The report will be discussing about the Conditions of Carriage issued by three different airlines, from different regions: Emirates Airlines, Virgin Atlantic Airlines, and Malaysia Airlines. The report is divided into four sections:
1. The development of Conditions of Carriage for airlines
2. Common conditions
3. Variations in conditions
4. Any shortcomings in the conditions which may expose the airlines to risk
1. The development of Conditions of Carriage for airlines.
Airlines, planes, and aircrafts are all words that are used to relate to air transportation. Air transportations are a special service that is taken on air to reach certain destinations around the world within hours. A service where our ancestors would of surly preferred rather than walking and riding horses/ camels that will take months or years to reach their destinations. It is alleged that the Wright Brothers were the first people to construct and fly a plane in mid-air. However that is not entirely true, although the Wright Brothers were not the first to build and fly experimental aircraft they certainly however were the first to invent and construct aircraft controls that made fixed wings powered flight possible.

The first commercial airline is believed to be Ilya Muroments who were the first to fly. On December 10th 1913. However on February 25th 1914 it was able to take off for its first demonstration flight with sixteen passengers on board and from June 21st till June 23rd, it was also able to make a round trip from Saint Petersburg (Russia) to Kiev (Ukraine). The duration of the flight was fourteen hours and thirty-eight minutes with only one intermediate landing taken
Airplanes are massive and very complex pieces of machinery, and they help us get to places more efficiently and cheaper than traditional ways. Although we have seen that if
British Airways ' earliest predecessor was Aircraft Transport & Travel, Ltd., founded in 1916. On August 25, 1919 this company inaugurated the world 's first scheduled international air service, with a converted de Havilland 4A day bomber leaving
This research paper aims to provide an in depth look into the purposes of the Railway Labour Act, the reasons it was enacted and the impacts of its future amendments. It will look at the inclusion of the airline industry into the Act, and its applications to it. This paper will also cover the loopholes and disadvantages of the Act and its consequences. This paper draws upon various sources including scholarly textbooks, reports and papers. This research paper aims to provide valuable information regarding the importance the Railway Labour Act and its significance to the airline industry.
Airplanes before the industrial revolutions were more like gliders. The first idea of planes were wings that strap onto their arms. Another form would be the ornithoper, which were machines with flapping wings. These ideas didn’t
The 1920s was a decade of prosperity and prelude to the diverse introduction of new technologies. At the same time the automobile became popular, aircraft began to develop. Although during the World War II, aircraft is widely used to attack into enemy lines, prior to this, aircraft was used to deliver mail and compete for the distance it could fly without making any stop. One such aviator, Charles A. Lindbergh challenged to the first solo transatlantic flight and in a moment, he became one of the America’s most beloved hero.
Let us not forget a huge transportation invention that came during the 19th century, the airplane. The airplane was invented by Orville and Wilbur Wright on December of 1903. The founders were also brothers, and they invented the first successful object which a machine carried a man rose by its own power. It had speed, descended without damage and flew naturally. As time passed the
At first it sounds really simple, who has not heard of an airplane. But then the question comes, how would actually define what’s an airplane. Well an airplane is defined by its fixed wings structure, unlike a rotary-wing aircraft it doesn't need it´s wings to rotate to create lift. Airplanes have to be controllable along three axes and this was also the main thing that set the Wright brothers apart for the rest but. Airplanes have to be powered and they have to be able to take off and land by their own power and they also have to be heavier than the air around them.
As beasts of burden the early airplanes excelled. From the time they carried their first large loads of cargo and mail they illustrated how quickly and easily large freight loads could be brought in to remote regions. There were so few methods of transportation that could easily deliver more than one hundred pounds of cargo if there was no water or road access. It was certainly clear from the first cargo flights that aviation would be the preferred method of
Before planes were invented, traveling from Raleigh to Los Angeles took two days; however, with a plane it only takes six hours, which is eight times faster. Scientists were trying to create a faster way of traveling when they thought of flying. Although there were many attempts from different people to try and build a useful plane, the first successful airplane invention was on December 17,1903 by the Wright brothers (Hawk, 2003). The world changed immensely before and after planes were invented. Moreover, the usage of planes changed the duration of traveling, War strategies, and the isolation of countries.
Juan Terry Tripp, born in 1899. a former World War I naval aviator founded his first airline in 1923, Long Island Airways. In 1924 he created Colonial Air Transport, with service between New York and Boston. He left Colonial in 1926 and in 1927 helped form Pan American Airways, later known as Pan AM. It was here that Tripp began to change how commercial aviation in significant ways. Starting off as primarily carrying US Air Mail between Cuba and Florida. Pan Am quickly grew and in 1935 started offering transpacific service and in 1939 transatlantic service using the company’s fleet of large flying boats or Clippers as Pan Am called them. During World War II these flying boats were pressed into service to provide transportation to the troops.
Operations in international and/or foreign countries will create significant operational challenges. Differences in governing laws and regulations for the airlines industry, business, and employee relations will become challenging. Interpretation and intent for various laws can and will provide ambiguity that must be dealt with. Research shows that various international airlines continue to be plagued by high costs and poor service (Ramamurti & Sarathy, 2007).
The report is designed to understand the working practices of the two government bodies in the field of aviation i.e. US Federal Aviation Administration and General Civil Aviation Authority. The two authorities have a sole responsibility for the control and regulation of civil aviation in their respective countries. The report will discuss the operations specification similarity as well as contrast between the two bodies along with a brief understanding of their functions and procedure. The study will analyze the difference and reasons to those, along with that some recommendation will be suggested to improve those regulations.
