Si conclude con un lieto fine la polemica tra la Ryanair e l'Enac, l'Ente Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile, sui documenti necessari per l'imbarco a bordo. La compagnia irlandese non sospenderà nessun volo domestico relativo all'Italia e acetterà tutti i documenti di identità riconosciuti dalle autorità italiane: passaporti, carte d'identità, ma anche tesserini emessi dalle amministrazioni statali, purché siano equiparabili ad una EU/EEA National Identity Card.

Asia Pacific's two leading low cost, low fare airlines, Jetstar and AirAsia announced today they would form a new alliance that would reduce costs, pool expertise and ultimately result in cheaper fares for both carriers.

Jetstar is a subsidiary of Quantas, flying to more than 50 destinations across Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific. AirAsia is the largest low cost airline in Asia, serving more than 60 destinations and further afield including London, through their long-haul affiliate carrier, AirAsiaX.

easyJet, UK low-cost airline, today announced it would launch a further 21 new routes in the coming year, taking the total number of routes to be launched across its European network in 2010 to 70.

The addition of these new services means the airline will now offer choice of over 500 routes connecting its 19 bases across the UK and the continent to key airports across Europe and North Africa.

Vueling ha abierto 5 nuevas rutas desde España y ya se puede hacer reservas de vuelos que empiezan a operar en febrero/marzo.

La línea low-cost española sigue trabajando para dar nuevos y mejores servicio a los españoles y a los esxtranjeros que quieran visitar España.

Qatar Airways announced on 27 December 2009 that it will be adding Copenhagen and Barcelona to its summer schedule which begins at the end of March 2010.

The announcement follows months of industry speculation over the Doha-based carrier's plans to launch two new unnamed European destinations.

News of the two route announcements comes just days after Qatar Airways unveiled plans to launch flights to Bengaluru (Bangalore) in southern India, the Turkish capital Ankara and Japan’s capital city of Tokyo over an eight-week period starting in February 2010. The airline also plans to launch flights to Sydney during 2010, its second Australian destination, having already started flying to Melbourne in December 2009.

Commencement of four weekly flights to Copenhagen, the capital city of Denmark, will see the airline significantly increase its Scandinavian presence. Qatar Airways currently serves the neighbouring Swedish capital Stockholm non-stop from Doha, a route launched two years ago.

Copenhagen as Denmark’s largest city, is a major regional centre of culture, business, media and science. With the largest airport in Scandinavia, Copenhagen ranks as a popular hub for regional headquarters of large international companies. Last year, Copenhagen was singled out as the Most Liveable City in the World by leading international lifestyle magazine, Monocle, and is also considered one of the world’s most environmentally friendly cities.

Barcelona will become Qatar Airways’ second city served in Spain, after Madrid, when daily services commence to the popular Mediterranean port city. The new route underscores a growing commitment by the airline to the Spanish market following earlier capacity increases to the country’s capital city of Madrid.

As Spain’s second largest city, Barcelona is a popular tourist centre on the Mediterranean coastline. It is home to one of Europe’s main ports and has a thriving economic base due largely to its importance in finance, commerce, media, entertainment, arts and international trade.

Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said: “The addition of the European cities of Copenhagen and Barcelona, along with Ankara which we announced a few days ago, follows the airline’s strategy to expand its operations to diverse and underserved cities from the Gulf.

“By adding these three cities to our route network, we are demonstrating our commitment to expanding our presence in Europe and introduce new travellers to our award-winning Five-star services, as well as provide our existing passengers with even more destinations and convenient travel options.

“The airline’s business model continues to prove successful and Qatar Airways is looking forward to yet another eventful year, with 2010 shaping up to being one of our busiest,” he added.

AirBerlin, la seconda compagnia aerea della Germania inizia ad operare dall’Aeroporto Amerigo Vespucci di Firenze. Dal 28 marzo 2010 sarà possibile volare ogni giorno con Air Berlin da Firenze a Stoccarda, la sesta città tedesca. Il vettore leader Italia Germania inizia così ad unire due aree di grande importanza culturale, amministrativa ed economica, ugualmente interessanti per turisti e viaggiatori d’affari.

Ryanair, la compagnia aerea low-cost, oggi (23 dicembre) ha annunciato che cesserà di operare temporaneamente le rotte domestiche da/per le 10 basi italiane, Alghero, Bari, Bologna, Brindisi, Cagliari, Milano (Bergamo), Pescara, Pisa, Roma (Ciampino) e Trapani, a partire da sabato 23 gennaio 2010, in seguito all’ingiunzione sollevata da Ryanair contro le ordinanze dell’ENAC.

Secondo Ryanair, le ordinanze "obbligano Ryanair ad accettare svariate e non sicure forme di identificazione per i passeggeri che viaggiano sulle rotte domestiche di Ryanair, anche se questi documenti di identità sono costituiti da niente più che licenze di pesca".

Da quando Ryanair opera con il check-in online al 100%, è obbligatorio per la sicurezza di tutti i voli Ryanair, che tutti i passeggeri di Ryanair acconsentano al momento della prenotazione, di presentare o il passaporto o la carta di identità al gate d’imbarco prima di salire a bordo del proprio volo. Queste procedure di sicurezza sono sempre andate avanti in modo soddisfacente per molti anni su tutte le 1.000 rotte di Ryanair sia per i voli domestici che per quelli internazionali in tutta l’Unione Europea.
