La comisión especial que trata del nuevo Código Brasileño de Aeronáutica se reúne el jueves (22) para la lectura del informe del senador José Maranhão (PMDB-PB) sobre el Proyecto de Ley del Senado (PLS) 258/2016

El proyecto cambia competencias y reglas administrativas del Código de la Aeronáutica (Ley 7.565 / 1986), además de garantizar derechos del consumidor y de empresas prestadoras de servicios aéreos. Los conceptos, sanciones, participación de capital externo, nuevas disposiciones sobre retraso de vuelos, reglas sobre el balonismo y acciones en caso de accidentes aéreos también estarán en el nuevo código.

Los trabajos del colegiado, presidido por el senador Vicentinho Alves (PR-TO), se basaron en el anteproyecto de la Comisión de Expertos de Reforma del Código Brasileño de Aeronáutica, creada en junio de 2015 y que actuó por nueve meses. Con 374 artículos, el anteproyecto del nuevo Código de la Aeronáutica elaborado por la comisión fue transformado en el PLS 258/2016, ahora analizado por la comisión especial de senadores.

La comisión, que reunió ingenieros, juristas y expertos del sector aéreo, fue instalada en junio de 2015. Las sugerencias del grupo fueron consolidadas en un informe elaborado por la profesora Maria Helena Rolim, maestra en Derecho e investigadora en el área de estrategia espacial.

El texto establece desviaciones en órganos de fiscalización y regulación, además de una serie de exenciones al aeropuerto. También equipara beneficios a los servicios de taxi aéreo a los que ya se conceden a las líneas aéreas, como medidas que lleven a la ampliación de las compañías y, consecuentemente, al aumento de la competencia, con la expectativa de que mejoren la atención a los consumidores.

La propuesta establece además que el intercambio de aeronaves sólo podrá hacerse con tripulación brasileña. Este procedimiento ocurre cuando una empresa extranjera se queda con una aeronave parada en suelo nacional, a la espera del vuelo de vuelta y, en ese período, una empresa brasileña usa el avión, conforme contrato. Para que el intercambio ocurra, el texto exige que los tripulantes sean brasileños, debido a las repercusiones en la legislación laboral de nuestro país. Otra sugerencia aceptada en el texto retiró la exención de pago de tasas para las aeronaves experimentales y deportivas. La reunión está prevista para las 9:45, en la sala 15 del Ala Senador Alexandre Costa. 

Report of the new Brazilian Aeronautical Code should be presented on Thursday

The special commission that deals with the new Brazilian Aeronautical Code meets on Thursday (22) to read the report of Senator José Maranhão (PMDB-PB) on the Senate Bill (PLS) 258/2016

The project amends the powers and administrative rules of the Aeronautical Code (Law 7,565 / 1986), as well as guaranteeing rights of the consumer and airlines providing air services. Concepts, sanctions, foreign capital participation, new provisions on flight delays, rules on ballooning and actions in case of air crashes will also be in the new code.

The work of the collegiate, chaired by Senator Vicentinho Alves (PR-TO), was based on the preliminary draft of the Commission of Experts of Reform of the Brazilian Code of Aeronautics, created in June of 2015 and that acted for nine months. With 374 articles, the draft of the new Aeronautical Code prepared by the commission was transformed into PLS 258/2016, now analyzed by the special commission of senators.

Chaired by Aviation Law Professor and Airman Georges Moura, the commission, which brought together engineers, lawyers and experts from the air sector, was set up in June 2015. The group’s suggestions were consolidated in a report prepared by Professor Maria Helena Rolim, Law and researcher in the area of ​​space strategy.

The text establishes exemptions in supervisory and regulatory bodies, as well as a series of exemptions to the aeroport. It also equates benefits to air taxi services to those already granted to airlines, as measures that lead to the expansion of airlines and, consequently, to increased competition, with the expectation that they will improve customer service.

The proposal also establishes that the exchange of aircraft can only be done with Brazilian crew. This procedure occurs when a foreign company stays with an aircraft stopped on national soil, waiting for the return flight, and in that period, a Brazilian company uses the airplane, according to contract. For the exchange to occur, the text requires that the crew be Brazilian, due to the repercussions in the labor legislation of our country. Another suggestion accepted in the text removed the fee waiver for experimental and sporting aircraft. The meeting is scheduled for 9:45 am in Room 15 of the Senator Alexandre Costa. A\W

A comissão especial que trata do novo Código Brasileiro de Aeronáutica reúne-se na quinta-feira (22) para a leitura do relatório do senador José Maranhão (PMDB-PB) sobre o Projeto de Lei do Senado (PLS) 258/2016

O projeto altera competências e regras administrativas do Código da Aeronáutica (Lei 7.565/1986), além de garantir direitos do consumidor e de empresas prestadoras de serviços aéreos.

A proposta estabelece ainda que o intercâmbio de aeronaves só poderá ser feito com tripulação brasileira. Esse procedimento ocorre quando uma empresa estrangeira fica com uma aeronave parada em solo nacional, à espera do voo de volta e, nesse período, uma empresa brasileira usa o avião, conforme contrato.

No menos de 26 aerolíneas han interrumpido el proceso de adquisición del certificado de operador aéreo (AOC) sobre condiciones estrictas establecidas por la Autoridad de Aviación Civil de Nigeria (NCAA), se ha revelado.

Esto es justo cuando la NCAA desaconsejó insinuaciones en algunos sectores que algunas compañías aéreas pidieron prestado aviones para completar su proceso de certificación.

El portavoz de la NCAA, Sam Adurogboye, reveló que había cinco fases que pasó una aerolínea antes de completar el proceso de certificación y muchas aerolíneas vacilaron en el camino.

Fases

Existe la fase previa a la solicitud cuando la aerolínea hace una investigación sobre los procesos, seguida de la fase de cumplimiento del documento, que involucra a un equipo de certificación revisando los documentos del solicitante para la aceptación / aprobación del cumplimiento.

Los otros son el proceso AOC, también llamado fase de demostración e inspección, que implica la evaluación por un equipo de certificación y la demostración del solicitante de la evaluación del cumplimiento de la eficacia de la gestión, inspección de las estaciones, operaciones de vuelo, mantenimiento y registros.

El siguiente es llamado fase de certificación que permite al operador que se propone la aprobación de AOC y especificación de operación con la coordinación con el director para la supervisión de seguridad y DG NCAA.

En el caso de Omniblu Aviation Limited, la aerolínea obtuvo su certificación AOC en 2015 y, como en la actualidad, haciendo referencia al documento NCCA ya la especificación operacional Omniblu, Omniblu tiene cinco helicópteros y tres aviones en su AOC – HS123-850XP (5N-SPL); Challenger 604 (N880ET); Y Boeing 737 Carguero (5N-IZB).

Terminaciones

Los operadores que han terminado sus procesos AOC son Servicios de Soporte Jet, Air First (abandonado desde 2015) llegó a la segunda etapa. Air Taraba, Air Jupiter, Aeroespacial Continental, Jet Leasing Support, Quórum Aviation, Arctie Tropical, Xejet, Revillo estaban en la tercera etapa.

Glory Airlines, Dominion Air Limited, Mounthill Aviation Resources Limited llegó a la fase uno hasta que estancó los procesos.

Otras en fase exploratoria son Air Stream Aviation, Baltic Airlines, Millennium Travels and Tours, Nueva Okada Air, Onedot Aviation, Oriental Airlines, Prime Air Services, Private Airline Services y Trebet Aviation Aerospace Nig. Limitado.

Permanente de su suelo

Adurogboye dijo que la NCAA había mantenido sus bases consistentes en mantener su política «estricta» de otorgar a los operadores aéreos de intención el AOC de importancia.

NCAA también incluyó un mínimo de 50 horas de vuelos de demostración para los operadores que se proponen. Se espera que un operador en la industria de la aviación del país vuele vacío con miembros de tripulación completa y inspectores NCAA por un mínimo de 50 horas.

La última etapa es cuando el transportista que pretende llevar a cabo vuelos de demostración de 50 horas que la NCAA incluyó para garantizar que el solicitante podría llevar a cabo operaciones programadas con todas las normas de seguridad sin compromiso.

Como parte de los requisitos, se espera que un operador que tenga la intención de contar con personal suficiente con la experiencia requerida para el tipo de operaciones solicitadas, aeronaves de aeronavegabilidad, adecuadas para el tipo de operaciones solicitadas, sistemas aceptables para la capacitación de la tripulación y el funcionamiento de la aeronave (Manual de operaciones).

El director gerente de Med-View Airlines, Alhaji Muneer Bankole, elogió a la NCAA por asegurar el cumplimiento de los requisitos. 

NCAA certification process, 26 airlines fail to complete

No fewer than 26 airlines have discontinued the process for the acquisition of the air operator certificate (AOC) over stringent conditions set by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), it has been revealed.

This is just as the NCAA debunked insinuations in some quarters that some airlines borrowed aircraft to complete their certification process.

Spokesman of NCAA, Sam Adurogboye, disclosed that there were five phases an airline underwent before completing the certification process and many airlines faltered on the way.

Phases

There is the pre-application phase when the airline makes enquiry about the processes, followed by the document compliance phase which involves a certification team reviewing applicant’s documents for compliance acceptance/approval.

The others are AOC process, also called demonstration and inspection phase, which involves evaluation by a certification team and applicant’s demonstration of compliance evaluation of management effectiveness, inspection of station(s) facilities, flight operations, maintenance and records.

The next is called certification phase which allows the intending operator for approval of AOC and operation specification with coordination with director for safety oversight and DG NCAA.

In the case of Omniblu Aviation limited, the airline got its AOC certification in 2015 and as at today, referencing the NCCA document and Omniblu operational specification, Omniblu has five helicopters and three aeroplanes on her AOC – HS123-850XP (5N-SPL); Challenger 604 (N880ET); and Boeing 737 Freighter (5N-IZB).

Terminations

The operators that have terminated their AOC processes are Jet Support Services, Air First (abandoned since 2015) got to stage two. Air Taraba, Air Jupiter, Continental Aerospace, Jet Leasing Support, Quorum Aviation, Tropical Arctie, Xejet, Revillo were in stage three.

Glory Airlines, Dominion Air Limited, Mounthill Aviation Resources Limited got to phase one until they stalled the processes.

Others in exploratory phase are Air Stream Aviation, Baltic Airlines, Millennium Travels and Tours, New Okada Air, Onedot Aviation, Oriental Airlines, Prime Air Services, Private Airline Services, and Trebet Aviation Aerospace Nig. Limited.

Standing its ground

Adurogboye said NCAA had consistently stood its grounds in maintaining its ‘strict’ policy of granting intending airline operators the all-important AOC.

NCAA also included a minimum of 50 hours demonstration flights for intending operators. An intending operator in the country’s aviation industry is expected to fly empty with full crew members and NCAA inspectors for a minimum of 50 hours.

The last stage is when the intending carrier carries out 50 hours demonstration flights which the NCAA included to ensure that the applicant could carry out scheduled operations with all the safety standards without compromise.

As part of the requirements, an intending operator is expected to have sufficient personnel with the required experience for the type of operations requested, airworthy aircraft, suitable for the type of operations requested, acceptable systems for the training of crew and the operation of the aircraft (Operations Manual).

Managing director of Med-View Airlines, Alhaji Muneer Bankole, lauded the NCAA for ensuring compliance with the requirements. A\W

Legal Symposium 2017 of IATA

Legal Symposium 2017: Antitrust and the value chain. Airline distribution, credit card policies, and the OEM aftermarket discussed by panel in Washington DC

A Plenary Panel on antitrust concentrated on three main areas of contention: airline distribution; credit card policies; and the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) aftermarket. Ian Giles, Partner, Norton Rose Fulbright, led the discussion on the OEM aftermarket. The Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) sector is worth more than $60 billion annually, he said, with the cost to airlines escalating well above the rate of inflation. Giles explained that range and performance rather than MRO costs are necessarily the main influences on aircraft choice

In 2016, IATA become a complainant in an investigation being conducted by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Competition into alleged abuses of dominant positions by manufacturers of aviation equipment.

Giles explained that range and performance rather than MRO costs are necessarily the main influences on aircraft choice. But an airframe often comes with a single choice of engine and components.

In such a case, airlines are effectively locked into long-term deals with these suppliers as well as the airframe OEM. The fact that fleet is not renewed often, reduces airlines’ bargaining power further.

Giles pointed out that IATA’s aim is not retribution, but rather to rebalance airline-OEM relationship so that competition can thrive and airline costs are lowered. A\W
