Air France pilots to strike (1) Pilots at Air France have given notice of a four-day strike next week, in protest at what they say are deteriorating working conditions. The walk-out by two unions, the SNPL and SPAF, is scheduled to run from June 11-14. The strike will begin the day after the start of the Euro 2016 soccer tournament, hosted in France, and which is expected to see tens of thousands of extra passengers flying in from around the continent to watch matches. The unions said that further walk-outs were possible. Air France said it deplored the strike call, which came just as the country’s air traffic controllers called off a planned three-day strike that would have started June 3. France has seen weeks of workers’ protests against a planned labor law reform that have led to shortages of auto fuel and disruptions to the nation’s train system. The airline said it was too early to know how badly its services would be affected by strike action. SNPL and SPAF are believed to represent around 75% of Air France’s pilot workforce. In a joint statement, the pilots’ unions said that, despite their willingness to adopt new working practices over recent years to improve the airline’s position, it seemed to be set on a path of austerity. ‖

(2) They said that the number of ―full-time equivalent‖ pilot positions at Air France had fallen from 3995 in 2011 to 3388 today. The Air France Group and the airline sector in general were enjoying excellent results at present and for the airline to continue down a path of attrition and ―downsizing at all costs…is not an option.‖ After several months of negotiations, trust in management was non-existent, the unions added in a statement. They are seeking improved working conditions and salaries, a commitment to developing Air France’s short- and mediumhaul business and the involvement of pilots in the airline’s business processes. Air France said that a four-day pilots’ strike, coming as the company was still in a ―fragile position‖ after having recorded its first profit following eight years of losses, threatened to derail its ―positive momentum‖ and hamper the efforts of all employees to improve the national carrier’s position. Dialogue had to remain the preferred way of finding compromises between management and workers. Conflict and strikes ―will only unnecessarily weaken the company.‖ It stood ready to meet the unions ―to search with them [for] a way out of this situation.situation.‖

Willie Walsh, CEO of International Airlines Group (IAG) succeeds Andres Conesa, CEO of Aeromexico, as Chairman of the IATA Board of Governors (BoG). Walsh, who represents British Airways (BA) on the IATA BoG, takes up his duties immediately for a one-year term until the conclusion of IATA’s 73rd AGM. Alexandre de Juniac, Chairman and CEO of Air France-KLM, was confirmed to succeed Tony Tyler as IATA’s Director General and CEO. His appointment is effective from 1 September 2016. Board of Governors Developments Walsh is the 75th Chair of the IATA BoG and the sixth to fulfil that function while representing BA or its predecessor airlines. He has served on the IATA BoG continuously since 2005. "I’m honored to serve in this important role at such a critical time. Our top priority is getting governments’ agreement on a global marketbased measure to manage aviation’s carbon emissions at the 39th Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization later this year. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity which is vital if our industry is to achieve carbon-neutral growth from 2020," said Walsh. Walsh also noted a broader IATA agenda with governments, "Too often government policies limit aviation’s ability to be a catalyst for economic growth and development. Excessive taxes rob our industry of its vitality while costly and ineffective infrastructure constrains our ability to support rising demand for connectivity. Regulation often comes with negative consequences for both passengers and airlines..‖

"I know how challenging it is to run an airline and how much airlines depend on IATA to support their business—to safely process industry money, to deliver effective advocacy, to lead global initiatives and to provide relevant products and services. My aim is to help airlines to be even more successful businesses creating even greater economic and social value. I want all of our members to have a future that is even safer, more efficient, sustainable and increasingly profitable," said de Juniac. ..‖
http://www.atn.aero/ Aeromexico to Host 73rd IATA AGM in Cancun Dublin – The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that Aeromexico will host the 73rd IATA Annual General Meeting (AGM) and World Air Transport Summit. The event will attract the top leadership of the air transport industry to Cancun, Mexico from 4-6 June 2017. "Cancun is an excellent choice for the 73rd IATA AGM. Mexico’s Quintana Roo state is world-renowned for its beautiful Caribbean beaches, rich history and culture. And aviation plays a critical role in connecting it to global tourism markets. Cancun’s economic development is a testament to the transformative power of air transport," said Tony Tyler, IATA’s Director General and CEO. IATA’s member airlines accepted Aeromexico’s invitation to host the AGM in 2017 at the close of the 72nd AGM in Dublin, Ireland. Aeromexico has been a member of IATA since 1958. Andres Conesa, the airline’s CEO, has served on the IATA Board of Governors since 2008, including as its Chairman for the 2015-2016 term. Next year’s AGM will be the third time it is held in Mexico, following the AGMs in Mexico City in 1994 and 1966. "I look forward to welcoming the aviation world to Mexico next year. Delegates will find a vibrant economy in which aviation plays a key role. The industry’s footprint in Mexico includes some 156,000 jobs and $4 billion in economic activity. Ambitious infrastructure developments supported by a strategic location at the center of the Americas will ensure a growing role for Mexican aviation on the global stage," said Conesa. The 72nd AGM and World Air Transport Summit in Dublin attracted nearly 1,000 aviation leaders from IATA member airlines, industry stakeholders, strategic partners and members of the media.
http://www.iata.org/ Tony Tyler's Closing Remarks, 72nd AGM, Dublin (1) We have come to the close of another IATA AGM. After two days of intense discussions, it is not the time for a long speech. But I did not want to miss this opportunity to recognize the contributions of those organizations and individuals who have made your AGM so special. I often say that aviation is a team effort. IATA AGMs are no different. It takes a great team to make an AGM possible. As we bring this event to a close, I would once again like to recognize their efforts. First, thanks to all of you for not just coming, but participating in the 72nd IATA AGM and World Air Transport Summit. Our members have showed up in record numbers. And that is a great sign of the tremendous support that they give to their association. And I should specially recognize one member, Aer Lingus, who have graciously hosted us in this vibrant city. When we were invited to Ireland for this AGM, we knew that it would be one to remember. Stephen and his team at Aer Lingus have not let us down. Our AGM has a reputation for coinciding with freak weather. Many of you will remember the massive hailstorm in Cape Town three years ago. But Stephen has arranged a week of uninterrupted sunshine – even more remarkable in Ireland at this time of year. And Stephen has also presided skillfully over our discussions as the AGM President. In our modern world, it is not often that one gets to bang a gavel. But it is a critical part of the AGM President’s role. We have a tradition of presenting the gavel to the AGM President. And we will continue that this year.
http://www.iata.org/ (2) We also must say thank you to our many sponsors. Our gold sponsors—Airbus, Boeing and GE—have made a particularly significant contribution with memorable social functions. They were joined by Rolls-Royce and Travel Sky as Silver Sponsors. And many more at the Bronze level. AerCap, Aviation Capital Group, ATR, BOC Aviation, Bombardier, Boxever, CAE, CAPA Centre for Aviation, Changi Airport Singapore, CFM, firstaff, Heico, LEK, Mistubishi Aircraft Corporation, Miagen, MTU Aero Engines, Narita, Optiontown, Panasonic, Pratt & Whitney, Seabury, Seraph Aviation Management, SITA, SMBC Aviation Capital, Thales, UATP. Thanks for recognizing all of them and our special partners—Dublin Airport and CNN—for their efforts with a hearty round of applause. And I would also like to thank—personally and on your behalf—my IATA team, of whom I could not be more proud. Over these few days in Dublin they have put on a great show. And day-in and day-out over the course of the year they make tremendous efforts to support me, and more importantly to support you, our members with results that are make a difference to your business. This will be my last AGM as your Director General and CEO. As I have said before, it has been an honor and pleasure to serve the industry in this unique and important role. I have spent my entire career in this great industry. Thank you all for supporting me during these past five years. And I shall cherish my last three months in post before I hand over to Alexandre who, I am sure, will continue to make IATA a very relevant association for all of you.
http://www.iata.org/ (3) The theme for this AGM has been aviation as a force for good. I think that we have lived up to that promise. The resolutions that we have passed on climate change, on terrorism and ending the illegal trafficking of wildlife demonstrate that we are a good corporate citizen in our globalized world. But even more impressive is what you and your teams do each and every day—safely boarding 10 million people and 140,000 tonnes of cargo, taking them to 30,000- or 40, 000-feet, and then safely returning them to land many kilometers away. That’s amazing stuff! You do it with a huge amount of planning and coordination to make sure that it all works seamlessly. You keep safety, security and sustainability as top priorities. You struggle to keep revenues ahead of costs. Your days are full in managing the present and preparing for the future. And I am sure that you don’t often have the time to reflect on the positive impact that our business—aviation—has had on our world in just over a century. So let me remind you. We create jobs. We help economies to develop. We have shrunk distances. We make peoples’ lives better. And from the very core of what we do, aviation makes the world a more prosperous place—in terms of wealth and the human spirit. That’s a message that we should shout proudly from every corner of this wonderful world that we bring together. And Godspeed to all of you as you continue to nurture and grow this most exciting industry into an even more potent force for good!

http://www.iata.org/ Acceptance Speech, Alexandre de Juniac, Director General and CEO Designate (1) Colleagues, members, friends. Thank you,…for the honor of confirming me as the seventh Director General and CEO of the International Air Transport Association. IATA has a tradition of strong leadership. Each Director General has brought his own flavor to this important role. They have all contributed to making our industry stronger by ensuring that IATA is focused on airline needs and equipped to represent, lead and serve all its members. I look forward to continuing that tradition. It is a privilege to follow Tony Tyler who has led IATA so skillfully. I will inherit an organization that Tony has re-shaped to be close to its members and effective in delivering the value that they expect of their global association. I particularly look forward to working with the strong IATA team that Tony has built. Under Tony’s leadership IATA has embarked on major programs that will have a transformational impact on our industry. And we owe a great debt of thanks to Tony for partnerships that he has strengthened across the industry, and with governments. I will nurture these partnerships as we Drive forward important initiatives to ―Simplify the Business‖, Advocate for Smarter Regulation, Improve infrastructure, Manage our climate change impact, and Drive efficiencies across the value chain. One of our most important partnerships is with governments—where I have spent part of my career. I understand how governments operate. But let me reassure you, I am far from patient with the speed at which they work. I shall be a tireless advocate for government policies to keep pace with the challenges that.
http://www.iata.org/ (2)
you—IATA’s members—face. Let me also assure you that I am a businessman. Like you, I know how tough it is to run an airline. And, I understand how much you count on IATA for The reliability of its settlement systems, Its leadership on current issues, and Its foresight in preparing for future challenges. The tremendous support that you give to IATA—helping it to be successful in serving your needs—is clear from your participation at this AGM. At Air France-KLM and at Thales before that, my focus has been on customer needs, creating value today and looking ahead to prepare for the future. I will be guided by a similar focus at IATA, but with the broad interests of the entire industry at heart. IATA is where airlines come together to agree on a common way forward so that air travel is safe, secure, efficient and sustainable. We know the barriers Costs from monopoly suppliers are too high, Taxes add to the burden, Regulations have unintended negative consequences, and Infrastructure needs are too often ignored. As your Director General and CEO, my only objective is to help you—IATA’s members—to be more successful by advancing our common interests. And what better industry to represent! Tony calls it a force for good.
http://www.iata.org/

I agree. For me,….we are in the business of freedom. Airlines bring people together—to do business, to learn, to explore, and to experience. And we deliver cargo that underpins world trade. This creates value for our world—value that would go unrealized without aviation. I am proud to be part of the global air transport industry. And I am excited to represent, lead and serve our industry as IATA’s Director General and CEO. I am committed to leading an effective association that is worthy of the strong support that you give to it. I look forward to helping all of our members ―fly better, together.‖ Thank you again for your trust and confidence.

Bringing Transparency, Visibility to NDC Deployments
(1) Dublin – The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced the launch of the New Distribution Capability (NDC) Certification Registry to recognize those companies that have implemented part or all of the NDC technical standard. The Registry lists airlines, travel agents and aggregators (such as global distribution systems) that have achieved NDC certification as well as those IT providers that have demonstrated they are capable of delivering NDC-certified products. ―Since the IATA membership approved the first NDC standard in September 2015 we have seen a huge upsurge in interest and activity among airlines, global distribution systems and IT providers. NDC certification confirms the scope and level of an entity’s ability to receive and send NDC messages. Making that information available on a public registry provides transparency and visibility on existing deployments as well as identifying those travel agents, aggregators and IT suppliers who have demonstrated a level of readiness to support NDC messages,‖ said Aleks Popovich, IATA Senior Vice President, Financial and Distribution Services. Any airline that deploys an NDC application programming interface (API) to make its content available, or any agent or aggregator that uses these APIs to get that content, may apply for NDC certification. Any vendor that offers NDC products and services for airlines and travel agents can apply to be NDC-capable. NDC certification and NDC-capable statuses have three levels of attainment:
http://www.iata.org/
(2)
Level 1 covers implementation using past and current NDC schemas with a limited scope – for example, sales of ancillaries post-booking. Level 2 focuses on Offer Management. This level requires a more extensive use of the shopping/offer management API. Level 3 targets NDC end-to-end deployments. These are deployments which cover both offer and order management and where the airline takes full control of shopping as well as booking, payment and ticketing. As of 1 June, 18 airlines and 17 technology companies have achieved NDC certification or NDC-capable status, while 6 have applications in progress. ―NDC is now mainstream. In 2016, the program is transitioning to enhancing the standard and driving further deployment. The NDC Certification Registry will help airlines to identify those travel technology stakeholders who are also moving forward to modernize distribution and transform the way air products are retailed,‖ said Popovich.
