A week in Haiku<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, the haiku \u2013 that classic Japanese poetry form of 5-7-5 syllables \u2013 is the only discipline that allows you to reduce things to what really matters, and nothing else.  This week, the week that was, felt like one of those weeks.  So, we look back at what was released, what was said and what it means, as pithily as it is possible to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday<\/strong> saw EASA and Eurocontrol put out two joint reports<\/a> on how they are monitoring emissions and a handy guide to how to reduce emissions.  Together, this deserved a review:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emissions go down?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EASA-Eurocontrol<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch how your flying<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday<\/strong> there was a report<\/a> from EC sponsored rail research group EU Rail, published a new report noting that given infinite money, rail could be in a position to be a competitive threat to airlines for European travel.  All we need is more spending on high speed rail, natch\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europe\u2019s trains need money,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then competition is afoot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rail industry says\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday had also seen Rome Airport sponsor an event in the Parliament about sustainability for aviation.  Subscribers to the Aviation Intelligence Reporter<\/em> will get further insight on that meeting (so, ask yourself, why not subscribe here<\/a> and learn more), but there was a discussion, for some time, on whether we should go with carrots and sticks, or just carrots.  The Chair of ACI Europe, Javier Marin, then gave the welcome address at a n ACI Europe new year reception on Wednesday.  <\/strong>Carrots were mentioned<\/a> again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love carrots, yes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do.  We hate sticks, tho\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we love carrots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One group not in need of additional carrots is the business aviation community, that had, what can only be described as a pretty good pandemic.  WINGX, which monitors biz-av movements put out its weekly report<\/a> on Thursday<\/strong>, noting, with dismay, that traffic had fallen back to 2019 levels.  Imagine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Biz-Av alone<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demand like 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is bad, not good, see?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday <\/strong>was quieter.  All that condensing takes a toll.  But nobody sleeps in the Council, which released its views<\/a> on a proposal to harmonise data on short term accommodation.  Not that the Council will need it, of course, given that they never sleep.  Are we trying to regulate AirBnB?  At least finding a consistent way to categorise and count them would be a good start, if you ask the Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Count short term bed night<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rentals; we need harmony<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not just from next door!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other poetry forms are available of course.  Iambic pentameter is a favourite.  Brussels seems very well suited to Norse Sagas too.  All contributions welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
