1 Dutch Government Sets Rates for New Aviation Tax While continuing to lobby for an EU-level aviation tax, the Dutch government has decided to move ahead with plans to introduce a new national tax on passenger and cargo flights departing from airports in the country starting in 2021. State Secretary for Finance Menno Snel published a draft bill May 14 that proposes a flat-rate aviation tax of €7 per departing passenger—transit passengers and infants under two years old are exempt—and a charge based on the maximum takeoff weight (mtow) of full-freight aircraft indexed to the noise level. Under the legislative proposal, belly freight appears exempt. The proposal would set a rate for the noisiest category of full freighters at €3.85 ($4.31) per ton of mtow and €1.925 for less noisy aircraft. The majority of cargo flights, 85 percent, currently fall into the highest noise category, the ministry of finance said. The draft bill follows a commitment of the governing coalition for a ―greening‖ of its tax regime and to make the aviation sector more sustainable. The Netherlands imposed a ticket tax in 2008 of €11.25 for flights within the EU or for distances no longer than 2,500 kilometers and €45 for flights beyond that distance but scrapped it just a year later following a fall in passenger numbers. The Dutch government argues the situation differs markedly now and that its past aviation tax came in the midst of a financial crisis that compounded the contraction of traffic. Currently, demand exceeds infrastructure capacity at airports in the country, it noted. In addition, several EU countries have introduced an aviation tax, thereby lessening the threat of traffic leakage from Dutch airports to neighboring airports. Germany and Austria introduced a ticket tax in 2011, Norway followed in 2017, and Sweden in early 2018. The UK and France have imposed aviation taxes since the 1990s. Italy also imposes an aviation tax. The Dutch government said it would abandon its national aviation tax if the EU commits to an EU-wide aviation tax because aviation crosses borders. It floated the idea at a meeting of transport ministers earlier this year, but the European Commission said it would not take the initiative to draft and submit a proposal under the current tenure as European parliamentary elections take place later this month. The Dutch government, however, continues its efforts and has organized a high-level conference in The Hague on the topic with the support of Belgium and France for June 20 to 21.


2 At the European level, it identified the following options for an aviation tax: the introduction of value-added tax (VAT) on cross-border passenger air transport; the introduction of excise duties on fuels for commercial aviation; and the introduction of a flight tax. The Dutch government perceives only the latter option as realistic in the short- to mid-term, noting that the debate on an EU-wide VAT on international passenger tickets has gone on for 25 years without any result. Taxing aviation at the EU level—specifically fuel and VAT on all, not just domestic, tickets— has become a major topic of debate in Europe and several political parties or candidates to become the next EC president have included it in their election manifestos. An official petition has called on the EC to propose to the bloc’s member states the introduction of a tax on aviation fuel. ―The aviation sector enjoys tax advantages despite being one of the fastestgrowing sources of greenhouse gas emissions,‖ it claims. Brussels-based NGO Transport & Environment on Monday called ―indefensible‖ Europe's ―unique and deplorable status as a kerosene tax haven.‖ The European aviation sector remains heavily undertaxed compared with other regions, it said, based on findings in a leaked report financed by the European Commission. ―Local and foreign airlines in Europe have never paid a single cent of excise duty on the fuel they take on at EU airports,‖ said the group. ―Airlines are not even taxed on domestic flights. In contrast, jet fuel taken on for domestic aviation has been taxed for many years in countries such as the U.S., Australia, Japan, Canada, and even Saudi Arabia.‖ Transport & Environment said the study shows that taxing aviation kerosene sold in Europe would cut aviation emissions by 11 percent, or 16.4 million metric tons of CO2 a year, and result in ―no net impact on jobs or the economy as a whole while raising almost €27 billion in revenues every year.‖

1 Lufthansa becomes world’s first airline to earn IATA ONE Order certification

Lufthansa’s ONE Order certification from IATA follows the successful completion of a one-year pilot project at the airline in collaboration with Lufthansa Systems, said a statement by the airline.

In a bid to devise more customer-specific offers, foundation for innovation in travel booking and accounting processes is being chalked out by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which has started with ONE Order initiative to modernize its member airlines’ flight booking and accounting processes. Under this initiative, Lufthansa’s ONE Order certification from IATA follows the successful completion of a one-year pilot project at the airline in collaboration with Lufthansa Systems, said a statement by the airline. The IATA move will enable member airlines to align their products even more closely to customers’ needs and substantially simplify the customer’s booking experience. Under the ONE Order approach, the customer is issued a single reference number for their journey, known as their Order ID, that covers all their flight and supplementary product documents (which have previously been handled separately), according to Lufthansa. ONE Order thus allows all the travel products and services for a particular trip – even those of other providers such as partner airlines or third parties such as hotels and car rental companies – to be fully integrated under a single booking reference number. The adoption of ONE Order has been made possible by IATA’s New Distribution Capability )NDC( standard, which is using the XML standard to modernize the systems communications between airlines and other travel service providers.


2 Christian Popp, the Lufthansa Group’s Head of Distribution and Revenue Management Strategy & Business Intelligence, said ―We are very pleased to have become the first airline in the world to obtain this ONE Order certification,‖ adding ―With the new ONE Order standard, we can even better address our customers’ needs, tap new potential and create added value together with our system partners within the travel market. This latest development is also further confirmation of the leading role that the Lufthansa Group continues to play in innovation terms, and marks another major step towards the airline sales of tomorrow.‖ Yanik Hoyles, IATA’s Director of Industry Distribution Programs, said ―We congratulate the Lufthansa Group on becoming the first airline group to earn our ONE Order certification,‖ adding ―With their NDC and ONE Order involvement, the Lufthansa Group is helping to take our industry further along the road to a modern digital retail experience.‖ The one year project’s objective was to conduct the entire product offer and booking process solely on the basis of the NDC and ONE Order standards. As part of the long-standing involvement of the Lufthansa Group in helping to develop new industry standards, the project’s feedback and findings were shared with both IATA and industry partners, the statement said. Notably, the Lufthansa Group works continually to develop and refine new technological solutions that can sustainably enhance the processes involved to offer a travel booking experience that is tailored as closely as possible to the individual customer’s needs, it added.

1 Jeffrey N. Shane: Rebalancing the value chain The IATA-CFM agreement will do more than make for a healthier maintenance, repair, and overhaul sector writes Jeffrey N. Shane, IATA’s General Counsel.

In July 2018, IATA and CFM, the engine manufacturing partnership of GE Aviation and Safran Aircraft Engines, announced a breakthrough agreement that will ensure beneficial competition in the aftermarket for the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of CFM’s engines. The agreement was the product of 18 months of negotiations, after IATA filed a formal complaint on behalf of its member airlines with the European Commission in March 2016. Airlines had complained that CFM was preventing the use of less expensive, non-CFM parts for repair and maintenance, even when those parts were explicitly approved by regulatory authorities as equivalent to CFM’s own products. Airlines also maintained that CFM was unjustifiably limiting the repairs that third-party repair shops could undertake. CFM strenuously denied these allegations but agreed to negotiate a resolution. The agreement and important new Conduct Policies that it contains came into effect on 28 February 2019. The agreement will be in force for seven years and addresses most of the practices that IATA’s members had complained about. It includes a multi-layered enforcement mechanism with the possibility of penalties and damages where the Conduct Policies are found to have been violated (through arbitration proceedings).


2 In addition, it: ensures that the Conduct Policies will be applicable not only to CFM-56 engines but also to all other engines produced by CFM and GE Aviation includes beneficiaries other than airlines. Engine repair shops, third-party parts manufacturers, lessors, and IATA itself are all entitled to enforce the agreement does not include anything that diminishes in any way the rights and remedies otherwise available to airlines. Airlines retain the ability to pursue complaints through other available tribunals if they choose to—unless, of course, they opt for enforcement mechanism provided in the agreement. The real significance of the agreement transcends its details, however, and even the engine maintenance aftermarket. It demonstrates that the airline industry, working through IATA and using the legal tools at our disposal, can finally begin to rebalance a value chain that has been tipped for much too long in favor of the larger suppliers of equipment and services. This theme—rebalancing the value chain—is now one of the airline industry’s, and IATA’s, highest priorities. The episode with CFM has shown what can be achieved. Moreover, it was not a tale of heroes and villains. It was ultimately a collaboration, and it achieved a classic win-win outcome. CFM has confirmed this view, saying: ―CFM expects that the resulting publication of the Conduct Policies and Implementing Measures will facilitate the awareness of CFM’s principles with its customers and support IATA’s intent to expand the application of such policies to other stakeholders in the aerospace industry.‖ IATA will indeed do all it can to encourage other participants in the aftermarket for aviation equipment and services to adopt policies similar to those embraced by CFM. We will always prefer collaboration. Where our member airlines are disadvantaged, IATA has an obligation to assist them.

1 60 seconds with... Jevey Zhang, Hong Kong Air Cargo Jevey Zhang, President, Hong Kong Air Cargo.

What are the short to medium-term prospects for the air cargo market? The year-end industry growth figure for 2018 was 3.3%. But according to Hong Kong International Airport published data, although in 2018 the total cargo throughput increased 1.5% year-on-year to 5.1 million tonnes, it decreased from December. That month it handled 448,000 tonnes, a 5.2% year-on-year drop. And in January 2019, it handled 401,000 tonnes, a 4.2% year-on-year drop. Uncertain global economic conditions have contributed to decreases in cargo volume. Imports and transshipments were impacted the most, registering 8% and 6% year-on-year drops, respectively. Among key trading regions, cargo traffic to and from Europe and Southeast Asia has decreased most significantly. However, a list of positive factors provide us with confidence, such as recent positive trade talks, favorable fuel prices and increasing demand for time sensitive and temperature-controlled air freight. Are you happy with the facilities at Hong Kong Airport? We are. However, due to slot constraints many of our flights are only able to fly night schedules. We look forward to additional slots with the commissioning of the third runway as soon as possible. In brief... Hong Kong Air Cargo As a subsidiary of Hong Kong Airlines, the carrier operates 12 routes to and from Hong Kong Operating out of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Air Cargo has a fleet of five Airbus ‫االدارة العامة للعالقات العامة والمراسم‬ A330-200F aircraft Founded in 2017, the airline transports products ‫للطيران‬ ‫القابضة لمصر‬ ‫الشركة‬in full accordance with IATA standards


2 How difficult is it to balance the trade flow and ensure full freighters on westeast routes? The trade flow has suffered turbulence from time to time because of many factors. As an air cargo carrier based in Hong Kong, the answer to this is a broader approach and global optimization that will allow us to better integrate with the logistics supply chain. But there are key factors we must research before we take solid action, such as the Belt and Road Initiative and the development plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. We would also have to undertake research on political, economic, and cultural factors and on network segmentation to target the correct markets at the correct times. What are the major challenges in the air cargo industry? There are political, technical and economic challenges facing the air freight sector. On the political side, there is increasing protectionism around the world and policies and regulations relating to air cargo are inconsistent. Technically, the industry has to learn how to improve service levels and increase capacity to keep up with the incredible growth of e-commerce demand, which has rapid shipping requirements. Disruptive technologies will also give rise to the economic challenge as the global logistics network and supply chain have become very dynamic. Keeping pace with new entrants will be hard. Also, although the fuel price is set to remain low for now, ultimately the price is unforeseeable.

1 Alexandre de Juniac: Proudly building a sustainable future for aviation Managing the aviation industry’s contribution to climate change is a priority.

IATA marked its 74th anniversary on April 19. Our founding members gave their association a very clear mission: ―To promote safe, regular, and economical air transport for the benefit of the people of the world, to foster air commerce, and to study the problems connected therewith.‖ It is unlikely that anybody present at IATA’s founding in Havana, Cuba all those years ago could have foreseen the amazing growth and technological advancements in civil aviation that followed. But they did have a prescient understanding that the development of air transport would have a positive impact on people. And they were absolutely right. Aviation has evolved to be an essential part of modern life for many—so much so that life without the freedom that flying enables is nearly unthinkable. All indications are that the demand to fly will double over the next two decades. Much of that will be from the developing world. The rapidly expanding middle class will want the same opportunities to explore our planet that are taken for granted in developed markets. Aviation’s license to fulfill these opportunities, however, is under acute pressure in Europe. In Sweden a term has even been invented—Flygskam—to shame those who travel by plane with the goal of limiting flying. This conclusion would be tragic. Flying is freedom. Confining people’s horizons to train distances or boat speeds back-steps on a century of worldwide progress. Relying on virtual meetings to make global connections ignores the feelings and sensations that make us human. And denying our natural inclinations to explore and experience would mean that we can never fully appreciate the amazing people and places that make up the world in which we live.


2 Avoiding climate calamity will force change in how we live. But there is no shame in experiencing our world through flight. Our world is a better place because aviation has turned our big planet into a connected community. That is something of which we should be proud! That’s why a sustainable future for aviation is the focus of our industry agenda. We demand that governments are more pro-active on the biggest opportunity to quickly and dramatically reduce aviation’s carbon footprint— the commercialization of sustainable aviation fuels. In parallel, we continuously challenge ourselves as an industry to drive efficiencies and develop cleaner technologies. And we are working holistically with policymakers to ensure that the benefits and opportunities of a connected world are sustainably available to future generations. Alexandre de Juniac: Director General and CEO, IATA
