Info & Insight from AFA chief advocate
AFA President, Martin Craigs raises issues which underline industry trends and showcase our sponsors' good work
AFA Half time talk ....Second half plans Plus Sign of the Times...Aviation and fast trains ... Tragic irony
Dear Members and Associates,
I trust you are enjoying the last day of June in good health with old friends.
The AFA will, as usual, have a regional events recess during July/August, but will make an appearance at the Farnborough Air Show. An AFA dinner is planned at Shanghai Tangs, in the Dorchester Hotel, Park Lane on Monday, 19 July at 8:00 p.m.
This informal dinner is deliberately timed and located to allow members to attend the ISTAT cocktail party immediately before. Please advise if you wish to reserve a seat.
During the final four months of 2010, AFA events with the CEOs of MAS, China Airlines and Dragonair are scheduled. An AFA delegation will tour aviation facilities in Shanghai in October and attend the APEC Head of State Summit in Yokohama 10-14 November. AFA have also been invited to participate in IATA’s “Vision 2050 - Shaping Aviation’s Future”.
Please note we have now added a comment box for “Sign of the Times”on the web site. You are encouraged to converse.
The SCMP should be applauded for the below insightful report on a disturbing corruption story inside aviation circles in China.
It is indeed a tragic irony that the government aviation official who committed suicide chose a fast train line to end his journey.
Your industry is en route to underwriting fast train development via tax cross subsidisation let’s make sure there are logical limits to aviation’s subsidisation of its landbound cousin.
No more tragic irony . . . please.
