#DragonAviationCapital Czech Airlines Technics (CSAT), a subsidiary of Prague Airport, has achieved financial success for the first time since 2019. This positive outcome is attributed to the gradual restoration of operations across all sectors, increased service volume and optimal utilisation of available capacity. The EBITDA operating profit saw a year-on-year increase of 45 million crowns to 64 million, while the company reported a net profit of 41 million crowns, marking its first profit since the COVID-19 pandemic. Petr Doberský, Chairman of the Czech Airlines Technics Board of Directors, expressed satisfaction with the company’s performance. “I am pleased that after three challenging years, we managed to stabilise the company’s economic performance and returned it in the black. Last year, we managed to complete 76 base maintenance job orders for our long-term clients and leasing companies, and we also made full use of our capacity of the landing gear overhauls unit. I believe that the positive trend will continue this year thanks to long-term agreements with our important partners. We expect further performance improvement to be propelled by the continued recruitment of aircraft mechanics and increasing sales volume of the Components and Spares division.” Dragon Aviation Capital (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. #aviation #airlines #aerospace #singapore https://lnkd.in/gMyMtWcK

Clouds like this, make me humble. Clouds like this, make me alert after the recent events with Austrian Airlines and the damage clouds like this caused to an Airbus A320, left me thinking what it would cause to my, much smaller Diamond family that I fly frequently. This specific aircraft, I have been recently flying on, has a multitude of weather services on board. I have WX radar, stormscope, iridium weather connex. So, flying in the last couple days, I have revisited all the knowledge and experiences I ever had with icing, turbulence, hail, and avoidance techniques. But what most people don’t know, because it’s not necessarily a part of my keynote, is how I once had a near death experience on a ferry flight from Austria to Japan. As in aviation, it was multitudes of reason that led to this disastrous event for me. I entered night flight, though usually we only fly during day light hours, which makes sense since, being a single pilot on a long distance ferry will challenge you in many ways: fatigue being one of them. In this special occasion I was facing a CB super cell along the ITCZ that even much bigger airliners were avoiding by many miles. I didn’t have the luxury ( meaning fuel) to do such an extensive avoidance manover, nor could I have climbed above it. #weflydiamindaiecraft #pilotlife #ferrypilot

Would you like to learn how we can attract, retain, and develop more female representation in the aviation industry? In LOT Aircraft Maintenance Services, we are constantly striving to create a more inclusive and diverse workplace. Here are some of our current statistics: ✈️ Currently, 217 women account for about 13 percent of all LOTAMS employees. ✈️ In LOTAMS, the proportion of women in technical positions is about 3.3 percent. ✈️ Our HR department confirms that women's interest in working in the industry is high. But… women are still under-represented in the aviation industry. Do you think it’s because pay gap, awareness of the career, barriers connected with motherhood, public perception or social stigma? Share your thoughts. During MRO BEER 2024, I am excited to participate in the panel titled "Bridging the Gender Gap: How to Attract, Retain & Grow a Diverse Workforce" organized by Aviation Week. We will discuss – among other topics – how we are actively working to bridge the #gendergap, our initiatives for increasing #diversity, where to find role models, and what we can learn from them. It is an honor to be part of such a significant dialogue aimed at promoting inclusivity and fostering positive change. We invite you to listen to our panel and actively participate in the debate. Your insights and contributions are invaluable in our collective effort to drive positive change. Join me and other industry experts in this crucial discussion, including: Barbara Kaśnikowska (General Manager at WAMS-Ryanair), Liga Slenge (Chief of People and Culture at SmartLynx Airlines), Mirjana Tratnjek Ceh (Chief Commercial Officer at Avia Prime Group) and moderator Lee Ann Shay (Executive Editor, Business Aviation and MRO Aviation Week Network). I would like to take this opportunity to thank the conference producer – Georgia Halliday – for the invitation. 📅 Date: Wednesday, 26 June 🕛 Time: 12:30 - 13:00 📍 Location: Radisson Blu Hotel Lietuva, Vilnius, Conference Room You can’t miss it – come and make your voice heard! #MROBEER #AviationWeek #LOTAMS #Aviation #SKYISNOLIMIT #AircraftMaintenance #CultureDiversity #DiversityAndInclusion #GenderEquality

The Paraguayan airline is suffering from delays and cancellations, and Paranair also blames the aviation authority for this. 11/11/24 - 5:02 | Stefan Eiselin 0 comments Paranair aircraft: The fleet is to be strengthened. Paranair passengers are pretty annoyed at the moment. In recent days, the Paraguayan airline has repeatedly experienced delays lasting hours and flight cancellations. These were often explained as "technical problems". This also prompted the national aviation authority Dinac to take action. It has met with the airline to discuss the situation. Paranair has promised that it has already signed contracts for two new aircraft to alleviate the problems. The delays are partly due to strikes in Argentina and a lack of coordination with the authorities, said the airline, which was created from the former Amaszonas Paraguay. Anzeige High losses caused Although the aircraft had undergone the required inspections and passengers were already on board, Dinac refused to grant takeoff permission, it said. This caused losses of around $50,000. Paranair was founded in 2015. Its fleet consists of four Bombardier CRJ 100 and 200. It serves 18 destinations in seven countries.

At the German aviation industry event last week in #Berlin, Federal Minister of Transport Dr. Volker Wissing showed courage by admitting political mistakes at BDL – German Aviation Association "Evening of Aviation", in front of 800 key stakeholders, committing to making amends in support of the #airlines. Air traffic in #Germany is suffering from "long Covid" and is lagging dangerously far behind the competition. International Air Transport Association (IATA) has consistently pointed out excessive government costs and fees for years. More and more airlines are cutting back their services and #connectivity has shrunk, damaging both the German economy and society. Aviation needs swift and courageous political action – in other words, less fees and no air traffic tax, following #Sweden’s example. Dr. Joachim Lang Jens Bischof Peter Gerber Mathias Jakobi
