Chissà che gli fa l'aria del Sud Africa ai naviganti BA...

(un anno fa il Primo Ufficiale licenziato per essersi vantato di "coca e spogliarelliste" la sera prima del volo di ritorno)
Piú che altro sono i prezzi bassi dell’alcol, piú il fatto che i movimenti a JNB siano proibiti fuori dall’”enclave” in cui stanno i crew. A CPT lo stesso casino non succede mai, al massimo ci sono infortuni su Table Mountain.

Va però detto che questa storia, per come riportata dal Sun, non è propriamente corretta; per dirne una, il pilota non era sposato e la ‘rissa’ non c’è stata. E tante altre cose.

su e giu' sull'atlantico...
Questo si, però lo spostamento a QSR seconde me è relativo. Lo share shift è alla lunga possibile ma ad oggi secondo me è principalmente crescita organica della domanda. Napoli (anche come città) è allo stremo, il turismo con questi numeri non credo si fosse mai visto.
…Magari con la stagione autunnale le cose migliorano (sempre che a qualcuno non venga in mente di aprire piste da sci sul Vesuvio)…
si si, penso che con l'inverno le cose fisiologicamente si calmeranno, ad iniziare proprio dai circa 1000 pax che ogni giorno arrivano/partono per/da gli USA. Lo shift su QSR continuera' e pure in modalita' speed up, poi certo, NAP come struttura non si puo' allargare ed e' saturo.
Nel 2026 e' previsto il termine dei lavori e dunque la potenziale apertura della stazione metro CAPODICHINO, quello gia' fara' una differenza enorme in termini di spostamenti da/per la citta', giacche' colleghera' l'aeroporto con stazione e porto, decongestionando parecchio.

Attenzione che 2026 è la data di consegna dei lavori della stazione Capodichino. A maggio c'è stato un incidente sul cantiere della galleria che la raggiungerà e temo che quella data per la consegna della galleria non verrà rispettata, a causa delle lungaggini della magistratura.
Inoltre poi bisognerà attendere circa un anno, conoscendo i miei polli, per trovare i soldi in Comune per il prolungamento della linea da Tribunale a Capodichino. Prima del 2028 non si vedrà nulla IMO...

Firenze, Toscana.
C'è anche da ammettere che in Italia nel traffico aereo aeroportuale siamo un po incompetenti, sia per le varie leggi che per i sistemi radar antiquati.
Molto spesso capita che con un traffico in finale a 12 miglia la torre ci obblighi ad attendere al punto attesa, mentre all'estero (vedi STN) in 12 miglia ci mettono dentro 3 aerei..
Effettivamente a Firenze con traffico in finale a 12NM ti lasciamo al punto attesa! :p

Ryanair has apologised to its customers amid a number of delays and cancellations this week. In their latest travel update, the budget-airline wrote on its website that the reason for this is due to air traffic control (ATC) staff shortages and that they had no control over the situation.

Their apology comes after holidaymakers going to and from Brussels were told their flights may be disrupted. In a separate travel update, Ryanair warned customers: "Affected passengers travelling to/from Brussels South Charleroi on Fri 13 Sep have been notified via Email, Push and SMS about the cancellations of their flight due to local ground handling strike. We regret any inconvenience caused to passengers by this local ground handling strike, which is outside of Ryanair's control."


In their apology explaining the situation they say: "Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, on Fri 13 Sep apologised to its passengers for the excessive flight delays caused by European ATC staff shortages today Fri 13 Sep which is affecting all European airlines."

They further explain: "ATC services, which have had the benefit of no French ATC strike disruption this summer, continue to underperform (despite flight volumes being 5% behind 2019 levels) with repeated “staff shortages”.

"On Fri 13 Sep, 12% of Ryanair’s first wave departures (65 of 534 aircraft) were delayed due to ATC “staff shortages”. These repeated flight delays due to ATC mismanagement are unacceptable."

In their apology, the airline said: "We apologise to our passengers for these repeated ATC flight delays which are deeply regrettable but beyond Ryanair’s control. We encourage passengers to visit atcruinedourholiday.com and demand that the EU Commission take urgent action to improve Europe’s ATC system."

Chief executive Johan Lundgren said airlines being unable to disembark passengers because of congested terminal buildings is a "worst case" consequence of the Entry/Exit System (EES).

The EU Commission announced in August that EES would be launched on November 10, although a further update is expected to be made on Thursday.

The scheme was first proposed in 2016 but its introduction has been repeatedly delayed.

Under EES, travellers from non-EU countries such as the UK will need to have their fingerprints scanned and a photograph taken to register them on a database when they enter a member state, with the data stored for three years.

There are fears this will spark queues at EU airports, as well as the Port of Dover, Eurotunnel's terminal in Folkestone and London's St Pancras railway station, where French border checks are carried out before people embark on cross-Channel journeys.

In an interview at the annual convention of travel trade organisation Abta in Costa Navarino, Greece, Mr Lundgren said it is possible EES will cause airport terminals to be congested with arriving passengers waiting to be processed, leaving no room for additional travellers.

"In the worst case you actually can't disembark, you hold people on the plane," Mr Lundgren warned.

He said: "We have to think about what can actually happen."

Mr Lundgren predicted "there will be some disruption" from EES as "it is a new procedure".

He called for the launch to be further delayed unless it is possible for travellers to pre-register before beginning their journeys.

A mobile app enabling this to happen is still being developed by the EU.

Neil Swanson, who was appointed UK and Ireland managing director for tour operator Tui last month, predicted there "could be some hiccups" with EES, and urged the Government to take more action to ensure holidaymakers are prepared.

He said: "We will absolutely be looking after our customers, we will be making sure they're aware.

"But I think the Government should be doing a bit more as well to make sure that everyone's aware of what the situation is."

Abta said its travel trade members are eager to find out more information about EES.

A recent virtual briefing it hosted on the issue attracted more than three times the usual number of industry attendees.

Asked if he believes there is significant knowledge about EES among UK holidaymakers, Abta chief executive Mark Tanzer replied: "No."

He went on: "It's frustrating that there will be delays for customers. Nobody wants that.

"Because we haven't had a clear date for when this is going to commence, we haven't really been able to start detailed communication yet."

In August, the Department for Transport announced £10.5 million of funding for UK ports where juxtaposed border checks are conducted to support new facilities and technology to deal with EES.
