avianova commenced operations on 27 - aug - 09 , with four services from moscow vnukovo airport to four russian cities , with one - way tickets starting at rub250 ( usd7 . 70 ) ( excluding charges ) .
two 12 - year old a320s on five - year leases from ilfc and previously operated by us airways , with the carrier planning to acquire two additional aircraft for the winter schedule . the carrier reportedly plans to take delivery of a total of 12 a320s by 2011

controlled by alfa group and indigo partners , through russian company luch . alfa group is the ultimate majority shareholder through its investment subsidiary , a1 . private investors , willam frank and jeremy wilson , are also reportedly part owner of the carrier .

canadian start - up , enerjet , indefinitely deferred plans to launch leisure services in jul - 2009 , with the carrier planning to instead focus exclusively on workforce transportation .

according to mr mann , the canadian leisure market remains highly competitive , with several leisure carriers remaining and westjet being
very aggressive
at expanding its network of leisure destinations in mexico and the caribbean .
mr mann added that the workforce transportation market is more lucrative and less competitive , stating , “we found our nice . we’ll focus on the workforce market” . enerjet now competes mainly against canadian north which operates ageing b737 - 200s , while enerjet operates a pair of former airtran airways b737 - 700s .

the carriers are entering a growing market , with the number of domestic brazilian passenger increasing 6 . 6 % between jan - 2009 and jul - 2009 , according to anac . lccs currently comprise almost 50 % of total domestic capacity ( seats ) in brazil .
cambodia angkor air currently offers domestic and international services between phnom penh , siem reap , and ho chi minh city , with service to other regional cities ( including sihanoukville , once the new airport is opened ) to be added “soon” . all flights are codeshared with vietnam airlines . the carrier also plans to launch services to europe in the future .
happy air , a thai start - up , reportedly plans to launch operations with daily phuket - hat yai service on 26 - oct - 09 , after obtaining permits from the thai department of transportation .
the philippines ' pacific pearl airways , a new private carrier in the philippines , has established its base at subic bay international airport , as part of plans to launch operations in dec - 2009 .
the carrier plans to initially commence operations with domestic services to bohol , boracay , cebu and davao using turboprop aircraft before expanding into chartered international services with two b737 - 200 aircraft .
fuji dream airlines launched service in recent months , with the carrier targeting an initial passenger load factor of 65 % operating two e - 175s from mt fuji shizuoka airport to komatsu , kumamoto and kagoshima .
the carrier , which expects to become profitable from 2012 , plans to add three more aircraft and three additional destinations .
japan is a high cost market with high barriers to entry . the two major carriers , japan airlines and all nippon airways and their various subsidiary airlines dominate most of the market .
in addition , these carriers are slowly but surely drawing the independent smaller operators into their networks , such as the business - focused starflyer and ibex airlines and domestic lccs such as skymark , skynet airlines and hokkaido international airlines ( air do ) . lccs currently have slightly under 5 % of the domestic japanese capacity ( seats ) .
there is also the national high - speed rail line , the shinkansen , to compete with . handling in excess of 150 million passengers p / a , it is one of the busiest fast - rail networks in the world , and , with more than 2 , 500 km of track , one of the most extensive .
fuji dream airlines aims to be a little different from most japanese airlines , challenging the common view that regional carriers are a marginal proposition in the country . instead of basing itself in tokyo , or one of the major regional / business centres such as fukuoka ( starflyer ) or miyazaki ( skynet ) , the carrier has chosen to base itself at the brand new mt shizuoka international airport , which opened at the beginning of jun - 2009 .
shizuoka prefecture lacks a major city , with its eponymous main city having just 720 , 000 residents . it is the tenth most populous prefecture in japan , with more than 3 . 8 million people . the new airport’s location , just 80 km from mt fuji , makes it a prime tourist destination . mt fuji receives between 200 , 000 - 300 , 000 visitors per year , of which approximately a third are foreign tourists .
the prefectural government is eager to support more tourism efforts . it aims to increase the number of shizuoka residents going abroad to 500 , 000 and the number of overseas visitors to shizuoka to 500 , 000 p / a by 2010 ,
the carrier will commence operations in late jul - 2009 , with a fleet of two brightly painted 76 - seat e 170 regional jets . its initial destinations – komatsu , kumamoto and kagoshima – are all secondary regional destinations with “strong business traffic” , important as shizuoka is a major region for light manufacturing . crucially , there is little competition on the routes , from either ground or air transport . neither jal or ana ( the only other domestic carriers at the airport so far ) operate to any of fuji dream’s initial destinations , and there are no direct fast - rail lines to the cities .
a third aircraft has already been ordered from embraer , and the carrier plans to expand its fleet to five aircraft by 2012 . three other destinations , toyama , matsuyama and sendai , will be added over the next two years , but the carrier is avoiding adding major cities such as sapporo or fukuoka , due to competition from major carriers .
with no direct competition on the routes , fuji dream faces little chance of the fare wars that have marked the appearance of other small carriers in japan over the past decade . the carrier hopes to quickly achieve load factors of 65 % on its initial routes , but realises it could face a tough time initially , due to the unfavourable operating environment .
however , the carrier is well supported by its suzuyo & co parent and the shizuoka prefectural government , which has provided usd13 . 5 million in no - interest loans to help with aircraft acquisitions . if it can ride out the next 18 - 24 months without major mishap , fuji dream airlines is confident that it can become profitable by the end of fy2012 .
vietjet air ’s operating license is due to expire on 20 - dec - 09 if it does not launch operations . however , according to the carrier’s website , it still plans to commence services in 2009 , although no further details were provided .
the carrier had proposed to launch hanoi - ho chi minh city - danang service in late 2008 , adding routes to bangkok , singapore , hong kong and south korea in due course . the carrier deferred its launch , citing the effects of the global financial downturn , high fuel prices and the swine flu outbreak .
pacific wing ' s application stated the start - up is 100 % australian owned . the application named geoffrey bowmaker , the former ceo of nauru carrier , our airlines , as being involved in the carrier , with non - executive director , manish sundarjee , who has been a special advisor to the nauru government and
was also involved in the early days of virgin blue
.
the carrier plans to launch services from brisbane to noumea in new caledonia and from cities in australia to secondary cities in new zealand . the carrier also plans to launch trans - tasman routes that air new zealand has abandoned over the past few years , potentially including services to dunedin , hamilton and palmerston north .

china joy air commenced commercial operations on 15 - aug - 09 , with the launch of xi’an - yan’an service , following the receipt of an operating licence from the caac on 02 - jun - 2009 .

ownership : hna group contributed cny1 . 1 billion ( usd158 million ) , accounting for 83 . 2 % of the registered capital , while hainan airlines co ltd contributed cny19 million ( usd2 . 8 million ) , accounting for 1 . 47 % of the registered capital , and tianjin port free trade zone invested cny200 million ( usd29 million ) , accounting for 15 . 4 % of registered capital ;
fleet : received its first new e190 on 08 - jun - 09 . the carrier plans to operate a fleet of more than 100 aircraft by 2012 .
air arabia , one of the world’s most efficient and profitable airlines , has announced another breakthrough in its rapid development as a pan - regional lcc powerhouse . less than five months after launching a jv operation in morocco , air arabia has signed a joint venture agreement with travco group , a leading tourism and hospitality group , to establish air arabia egypt .
almasria , whose name derives from the arabic word for egypt , previously stated it aims to capture traffic in the north of egypt for hajj pilgrimages to mecca , and also plans to operations services from the egyptian capital to destinations in libya , bahrain , kuwait and some european destinations . the carrier expects a short - term network covering 20 destinations .
fleet wise , almasria has secured an initial two a320s from boc aviation , with the aircraft previously belonging to kingfisher . the carrier plans to dry - lease the first aircraft for the first three years , with its fleet growing to four aircraft within the next four months . by 2014 , the carrier plans to purchase aircraft from airbus , with a targeted fleet size of ten aircraft . almasria will configure its aircraft with 180 all - economy seats .
fly540 zimbabwe stated it could launch services by the end of oct - 2009 . fly540 zimbabwe will operate to key domestic and regional cities from its harare hub , with domestic routes to bulawayo , victoria falls , kariba and mutare , as well as international services to johannesburg and beira . this capability will be complemented by a freight service , with the carrier also planning to expand this network once established .
the move to zimbabwe is part of fly540’s strategy to roll out operations across africa with local partners in each country , and will boost the company’s operations to cover nine african countries by the end of 2009 .
lonzim stated the launch of fly540 zimbabwe is “central to lonzim’s investment strategy of identifying current market opportunities in zimbabwe and establishing companies that will benefit from the economic recovery of the country” . the company added that “the potential aviation market on a domestic and regional basis is significant and currently underserved” .
lonzim air , a wholly owned subsidiary of lonzim plc ( a uk - based conglomerate with business interests in africa ) has invested usd200 , 000 in the acquisition of 90 % of zimbabwe company sol air ( private ) limited . lonrho holds a 24 . 5 % stake in lonzim and a 49 % stake fly540 .
a further usd4 . 3 million ( resulting from an independent valuation ) will be invested in acquiring an atr 42 turbo prop from the lonrho aviation fleet and usd2 . 0 million for the operational costs associated with commencing operations and a working capital provision of usd3 . 9 million for the first twelve months .
the carrier had initially planned to launch operation by sep - 2009 , but did not receive its air operator ' s certificate from the civil aviation authority of zimbabwe in time . fly540 zimbabwe , however , has now obtained the air services license and following completion of the arrangements with lonrho’s fly540 it will be possible for fly540 zimbabwe to finalise the necessary permissions to operate .
fly540 africa will reportedly receive usd100 , 000 to initiate flight operations in zimbabwe , and thereafter a license fee of 2 . 5 % of gross turnover and a monthly management fee of usd35 , 000 for managerial services .

based on placencia423 ' s link , tropic and maya had the same number of incidents in the last 5 years , and 4 vs . 2 over the last 10 years with no fatalties on either airline . if that ' s a compete list , it ' s fairly reassuring . if both airlines have roughly 4 , 000 flights down the length of the coast each year ( with a few thrown in to account for the irregular spur routes ) your chances of an incident over the last 10 years were about 0 . 0001 % on tropic and 0 . 00005 % on maya .

conclusion : there is no possible way that the coast guard picked us up in 20 minutes . they may have left to come get us within 20 minutes of the call ( ? ) but even that call could not have been made prior to being picked up by the guards at the audubon society on the first island - which was already at least one hour and fifteen minutes after the plane crashed into the sea . additionally , even if the coast guard left to come within 20 minutes of the call , they did not actually show up on that island to retrieve us until well into the night - as we had already been there waiting an hour and a half .

and a child we were separated on 2 different flights and not told until the flight was boarding . we had boarding passes with the same # on them . they took 2 and luggage for 5 . the other 3 attention bed later and we could not get their bags because we did not have their tags . we had a great buy wet week on amberges caye . when we left , we had requested the 11 flight arriving at the airport a little after 10 . we were told we were on the 12 flight . poor service , never an apology and we will avoid in the future and recommend you do the same .
i had a flight coming back to belize on the 21st of april that i had to wait over 4 hours past when i was supposed to take off . when my group got to the airport for our return flight at 11 : 30am we wer
and when we inquired on the status , they then said it had been canceled and another flight was coming at 1 : 00 . when that time came around they then informed us that the company had made a mistake and other excuses were given to us on why we were stuck at the airport and that a flight would be there shortly . finally at 4 : 45pm we boarded and were on our way . if we had known all of this we would have gotten a different flight so we didn ' t have to adjust our schedules for transporta
tion and which resulted in people being late for work . we didn ' t have that option to make adjustment
emailing them to get my refund that started on may 4th . on may 8th i was informed that i would be getting a refund that could take 2 - 3 weeks . 3 weeks later i am told it will be processed on that friday june 1st . nothing happened , i contacted them again to see the status and was told it could take 1 - 3 weeks . when i asked what had been going on for the last month i was told that my request has been sent to the proper person , but they are out of the office until next friday . this is ridiculous
thanks for taking good care of my wife carmela on sat . 31st , march . it was her 1st time making the trip from belize city to punta gorda . since we have moved here we usually drive the 5 hours but she
decided to fly on easter weekend . even with the holiday travelers your service was exceptiona
l ! ! don ' t know if i can get her to take the drive anymore .
decided to give them a try at san pedro . went to buy my ticket and wasnt even greeted . agent seemed not happy to he there . so , i asked what happen to service with a smile . then the evening before my f
light got a call that my flight was cancelled and to choose an earlier or later flight . so i choose a later flight . the day of my flight it was 30 minutes late . while in the waiting room a pilot grabbed water and spilled some by the front door . i told him and he ignored it and walked out . so i took it upon myself to tell the agent about it to avoid an accident . you ' re welcome . not even a thanks . customer service is more than horrible and i rather pay more and avoid this horrible experience
tried calling and calling the placencia branch ( and belize city branch ) to arrange an earlier flight . no one answered . i didn’t want to arrive at the airstrip and find out the flight was booked and be
stuck in their waiting room for 2 hours hence my reason for not going to the airstrip . last minute i decided to just head to the airstrip because one one answered . when i arrived it was just before 2 p . m . i still wasn’t able to board the flight because the pilot didn’t want to wait ( which is fine ) . but i was upset because if they had answered their phone i would have reached on time . but the representa
tive told me “i should have reached earlier” that’s not what i want to hear answer your phone . i was trying to call an hour before the flight because i didn’t want to wait at the terminal for 2 hours , i would have rather enjoyed placencia for that time . he then promised that there would be a couple flights between 2 to 4p . m . which he can arrange to get me on one . needles to say i wasn’t placed on any earlier flight nor was i notified of this . bad customer service . . .
it ' s hard to rate a flight that didn ' t occur because the airport at cay caulker was closed two days before the flight was scheduled .
your company refuses to refund the money for the flight and then stating we were a no show .
excellent service and great ride . it was a pretty smoother ride and we had s really good pilot ! views are amazing ! ! !
fun to take a little cesna from corazol to san pedro . smooth flight , on time , they let me change my flight without a charge . just an amazing fun little airway .
good service . due to rain i was surprise the flight wasn’t bad at all . thank you fir taking care of us . kudos to the pilot and ground crew !
priority seating on the next flight , calling the airport to hold the plane for us , a personal guide to greet us and quickly walk us and our luggage to the check in ! amazing people and service . thank you ! !
on the dangriga to belize city flight the morning of october 30 . i was terrified of getting on the plane ; i have a fear of flying anyway , and i ba
rely made it through the flight from bze to dga the week before . i needed to be next to my husband for support and sat that way intentiona
lly when we boarded the plane . the captain told me i had to move without explanatio
n . when i tried to explain that i needed to be next to my husband for support , he yelled at me in front of the entire plane , forcing me to move . i was forced to sit next to a stranger in tears in a panic attack for the entire flight , separated from the one person who could support me through this . i was embarrasse
top notch service on all the 5 flights we had , all staff very courteous . . .
ng to wait another hour to get the next available flight . no apologies on behalf of the company ! poor customer service is definitely
someone dropped a package off for my sister at 2 pm and was assured the package would be sent on the 2 : 30 flight to placencia .

background information : my name is arthur rogiérs ( professionally known as
rogiérs
) . i am a native of the st . croix , u . s . virgin islands and currently reside in washington , d . c . i am a professional singer - songwriter , producer , recording artist , musician and educator with a 25 + year career in the entertainment industry . i had been in belize ( san pedro ) on both business and pleasure . at the time of the crash , i was ending my stay in belize and heading to honduras for my last day in the region before returning to the states . it had been my second trip to both belize and san pedro - my stay in roatán was to be for the second time in this particular visit .
i want to stress for the record my commendation of the pilots efforts , skills and choices in the plane crash on june 2nd . while mr . bodden and i were quite skilled and composed with quick reactions during and after the crash , the reality is that captain delfield literally pulled us out of the submerged aircraft that we were both struggling to get out of . for that , and for his decision to ditch the plane where he did - and in the manner in which he did , i will forever be grateful and sing his praises . best regards , arthur rogiérs

the aircraft was hit by more than one missile shortly after take - off and crashed . on 9 march another of the airline ' s il - 76s had been hit by a missile before landing at mogadishu and landed successfully but suffered serious damage .
the aircraft went missing on a flight from juanda airport , surabaya to manado airport , sulawesi . some wreckage has been recovered but not the flight recorders . the indonesian chief investigator says the geographical co - ordinates of the recorders ' locator signals were registered before they failed , and in early june he indicated the intention to mount a search for them . the aircraft crashed into water 2km ( 6 , 600ft ) deep . severe thunderstorms were forecast in the general area where the aircraft went missing .
the aircraft approached the airport well above the glideslope at a much higher speed than normal and with flaps set only to 5° . the cvr confirms that the co - pilot called for the captain to go around but he did not . the aircraft touched down at 221kt , overran the runway , breaking off the nose gear , then it burst into flames .
the aircraft touched down 400m short of the runway and off centreline in freezing fog . it broke up and came to rest inverted . the authorities have since imposed operating limitations on utair ' s tu - 134 operations . investigators believe there were no technical faults with the aircraft at the time of the accident and it was in the correct configuration for landing .
the aircraft had taken off from douala just after midnight bound for nairobi , kenya , when it crashed into a mangrove swamp just over 5km from the runway end . wreckage examination suggests that the aircraft was steeply banked to the right at impact . there was thunderstorm activity in the area at the time . the fdr and cvr have been recovered and sent to canada for downloading .
the aircraft crashed on landing . the angolan national directorate of civil aviation told flight international there was evidence the aircraft came down short of the runway and hit a building . one of its main gear legs separated and the other collapsed . the forward fuselage was destroyed . the weather is not believed to have been a factor .
the aircraft did not slow down at a normal rate during the landing run and ran over the end of the runway at high speed , colliding with buildings . there were 12 fatalities on the ground . the 1 , 880m runway was wet . investigations so far show that the crew - perhaps because their minds were fixed on the fact that the starboard engine reverser was locked out - failed to retard the right power lever at the flare when they retarded the left one . this left power on the starboard engine still in autothrust , and when autothrust disconnected , the power remained at the last autothrust setting . leaving the right power lever advanced also prevented the lift dumpers from deploying because both power units have to be at idle for them to operate . having both power levers at idle is also one of the conditions required for the autobrake to activate .
the aircraft landed in stormy weather with a crosswind , ran off the right hand side of the runway , collided with an earth bank and other obstacles and caught fire .
the aircraft hit high ground during a night approach about 12km from the airport . visibility was good , and atlasjet ' s chief executive says the crew ' s communication with isparta atc indicates that the pilots had sighted the airport .
the aircraft , a charter carrying turkish workers from adana , turkey to balad , crashed on approach .
the aircraft crashed in trees en - route kato - kopinang in marginal weather .
the aircraft went missing on a scheduled domestic flight from siem - reap angkor airport to sihanoukville .
shortly after take - off from the short strip the aircraft crashed and burned .
immediately after take - off , the aircraft plunged into the sea . the french investigator bea says severe friction wear was found in the stainless steel cables controlling the elevators , and cable breakage was also discovered . wear appears to have been located near cable guides . the agency immediately advised all operators of twin otters to check all control cables .
the aircraft crashed on landing . at least five people on board were injured . there was no passenger manifest .
the aircraft went missing and the wreckage was found on a mountainside at about the 7 , 300ft level .
the aircraft went missing on a mail and newspaper delivery flight from port moresby to hoskins . in june , papua new guinea grounded airlink for a month subject to a safety audit .
bound for goma , the aircraft took off from a section of road used as a landing strip for a mining community . an engine failed and caught fire . the crew lost control of the aircraft trying to recover to the landing strip .
one of its two engines failed early in the climb at about 3 , 000ft , and the aircraft was badly damaged in the emergency landing .
less than a minute after take - off , the no 4 engine lost power , and within a second the no 3 also failed . the aircraft was carrying 9t of freight and it could not maintain altitude . it crashed among trees about 4km from the runway end . the russian investigator mak says bird remains were found in both failed engines , both propellers had been feathered and the aircraft weight and balance was within limits . although the cvr survived , the fdr was destroyed in the post - crash fire .
an engine failed 10 minutes into the flight , and the aircraft , carrying 9t of mineral materials , could not maintain height . the crew attempted to return to kongolo airport , but the aircraft hit trees short of the runway .
