Air Transport Industry - MSN Encarta The air transport industry encompasses flights of common carriers (government-certified companies that offer cargo and passenger services to the public) and general aviation (private aircraft used for recreation or business). In 1910 the air transport industry was established in Germany when regular air service with gas-filled airships called dirigibles began to provide service between cities. Air service within Europe flourished, and by the 1930s government-sponsored airlines were operating well beyond Europe to numerous European colonies in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761552091/Air_Transport_Industry.html   (1161 words)

Air Transport may consist of either scheduled or non-scheduled services, the latter are often referred to as charter flights. During the Second World War immense strides were made in the development of transport aeroplanes and by 1943 it became apparent to the major allied powers that air transportation was now capable of playing a significant role in world social and economic development after what appeared to be the inevitable defeat of Germany and Japan. homepage.ntlworld.com /r_m_g.varley/Air_Law.html   (7136 words)

NBAA Frequently Asked Questions: Can I act as PIC of an aircraft on an international flight if I’m 60 or older? ICAO defines "scheduled air service" as "an air service open to use by the general public and operated according to a published timetable or with such a regular frequency that it constitutes an easily recognizable systematic series of flights" (source: "Manual on the Regulation of International Air Transport — Doc 9626"). "Air transport operation for remuneration or hire" is equivalent to "commercial air transport operation" that is defined by ICAO as "an aircraft operation involving the transport of passengers, cargo or mail for remuneration or hire" (source: Annex 6 — Part I, International Commercial Air Transport — Aeroplanes). In practice, it means that pilots over 60 years of age can fly as pilot-in-command in scheduled international air services or non-scheduled international air transport operations for remuneration or hire only if they are authorized by the State which has issued the licence and by each State whose airspace is used during the flight. web.nbaa.org /public/ops/faq/cache/107.html   (731 words)
