<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Qatar Airways has installed a new navigational technology – Required Navigation Performance – Authorisation Required (RNP AR) approach - in its flights to Kathmandu considering the difficult terrain of Nepal. According to the airline, it is the first airline operating in Nepal to install such a technology which the company claims to be the latest of its kind. Locked in the Himalayan mountain range, Kathmandu has one of the world’s most complicated approaches due to the surrounding challenging terrain.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	“Flying an RNP AR approach into Tribhuvan International Airport reduces the pilots’ workload considerably and allows them to take full benefit of the advanced navigation equipment installed in the aircraft to easily circumnavigate difficult terrain,” reads the press release.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	The technology is believed to have significant safety improvements and reduce the required visibility compared with the current standard flying procedures with a smooth descent and fully stabilised approach. The RNP AR procedure allows aircraft to automatically fly accurate trajectories without relying on ground-based navigation aids. It also optimises airspace utilisation and reduces diversions in difficult weather conditions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said safety was the number one priority for the airline. “We pride ourselves on adopting the latest technology across our fleet and operation to ensure we maintain our high standards, vital for any business of our nature,” he said. According to the company, working closely with key industry associates, Qatar Airways &nbsp;has partnered &nbsp;with the French procedures designer &nbsp;QUOVADIS, an Airbus owned company, and the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) to design and implement the Kathmandu RNP AR procedure.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Director General of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), T.R. Manandhar, said that the RNP AR approach had been introduced to find a solution to the current difficulties of high terrain. He added that CAAN now expected other airlines as well to adopt the new procedure. Qatar Airways currently operates four flights a day between its Doha hub and Kathmandu, one of the carrier’s most popular routes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Qatar Airways has also embarked on its Boeing 787 European expansion with the deployment of the next generation aircraft on three additional routes – Munich, Zurich and Frankfurt. The Doha-based carrier has started flying the Dreamliner on the Munich route four times a week, effective January 14.From February 1, one of the double daily services to Frankfurt are being served by a Boeing 787. February 1 also signals an increase of 787 frequency on the Munich and Zurich routes to daily. All three destinations were previously operated with a mixed Airbus fleet.</p>',

The new service will enhance Dragonair’s presence in the region and provide a significant boost to both leisure and business traffic between Hong Kong and Myanmar, said the airlines.</span> <br />

	<div>
		<span span="" style="font-size:10.0pt;Myriad Pro">Yangon will become the 10th destination to be launched or resumed by Dragonair since April 2012. Rich in history and culture, Yangon is a fascinating city to visit with its hybrid of local, British, Chinese and Indian influences, and it is home to the largest number of original colonial buildings in the region. Most of Myanmar’s commercial activities are centred in Yangon, reinforcing the city’s importance as a business and communications hub. <br />
		<br />
		The press statement read, “The airline will operate the new service with Airbus A321 aircraft, departing Hong Kong every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. As well as connecting passengers from around the world into Myanmar, the latest destination launch will offer passengers from Myanmar greater choice and convenience when connecting to Dragonair’s Mainland China network or the vast international network of its sister airline, Cathay Pacific Airways, through the<br />
		Hong Kong hub.”<br />
		<br />
		Dragonair Chief Executive Officer Patrick Yeung said, “Yangon is an important addition to Dragonair’s expanding network in Asia and launching this new destination will further strengthen Hong Kong’s position as a leading aviation hub. We see tremendous potential in this market with both tourism and commercial activities rapidly gaining momentum. We look forward to carrying more passengers between Hong Kong and Myanmar and helping to promote ties between the two places.”<br />
		<br />
		In addition to the new Yangon service, Dragonair also increased frequencies to a number of destinations in its winter schedule, effective from 28 October. Services to Phnom Penh increased from seven to 10 flights per week, while one extra flight was added to Kota Kinabalu, making a total of six weekly flights to this popular Malaysian holiday destination. Dragonair has also been operating 12 flights per week to Phuket since July, up from the previous 10 weekly flights. In addition,<br />

		<img alt="qatar" border="1" height="255" hspace="10" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/qatar%286%29.jpg" vspace="10" width="426" /><br />
		<br />
		<span style="font-size:14px;">Qatar Airways is set to join Oneworld®, adding one of the world’s fastest growing and most highly rated airlines to the world’s leading quality<br />
		airline alliance. Its election as a Oneworld member designate was announced on October 8 at a press conference in New York – home<br />
		of Oneworld’s central alliance management office – with senior executives of Qatar Airways and the alliance’s established member<br />
		airlines in attendance.<br />
		<br />
		Qatar Airways, named Airline of the Year for the past two years by the Skytrax independent airline quality rating agency, is the first of the three major airlines based in the Gulf to sign for any of the global airline alliances, says the company. The Dohabased airline’s implementation<br />
		into Oneworld is expected to take between 12 and 18 months. The carrier is set to move into a brand new home in 2013 with<br />
		the opening of the New Doha International Airport, designed to strengthen its position as a premium global hub with an<br />
		eventual capacity for 50 million passengers a year.<br />
		<br />
		According to the press statement, as a member of Oneworld, Qatar Airways will fly alongside some of the biggest and best brands in the airline business. “British Airways will serve as its&nbsp; sponsor in joining Oneworld, supported by the central Oneworld alliance team, mentoring the recruit through its alliance implementation programme,” read the statement. Qatar Airways will be Oneworld’s second member airline based in the Middle East, alongside Royal Jordanian, which became the first airline from the region to join any of the global alliances when it boarded Oneworld in 2007. “When<br />
		Qatar Airways becomes part of Oneworld, its customers will gain access to the alliance’s truly global network. The 2.2 million members of its Privilege Club frequent flyer programme will be&nbsp; able to earn and redeem rewards on any of Oneworld’s other carriers, with top tier members able<br />
		to use any of the group’s 550 plus airport lounges, and its network will be covered by Oneworld’s market leading range of alliance fares,” reads the statement. Qatar Airways offered customers in Kathmandu with unbeatable fares to some of the world's best destinations during the festive season of Dashain and Tihar. The offer was valid until 31st October which offered customers the opportunity to travel to a variety of destinations at very<br />
		attractive return and one way fares. According to the airlines, economy class return fare started from Rs 41,300 for London, Rs 47,300 for Paris, Rs 65,300 for Zurich, Rs 47,300 for Frankfurt and Rs 102,000 for New York among other destinations at an attractive fare. Similarly, economy class one way fare started from Rs 23,000 for London, Rs 33,000 for Paris, Rs 44,500 for Zurich, Rs 27,900 for Frankfurt and Rs 61,000 for New York among numerous other destinations.</span> </span><span alt="gulf air" border="1" class="MsoNormal" for="" height="125" hspace="10" list="" name="TOC Heading" span="" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/gulf%281%29.jpg" style="line-height: 115%;" vspace="10" width="257"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span></span></span></div>

	Etihad Airways’ ASKs rose by 25 per cent to 15.2 billion in the second quarter, as the fleet grew to 67 aircraft from its earlier 61. The revenue of Etihad Airways in six months this year has increased by 31 per cent to US$ 1.25 billion from US$ 957 million as compared to last year. The number of passengers has leapt up by 34 per cent to 4.89 million during the six months from 2.55 million in 2011. The increase in overall capacity and improved seat factors has contributed to the increment in the revenue, says the company. <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	The record results were boosted by the airline’s growing network of code-shares and strategic partnerships which together fed 800,000 passengers into Etihad Airways’ network in the last six months, contributing US$ 281 million. James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways said, “These results are an endorsement of our strategy, which has seen us widen and deepen our partnerships in addition to continued focus on our organic growth plan.” <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	Etihad Airways’ available seat kilometres (ASKs) rose by 25 per cent to 15.2 billion in the second quarter, as the fleet grew to 67 aircraft from its earlier 61. Likewise, revenue passenger kilometres (RPKs) rose 33 per cent to 11.8 billion from 8.9 billion. During the period, the Airways took minority equity stakes in Aer Lingus and Virgin Australia, adding to its minority shareholdings in Air Berlin and Air Seychelles. These five airlines together carried 72 million passengers on 376 aircraft in 2011, generating combined revenues of more than US$ 14 billion. <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	Recently, the Airways unveiled plans to launch daily flights to Sao Paolo in Brazil, its first South American destination, which will start from June 2013. “We are very pleased to see the projected revenue benefits and cost synergies for both Etihad Airways and our partners tracking in line with, or even above, plan which shows once more that our partnership strategy delivers value to all parties’ shareholders,” said Hogan. <br />

	Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has acquired a 3.96 per cent stake in Virgin Australia Holdings. According to a press statement, the stake has been built over recent weeks, through purchases in the open market. <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	The press statement reads, “Etihad Airways believes that this equity investment in Virgin Australia’s domestic operations significantly strengthens the 10-year strategic partnership forged by the two carriers in August 2010. It will enrich the commercial benefits which the alliance already provides for both airlines, as well as increasing the benefits to Australian consumers and visitors to Australia.” <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	Together, Etihad Airways and Virgin Australia operate 24 flights a week between Abu Dhabi and Australia and passengers have access to a combined network of more than 150 destinations, says the statement. Etihad Airways began flying to Australia in March 2007 when it launched services to Sydney. Melbourne and Brisbane were quickly added thereafter. Nearly 2.2 million passengers have been carried between Abu Dhabi and these three cities in the last five years. <br />

<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Qatar Airways has installed a new navigational technology – Required Navigation Performance – Authorisation Required (RNP AR) approach - in its flights to Kathmandu considering the difficult terrain of Nepal. According to the airline, it is the first airline operating in Nepal to install such a technology which the company claims to be the latest of its kind. Locked in the Himalayan mountain range, Kathmandu has one of the world’s most complicated approaches due to the surrounding challenging terrain.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	“Flying an RNP AR approach into Tribhuvan International Airport reduces the pilots’ workload considerably and allows them to take full benefit of the advanced navigation equipment installed in the aircraft to easily circumnavigate difficult terrain,” reads the press release.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	The technology is believed to have significant safety improvements and reduce the required visibility compared with the current standard flying procedures with a smooth descent and fully stabilised approach. The RNP AR procedure allows aircraft to automatically fly accurate trajectories without relying on ground-based navigation aids. It also optimises airspace utilisation and reduces diversions in difficult weather conditions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said safety was the number one priority for the airline. “We pride ourselves on adopting the latest technology across our fleet and operation to ensure we maintain our high standards, vital for any business of our nature,” he said. According to the company, working closely with key industry associates, Qatar Airways &nbsp;has partnered &nbsp;with the French procedures designer &nbsp;QUOVADIS, an Airbus owned company, and the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) to design and implement the Kathmandu RNP AR procedure.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Director General of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), T.R. Manandhar, said that the RNP AR approach had been introduced to find a solution to the current difficulties of high terrain. He added that CAAN now expected other airlines as well to adopt the new procedure. Qatar Airways currently operates four flights a day between its Doha hub and Kathmandu, one of the carrier’s most popular routes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Qatar Airways has also embarked on its Boeing 787 European expansion with the deployment of the next generation aircraft on three additional routes – Munich, Zurich and Frankfurt. The Doha-based carrier has started flying the Dreamliner on the Munich route four times a week, effective January 14.From February 1, one of the double daily services to Frankfurt are being served by a Boeing 787. February 1 also signals an increase of 787 frequency on the Munich and Zurich routes to daily. All three destinations were previously operated with a mixed Airbus fleet.</p>',

		<span span="" style="font-size:10.0pt;Myriad Pro">Yangon will become the 10th destination to be launched or resumed by Dragonair since April 2012. Rich in history and culture, Yangon is a fascinating city to visit with its hybrid of local, British, Chinese and Indian influences, and it is home to the largest number of original colonial buildings in the region. Most of Myanmar’s commercial activities are centred in Yangon, reinforcing the city’s importance as a business and communications hub. <br />

		The press statement read, “The airline will operate the new service with Airbus A321 aircraft, departing Hong Kong every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. As well as connecting passengers from around the world into Myanmar, the latest destination launch will offer passengers from Myanmar greater choice and convenience when connecting to Dragonair’s Mainland China network or the vast international network of its sister airline, Cathay Pacific Airways, through the<br />
		Hong Kong hub.”<br />
		<br />
		Dragonair Chief Executive Officer Patrick Yeung said, “Yangon is an important addition to Dragonair’s expanding network in Asia and launching this new destination will further strengthen Hong Kong’s position as a leading aviation hub. We see tremendous potential in this market with both tourism and commercial activities rapidly gaining momentum. We look forward to carrying more passengers between Hong Kong and Myanmar and helping to promote ties between the two places.”<br />
		<br />
		In addition to the new Yangon service, Dragonair also increased frequencies to a number of destinations in its winter schedule, effective from 28 October. Services to Phnom Penh increased from seven to 10 flights per week, while one extra flight was added to Kota Kinabalu, making a total of six weekly flights to this popular Malaysian holiday destination.

mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Myriad Pro&quot;;color:#211D1E">Etihad Airways President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), James Hogan, visited Boeing’s Everett production facility on September 12, as the UAE flag carrier prepares to take delivery of more Boeing 777s and awaits the arrival of the 787 Dreamliner.</span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;

mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Myriad Pro&quot;;color:#211D1E">Hogan was leading a senior delegation of Etihad Airways and airberlin executives on a one day visit. Etihad Airways owns almost 30 per cent of airberlin, Europe’s sixth largest airline, reads the company’s press statement. In March, the two carriers announced plans to strengthen their partnership by integrating their respective Boeing 787 Dreamliner programs. Together, Etihad Airways (41) and airberlin (15) have 56 Dreamliners on order.</span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;
mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Myriad Pro&quot;;color:#211D1E">Inspecting the 777 and Dreamliner assembly lines, Hogan said, “It is exciting to see these aircraft take shape and we look forward to taking delivery of nine more 777s over the next 15 months. Last December, Etihad Airways announced it was taking its total order book for the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to 41, the first of which arrives in the last quarter of 2014. The order, valued at US$ 9.3 billion, will make Etihad Airways the largest operator of the aircraft type in the world. The UAE flag carrier has options and purchase rights for an additional 25 aircraft.</span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;

mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Myriad Pro&quot;;color:#211D1E">Etihad Airways on September 2 confirmed its equity stake in Virgin Australia Holdings which has now reached 10 per cent. According to the company’s official statement, this represents 221 million shares which have been bought in the open market over recent months.</span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;
mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Myriad Pro&quot;;color:#211D1E">Six weeks earlier to the latest development, Etihad Airways received Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) approval to increase its holding from 5 per cent to 10 per cent. Hogan said, “We are very pleased to have reached this threshold. “We support the management strategy of Virgin Australia and will continue to work closely with them on ways to improve our business,” he added.</span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;
line-height:115%;mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Myriad Pro&quot;;color:#211D1E">Hogan reiterated that Etihad Airways wasn’t interested in becoming a majority shareholder or taking control of Virgin Australia. “Our small equity stake reflects the strong working relationship of both airlines and again demonstrates our enduring commitment to the Australian market,” he said. Hogan is confident that the equity stake would lead to more revenue generating opportunities.</span></p>

	Etihad Airways’ ASKs rose by 25 per cent to 15.2 billion in the second quarter, as the fleet grew to 67 aircraft from its earlier 61. The revenue of Etihad Airways in six months this year has increased by 31 per cent to US$ 1.25 billion from US$ 957 million as compared to last year. The number of passengers has leapt up by 34 per cent to 4.89 million during the six months from 2.55 million in 2011. The increase in overall capacity and improved seat factors has contributed to the increment in the revenue, says the company. <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	The record results were boosted by the airline’s growing network of code-shares and strategic partnerships which together fed 800,000 passengers into Etihad Airways’ network in the last six months, contributing US$ 281 million. James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways said, “These results are an endorsement of our strategy, which has seen us widen and deepen our partnerships in addition to continued focus on our organic growth plan.” <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	Etihad Airways’ available seat kilometres (ASKs) rose by 25 per cent to 15.2 billion in the second quarter, as the fleet grew to 67 aircraft from its earlier 61. Likewise, revenue passenger kilometres (RPKs) rose 33 per cent to 11.8 billion from 8.9 billion. During the period, the Airways took minority equity stakes in Aer Lingus and Virgin Australia, adding to its minority shareholdings in Air Berlin and Air Seychelles. These five airlines together carried 72 million passengers on 376 aircraft in 2011, generating combined revenues of more than US$ 14 billion. <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	Recently, the Airways unveiled plans to launch daily flights to Sao Paolo in Brazil, its first South American destination, which will start from June 2013. “We are very pleased to see the projected revenue benefits and cost synergies for both Etihad Airways and our partners tracking in line with, or even above, plan which shows once more that our partnership strategy delivers value to all parties’ shareholders,” said Hogan. <br />

	Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has acquired a 3.96 per cent stake in Virgin Australia Holdings. According to a press statement, the stake has been built over recent weeks, through purchases in the open market. <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	The press statement reads, “Etihad Airways believes that this equity investment in Virgin Australia’s domestic operations significantly strengthens the 10-year strategic partnership forged by the two carriers in August 2010. It will enrich the commercial benefits which the alliance already provides for both airlines, as well as increasing the benefits to Australian consumers and visitors to Australia.” <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	Together, Etihad Airways and Virgin Australia operate 24 flights a week between Abu Dhabi and Australia and passengers have access to a combined network of more than 150 destinations, says the statement. Etihad Airways began flying to Australia in March 2007 when it launched services to Sydney. Melbourne and Brisbane were quickly added thereafter. Nearly 2.2 million passengers have been carried between Abu Dhabi and these three cities in the last five years. <br />

<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Qatar Airways has installed a new navigational technology – Required Navigation Performance – Authorisation Required (RNP AR) approach - in its flights to Kathmandu considering the difficult terrain of Nepal. According to the airline, it is the first airline operating in Nepal to install such a technology which the company claims to be the latest of its kind. Locked in the Himalayan mountain range, Kathmandu has one of the world’s most complicated approaches due to the surrounding challenging terrain.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	“Flying an RNP AR approach into Tribhuvan International Airport reduces the pilots’ workload considerably and allows them to take full benefit of the advanced navigation equipment installed in the aircraft to easily circumnavigate difficult terrain,” reads the press release.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	The technology is believed to have significant safety improvements and reduce the required visibility compared with the current standard flying procedures with a smooth descent and fully stabilised approach. The RNP AR procedure allows aircraft to automatically fly accurate trajectories without relying on ground-based navigation aids. It also optimises airspace utilisation and reduces diversions in difficult weather conditions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said safety was the number one priority for the airline. “We pride ourselves on adopting the latest technology across our fleet and operation to ensure we maintain our high standards, vital for any business of our nature,” he said. According to the company, working closely with key industry associates, Qatar Airways &nbsp;has partnered &nbsp;with the French procedures designer &nbsp;QUOVADIS, an Airbus owned company, and the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) to design and implement the Kathmandu RNP AR procedure.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Director General of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), T.R. Manandhar, said that the RNP AR approach had been introduced to find a solution to the current difficulties of high terrain. He added that CAAN now expected other airlines as well to adopt the new procedure. Qatar Airways currently operates four flights a day between its Doha hub and Kathmandu, one of the carrier’s most popular routes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Qatar Airways has also embarked on its Boeing 787 European expansion with the deployment of the next generation aircraft on three additional routes – Munich, Zurich and Frankfurt. The Doha-based carrier has started flying the Dreamliner on the Munich route four times a week, effective January 14.From February 1, one of the double daily services to Frankfurt are being served by a Boeing 787. February 1 also signals an increase of 787 frequency on the Munich and Zurich routes to daily. All three destinations were previously operated with a mixed Airbus fleet.</p>',

		<span span="" style="font-size:10.0pt;Myriad Pro">Yangon will become the 10th destination to be launched or resumed by Dragonair since April 2012. Rich in history and culture, Yangon is a fascinating city to visit with its hybrid of local, British, Chinese and Indian influences, and it is home to the largest number of original colonial buildings in the region.

		Hong Kong hub.”<br />
		<br />
		Dragonair Chief Executive Officer Patrick Yeung said, “Yangon is an important addition to Dragonair’s expanding network in Asia and launching this new destination will further strengthen Hong Kong’s position as a leading aviation hub. We see tremendous potential in this market with both tourism and commercial activities rapidly gaining momentum. We look forward to carrying more passengers between Hong Kong and Myanmar and helping to promote ties between the two places.”<br />

Last December, Etihad Airways announced it was taking its total order book for the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to 41, the first of which arrives in the last quarter of 2014. The order, valued at US$ 9.3 billion, will make Etihad Airways the largest operator of the aircraft type in the world.

mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Myriad Pro&quot;;color:#211D1E">Six weeks earlier to the latest development, Etihad Airways received Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) approval to increase its holding from 5 per cent to 10 per cent. Hogan said, “We are very pleased to have reached this threshold. “We support the management strategy of Virgin Australia and will continue to work closely with them on ways to improve our business,” he added.</span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;
line-height:115%;mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Myriad Pro&quot;;color:#211D1E">Hogan reiterated that Etihad Airways wasn’t interested in becoming a majority shareholder or taking control of Virgin Australia. “Our small equity stake reflects the strong working relationship of both airlines and again demonstrates our enduring commitment to the Australian market,” he said. Hogan is confident that the equity stake would lead to more revenue generating opportunities.</span></p>

	Etihad Airways’ ASKs rose by 25 per cent to 15.2 billion in the second quarter, as the fleet grew to 67 aircraft from its earlier 61. The revenue of Etihad Airways in six months this year has increased by 31 per cent to US$ 1.25 billion from US$ 957 million as compared to last year. The number of passengers has leapt up by 34 per cent to 4.89 million during the six months from 2.55 million in 2011. The increase in overall capacity and improved seat factors has contributed to the increment in the revenue, says the company. <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	The record results were boosted by the airline’s growing network of code-shares and strategic partnerships which together fed 800,000 passengers into Etihad Airways’ network in the last six months, contributing US$ 281 million. James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways said, “These results are an endorsement of our strategy, which has seen us widen and deepen our partnerships in addition to continued focus on our organic growth plan.” <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	Etihad Airways’ available seat kilometres (ASKs) rose by 25 per cent to 15.2 billion in the second quarter, as the fleet grew to 67 aircraft from its earlier 61. Likewise, revenue passenger kilometres (RPKs) rose 33 per cent to 11.8 billion from 8.9 billion. During the period, the Airways took minority equity stakes in Aer Lingus and Virgin Australia, adding to its minority shareholdings in Air Berlin and Air Seychelles. These five airlines together carried 72 million passengers on 376 aircraft in 2011, generating combined revenues of more than US$ 14 billion. <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	Recently, the Airways unveiled plans to launch daily flights to Sao Paolo in Brazil, its first South American destination, which will start from June 2013. “We are very pleased to see the projected revenue benefits and cost synergies for both Etihad Airways and our partners tracking in line with, or even above, plan which shows once more that our partnership strategy delivers value to all parties’ shareholders,” said Hogan. <br />

	Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has acquired a 3.96 per cent stake in Virgin Australia Holdings. According to a press statement, the stake has been built over recent weeks, through purchases in the open market. <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	The press statement reads, “Etihad Airways believes that this equity investment in Virgin Australia’s domestic operations significantly strengthens the 10-year strategic partnership forged by the two carriers in August 2010. It will enrich the commercial benefits which the alliance already provides for both airlines, as well as increasing the benefits to Australian consumers and visitors to Australia.” <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	Together, Etihad Airways and Virgin Australia operate 24 flights a week between Abu Dhabi and Australia and passengers have access to a combined network of more than 150 destinations, says the statement. Etihad Airways began flying to Australia in March 2007 when it launched services to Sydney. Melbourne and Brisbane were quickly added thereafter. Nearly 2.2 million passengers have been carried between Abu Dhabi and these three cities in the last five years. <br />

<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Qatar Airways has installed a new navigational technology – Required Navigation Performance – Authorisation Required (RNP AR) approach - in its flights to Kathmandu considering the difficult terrain of Nepal. According to the airline, it is the first airline operating in Nepal to install such a technology which the company claims to be the latest of its kind. Locked in the Himalayan mountain range, Kathmandu has one of the world’s most complicated approaches due to the surrounding challenging terrain.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	“Flying an RNP AR approach into Tribhuvan International Airport reduces the pilots’ workload considerably and allows them to take full benefit of the advanced navigation equipment installed in the aircraft to easily circumnavigate difficult terrain,” reads the press release.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	The technology is believed to have significant safety improvements and reduce the required visibility compared with the current standard flying procedures with a smooth descent and fully stabilised approach. The RNP AR procedure allows aircraft to automatically fly accurate trajectories without relying on ground-based navigation aids. It also optimises airspace utilisation and reduces diversions in difficult weather conditions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said safety was the number one priority for the airline. “We pride ourselves on adopting the latest technology across our fleet and operation to ensure we maintain our high standards, vital for any business of our nature,” he said. According to the company, working closely with key industry associates, Qatar Airways &nbsp;has partnered &nbsp;with the French procedures designer &nbsp;QUOVADIS, an Airbus owned company, and the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) to design and implement the Kathmandu RNP AR procedure.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Director General of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), T.R. Manandhar, said that the RNP AR approach had been introduced to find a solution to the current difficulties of high terrain. He added that CAAN now expected other airlines as well to adopt the new procedure. Qatar Airways currently operates four flights a day between its Doha hub and Kathmandu, one of the carrier’s most popular routes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Qatar Airways has also embarked on its Boeing 787 European expansion with the deployment of the next generation aircraft on three additional routes – Munich, Zurich and Frankfurt. The Doha-based carrier has started flying the Dreamliner on the Munich route four times a week, effective January 14.From February 1, one of the double daily services to Frankfurt are being served by a Boeing 787. February 1 also signals an increase of 787 frequency on the Munich and Zurich routes to daily. All three destinations were previously operated with a mixed Airbus fleet.</p>',

		<span span="" style="font-size:10.0pt;Myriad Pro">Yangon will become the 10th destination to be launched or resumed by Dragonair since April 2012. Rich in history and culture, Yangon is a fascinating city to visit with its hybrid of local, British, Chinese and Indian influences, and it is home to the largest number of original colonial buildings in the region.

		Hong Kong hub.”<br />
		<br />
		Dragonair Chief Executive Officer Patrick Yeung said, “Yangon is an important addition to Dragonair’s expanding network in Asia and launching this new destination will further strengthen Hong Kong’s position as a leading aviation hub. We see tremendous potential in this market with both tourism and commercial activities rapidly gaining momentum. We look forward to carrying more passengers between Hong Kong and Myanmar and helping to promote ties between the two places.”<br />

mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Myriad Pro&quot;;color:#211D1E">Etihad Airways President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), James Hogan, visited Boeing’s Everett production facility on September 12, as the UAE flag carrier prepares to take delivery of more Boeing 777s and awaits the arrival of the 787 Dreamliner.</span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;

mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Myriad Pro&quot;;color:#211D1E">Hogan was leading a senior delegation of Etihad Airways and airberlin executives on a one day visit. Etihad Airways owns almost 30 per cent of airberlin, Europe’s sixth largest airline, reads the company’s press statement. In March, the two carriers announced plans to strengthen their partnership by integrating their respective Boeing 787 Dreamliner programs. Together, Etihad Airways (41) and airberlin (15) have 56 Dreamliners on order.</span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;
mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Myriad Pro&quot;;color:#211D1E">Inspecting the 777 and Dreamliner assembly lines, Hogan said, “It is exciting to see these aircraft take shape and we look forward to taking delivery of nine more 777s over the next 15 months. Last December, Etihad Airways announced it was taking its total order book for the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to 41, the first of which arrives in the last quarter of 2014. The order, valued at US$ 9.3 billion, will make Etihad Airways the largest operator of the aircraft type in the world. The UAE flag carrier has options and purchase rights for an additional 25 aircraft.</span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;

mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Myriad Pro&quot;;color:#211D1E">Etihad Airways on September 2 confirmed its equity stake in Virgin Australia Holdings which has now reached 10 per cent. According to the company’s official statement, this represents 221 million shares which have been bought in the open market over recent months.</span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;
mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Myriad Pro&quot;;color:#211D1E">Six weeks earlier to the latest development, Etihad Airways received Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) approval to increase its holding from 5 per cent to 10 per cent. Hogan said, “We are very pleased to have reached this threshold. “We support the management strategy of Virgin Australia and will continue to work closely with them on ways to improve our business,” he added.</span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;
line-height:115%;mso-bidi-font-family:&quot;Myriad Pro&quot;;color:#211D1E">Hogan reiterated that Etihad Airways wasn’t interested in becoming a majority shareholder or taking control of Virgin Australia. “Our small equity stake reflects the strong working relationship of both airlines and again demonstrates our enduring commitment to the Australian market,” he said. Hogan is confident that the equity stake would lead to more revenue generating opportunities.</span></p>

	Etihad Airways’ ASKs rose by 25 per cent to 15.2 billion in the second quarter, as the fleet grew to 67 aircraft from its earlier 61. The revenue of Etihad Airways in six months this year has increased by 31 per cent to US$ 1.25 billion from US$ 957 million as compared to last year. The number of passengers has leapt up by 34 per cent to 4.89 million during the six months from 2.55 million in 2011. The increase in overall capacity and improved seat factors has contributed to the increment in the revenue, says the company. <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	The record results were boosted by the airline’s growing network of code-shares and strategic partnerships which together fed 800,000 passengers into Etihad Airways’ network in the last six months, contributing US$ 281 million. James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways said, “These results are an endorsement of our strategy, which has seen us widen and deepen our partnerships in addition to continued focus on our organic growth plan.” <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	Etihad Airways’ available seat kilometres (ASKs) rose by 25 per cent to 15.2 billion in the second quarter, as the fleet grew to 67 aircraft from its earlier 61. Likewise, revenue passenger kilometres (RPKs) rose 33 per cent to 11.8 billion from 8.9 billion. During the period, the Airways took minority equity stakes in Aer Lingus and Virgin Australia, adding to its minority shareholdings in Air Berlin and Air Seychelles. These five airlines together carried 72 million passengers on 376 aircraft in 2011, generating combined revenues of more than US$ 14 billion. <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	Recently, the Airways unveiled plans to launch daily flights to Sao Paolo in Brazil, its first South American destination, which will start from June 2013. “We are very pleased to see the projected revenue benefits and cost synergies for both Etihad Airways and our partners tracking in line with, or even above, plan which shows once more that our partnership strategy delivers value to all parties’ shareholders,” said Hogan. <br />

	Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has acquired a 3.96 per cent stake in Virgin Australia Holdings. According to a press statement, the stake has been built over recent weeks, through purchases in the open market. <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	The press statement reads, “Etihad Airways believes that this equity investment in Virgin Australia’s domestic operations significantly strengthens the 10-year strategic partnership forged by the two carriers in August 2010. It will enrich the commercial benefits which the alliance already provides for both airlines, as well as increasing the benefits to Australian consumers and visitors to Australia.” <br />
	<br />
	<br />
	Together, Etihad Airways and Virgin Australia operate 24 flights a week between Abu Dhabi and Australia and passengers have access to a combined network of more than 150 destinations, says the statement. Etihad Airways began flying to Australia in March 2007 when it launched services to Sydney. Melbourne and Brisbane were quickly added thereafter. Nearly 2.2 million passengers have been carried between Abu Dhabi and these three cities in the last five years. <br />
