deadliest airplane accident in three decades.Hours after dark, scores of onlookers crowded around the crash site near the airport in the resort town of Pokhara as rescue workers combed the wreckage on the edge of the cliff and in the ravine below. Officials suspended the search for the four missing people overnight and planned to resume looking Monday.Local resident Bishnu Tiwari, who rushed to the crash site near the Seti River to help search for bodies, said the rescue efforts were hampered by thick smoke and a raging fire.“The flames were so hot that we couldn't go near the wreckage. I heard a man crying for help, but because of the flames and smoke we couldn't help him,” Tiwari said.It was not immediately clear what caused the accident, Nepal's Civil Aviation Authority said.READ MORE: https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/nation-world/nepal-plane-crashes-during-landing/507-01a14296-c6d3-4b78-887a-2a45b96bea39A man was pronounced dead after a shooting in east Charlotte on Sunday.According to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, a shooting happened on Barrington Drive near Montego Drive on Sunday.A male victim was found at the scene and transported to a local hospital.

After Malaysia was unceremoniously downgraded by FAA, questions were raised about our safety standard. We speak to Datuk Captain Chester Voo Chee Soon, CEO of the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM), about how challenging it was to restore our status after 3 years. We also asked if the MAVCOM and CAAM merger is still pending.

Mandy's hope of becoming a fast jet pilot in the Royal Air Force was once an impossible dream. When Mandy first became interested in flying, women were not permitted to fly in the military. But the tides turned for Mandy when the rules were finally changed to allow women to fly on the front lines. Her dream was now within reach, but the challenges had only just begun.Mandy's story is one that is already having an impact on future generations. In this episode, you will hear Sylvia and Mandy talk about the early influences that led to her career in aviation, building mental resilience, deciphering between when to be a leader and when to be a team player, training versus being in combat, transitioning to motherhood, and so much more.Topics Include: - Handling loss and setbacks- Framing cognitive diversity as a strength- Incremental learning- Overcoming imposter syndrome- Followership skills- How compartmentalizing can benefit high-achievers- Building a sense of camaraderie - Mandy's experience with training for the Royal Air Force- Finding purpose through giving back- And other topics...Mandy Hickson is a former Royal Air Force pilot. She was the only female pilot on her Front Line Tornado Squadron, flying multi-million dollar fast jets. Mandy has also operated in hostile environments, including patrolling the ‘No Fly' zone over Iraq. Mandy has been the keynote speaker at hundreds of events and is an inspiration to women in the UK and beyond. As a trained Human Factors facilitator with the Civil Aviation Authority, Mandy uses her in-depth knowledge of aviation, calculated risk-taking, and decision-making under pressure to deliver tactical lessons from the cockpit to the boardroom.

An aviation expert says the Civil Aviation Authority has been oversimplifying the rules around drone safely in its advertising - and it's fuelling a public backlash against drone operators. Dr Isaac Henderson is a lecturer at Massey University's aviation school and chair of UAVNZ, and is concerned at recent CAA advertising which states there are "no-fly zones" for drones. He says such terminology is misleading, and that when certain requirements are met, drones can be operated, but he says such blanket messaging ends up with the public reporting legitimate drone operators to police - and in some cases leading to threats against them. Kathryn also speaks to Colin Aitchison, operations manager for GCH UAV, a company offering aerial photography and asset inspection using drones. He says threats toward commercial operators like himself have become extremely common.

Brazilian police say a suspect has confessed to burying the bodies of missing British journalist Dom Phillips and indigenous expert Bruno Pereira, who disappeared in a remote part of the Amazon rainforest on 5 June. Mr Phillips' wife said in a statement that 'today begins our quest for justice'. Andrew Downie remembers his friend. Britain's Civil Aviation Authority has warned that the service wheelchair users get at airports has worsened: one man was recently left on a plane for two hours after everyone else had got off, and ended up calling the police for help - stories which are horribly familiar to Tom Shakespeare. His work has required him to fly around the globe, and it has certainly not been easy. The reasons the Kremlin has given to justify Russia's attack on Ukraine are many, varied, and sometimes contradictory. What they all have in common is that few people outside the country believe them. Anastasia Koro says that lying has become so common in Russia, that even the most ordinary interactions now have the shadow of mendacity hanging over them. Crowds have now returned to sports stadiums in Japan, but Covid safety measures remain in place. This means that fans are required to keep their mouths shut, for fear that cheers and yelling might spread the coronavirus. So, it was a strange atmosphere that greeted Hannah Kilcoyne, as she turned up to see her first ever Japanese baseball game. James Joyce's epic novel, Ulysses, has not always been well received: a 'colossal muck heap' said one critic, while another described it as 'an unspeakable heap of printed filth.' It is now a hundred years since Ulysses was published, and today the novel is regarded as a masterpiece, albeit a tough read. Chris Page says that its increasing popularity in Ireland reflects the country's changing social attitudes.

*) Russian forces face stiff resistance in Ukraine's Donbass A Moscow-backed separatist leader has said that Russian forces had not advanced as rapidly as they had hoped in the battle for Sievierodonetsk. Russia has been seeking to seize the entire Donbass region, consisting of Luhansk and Donetsk, which Moscow claims on behalf of separatist proxies. Capturing the easternmost city of Sievierodonetsk would give Moscow effective control of Luhansk and allow the Kremlin to declare some form of victory after more than three months of the conflict. *) EU agrees ban on 'more than 2/3' of Russian oil imports European Union leaders have reached a compromise to impose a partial oil embargo on Russia at a summit focused on helping Ukraine with a delayed package of sanctions that was blocked by Hungary. The watered-down embargo covers only Russian oil brought in by sea, allowing a temporary exemption for imports delivered by pipeline. EU Council President Charles Michel said on Twitter the agreement covers more than two-thirds of oil imports from Russia, "cutting a huge source of financing for its war machine…” *) Nepal recovers all bodies from site of plane crash Civil aviation authorities in Nepal have said they recovered the last body from the wreckage site of a small passenger plane carrying 22 people that went missing over the weekend. "We have found the last missing body," Deo Chandra Lal, a spokesperson for Nepal's Civil Aviation Authority said. Lal also said preliminary investigations have found that the cause of the crash could be "adverse weather conditions." *) Biden to meet Fed chair as inflation bites pocketbooks President Joe Biden is set to meet with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell as soaring inflation takes a bite out of Americans' pocketbooks. The meeting will be the first since Biden renominated Powell to lead the central bank and comes weeks after his confirmation for a second term by the Senate. The White House said the pair would discuss the state of the US and global economy and especially inflation, described as Biden's “top economic priority." And, finally… *) 3,400-year-old city discovered in northern Iraq Archaeologists have uncovered an ancient city dating back to the Mittani Empire around 3,400 years ago in the Tigris River in Duhok province, Iraq. Bekes Birifkani, director of historical artifacts and culture in the province explained that the area was inhabited until 1985, before the Mosul Dam was built in 1990, leaving the area submerged under water. Noting that more than 2,000 historical sites have been discovered in the city so far, Birifkani said this year's excavations also yielded important results.

*) Russia damaged 1997 Founding Act by attacking Ukraine – NATO NATO is no longer bound by past commitments to hold back from deploying its forces in eastern Europe, the US-led alliance's deputy secretary general has said. Moscow itself has "voided of any content" the NATO-Russia Founding Act, by attacking Ukraine and halting dialogue with the alliance, Mircea Geoana said. "Now we have no restrictions to have robust posture in the eastern flank and to ensure that every square inch of NATO's territory is protected by Article 5 and our allies,” Geoana said. *) European Union leaders to reiterate support for Ukraine European Union leaders will meet to reiterate support for Ukraine as Russian forces intensified attacks to capture Sievierodonetsk, a key city in the Donbass region that Moscow has prioritised taking full control over. Incessant shelling has left Ukrainian forces defending ruins in the city, but their refusal to withdraw is stalling a massive Russian offensive across the Donbass. "Some 90 percent of buildings are damaged. More than two-thirds of the city's housing stock has been completely destroyed. There is no telecommunication," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a televised speech. *) 14 bodies retrieved from Nepal plane crash site: aviation authority Fourteen bodies have been recovered so far from the wreckage of a plane that crashed into a mountainside in Nepal with 22 people on board, the country's Civil Aviation Authority has said. "...Search continues for the remaining. The weather is very bad but we were able to take a team to the crash site…." the Authortity's spokesperson told reporters. *) China looks for security pact in Pacific Island summit Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi holds talks with leaders and top officials from ten Pacific Island nations, stirring deep Western concern. The virtual summit is expected to discuss proposals for China to increase its involvement in the security, economy and politics of the South Pacific. Wang is in the Fijian capital Suva, where he will co-host a virtual meeting with regional foreign ministers. And, finally... *) Thousands celebrate Real Madrid's Champions League win in Spain About 400,000 Real Madrid fans flocked to the Spanish capital to join the players for a celebration of their record-extending 14th European Cup triumph. Traffic restrictions had been in place all over Madrid since the weekend as supporters started celebrations for the team's fifth Champions League crown in nine years. The winning team paid their traditional visit to the Almudena Cathedral to offer the trophy to the Virgin of Almudena, patroness of Madrid.
