The Tokyo metropolitan government is planning to use aircraft that can take off and land vertically and thus use shorter runways for an airport on Chichijima island, part of the Ogasawara Islands World Natural Heritage site, The Yomiuri Shimbun has learned.

The use of tilt-rotor aircraft can halve the planned length of the runway to about 500 meters, reducing the adverse impact on the environment. The metropolitan government aims to strengthen tourism, emergency medical responses and reduction of disaster risks with the planned airport.

UNESCO registered the Ogasawara Islands as a World Natural Heritage site in 2011 for its rich nature and they are often referred to as “the Galapagos of the East.”

The metropolitan government, which aims to open the airport in about 10 years at the earliest, will soon start creating detailed construction and operation plans.

Leonardo confirms its commitment to support and strengthens the industrial structure and competitiveness of its supply chain AD&S sector on international markets, also in this context affected by the pandemic situation.
The financial robustness of its supply chain has always been an important priority for Leonardo. In the current situation where liquidity needs are clearly greater, Leonardo is stepping up support and increasing the package of solutions and tools available to its suppliers, with a particular focus on SMEs, to ensure continuity and development to programmes which are strategically very important.
In this context, Leonardo, in its leadership role in the AD&S sector, has signed agreements with certain banks, factoring and other financial institutions that already support the Group's supply-chain.
These agreements are aimed at enhancing the financial strength of the supply-chain, ensuring credit for the small-mid size Italian suppliers in the sector.

Many international ops are straightforward and self-manageable, but this is not always the case. If you’re just going to Canada, Mexico, or the Caribbean on a regular basis, these trips can often be planned and managed successfully in-house.
Larger corporate flight departments which have robust internal scheduling/dispatching capabilities also prefer to manage certain longer overseas trips using their own personnel and resources.
However, if you have a smaller flight department and you’re flying to a new far-flung international destination for time-sensitive meetings, you’ll usually benefit from outsourcing trip planning and day-of-operation support to an effective international support provider (ISP).

Swedish Medevac PC-24 Completes Successful Maiden Flight

The first of six PC-24s for the Swedish Air Ambulance Organisation took off from Buochs Airport for its maiden flight on 22 July 2020. Sporting the national colours of Sweden – blue and yellow – the Super Versatile Jet will cut a dash across Swedish skies.

Less than a year after the agreement between the Kommunalförbundet Svenskt Ambulansflyg (KSA) and Pilatus was signed, the maiden flight of the first Swedish medevac PC-24 marks an important milestone in the programme. Despite the disruption caused by the covid-19 pandemic, Pilatus still managed to meet the tight production schedule.

State of the FBO industry.
As in past years, this State of the FBO Industry provides an opportunity to honor top ground service providers, review trends in business aviation, and offer a prognostication for the coming year.
While this year’s PRASE (Preferences Regarding Aviation Services and Equipment) winners should enjoy their well-deserved recognition for the fruits of their labors, today’s absurdly brief news cycle tends to render success transitory.
It is especially true this year, for a story which began making headlines in January overshadows the news like no other in modern times. A deadly pandemic with far-reaching consequences has gripped all of humanity – Covid-19.

The global network of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities that service Pratt & Whitney’s GTF™ engines continues to grow with the addition of new facilities, more capacity and added capabilities. Pratt & Whitney, a unit of Raytheon Technologies Corp. (NYSE: RTX), and its partners are focused on ensuring GTF engines are ready for service as we enter the industry recovery and the fleet continues to grow.

In the first half of 2020, the Pratt & Whitney GTF MRO network expanded to nine facilities, including Delta TechOps in the United States and EME Aero in Poland. Air India Engineering Services Limited (AIESL) was announced as a provider of maintenance services in support of GTF operators in India and the surrounding region. In addition, Pratt & Whitney’s North Berwick facility will expand to provide maintenance for high pressure turbine and high pressure compressor modules.

“Through the first half of the year we saw the GTF MRO network reach significant milestones, all of which help us better serve our customers,” said Joe Sylvestro, vice president, Aftermarket Operations, Pratt & Whitney. “We’re continuing to invest in our facilities to deliver engines faster, and with the highest quality, to make sure our airline customers are ready to fly as demand returns.”
