Inadequate ground access can undermine #airport capacity & efficiency. This was acknowledged as soon as 1977 by the Senate Cmte on Appropriations. Lear more about airport access with our ACRP Research Report 269: buff.ly/bL6s37R. ✈️ #airports #airtravel #engineering #infrastructure #paxex @trb.org

With seemingly unlimited funding, the Cold War gave rise to a freaky menagerie of exciting warplanes, some charismatic, utterly daft or downright evil. Here are 10 cool (or utterly batshit) Cold War planes: hushkit.substack.com/p/insanely-c...

Aviation = Tanzania’s growth engine.

✔️ USD 3.8 billion to the economy (4.8% of GDP)
✔️ 711,000 jobs across the value chain
✔️ 29,800 tonnes of #aircargo

To keep 🇹🇿 flying high, the focus must be on #safety, competitive costs, and training for the future 👇

Does your terminal project warrant moving walkways? An APM? Something else? Or nothing else? The newly released ACRP #Research Report 269 consolidates existing guidance and goes farther with a simple, integrated decision-making tool: buff.ly/vZN0D0t. ✈️ #airports #airtravel #aviation #mobility #paxex

Good interview with IAG CEO Luis Gallego in Spanish daily El Pais.

TL/DR: a potential TAP deal would give IAG a big boost in Brazil; Qatar Airways is IAG's main into-Asia strategy for now; and he is unconcered with Turkish's investment in Air Europa.
Luis Gallego (IAG): “La portuguesa TAP encaja mejor con nosotros que en Lufthansa y Air France-KLM”
El consejero delegado del grupo de Iberia y British Airways cree que no tendrá escollos en Bruselas como los que frenaron la toma de Air Europa

What do CAVs mean in terms of driving? Can they all share the same roads with less-automated vehicles? What are their #infrastructure implications? And what about #safety? What's an autonomous vehicle? 🤔 We provide some answers here: buff.ly/PIYJZr6. 🚗🤖 #automatedvehicles #cavs #mobility @trb.org

That’s not what he said. He said the money for Essential Air Service routes will run out but that has absolutely nothing to do with ATC.

What will happen is after that first paycheck is missed, and this applies to ALL federal workers, the mental toll of financial uncertainty becomes a huge problem.

In 2014 we recovered the last Me 262 prototype (S-21) near Arnhem. It was shot down by German troops who didn’t know what it was: A plane this advanced must be Allied.
The same day they mentioned a new revolutionary German fighter in the evening newspaper, a few hours too late🫠

Indeed, and the removal of the tempo RW 5-23 markings left some light scarring that is still there (see Google Earth). ✈️ #airports #aviation #engineering

Temporary runways like this require a lot of prep, operational safety provisions, and situational awareness all along. Ref. crash of SQ006 at TPE in 2000. ✈️ #airports #aviation #safetyfirst

Yes, other commercial #airports have done it in the past, including OAK and SFO. ✈️ #aviation #engineering #safetyfirst

This does appear to be the case, aircraft are landing and departing on the parallel taxiway. I don't know if I've ever heard of something like this happening with commercial aircraft before.
