United Airlines and JetBlue have announced a new domestic partnership called “Blue Sky,” enabling customers to earn and redeem frequent-flyer miles across both carriers and access shared loyalty benefits. Tripadvisor CEO Matt Goldberg suggested that Viator might partner with the relaunched Airbnb Experiences, though the fit with Airbnb's curated approach is uncertain. Meanwhile, IATA's Willie Walsh highlighted how airlines are adapting to increasingly restricted global airspace due to geopolitical tensions like those between India and Pakistan and the ongoing closure of Russian airspace.

Could the late, sadly missed Bishop Emeritus of Killaloe, Willie Walsh become a saint? That's certainly the hope for Flan Garvey. Bishop Willie passed away in late February, at the age of 90. If Flan, an author from Inagh, who is also a former Fianna Fáil member of Clare County Council, has anything to do with it, we could be talking about Saint Willie Walsh at some stage in the future. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Inagh author & Former Fianna Fáil member of Clare County Council, Flan Garvey. Photo (C): Clare FM

The late Bishop Emeritus Willie Walsh has been remembered as a man with a great capacity for friendship and a voice for those on the margins of life. The former Bishop of Killaloe, Teacher at St.Flannan's College and incumbent President of Clare GAA has passed away peacefully at the age of 90. Bishop Walsh coached St. Flannan's College to five Harty and Croke Cups, before guiding his adopted Eire Óg to county championship glory in 1990. His love of gaelic games never faded and as recently as Saturday he was in attendance in Gort to see his beloved St. Flannan's College compete in the All-Ireland Quarter-Final. A man of many talents, the incumbent President of Clare GAA, was also teacher of Maths, Science, Physics and Religion at St.Flannan's for 25 years. Former student and Clare GAA Chair, Kieran Keating says he will be fondly missed by all who knew him.
In conversation with Willie Walsh, Director General of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), he explores the most pressing issues facing the aviation industry today. The conversation looks at the industry's ambitious commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, with a focus on the challenges and opportunities that stakeholders face. Mr Walsh also discusses topics such as increased pressure on airport capacity, regulatory challenges that aviation companies face, as well as the broader aviation supply chain and current EU and international aviation policies. This conversation aims to provide a comprehensive look at the future of aviation, with insights into how international and European institutions interact to ensure the aviation industry can operate safely and efficiently. About the Speaker: Willie Walsh became the eighth person to lead the International Air Transport Association (IATA) when he took on the role of Director General in April 2021. Mr Walsh began as a cadet pilot with Aer Lingus in 1979 and rose to the position of Chief Executive at the airline in 2001. In 2005, he was appointed Chief Executive of British Airways (BA), leading them through the 2008/09 global financial crisis, he also established a transatlantic joint business venture with Iberia, Finnair, and American Airlines, and oversaw the 2011 merger of BA and Iberia under a newly established parent company, International Airlines Group (IAG). He was the Chief Executive of IAG from its inception until September 2020. Mr Walsh served on the IATA Board of Governors between 2005 to 2018, including serving as Chair from 2016 to 2017.
The cost of your next flight is likely to go up. That's the word from the International Air Transport Association, which held its annual meeting in Dubai, home to the long-haul carrier Emirates. While carriers recover from the grounding worldwide from the coronavirus pandemic, industry leaders told journalists that there are several costs likely to push those ticket prices ever higher. Part of that comes from worldwide inflation, an ongoing problem since the pandemic started. Jet fuel costs, roughly a third of all airline expenses, remain high. Meanwhile, a global push for the aviation industry to decarbonize has more carriers fighting for the little amount of so-called sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF, available in the market. "The airlines will continue to do everything they can to keep costs in control as much as possible for the benefit of consumers," said Willie Walsh, the director-general of the International Air Transport Association, an industry trade group. "But I think it's unrealistic to expect that airlines can continue to absorb all of the costs. ... It's not something we like to do, but it's something we have to do." Also pressuring the industry is a pandemic hangover in aircraft production as well, they say. Carriers now keep older planes that burn more fuel flying longer. There also aren't enough new aircraft to expand routes and increase supply to bring down overall prices. That warning comes as the IATA estimates globally, airline revenue will reach nearly $1 trillion in 2024, a record high. There will be 4.96 billion travelers on airplanes this year, with total expenses for carriers reaching $936 billion—another record high. But industry profits also are expected to be nearly $60 billion this year. In particular, Emirates, a main driver for Dubai's economy, saw record profits of $4.7 billion in 2023 off revenues of $33 billion. The Emirates' results track with those for its base, Dubai International Airport. The world's busiest airport for international travelers had 86.9 million passengers last year, surpassing numbers for 2019 just before the coronavirus pandemic grounded global aviation. This article was provided by The Associated Press.
Willie Walsh, Director General of the International Air Transport Association, outlines the wider ramifications for the aviation industry should Aer Lingus pilots strike this week.

El 25 de enero de 2022 Willie Walsh, Director General de IATA, realizó una conferencia de prensa en la cual brindó datos de cómo cerró el 2021 para la industria aerocomercial a nivel global, y las perspectivas para el 2022.
Encore une année pleine de turbulences pour le secteur du transport aérien. La pandémie de Covid-19 n'a cessé de brider la reprise des voyages en 2021. Et le dernier coup de boutoir est survenu en fin d'année avec le variant Omicron, qui a incité les États à maintenir les restrictions. Conséquence : le trafic aérien n'a toujours pas retrouvé ses niveaux d'avant la crise sanitaire et la volatilité devrait continuer de peser sur le secteur en début d'année 2022. Dès son apparition à la fin du mois de novembre 2021, le variant Omicron a presque instantanément entraîné la fermeture des frontières et la mise en place de restrictions sanitaires par les gouvernements. Dans les trois semaines suivantes, le trafic des passagers dans les aéroports européens a chuté de 20%. Si une légère hausse des réservations a été ressentie pour les derniers jours de l'année 2021, on est très loin de la reprise espérée pour cette saison cruciale pour le secteur. Rien à faire, en Europe, cette année, on restera à des niveaux 60% inférieurs à ceux d'avant la pandémie. Pour des marchés clé, à commencer par l'Asie, la reprise a tout du mirage. Le trafic n'a pas retrouvé du tout son niveau d'avant la crise. Ce d'autant moins qu'en Chine, on applique la politique dite du «zéro Covid», l'application de mesures strictes et immédiates pour réduire à néant la circulation des cas. ► À lire aussi : Covid-19: le variant Omicron enterre l'espoir d'un retour à la normale du trafic aérien L'Association internationale des compagnies aériennes (IATA) s'émeut d'ailleurs des politiques restrictives des gouvernements. Surtout quand les mesures prises dans l'urgence pour contenir la propagation des cas ne sont pas ciblées et pas coordonnées. C'est en substance la position de l'IATA. Son directeur Willie Walsh a aussi rappelé dernièrement que l'Organisation mondiale de la santé elle-même ne préconisait pas les restrictions de voyage pour limiter l'expansion des variants. L'industrie, après avoir repris espoir cet été, se préparant à une reprise, vise désormais l'été prochain pour une éventuelle embellie. Vu l'ampleur de la contamination par le variant Omicron, ce climat va continuer à s'imposer en 2022. De quoi voir l'avenir en gris pour l'industrie. Au total, d'après les derniers chiffres fournis par l'IATA, les pertes en 2021 devraient atteindre les 190 milliards de dollars pour le secteur. Même les compagnies aériennes low-cost qu'on présentait comme les gagnantes potentielles de la crise prévoient des pertes annuelles plus grandes, à l'image de Ryanair. Les pertes pourraient être nettement moindre en 2022 mais la carte du trafic reste rouge pour l'association des transporteurs. Si les pertes s'accumulent pour les compagnies aériennes, il n'y a pas eu non plus de vagues de faillites cette année Les transporteurs ont pu compter sur le soutien de leurs États respectifs. Air-France-KLM par exemple a bénéficié de 4 milliards d'euros de prêts garantis par l'État français que la compagnie a commencé à rembourser. Lufthansa elle a déjà totalement remboursé la somme que lui a prêté l'État allemand. Du côté de l'Italie, on a certes enterré cette année Alitalia, après 74 ans d'activité, mais pour la remplacer par ITA à coup de prise de contrôle étatique. Et si le secteur s'en est sorti globalement, c'est aussi que les transports ne se sont pas arrêtés malgré les restrictions de voyage. Le fret, le transport de marchandises, a été la bouée de sauvetage de l'aérien. Le chiffre d'affaires du fret par avion s'est élevé à 175 milliards de dollars cette année. Et à l'heure où les achats en ligne sont devenus une tendance de fond, le fret aérien a de beaux jours devant lui. On estime que la flotte d'avion-cargo devrait augmenter de 60% d'ici à 2039. Et pour les produire, il faut des constructeurs. Dans la lutte entre les deux titans Boeing et Airbus, c'est définitivement le géant européen qui s'impose. Le dernier round a eu lieu mi-décembre. Airbus a ravi des clients de longue date de Boeing : l'australien Qantas et Air France-KLM qui ont annoncé passé commande à elles-deux de 300 avions Airbus, des monocouloirs, un segment de marché stratégique. Plus tôt, c'était Singapore Airlines qui annonçait vouloir remplacer ses Boeing par des Airbus. Le constructeur américain peine encore à retrouver pleinement la confiance de ses clients, notamment ceux de la famille 737, affectée notamment par les problèmes de sécurité.

Adam Maguire speaks to Willie Walsh, CEO of the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
As CNS gets underway this weekend in Florida, (August 29-31) featuring Willie Walsh, Director General of IATA, on his first public mission with gravitas after his appointment, I would gladly ask him questions regarding the IATA approach. Starting with Air Cargo, is One Record the totem for which IATA decided to ditch its IATA FIATA program? Was the entire IATA FIATA negotiation just a straddle strategy? Time to celebrate 30 years of the CNS Partnership recalling the people that made the "Partnership" go Meet Francesco Parisi Up Close & Personal When Parisi went into business in 1807 Napoleon was alive and signed a peace treaty with Russia; Ludwig von Beethoven debuted his Symphony Number 4 and Robert Fulton launched his first steamboat on the Hudson River in New York. Today in 2019, the quiet and unassuming Francesco Parisi (third generation) is a constant force for good as former President of FIATA and active builder of global transportation. Sad to report our colleague Steve Prince of Woodstock, Georgia died of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis on Friday August 20, 2021. He was 72 years of age. Steve had served as publisher of Air Cargo World since 1991 and later he spent many years serving with the Board of TIACA promoting and bettering the cause of the air cargo industry. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/geoffrey-arend/support

How I Got Here - Inside stories from innovation and startups in travel
Alex Cruz admits that his career has been centered around people "betting on me" as a leader of businesses.During the course of over 30 years, Cruz worked for American Airlines and Sabre in the 1990s before a brief stint in the world of management consultancy at Accenture.But it was the lure of creating a brand new airline in the guise of low-cost carrier Clickair in 2006 that brought it back to aviation.It was this frenetic period running what was essentially a startup that raised his profile to the extent that he came CEO of fellow Spanish airline Vueling when the pair merged in July 2009.By April 2016 he was chairman and CEO of British Airways, the flagship brand in the International Airlines Group portfolio that included Vueling and Iberia.The next five or so years were marked with the introduction of some major strategic developments but also industrial disputes with staff unions and the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020.Cruz left his role as CEO and chairman in October last and remained as chairman of the board until March 2021.He joins us as the latest guest on How I Got Here.HIGH is a weekly show produced by PhocusWire and Mozio, aimed at getting the inside stories behind startups and innovation in travel and transportation.It's hosted by our editor in chief, Kevin May, and Mozio co-founder and CEO David Litwak.

The first episode the year kicks off with Vinay, Enrique, and Rohan chatting about the retirement of two of the world's most iconic and influential airline CEOs, Tim Clark from Emirates and Willie Walsh from IAG.

What will happen to Emirates and IAG? Who are the right successors to Clark and Walsh? Is the future as bright as Clark and Walsh hope it to be? Our team analyzes.
