Hi all, Came across this blog entry in flight International's blog about randy's blog (boeing VP for marketing). I guess for airbus when problems come, they come from all directions. Iam sure starting a blog would be a least priority for them vis-a-vis the problems they face. Anyhow, iam not being b...

Hi all,

Does anyone have info on the total annual revenues of all commerical airlines combined for the year? My estimate is to be more than 200 Billion dollars.

Any info on this respect would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Does any one have any material or a link with respect to the branding of airline interiors. How different and difficult is it to brand and market an interior of an aircraft vis-a-vis other products available on the ground. More on the lines of advertising/marketing based information.

Thanks.

Hi, Does anyone have an idea as to the number of commercial aircraft which are currently in operation world over. Also if anyone could provide a break-up of such commercial aircraft numbers based upon how far away they are from retirement. (Egs Aircrafts to be retired in 10 yrs.... Aircrafts to be r...

LOL....

What i meant was cameras which are installed in the cabin area which are used for monitoring passengers in the cabin. Such video would be played live to the pilot in the cockpit so as to monitor activities in the cabin area [More on the lines of CCTV i guess]. I believe few airlines have installed t...

Could anyone provide information as regards whether video cameras are installed onboard aircraft both in the cabin and cockpit side. Which airlines have installed them? Which are the companies that manufacture such cameras?

Any literature on this front would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks guys, for such informative posts.

Article on the aviation market, and yea has a thing or two about Emirates. Good topic Vinnie.

Does anyone have an idea as to whether Fiber optics is being used in commercial aviation as such, if it is, then where does it find its application. I have come to know that Fiber optics is likely to be used for cabin lighting. Fiber optics being a much lighter and more reliable medium can also be u...

Can the regular In-seat power supply system on board aircraft can be used for recharging all kinds of personal electronic devices like iPods, blackberry, PDA's etc. I guess the difference is only in the adapters being used or is there any difference in the power cords as well.

All you wanted to know about the iPod.

The link is to an Indian website, so the prices of iPod are given in Indian Rupees.

this is an amazing device, I see this for the first time. However it is obviously not intended for pagssenger's use but for the cabin crew. Yea its Lufthansa Technik's Innovation engineering product called NICE. its primarily intended for business and vip jets. But i think they are planning to brin...

Don't long-haul planes have power outlets for portable computers? Sure these could feed your ipod too? Or is it only in business class? Yea long haul planes do have power outlets and i think its available across all the classes including economy, but these power outlets are predominantly available ...

The other day i was talking to an official from an In-seat power supply company, and he said that for entertainment on board he uses the ipod than the other IFE (Inflight Entertainment) systems available. I thought that was a remarkable insight into the future of entertainment, onboard. With iPod vi...

Found the stuff humorous.

Do airline seats have a history as such, I mean how they evolved into their present being....??? Is there any background information which would throw some light as regards how are the present airline seats and how they will be in the future?.

Thanks.

At a time when 47% of the US airline capacity is operating under bankruptcy, the fuel prices being at monumental heights, the lost cost carriers [LCC] with their no-nonsense model have become a pain in the balance sheet of legacy carriers, what do you think you will do as a CEO of a legacy carrier t...

VC-10 there is lot of of engineering commonalities between an aircraft and automotive OEM. But the level of complexities is what which differentiates and makes them a not-so comparable fraternities. So i have genuine doubts as regards how right is it to say that what is correct and works for an VW w...

Thanks lastrow for the reply. I would be glad if anyone could discuss the airline interior lighting as it is today in aircraft. Yes, LED's are likely to make a positive difference or atleast seem like to make, but as regards the present state of interior lighting its pretty much fluorescent based. f...
