Power banks have become an essential travel companion, but starting April 1, Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Scoot will ban their use and charging in-flight, citing safety concerns. This decision follows a series of incidents involving overheating lithium batteries, including a Scoot flight fire in Taiwan and a Batik Air cabin smoke incident. With airlines like Thai Airways, AirAsia, and South Korean carriers implementing similar restrictions, this raises pressing questions. On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Associate Professor Palani Balaya, Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Design and Engineering, NUS, to help understand the risks associated with power banks, the reasoning behind this ban, and what it means for air travel moving forward.

Nepalin pääkaupunki Kathmandussa sijaitseva Tribhuvanin kansainvälinen lentoasema tunnetaan haastavana laskeutumispaikkana. Se lepää Himalajan vuorilaaksossa korkeiden vuorten ympäröimänä, ja alueen sääolosuhteet ovat ailahtelevia erityisesti kesäisin. Kun Thai Airways Internationalin lento 311 oli lähestymässä kenttää heinäkuussa 1992, lennonjohto menetti siihen äkisti yhteyden. Kone ei koskaan saapunut määränpäähänsä. Etsintöjä vaikeutti se, ettei lentoasemalla ollut tutkaa vielä 90-luvun alussa – ja se, että johtolangat saattoivat etsijät aluksi aivan väärään suuntaan… Sähköposti: hiljaisiahuutoja@gmail.com Instagram & Threads: hiljaisiahuutoja Facebook: Hiljaisia huutoja Musiikki: https://soundcloud.com/santer1 (yhteys: santericorp@gmail.com) Jakson lähdeluettelo: https://tinyurl.com/48lahteet

Nearly 60,000 people – that's the number of trade visitors who attended the first four days of the Singapore Airshow 2024.   The number of attendees also dwarfs the previous record set six years ago, by about 10 per cent. That was when the last full scale show was held, before the biennial event was scaled down in 2020 and 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  While the exact number of deals made and the value of them were not disclosed, multiple deals were made at the event.  China's Comac sealed an order of 50 planes from Tibet Airlines. While APAC carriers such as Thai Airways, Vietjet and Taiwan's Starlux bought 77 planes from major aircraft manufacturers Airbus and Boeing.  So what does this suggest about the recovery of Singapore's MICE industry post-pandemic, and how are MICE operators positioning themselves for future growth as economic activities come back to life?  Well, we're going to pose the questions to the organiser of Singapore Airshow 2024, Experia Events.  Incorporated in 2005, Experia specialises in conceptualising and curating trade events of strategic interest that spur industry developments, and also manages the Changi Exhibition Centre. On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Leck Chet Lam, Managing Director, Experia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ask Skift Is the AI Chatbot for the Travel Industry Ask Skift Your Questions Episode Notes Choice Hotels views its recent acquisition of Radisson Americas as an enormous success and it's strongly considering making more deals, reports Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill. Choice CEO Patrick Pacious touted the benefits of the acquisition during Choice's second quarter earnings call on Tuesday. As for future acquisition activity, Pacious said Choice is always looking for deals that could boost the return on investment for hotel owners and grow brands. He added that Choice sees opportunities to expand its portfolio outside of the United States.   Choice reported that its revenue per available room — an important hotel industry metric — increased 20% from the same period in 2019. The company also set a quarterly record for revenue.  Next, the Chinese government is limiting overseas group travel for its citizens to certain destinations. Those restrictions are stunting the global travel industry's recovery, writes Travel Experiences Reporter Selene Brophy.  Chinese travelers can only take group tours to less than half of the countries that were available to them pre-Covid. Brophy reports the U.S. is not on that list as Chinese travel agencies aren't permitted to sell any group tour products to the U.S. Sienna Parulis-Cook, an executive at China-based marketing company Dragon Trail International, said Chinese outbound tourism to the U.S. is also limited in part because of visa delays. Chinese travel agents surveyed said visa delays were the biggest obstacle in selling outbound tourism in 2024.  Chinese outbound travel hit 65% of 2019 level during the country's most recent national holiday period.  Finally, Turkish Airlines and Thai Airways have unveiled a plan to form a joint venturecovering flights between Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, reports Jay Shabat, senior analyst at Skift publication Airline Weekly.  The two carriers already have a codeshare arrangement, which enables them to market each other's flights. But Shabat notes joint ventures go deeper, often involving revenue sharing, collaborating pricing and cargo cooperation among other practices. Turkish and Thai haven't yet detailed their exact plans, other than announcing that Thai will start serving Istanbul in December.

Passageiros ainda esperam reembolso de voos cancelados na pandemia

A súbita crise da aviação gerada pela Covid-19 em 2020 levou muitas companhias aéreas à beira da falência, mas três anos depois, o setor começa a reencontrar na Europa os números positivos de antes do surgimento do coronavírus. Mesmo assim, milhares de passageiros continuam a esperar pelo reembolso de passagens ou indenizações pelos voos cancelados no período crítico da pandemia.  Na França, muitos clientes só têm conseguido reaver o dinheiro perdido depois de recorrerem à Justiça. Viagens de férias programadas em destinos distantes, como na Ásia, geraram prejuízos de milhares de euros que até hoje não puderem ser recuperados – principalmente quando envolvem companhias menores que já estavam em dificuldades financeiras antes da Covid-19, como a italiana Alitalia – hoje ITA – ou a portuguesa TAP. Apenas nos primeiros seis meses de pandemia, estima-se que 35 bilhões de passagens tiveram de ser reembolsadas, afirma o consultor em aviação Gérald Feldzer, presidente da organização Aviation Sans Frontières. As companhias perderam tanto dinheiro que, para muitas, ainda é uma questão de sobrevivência. As empresas alegam que poderiam simplesmente desaparecer e, se fosse o caso, todos sairiam perdedores. Portanto, há um equilíbrio a ser encontrado para que os passageiros sejam reembolsados sem que as companhias corram maiores riscos. "A aviação hoje está muito melhor, voltando a registrar os números de 2019. Mas os caixas continuam vazios e, com os lucros registrados por algumas, como a Air France-KLM, elas precisam comprar novos aviões", explica Feldzer. A advogada Joyce Pitcher representou milhares de passageiros na Justiça francesa. "Nós tratamos mais de 7 mil casos porque durante um longo período, as companhias aéreas se recusavam a reembolsar ou levavam muito tempo para reembolsar", diz ela. "Hoje, esse problema começa a ser resolvido, e os pedidos de assistência jurídica diminuíram", nota a advogada. "Algumas companhias continuam resistindo a aplicar as decisões que foram tomadas contra elas, como a Thai Airways, mas os casos estão mais isolados", afirma Pitcher. Indenização por atraso ou cancelamentoA advogada ressalta que antes mesmo da pandemia, os processos já eram lentos. A legislação europeia define que atrasos de mais de três horas ou cancelamentos de voos deveriam resultar em indenizações de até € 600, mas os atrasos na reparação dos danos estão ainda maiores do que antes. "Vemos que é um problema crescente e que as agências de viagens também estão constatando, ao receberem cada vez mais reclamações dos seus clientes", diz Pitcher. Ela explica, entretanto, que os recentes cancelamentos relacionados às greves frequentes na França, contra a reforma da Previdência, são protegidos ao serem considerados como “circunstâncias extraordinárias” – e não geram, portanto, direito a compensação financeira para o passageiro. Exigências ambientais requerem investimentoGérald Feldzer observa ainda que a reserva de caixa que as grandes companhias têm conseguido acumular, graças à forte retomada do fluxo aéreo desde meados de 2021, está sendo direcionada para responder às exigências ambientais europeias, a fim de cortar as emissões de gases de efeito estufa do setor, um dos mais poluentes. "Elas precisam ter orçamento para poder continuar investindo, mesmo se ainda não atingiram os lucros que tinham em 2019, o ano de referência. Para elas se tornarem exemplares do ponto de vista ambiental, precisam tornar toda a cadeia da aviação bem mais limpa, num contexto em que o tráfego aéreo mundial só aumenta", explica o especialista. Até agora, os progressos tecnológicos não compensam esse aumento do fluxo. Existem soluções, mas elas custam caro. O consultor cita as soluções de aviões híbridos querosene-elétricos, que podem ser utilizados para curtas e médias distâncias, e o uso de querosene sintetizado – mistura de CO2 estocado com hidrogênio verde –, mas que custa de duas a três vezes mais que o combustível tradicional.

Myths of Branding: Dispel the Misconceptions and Become a Brand Expert by Andy Milligan and Simon Bailey About the Book: A brand is just a logo - everyone knows that, don't they? After all, it's not as though a good brand can save a bad business, and besides, the digital revolution is making branding irrelevant... Myths of Branding, written by renowned branding experts Andy Milligan and Simon Bailey, explores the huge number of misguided, mistaken, and blatantly false myths that abound in the branding arena. From the belief that developing brands is nothing more than fiddling with logos to the perception that it's a 'soft' area of marketing that doesn't go beyond visual identity and that the customer is always right - these myths are all surprisingly entrenched, yet could not be further from the truth. Myths of Branding uses up-to-date case studies and witty examples to debunk these popular misconceptions and replaces them with the reality of what it's really like to work in the world of branding. Jam-packed with entertaining anecdotes and useful information that practitioners can learn from, it guarantees a deeper, sharper understanding of the realities of branding and brand management. About the Author: Andy Milligan is a leading international brand and business consultant and is acknowledged as an expert in all areas of brand development. He advises CEOs and senior management teams, on strategies for developing and exploiting brands and growing their business. Andy's experience spans industries as diverse as airlines, financial services, packaged goods, telecommunications, sports and leisure, and pharmaceuticals.  He has directed significant programs in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, the USA, and Europe. Clients he has worked with include Nissan, World Wildlife Fund, McLaren, Barclays, Unilever, Thai Airways, and FIFA. Andy is a regular speaker at conferences internationally and has made frequent appearances in the media, including on BBC, Sky, and CNN.  He has published six other best-selling books: See, Feel, Think Do, which explores the success of instinct in business; Brand It Like Beckham which analyses the success of David Beckham as a celebrity brand; Uncommon Practice which examines the link between great brands and their corporate cultures; Don't Mess With the Logo which is a straight-talking guide to brand building and BOLD, voted ‘Management e-book of the Year', which reveals the practices that make great brands stand out, and turn customers into fans.  Andy's last book, On Purpose, is a practical guide to executing business purpose successfully by delivering a branded customer experience people love. And, interesting fact – after graduating from Oxford, he was trained to be an actor!

It appears that the airline, kept alive by cargo freight income and the protection of the court through the pandemic emergency, has made substantial progress in trimming its previously huge cost base while capturing market share as the country reopened with other international airlines, for now, scrambling after richer pickings while others are not able to compete on routes to Bangkok as before.

Time flies. It's 10 months since we were debating the merits (or otherwise) of the proposed Phuket Sandbox. But that was then - the Phuket Sandbox started on 1 July 2021 - and this is now. A great deal has occurred in Thailand's travel sphere since then. And more changes await up ahead - including the likely removal of a PCR test on arrival. But what is the outlook for Thai tourism in 2022? This week, Gary and Hannah welcome back Bangkok-based travel journalist Vincent Vichit-Vadakan to talk all things travel and tourism in Thailand. Vincent has been travelling domestically in recent weeks and reports back on what he has observed. He also updates us on Thailand's latest arrivals figures and the timeline for easing the Test & Go entry rules. We also discuss the key takeaways from a recent seminar Vincent hosted in Bangkok featuring Thai Airways and the Tourism Authority of Thailand. Plus, we talk mask mandates, Songkran, airport protocols, new hotel openings and Thailand's domestic travel stimulus. And, we look back over a truly dramatic year in South East Asia's most visited country.

We discuss the varying challenges facing flag carriers in South East Asia, including Singapore Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Thai Airways, Garuda Indonesia and Philippine Airlines. Also, how can LCCs manage to survive if an international travel recovery doesn't occur any time soon? Against this backdrop, new airlines are making applications to operate, so could the aviation market in Asia Pacific look very different in the coming years? Plus, we talk about the new EU-ASEAN Air Transport Agreement and compare the 2021 outlook for long-haul and short-haul markets. Finally, we assess whether the Phuket Sandbox - and the phased reopening of Thailand - presents a viable model for other countries to welcome back vaccinated leisure travellers.

Why are we seeing such different results from the two big Korean airlines? Korean Air again overcame systemic challenges to deliver a standout performance in the first quarter. And although the fuel situation certainly helped, the story wasn't only about fuel. If you don't believe us, just ask Korean's chief rival Asiana, who struggled mightily in the same quarter. And although there's no sign of a joint venture happening between Korean Air and Delta, we discuss it anyway, because that's how we are. Terrorism is—for good reason—on the minds of airlines around the world right now. It's wreaking havoc on the balance sheet of Turkey's Pegasus, which is losing a lot of money. But terrorism might be having the opposite effect for Thai Airways, which has made a brilliant return to profitability. We touch on SpiceJet, a comeback story in its own right. And, of course, we talk about what last week's horrible crash means for Egyptair in the longer run.

Not so surprisingly, easyJet wrapped up a strong earnings season in Europe with some strong numbers of its own. We looked at what's working for easyJet but also why it can't quite top rivals Ryanair or Wizz Air. Then it's pretty much all downhill from there. Most airlines can top Air Berlin right now. Thai Airways is struggling with overcapacity and political unrest. Though things have improved significantly, Kenya Airways is still struggling with terrorism, Ebola and the fact that it's tough to be in an emerging market right now. And LATAM and Gol are coping in the face of Brazil's cratering economy. And lastly, desperate to end on a lighter note, we turn to Thanksgiving in America and touch on the realities (and myths!) of holiday air traffic.
