Santiago, July 30, 2014 -. LAN, member of LATAM Airlines Group, and Qantas, both members of the oneworld airline alliance, reinforced their codeshare agreement and will begin offering flights within Oceania and South America.

Santiago has been a key gateway for our customers since we started flying there in 2012. This development will strengthen its prominence as hub for onward connections, offering the additional customer benefits of a codeshare service – more opportunities to earn frequent flyer points and luggage checked straight through to their final destination”.

Boeing Forecasts Rising Demand for Commercial Pilots and Technicians
July 30, 2014
1.1 million new airline pilots, technicians needed worldwide over next 20 years
Asia Pacific, Middle East show strongest demand, most rapid growth
OSHKOSH, Wis., July 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Boeing (NYSE: BA) is forecasting continued strong growth in demand for commercial aviation pilots and maintenance technicians as the global fleet expands over the next 20 years.
Boeing’s 2014 Pilot and Technician Outlook, released today at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, projects that between 2014 and 2033, the world’s aviation system will require:
533,000 new commercial airline pilots
584,000 new commercial airline maintenance technicians
“The challenge of meeting the global demand for airline professionals cannot be solved by one company or in one region of the world,” said Sherry Carbary, vice president, Boeing Flight Services. “This is a global issue that can only be solved by all of the parties involved—airlines, aircraft and training equipment manufacturers, training delivery organizations, regulatory agencies and educational institutions around the world.”
The 2014 outlook projects continued increases in pilot demand, which is up approximately 7 percent compared to 2013; and in maintenance training, which increased just over 5 percent. Pilot demand in the Asia Pacific region now comprises 41 percent of the world’s need, and the Middle East region saw significant growth since last year’s outlook due to increased airline capacity and orders for wide-body models which require more crew members.
Overall, the global demand is driven by steadily increasing airplane deliveries, particularly wide-body airplanes, and represents a global requirement for about 27,000 new pilots and 29,000 new technicians annually.
Projected demand for new pilots and technicians by global region:
Asia Pacific – 216,000 pilots and 224,000 technicians
Europe – 94,000 pilots and 102,000 technicians
North America – 88,000 pilots and 109,000 technicians
Latin America – 45,000 pilots and 44,000 technicians
Middle East – 55,000 pilots and 62,000 technicians
Africa – 17,000 pilots and 19,000 technicians
Russia and CIS – 18,000 pilots and 24,000 technicians

Alza registra tráfico aéreo entre Chile y Brasil
July 29, 2014
Según cifras proporcionadas por la Junta de Aeronáutica Civil, durante junio pasado el tráfico aéreo entre Chile y Brasil registró un incremento de un 37,9 %. Cifra que sin duda estuvo motivada por el desarrollo del campeonato mundial de fútbol en dicha nación sudamericana, lo que llevó a elevar la cantidad de vuelos, principalmente hacia Sao Paulo y Río de Janeiro de manera de atender la demanda de pasajeros.
Otro trayecto que exhibió alzas fue Santiago – Miami, siendo los destinos que mayores alzas acumuladas registraron Buenos Aires y Lima.
En el ámbito nacional, los destinos preferidos fueron Santiago – Antofagasta y Santiago – Temuco.
Piden aplazar apertura del aeródromo de La Araucanía
July 29, 2014
Sectores ligados a las comunidades mapuches aledañas al nuevo aeródromo de La Araucanía, cuya apertura al uso público está contemplada para el martes 29 de julio, con el respaldo del Consejo Regional de La Araucanía, han solicitado a la Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil que se vuelva a posponer el inicio de sus operaciones aéreas.
Petición que se enmarca en la situación de inestabilidad existente en la Novena Región de Chile y que con respecto al campo aéreo se basaría en falta de cumplimiento de algunas condiciones que se habría contraído con las comunidades vecinas al aeródromo al iniciarse su construcción.
Enstrom Obtains Certification of Garmin® G1000H™ Integrated Flight Deck
July 28, 2014
Menominee, MI/July 28, 2014 — Enstrom is pleased to announce that the Federal Aviation Administration has certified the Garmin G1000H all-glass, integrated flight deck for installation in its 480B helicopter model. The new configuration will be designated the 480B-G.
“This program is a significant milestone for Enstrom as we continue with future developments in our product line offerings” said Tracy Biegler, Enstrom President and CEO. “Every department in the company pulled together to make this happen. My congratulations to Garmin and Enstrom teams in accomplishing this huge task.”
The 480B-G is now one of three helicopters in the world—and the only helicopter in its class—to offer a G1000H Integrated Flight Deck System. “Combining the G1000H with the safety and handling qualities of the 480B make this an exceptional helicopter for anything, including personal use, police work, and training,” according to Bill Taylor, Enstrom’s Director of Engineering. “We partnered with RSG Aerodesign during the design phase, and that really helped get the project moving. We would not have been able to accomplish this in the time we did without their support early on.”
The G1000H reduces pilot workload and presents all critical flight and engine information at a glance, thereby increasing simplicity, safety, and situational awareness. “We are excited to bring this technology into the helicopter market,” said Orlando Alaniz, Director of Sales and Marketing at Enstrom. “It is a logical addition to our line of aircraft designed for safety, performance, and innovation.”
The first 480B-G is already in production and will be delivered to the customer in the near future.
