New American Planes Give Foreign Carriers Serious Competition

For years now, profitable foreign-based airlines have offered newer, more luxurious aircraft than their U.S.-based competitors. But finally, the remaining legacy U.S. airlines are stepping up their game to compete with foreign-based carriers. You can experience this new world of air travel on American’s new Boeing 777-300ER. It’s a really cool ride on the 777-300ER, which currently flies, or will soon fly from, New York JFK, Dallas/Fort Worth and Los Angeles to London Heathrow, and both New York JFK and Dallas/Fort Worth to Sao Paulo. And lest you think that the goodies are confined to business and first class only, a ride on the 777-300ER will dispel that quickly. All cabins have new inflight entertainment and WiFi. But not just any entertainment or WiFi. The programming is amazingly extensive and hip, and the WiFi works domestically, as well as internationally.

Emissions Deal May Not Come Before EU Deadline

Hope is fading for a global deal to regulate the airline industry’s greenhouse gas emissions ahead of a September deadline. Last November, the European Union (EU) suspended its controversial Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) to force all airlines to buy carbon credits for any flight arriving in or departing from European airspace. The scheme pitted European states against China, India, the United States and others, who said it violated their sovereignty. The EU said it had to act, after more than a decade of inaction on the environmental impact of aviation. European officials gave the United Nations’ agency that governs aviation, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), more time to craft a compromise in the form of a global-regulatory regime. European officials have vowed to bring the ETS back into force unless they see real progress by the ICAO assembly, which runs Sept. 24 to Oct. 4. But there is still disagreement on how to charge for emissions from flights that cross borders; how to deal fairly with developing countries; and whether airlines, states or both should be subject to regulation. All those issues have stalled efforts to reach a compromise.
