Singapore Airshow
Thoughts and Impressions

It's our pleasure using the trade pass to visit the Singapore airshow 2014. This event is the Asia's biggest for aviation’s finest, different international organizations have joined this event such as famous aircraft manufacturers --- Airbus and Boeing.
We enjoyed the aerobatic flying display on the third day of the trip which is the opening of the airshow. Many fighter aircraft such as F16, black eagles flew in high speed, some of them even flew faster than sound. We were so proud of those fighter pilots since the training of those fighter pilots is very harsh. They need to rotate 180/360 degree to fly which make pilots feel dizzy and feel the force of gravity. It is not an easy task for everyone.
On the other hand, we visited the static aircraft display. There were a lot of different types of aircraft not just the aircraft used for transport purpose but also the helicopter, fighter aircraft, tank. We boarded the F16 fighter aircraft and A350. It was so amazing to emplane A350 before it launch to the public. The staff of the Airbus Company explained a lot of information about the A350 and they let us know more about this aircraft which has widened our horizons. Although the sunshine was very strong in the display area and everyone got sunburn, it is worthwhile to visit the airshow.

The last day of the trip we could participate in the airshow. We felt excited and ruefulness that we can visit Gulfstream’s stand, with 5 operating business jet models, because this was the first time we really get into a real business jet and may be it is the last time that we could sit on the luxurious sofa We were separated into 2 groups to look around the business jets in the stands, based on the request of the crew of each aircraft. We felt deeply impressed by the crew on board, their speeches can be easily understood and they answered our questions accurately. However our group thought it would be a great and fruitful ending for the trip if

    Southwest’s relentless commitment goes beyond the lip service most companies uphold. From line level to the C-suite, everyone works hard to ensure customers feel they are the center of attention. Flight crew routinely exceeds passengers’ expectations to the point it has become routine. Attendants feel encouraged to be creative. They feel their duties entail not just standard tasks, but going further to ensure customers are entertained or engaged in other ways that would ‘infect them’ with Southwest’s positive energy. Senior management does its part by, for example, doing everything to keep prices as low as possible low and using fees for special services only as a last resort.…

    I made my way hesitantly into the pilot seat, Matthias got into the co-pilot seat, and Roman in the backseat. Matthias gave me only a brief explanation of all the instruments, few things I should really focus on through flight, and how to lift-off – he would take over to land the plane. Everything was happening so quickly. We lift off, not smoothly, but successfully.…

    The museum that I chose to visit for this assignment is the Palm Springs Air Museum. I visited the museum on March 22nd with a few of my friends. I had arrived at the Museum with the intent that I was going to write about one of their many aircrafts. However, it didn’t end up being so simple, for I was delighted to come across an overwhelming array of options. Surprisingly, I was most interested by the historical displays rather than the aircraft. They provided an incredible amount of information about historical aeronautical events ranging from aerial combat situations to very unique events such as “The Piggyback Flight.” In addition, they also have displays commemorating numerous historical figures and groups. One of these…

    “Passengers flying Flight QF563, your gate is now open for boarding”, I peacefully sipped what remained of my coffee and waited for Joshua to finish his bacon and egg roll. Shortly after, we began to make our way to our designated gate. The smell of low-priced takeout food filled the air and couldn’t help, but leave me feeling overly excited. My son and I navigated our way through the clustered crowds of other keen travellers, following the signs above our heads as well as the announcements that were played through the speakers at the airport.…

    Paul Poeezny Aviation

    Paul Poberezny changed the aviation world with a simple act: building an airplane of his own design, the Pober Pixie, and publishing plans for it in an early 1950s article in Popular Mechanics. Just back from the war, the Wisconsin resident couldn’t afford to buy an airplane, so he decided simply to build it himself. The idea took off like wildfire, and soon there was a groundswell of interest in aircraft homebuilding. Soon after that Poberezny began organizing fly-ins of a few airplanes at his local airport, annual events that within the next 20 years turned into the largest gathering of airplanes in the world, which is today known as AirVenture and held in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Poberezny’s passion for grass roots aviation inspired millions…

    Founded by the discount airline veteran David Neeleman in 2000, JetBlue Airways has quickly become one of the largest discount airlines in the United States. Starting primarily by serving the East Coast, the airline has since expanded throughout the country and entered the international market. The reasons for its early success are numerous: JetBlue entered the market with one of the largest levels of liquidity of any start-up airline; it met the needs of customers’ whose primary concerns are price and route; and it successfully defined its brand and differentiated itself from competitors by offering an above average customer experience and amenities for a discounted price. They are offering fares with the “point to point” system. JetBlue´s business-level strategy is therefore a mix of cost-leadership and differentiation. David Neeleman’s idea behind JetBlue was to start a company that combined the low fares of a discount airline carrier with the comforts of a small cozy den in people’s homes. His vision involved both business and leisure customers to have cheap and affordable flights throughout the United States and abroad on newer aircraft that are not only comfortable, but are equipped with modern entertainment options, and a customer centric business model which makes customer service a number one priority. In contrast to its competitors, for example, JetBlue offers fares up to 65% lower but added comfort features such as assigned seating, leather upholstery and satellite TV on individual screens in every seat. Moreover, they are practicing a “get-to-the-destinations-at-all-costs” culture, which makes it their declared aim never to cancel a flight. JetBlue Airways does not operate to a traditional mission statement; rather, it operates to a set of core values: Safety, Caring, Integrity, Fun, and…

    When I think back on some of the flights I’ve taken, it’s not the movies on that teeny little screen that are memorable. It’s the views of the world below me that stay in my mind, like the time we passed over the Great Blue Hole, off the coast of Belize. I’d always imagined it much larger, but that didn’t diminish the beauty of the perfect deep blue circle surrounded by gem-toned Caribbean water just below my window.…
