The association says airlines can reduce their fuel consumption by 25% through new aircraft technologies, better air traffic control and more direct routes. But Green Vision's ultimate goal is to see zero-emission aircraft flying by 2050 -- a goal some analysts call unrealistic. "The real progress in fuel economy and environmental performance is going to come from advances in engine and airframe technology," says Richard Aboulafia, a senior vice president at the Teal Group. The Vancouver Sun (Canada)/Canwest News Service (10/14) Oct 14, 2008 Embraer, London City Airport Embraer has scheduled a range of E-190 flight trials at London City Airport for 1 November with a view to securing steep approach certification for the type by late 2009. Aircraft operating into London City Airport must perform a 5.5° approach, and manufacturers must demonstrate capability for an approach of up to 7.5°. Embraer is planning to certify two of its four-member E-Jet family for London City operations. The E-170 secured its approval last summer and the larger variant was slated to follow suit by the first quarter of 2009 under plans which were detailed at a pre-Farnborough air show media briefing in June. It appears that timelines for certification of the larger family member have slipped. Speaking at the European Regions Airline Association (ERA) General Assembly in the UK city of Manchester, Embraer senior VP for Europe, Middle East and Africa Luiz Fuchs said: "The Embraer 190 will be certified [for London City operations] by the end of next year, in the last quarter of 2009." Oct 13, 2008 Thomsonfly, Coventry Airport Thomsonfly is axing its services from the regional Coventry Airport, ending major scheduled airline flights from the Midlands city. Its withdrawal is a decisive blow to Coventry's development plans, coming in the wake of similar abandonment by budget carrier Wizz Air, and a court ruling blocking construction of a new terminal. Thomsonfly, which operates to several European and Mediterranean destinations from Coventry, will end outbound flights on 2 November. "With an increased focus on charter holiday flights, there is now a growing need for our aircraft on these routes and consequently our scheduled operations at Coventry Airport will regrettably terminate," says Thomsonfly managing director Chris Browne.
