Solicitan intervención presidencial para mejorar conectividad aérea interregional en norte chileno
August 11, 2015
Con motivo de la suspensión que por razones económicas, tanto Lan Airlines como Sky Airlines hicieran de sus vuelos entre Arica e Iquique y Antofagasta, la corporación de Desarrollo de Arica y Parinacota (Cordap), solicitó la intervención de la Presidenta de la República Michele Bachelet, para que ambas aerolíneas reanuden sus vuelos interregionales entre aquellas localidades.
Como razones aducen lo largo que se torna viajar por tierra entre dichas ciudades, haciendo que un viaje que por vía aérea normalmente no tarda más de media hora, por tierra pueda superar entre las cinco y las diez horas, con las molestias que ello causa especialmente a las personas ancianas o enfermas.

Un notorio incremento en las medidas de seguridad se ha podido apreciar en el aeropuerto Arturo Merino Benítez de Santiago, después del robo que ya hace casi un año se perpetuara en dicho terminal aéreo y que reportara a sus ejecutores un cuantioso botín.

GULFSTREAM G500 COMPLETES FIVE FLIGHTS
August 11, 2015
Two Additional Aircraft Preparing For Flight
SAVANNAH, Georgia, August 10, 2015 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today announced that the Gulfstream G500 has completed five test flights since it first took to the skies on May 18.
During more than 15 hours of flying, the aircraft achieved a top speed of Mach 0.80 and a maximum altitude of 38,500 feet/11,735 meters. The aircraft’s longest flight was more than four hours.
Over the past several weeks, the aircraft has been undergoing planned modifications in preparation for returning to flight later this month.
“The first five flights exceeded our expectations,” said Dan Nale, senior vice president, Programs, Engineering and Test, Gulfstream. “And they demonstrated that our testing facilities on the ground are having very real benefits in the air, allowing us to identify and address issues before they’re ever seen in flight.”
Gulfstream announced the G500 and G600 family of aircraft on Oct. 14, 2014. Programs for both aircraft are progressing well. As the first G500 flight-test article undergoes modification, two more are preparing for flight and a fourth is in production. Additionally, the first G600 flight-test aircraft has begun the initial stages of production.
Together, the two programs have completed more than 36,000 hours of lab testing, and both the G600 integration test facility (ITF) and the G600 Iron Bird are now operational. The engines for the G500 and G600, the PW814GA and the PW815GA, respectively, were certified by Transport Canada in February.
The G500 and G600 offer an optimized combination of speed, wide-cabin comfort and efficiency providing best-in-class performance with advanced safety features.
The G500 has a range of 5,000 nautical miles/9,260 kilometers at Mach 0.85 or 3,800 nm/7,038 km at Mach 0.90, while the G600 can carry passengers 6,200 nm/11,482 km at Mach 0.85 and 4,800 nm/8,890 km at Mach 0.90. The maximum operating speed for both aircraft is Mach 0.925, the same maximum speed as Gulfstream’s G650 and G650ER.
The G500 and G600 also include Gulfstream’s all-new SymmetryTM Flight Deck, the most advanced, stylish, comfortable and intuitive flight deck in business aviation. The cutting-edge technology comes in the form of active control sidesticks (ACSs), integrated touchscreen controllers, next-generation enhanced vision system (EVS III), and Honeywell Primus Epic avionics.
The G500 and G600 cabins maximize comfort, with an industry-leading cabin altitude of 4,850 feet/1,578 meters at FL510 and 100 percent fresh air that boosts mental alertness and productivity while reducing fatigue.
Gulfstream anticipates certification of the G500 in 2017, with entry into service in 2018. The G600 certification is slated to follow in 2018, with entry into service in 2019.
