History

Asiana was established on 17 February 1988 and started operations in December 1988 with flights to Busan. It was formed by the Kumho Asiana Group (formerly Kumho Group) as part of the South Korean government's policy to create a second flag carrier and was originally known as Seoul Air International. The South Korean government has given its approval for foreign ownership of the airline to increase from 20% to 50%. The airline is owned by private investors (30.53%), Kumho Industrial (29.51%), Kumho Petrochemical (15.05%), foreign investors (11.9%), Korea Development Bank (7.18%), and others (5.83%). It employs 7,799 staff (at March 2007).[5]

Asiana Airlines has rapidly expanded since its establishment in 1988 to become a midsized, global carrier with a fleet of 69 aircraft providing international services to 66 cities in 21 countries on 82 routes, and domestic services to 12 cities on 15 routes. In 2007, the airline had net sales of some US $3 billion.[6]
[edit] New image

In February 2006, Asiana Airlines modernised its corporate identity to harmonise with those of other divisions of its parent company the Kumho Asiana Group. The names of the travel classes have changed from First Class, Business Class, and Economy Class to First, Business, and Travel classes respectively, and the colors of the travel classes have changed to yellow, blue and red for First, Business, and Travel Class, respectively. New uniforms are also planned for the crew.[7]

On 18 April 2007, Skytrax awarded Asiana the prestigious five-star ranking, an accolade shared with Cathay Pacific, Malaysia Airlines, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines and Kingfisher Airlines.[8] On 17 February 2009, Air Transport World awarded Asiana the "Airline of the Year", which is considered one of the most honorable awards in the airline industry.

[edit] Incidents and accidents
Asiana Airlines logo, 1988-2005

* On 29 April 2009, an Asiana Airlines Boeing 777, flight 271, flying between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and Incheon Airport (ICN), with 179 passengers and 16 crew aboard made an emergency landing shortly after taking off from SEA after fire and smoke was seen from the left engine. The airplane dumped fuel over the Puget Sound, before landing safely around 3:30 pm at Seatac. The 7 year old Boeing 777-200ER, registered HL7700 is powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW4090 engines. It was delivered on May 24, 2002. A compressor stall is blamed for the incident as of May 4, 2009. Local residents expressed their concern about the fuel dump but authorities assured the general public that the fuel dump did not cause any adverse consequences, including potential injury to wildlife.[22]
* On 19 August 2004, Asiana Airlines flight 204, a Boeing 747 coming into Los Angeles International Airport from Incheon, South Korea, had a near collision with Southwest Airlines Flight 411, a Boeing 737, while landing as a result of a mix-up by air-traffic controllers. The pilot of the Asiana flight aborted the landing, saving both planes.[23]
* On 11 November 1998, an Asiana Airlines B747-400 attempting a U-Turn in the gate area of the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport embedded its winglet in an Aeroflot Ilyushin Il-62M tail. No one was injured. Asiana was subsequently sued by Aeroflot. The Il-62M in this incident is now retired and is parked at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport with the Asiana winglet still embedded into its tail.[24]
* On 26 July 1993, Asiana Airlines Flight 733, a B737-500 (HL7229) struck high ground in poor weather about 4 kilometres from the runway in Mokpo while it was making its third attempt landing at runway 06 at Mokpo Airport. 2 of the 6 crew members and 66 of the 110 passengers were killed.[25]

Inspired by its legendary ‘Five-star Tri-Star’ service of the late 1970’s and 80’s, Gulf Air is set to re-create the golden-age of travel with the launch today of completely new seating, furnishing and service in its First and Business Class cabins.

The first of six refurbished Airbus A330s entered service on the Abu Dhabi – London route today. Five others will be upgraded between now and July 2005. James Hogan, President and Chief Executive of Gulf Air, said, “Gulf Air continues to go from strength to strength. As we move into the next stage of our growth strategy, we are acutely aware that what really sets apart airlines today is service and comfort. What we are now offering is new, unique and extraordinary.

“Two decades ago, the Gulf Air Five-Star Tri-Star service was renowned throughout the world, and we are now set to re-create that golden age of travel through this refurbishment,” he added.

Rich, deep-pile carpet extending right up to the entrance draws passengers into the sumptuous cabin, where warm ‘Arabian’ colours and the highest quality fixtures and fittings create a luxurious ambience in which just eight of Sogerma’s new state of the art Class 180 seats offering comfort and style.

In a ‘private cabin space’, the full recline capability offered by the Class 180 seats allows each seat to be transformed into a fully functional bed, complete with sheets and duvets, over-sized pillows, silk cushions, pyjamas, eye shades, and socks.

The ‘total sleep experience’ begins in a unique on-board changing room, enhanced by natural light from its own window. The spacious spa atmosphere is tastefully enhanced with a designer worktop; luxurious timber flooring and exclusive, trendy ‘spa-to-go’ Temple Spa products, for the ultimate pampering before bedtime.

The specially trained crew lay out pyjamas and slippers, hang clothes in a suit carrier – just like a personal butler would, and magically transform the seat into a luxurious, and private, bed space mellowed by ambient mood lighting which gives the cabin the feel of a five-star hotel room, rather than an aircraft cabin.

The finishing touches are provided by Sky chefs who offer bedtime snacks and hot drinks to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.

When the seats are returned to normal, they are still extraordinary. Finished with leather armrests, they have large head wings, offer lumbar support and individual power outlets, for laptop use. On-board entertainment is delivered via an impressive 15-inch flat screen monitor and high-tech, noise-cancelling headsets. Oversized tables create a comfortable space for work and dining.

Gulf Air’s ‘restaurant in the sky’ provides some of the finest dining in the skies with five star gourmet menus prepared on demand by the airline’s sky chefs.

The new cabin concept has been designed to allow a private companion dining option with space for up to four diners, who have access to 18 different menus and a world-class selection of vintage wines.

Traditional dining options are complemented by a stand up onboard buffet which offers a full range of drinks and snacks.

In Business Class just 24 ‘Evolys’ skybeds will be fitted, allowing 63 inches of leg room, and no middle seat. The latter employs a lounge-bed profile, in as much as it not completely flat; this ergonomic design has been ‘scientifically proven’ to provide a healthy and comfortable sleeping position for air travellers.

“The Business-Class seat design is different to the ‘Z’ shape design favoured by some carriers, which we don’t believe is the optimal design for sleeper seats. A sleep survey we conducted proves that our lounge profile provides a far better position for a good night’s sleep,” said Mr Hogan.

Space is the key word in the new Gulf Air Business Class; with a seat that moves within a pod, so when it reclines, there is no impact on the passenger behind. Extra space is provided for a laptop, and more attention than ever before has been given to space for personal storage – for shoes, glasses or bottles of water.

Each Evolys seat, finished in stylish timber, has its own privacy screen, and is adjustable in three ways while an advanced swivel type tray table, and adjustable armrests give up to two extra inches of space.

Careful attention to detail is also evident in mood lighting, calming colour schemes and luxurious carpeting to create a beautiful and calming environment.

Upgraded and stylish bathrooms offer a similar range of exclusive Temple Spa beauty products to first class, while sleeping on board is made even more comfortable by a new range of fleece-backed cotton blankets.

“Our aim now is to carry our previously unrivalled reputation for customer service excellence and innovation through into a new era,” concludes Hogan. “We believe the upgraded aircraft are expected to set new industry benchmarks for comfort, quality and service. This investment heralds a new era in passenger flights and place Gulf Air once again at the vanguard of modern aviation.

PIA has had to reroute flights to avoid Afghan airspace
Pakistan's flag carrier, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), is bracing itself for the fall-out from the terrorist attacks in the United States.

The airline was in financial difficulties even before the attacks.

Now the situation is set to get worse, both because of the global travel downturn and Pakistan's proximity to Afghan airspace.

Since the attacks PIA had to change many of its routes, because its aeroplanes do no longer fly over Afghanistan.

This has lengthened journey times to the United States and the United Kingdom by one hour, an expensive change to schedules.

Insurance costs are also up, as Pakistan's location compounds PIA's difficulties.

The increased tension in the region is a setback for an airline that only recently received a 20bn rupee bail-out package from the government, and saw its financial situation improve over the past few months.

To make things worse, it also faces demands for higher pay from pilots.

Potential problems

PIA's chief operating officer, Khursheed Anwar, told the BBC's World Business Report that the airline had not yet experienced a fall in passenger numbers.

However Mr Anwar believes this is due to the backlog of travellers, as many flights were cancelled immediately after the attacks.

"We feel that advance bookings may be cancelled in the month of October and that's when major problems could start," he said.

Mr Anwar said he did believe that the lifting of US sanctions against Pakistan would help PIA, and Pakistan business in general.

"We expect to see an improvement in traffic both in passenger and freight... and also we hope that our currency will stabilise and not depreciate as it has been doing in the past," he said.

FAA Misconduct and Paris DC-10 Disaster

Very few people remember, or even heard of, the deadly problems associated with the DC-10, the crashes, and the near crashes. Among the many problems with the aircraft were:

* Dangerous cargo door mechanism that resulted in an explosive decompression at high altitude when the cargo door suddenly burst open, causing the cabin floor to collapse downward and into the control cables, making the aircraft uncontrollable.

* Engineers knew of the problems and in one company memo an engineer wrote that in the life of every DC-10, an explosive decompression would occur and everyone would be lost. The response to that memo was that if anything was said now, the question arises as to who would pay for the corrective actions.

* The same FAA management in the Western Region, that FAA inspector Stich had repeatedly reported as captives of the industry they regulated repeatedly covered up for safety problems and even criminal safety violations that resulted in a continuing series of major airline disasters.

Only a very few insiders in the FAA knew of the documented misconduct that allowed major design problems to go uncorrected. After the most brutal of the DC-10 disasters, a plunge of a DC-10 into the ground near Paris, lawsuits were filed in the federal courts at Los Angeles. Because of the insider knowledge that former FAA inspector Rodney Stich possessed that showed the arrogance and corruption that resulted in that disaster, Stich filed a friend of the court brief, as shown by the following documents:

Order by federal judge barring Stich from providing information and documentation on FAA misconduct that made the Paris DC-10 crash possible. Another example of how the public never hears of the corruption in government, as the system protects itself. September 12, 1975. (Adobe PDF) This was another breakdown in the checks and balances that permitted the deep-seated corruption to continue, along with the crashes and deaths, of which the 9/11 aircraft hijackings were simply one-day's consequences.

Catastrophic Events Associated With
Standard U.S. Culture of Cover-Ups

The standard culture of cover-up associated with prior fraud-related airline disasters was followed after the latest DC-10 catastrophic disaster, making possible still more preventable airline disasters, including the hijackings of four airliners on September 11, 2001.

Catastrophic Events Made Possible by
Inbred American Culture and Enablers

All forms of human tragedies have been inflicted upon the people of the United States from the corruption discovered by the people behind this site−and made possible by enablers in and out of government. The below pictures are only a sampling of the consequences from the documented corruption that are able to be portrayed graphically. The tragedies in other areas resulting from the corruption, cover-ups, and public indifference, are not shown here.

United Airlines crash into New York City, the world's worst at that time. Withheld from the Amererica public were the reports by federal safety inspectors-investigators showing a continuing pattern of corruption, fraud, criminal alteration of major government required records−and the standard abuse of those few inspectors attempting to require the airline management to comply with industry standards and clear requirements of federal aviation safety requirements−and FAA management to require compliance. None of the guilty, the enablers, to these and the continuing fraud-related crashes ever were held accountable for the hundreds of deaths that they enabled to occur.

The possible interior of the world first VIP Airbus A380 aircraft has been revealed, featuring a 14 seat formal dining area, several lounge rooms with extra large LCD monitors, a stateroom, guest rooms, wet bar along with several VIP lavatories.



Picture 3 below of a lounge area is very interesting showing stairs going up to the top deck along with a guard rail for what may be a set of stairs going down which leads me to believe this area, normally used by airlines to transport cargo and checked baggage could be utilized for additional living areas.


The future owner of this extravagant outfitting is rumored to be Price Al-Walid, a member of the Saudi Royal family, who is believed to be worth an estimated US$29.5 billion, making him number 19th on the world’s richest list.



It is yet to be confirmed if Prince Al-Walid is the future owner of this extravagant A380 interior but considering the price has the only order for a private VIP Airbus A380, its highly likely this is his future outfitting.



Prince Al-Walid is no stranger to an excessive lifestyle, being the owner of a fully outfitted VIP Boeing 747, along with a US$500 Million Yacht, and over 300 cars including a diamond covered Mercedes SL600 with an estimated value of US$4.8 million.

crash China Airlines pics

Investigators in Japan claim they have found a hole in the fuel tank of a China Airlines plane that might explain why it burst into a fireball moments after landing. Thankfully, all 165 passengers and crew slid down emergency chutes to safety minutes before the 737 burst into fire after landing Monday at Naha Airport in Okinawa.

That is the good news. The odd news is that China Airlines has painted over its name and logo on the wreckage, apparently to limit further damage to its image. Doesn't whiting out your airline name actually attract more attention to your airline during these trying times? Anyway, let's be glad the cause of the accident was found and no one was hurt.

Turkish Airlines and B&H Airlines, has signed a reciprocal code share agreement in Sarajevo. Turkish Airlines had become a shareholder of B&H Airlines by acquiring 49% of its shares on December 22, 2008.

Turkish Airlines and B&H Airlines code share flights will begin as of 03 July 2009. With the commencement of code share flights B&H Airlines will place its flight code, JA, on Turkish Airlines’ daily flights between Istanbul and Sarajevo, and also Turkish Airlines will put its flight code, TK, on B&H Airlines’ six weekly flights on the same route. With Istanbul, the cross-roads of Europe and Asia, B&H Airlines passengers will be able to enjoy the convenience of Turkish Airlines’ wide network of connections. Turkish Airlines passengers will also be able to connect on B&H Airlines’ network to any of their domestic and international destinations.

B H Airlines images

On October 29, 2008 the government of Bosnia and Herzegovina officially named Turkish Airlines as the new strategic partner of the national carrier B&H Airlines marking the end to a successful privatisation. Despite Turkish’s desires to gain 51% of the airline and therefore become a majority share holder, the airline has made a compromise and has given in to the wishes of the Bosnian government, therefore holding 49% of the airline. Turkish will, at first, invest 5 million Euros in the purchase of new aircraft and will inject a further 5 million for the airline’s development. A new 100 seat jet aircraft should enter the fleet in the spring of 2009, most probably in time for the summer schedule which begins on March 29. By spring 2010 Turkish will add another new aircraft to the national carrier of Bosnia and Herzegovina brining the airline’s fleet size to a total 4. With 2 ATRs operating, two jet engine aircraft would be ideal for the small carrier. Turkish Airlines has agreed to keep all current workers employed in the airline, keep the airline’s name and its headquarters in Sarajevo.

Turkish Airlines is one of the world’s fastest growing airlines, expanding its fleet and destination network in recent years significantly. With a network of 140 scheduled destinations and a fleet size of 117 aircraft, Turkish Airlines has recently commenced a tender process for the purchase of another 105 aircraft until the year 2023 with another 30 options.

The airline’s first 737-400 – “Istanbul” – comes from Turkish Airlines which bought a 49% share of B&H Airlines last year.

B&H Airlines, the national airline of Bosnia & Herzegovina, recently took delivery of its first 737-400. Since the end of 2008 Turkish Airlines has owned a 49% share of the airline and the new addition to the B&H Airlines fleet has come from them. The rest of the fleet consists of two ATR 72-200s. With the arrival of the 737 several new “longer-haul” destinations will be launched from Sarajevo in the near future.

Destination	Start date	Days of operation
Copenhagen	11 May 09	Monday, Thursday
Gothenburg	13 May 09	Wednesday, Saturday
Stockholm Arlanda	16 May 09	Saturday
Vienna	18 May 09	Daily (except Saturday, Sunday)
Berlin Tegel	19 May 09	Tuesday, Saturday
Dűsseldorf	19 May 09	Tuesday, Saturday
Prague	25 May 09	Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday
Source: Airline website booking tool

The three Scandinavian routes and Dűsseldorf will use the new 737 while the ATRs will be used on the remaining services.

Apart from routes from its base at Sarajevo, B&H Airlines also operates scheduled flights between Banja Luka and Zurich, and Mostar and Istanbul.

Sarajevo now handles over half a million passengers

Last year Sarajevo Airport handled just over half a million passengers a small increase on 2005. B&H Airlines carried around 70,000 passengers and faced competition from a variety of carriers including Adria Airways (double-daily flights to Ljubljana), Austrian (double-daily flights to Vienna), Croatia Airlines (double-daily flights to Zagreb), JAT (daily flights to Belgrade), Lufthansa (double-daily flights to Munich), Malév (daily flights to Budapest) and Turkish Airlines (daily flights to Istanbul).

In addition, two LCCs (Germanwings and Norwegian) offer low-frequency connections to Cologne/Bonn, Oslo Rygge, Stockholm Arlanda and Stuttgart. There are currently no direct scheduled services to anywhere in France, Spain or the United Kingdom.

Up until now over 80% of Sarajevo’s traffic has been generated by airlines originating from somewhere other than Bosnia & Herzegovina.
