News From ISTAT

Complementing another fabulous — though at-times sweltering — Paris Air Show, ISTAT once again hosted a lavish reception and offered an onsite chalet for members and guests throughout the duration of the air show, as well.

Members and invited guests gathered at the Palais Brongniart in Paris at the conclusion of the air show's first full day on 19 June to network, catch up with colleagues and forge new relationships, all while enjoying the scenery provided by this historic and awe-inspiring location, a former 19th century stock exchange.

Onsite at the air show, more than 1,000 attendees took advantage of the air conditioning, outdoor shade and welcoming atmosphere at the ISTAT Chalet to enjoy food and beverage, network, conduct business and a front row view of the air show. Although temperatures in Paris soared to more than 37o C that week, the chalet provided a cool refuge for members and guests.

ISTAT is offering a new benefit to any member currently between jobs. These individuals may request complimentary admission to an ISTAT conference, forum or event. There are countless networking opportunities available at any ISTAT event, and there are few who could better use those opportunities than those between jobs. Each request will be reviewed in confidence by the Executive Committee of the ISTAT Board to determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis, but the basic requirements are:

Eligibility for Conferences/Forums:

  • A minimum ISTAT membership of five or more consecutive years;
  • Attendance at three or more ISTAT conferences/forums in the prior five years; and
  • Complimentary conference/forum admission has not been granted within the previous 12 months.

Eligibility for Events (e.g. networking receptions, air show chalets):

  • A minimum ISTAT membership of five or more consecutive years.

Requirements may be waived/changed at the discretion of the Executive Committee. For eligibility requests, please contact Julie Wichlin at executivedirector@istat.org.

 

For those attending EAA Air Venure Oshkosh, ISTAT member Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure will be hosting a complimentary reception for ISTAT members at the Boeing Chalet in Boeing Plaza on 26 July from 5:30-8:00 p.m. Food and drinks will be served, and a B787 simulator will be free for all to try. Patty Wagstaff and other airshow pilots will make appearances during the reception. For additional details, please contact jlewis@fortress.com.

 

ISTAT EMEA offers countless opportunities to network and create new, lasting business connections.

Jetrader Magazine

In author Eric Frank Russell’s 1947 short story, Hobbyist, he described what was then a dystopian and far-fetched idea — using printer-like devices to create structures out of thin air, atom by atom "like brick after brick to build a house." At the time, it was purely speculative fiction and was as remote a possibility as intergalactic space travel is today

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced global passenger traffic results for May showing that demand (measured in revenue passenger kilometers, or RPKs) rose 7.7% compared to the same month in 2016. This was slower than the 10.9% growth recorded in April. However, this still was well ahead of the 5- and 10-year average growth rates. Capacity climbed 6.1%, and load factor rose 1.2 percentage points to 80.1%, which was a record high for the month.
 
Boeing and Airbus delivered 75 and 64 commercial jets in June 2017, respectively, compared to 74 and 64 during the same month last year. This year to date, Boeing has delivered 352 jets (375 by this time last year), while Airbus has delivered 306 (298 in 2016).
 
The Indian government's plan to privatize the struggling flag carrier Air India could help the country's aviation sector to soar. A group of ministers has been tasked with determining the finer details of the process, after India's cabinet recently approved the privatization of loss-making Air India "in principle."
