Harmonise region’s rules for flying

When crisis hits the airline industry there are always lessons to be learned. Read More » In the case of the last two years of pandemic horror, smart operators have, as usual, been resilient. They have re-engineered and restructured their businesses. Losses continue and debt levels are at unprecedented heights, but the industry is better prepared for the assault of a next crisis.

And there may be another benefit for the industry from the pandemic. For decades, a thorn in the side of smooth airline operations in the Asia-Pacific has been the failure of the region’s civil aviation authorities to standardize their rules and regulations. For airlines, flying between and across the region’s numerous airspace zones has been a major drain on efficient operations. They are forced to adjust “on the go” as they fly from one country to the next en route to their destinations.

So it was encouraging to learn delegates at the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) 57th Conference of Directors General of Civil Aviation for Asia and Pacific Regions – the first in-person gathering of the body for more than two years – largely agreed it is critical civil aviation bodies increase the co-operation they have developed during the pandemic to simplify the rules of flying across the region.

Held at Incheon in South Korea, “Strengthening Regional Cooperation for the Restoration of Air Network with No Country Left Behind” also was attended by observers from industry bodies such as the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Airports Council International Asia-Pacific.

IATA regional vice president, Asia-Pacific, Philip Goh, was optimistic when summing up the mood of the meeting. “Throughout the conference, the need for cooperation was a strong recurring theme,” he said.

But will such aims lead to more harmonization in the region? Observers said prospects for region-wide standardized operating regulations are better than they have been in a long time. If this is the case, it might also be an optimum opportunity for Asia-Pacific director generals of civil aviation and the region’s transport ministries to establish a regional body to co-ordinate airspace rules and regulations.

It won’t be easy. It would almost certainly have to be structured on a sub-regional basis, such as Southeast Asia and North Asia. But the benefits of reduced fuel consumption alone make such a body worthy of serious consideration.

I applied for a business loan and surgery loan for my daughter’s health early February, condition I was told I would be considered and contacted but never got to hear from any of the lenders. A credit repair agent said I would have to be on a 700+ score to be considered but never told how to get my score up to that in no long time. I had a 539 Score. I bumped into a credit review forum where PENTIUM TECHS was mentioned by many people who claimed he fixed their credit. I contacted the hacker out of curiosity and desperation on his email pentiumtechs@qualityservice.com we got talking and he gave me a week to delete collections and 2 charge offs. He also got my credit up to 765. I got the surgery loan and was contacted as regards the business loans I applied for. All thanks to PENTIUM TECHS

My family and I ended up homeless 2 years ago after I lost my job. I am a disabled combat veteran trying to buy a home. My family and I wanted to purchase a home but my poor credit score ruined every effort made to actualize that goal and it was a nightmare. I decided to look for help online and luckily for me, I ran into PENTIUM TECHS (PENTIUMTECHS@QUALITYSERVICE.COM), they were highly recommended for a quick and permanent credit repair so I hired them immediately. After 6 days, they raised my score to a whooping 791 and deleted all the negative items affecting my report. Thereafter, we got the house and we had a happily ever after kind of family story.

I tried getting a car loan sometime last year but my credit score of about 521 ruined the process. Since I was in desperate need of a car due to the nature of my new job, I resorted to making online research on how I could restore my credit to a minimum of 650 to enable me to qualify, after a few months of searching, I bumped into a blog and found positive reviews about HACK VANISH CREDIT SPECIALIST, So I reached out to them to explain my credit situation, they requested my info and necessary details and were able to get every derogatory item on my report erased and increased my FICO score to 788 within 6 days, I was amazed. They are fast and reliable. Anyone looking for a credit solution below is their contact details: Email: HACKVANISH @ GMAIL. COM Phone No. + 1 ( 7 4 7 ) 2 9 3 -8 5 1 4
