June 2014 European Court: "EU Carriers No longer Need Permission to Operate Flights between Germany and Third Countries" In 2011, Austria-based International Jet Management was fined for operating charter flights from Russia and Turkey to Germany without having the authorization required by German legislation to enter German airspace. The operator was denied authorization because IJM was not able to produce a ‘non-availability declaration’, which was a declaration that no German airline was willing or able to operate the flights concerned under similar conditions. On March 18th, 2014 the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that the authorisation requirements (that didn’t apply to German undertakings) for operating flights between Germany and third countries were meant to protect the national economy, and did not entirely recognize an operating license granted on the basis of EU law by another Member State. As a result, air carriers that are holding an operating license following EC Regulation 1008/2008, do no longer need to apply for an entry permission to air services between Germany and third countries. This ECJ ruling bans discriminating measures and is therefore an important step towards a more free and ...
Trends in Aircraft Leasing and Financing, since Le Bourget 2013 Taking a look into the insight of the approaching Farnborough Air Show, to be held this July, it is good to have an insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the aviati on market, and to forecast where funds may be generated. In hope that new investors will come to fruition, and in turn airlines and those alike will continue to exploit financial issues from various directions. This decade is truly crammed with production and deliveries of the most modern aircraft types such as the Airbus A320neo family and the Boeing 737 MAX. Meanwhile, the question arises to whether the trend of developing new technologies to combat rising fuel costs will hinder the secondary market and hold back lease rates. Since Le Bourget Air Show 2013, aviation finance provision continues in the wakening of an increase in the number of orders. In this respect, the next generation single-aisle and twin-aisle aircraft is playing a key role. More than 1,100 orders and commitments were made since last year’s Paris Air Show. One of the driving forces of this order wave is believed to be ...
The European and American Roadmaps on RPAS, a Review. In June 2013, the European RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems) roadmap was presented with its recommendations for the European Commission, upon which the latter will present specific proposals towards implementation with integration of civil RPAS into civilian airspace from 2016 onwards. In November 2013, the Federal Aviation Administration issued plans for integrating Unmanned Aircrafts Systems (UAS) into the National Airspace System (USA). This plan is in our view not as accurate as the European one. ICAO did in the past refused to work on RPAS, but is now working on a RPAS guidance manual. The European RPAS Roadmap was presented by the European RPAS Steering Group on June 20th 2013. It covers the development and integration into non-segregated airspace of civil RPAS in the next 15 years. The roadmap is articulated in three pillars: research and development; safety regulation and technical standardization; and complementary measures including privacy and data protection, insurance and liability. Based on the Roadmap and the recommendations it contains, the European Commission is due to present specific proposals towards implementation with integration ...
