Super thrilled to see Archer making waves in the eVTOL space! Having just received the prestigious Part 135 Air Carrier & Operator Certificate from the FAA, Archer has taken a monumental step towards revolutionising urban air mobility. This sets the stage for the commercial launch of their eVTOL aircraft, Midnight, in collaboration with airlines like United Airlines! This milestone is not just about advancing air travel; it’s a validation of the potential of eVTOL technology globally, especially here in Africa. Imagine cities across our continent, from Lagos to Nairobi, experiencing reduced traffic congestion and improved connectivity thanks to sustainable air taxi services. eVTOLs are poised to transform the transportation landscape, offering efficient, eco-friendly travel solutions that can also bridge gaps between urban and rural areas. Some exciting points about eVTOLs are that: - They are a sustainable and green mode of transportation - They enhance urban mobility and reduce traffic on the streets - They improve connectivity for remote regions - They offer economic growth through new technology adoption - With lower noise emissions (than helicopters), they lend themselves to myriad use cases where noise can be a hindrance, such as wildlife monitoring or military applications Africa is on the brink of an EV-based transportation revolution, and eVTOLs are poised to disrupt this space. As we celebrate this achievement by Archer, let's also look forward to the incredible possibilities this technology holds for the future of flying sustainably across our beautiful continent. #eVTOL #SustainableFuture #UrbanMobility #Archer #ArcherInc #Innovation #AfricaRising #FutureOfTravel #GreenTransportation #EVinAfrica

Did you know that the first African-American flight attendant in the United States was Ruth Carol Taylor? She was hired by Mohawk Airlines in 1958! She played a significant role in breaking racial barriers in the airline industry.

This insightful read came just in time for a day on airplanes and in airport lounges. Thanks to Don Cooper for introducing me to Bill Stinnett’s work. I’m finding much of his approach to #digitalsales enhancing my work in #executivepresence. What does it mean to demonstrate executive presence digitally as well as F2F? What do you think?

The U.S. Department of Transportation has published the rules for the new beyond-perimeter (1,250 miles) slot proceeding at Washington Reagan National Airport. Four slot pairs are for incumbent carriers American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines; and one pair is for limited-incumbent carriers Air Canada and Alaska Airlines. It would seem Spirit Airlines is out. This is what airlines have so far said publicly they will seek: • Alaska - 1 pair for San Diego • American - 1 pair for San Antonio • Delta - 1 pair for Seattle • Southwest - 1 pair for Las Vegas (with continuing same-plane service to Sacramento) • Spirit - 1 pair for San Jose Applications are due by 8 July. #airlines https://lnkd.in/d4RWnSPa

“This week marks more than 240 days since our stale and outdated contract expired,” said F/O Charlene Hudy, [Air Canada Pilots] Air Canada ALPA Master Executive Council (MEC) chair, during the event. “Air Canada has the opportunity to recognize our value by making important improvements to our contract, which must include closing the significant wage gap between the United States and Canada. If they fail to do so, we all will lose, and Air Canada will no longer attract and retain the pilots they require.” In January, ALPA and Air Canada entered into a mediation protocol agreement with a professional mediator to facilitate negotiations. This is the final week of negotiations scheduled under the protocol agreement. Since entering the mediation protocol agreement, the two parties have been successful in reaching some agreements, however, numerous items remain outstanding. With only days left in mediation, Air Canada pilots are sending a unified message to management that it’s time to deliver a world-class contract they have earned. “We’ve heard Air Canada’s ambitious growth plans during their recent quarterly financial updates. Ambitious airline growth plans require a strong and engaged pilot group, because without pilots who are valued, there is no growth plan,” said Hudy. https://lnkd.in/gkG4QXYa #worldclasscontract #aircanadapilots #canada #aviation ALPA Canada

Did you know the Kansas City International Airport moves more air cargo each year than any air center in a six-state region? According to KC SmartPort, KCI ranks as one of the best locations for air cargo and distribution development in the United States. #aircargo #industrialrealestate #kansascityrealestate #kansascity
