The management of Tuzla Airport said the following: "We have agreed not to go public until we receive official confirmation of everything that was discussed. We have held the meeting and expect a proposal for an agreement to be made, which will be followed by further steps.

Photo gallery: Nuremberg airport beekeepers

They neither need permission from the tower to take off, nor do they need to be guided by follow-me vehicles: Around 120.000 honey bees buzz around the outside areas of Nuremberg's Albrecht Dürer Airport and make a valuable contribution to environmental monitoring. They are looked after by Isabella Gebhard and other volunteers who actually have completely different jobs at the airport. The airport has been practicing so-called biomonitoring since 2003. Indicators are determined with the help of the hard-working honey collectors by analyzing honey and pollen and checking for possible background contamination. A team of hobby beekeepers takes care of the airport's own colonies. Isabella Gebhard and Oliver Königsdörfer have been reinforced by Mario Paulick and Oliver Beckmann since the beginning of the year. They are supported by former airport beekeeper Erwin Schmidt, who has been retired since 2021 and has been caring for the bees for years.

Last minute: From 27 euros one way on vacation

guest Author August 9, 2023 09:08

A few days ago, the summer holidays also began in Bavaria, the last German state. This means that the whole of Germany is now on summer holidays - albeit only for a short time. To mark the occasion, the travel company Skyscanner has analyzed which are currently the most popular travel destinations, how vacationers can avoid peak prices and mass tourism in August, and where there are still cheap last-minute flights. The most popular travel destination for Germans in August is Spain, followed by Turkey, Greece, and Italy. This means that the classic beach destinations are at the top of travelers' lists this summer. But the USA is also in the top five as a long-haul destination. In addition to the classic travel destinations, underrated destinations are also currently gaining in importance. Slovakia has increased significantly in the past 28 days and is therefore clearly in line with the trend in flight searches, with an increase in search queries of almost 136 percent, Belgium with 121 percent, and Poland with almost 118 percent compared to the previous month**. This shows that vacationers are also open to new travel destinations this summer - be it due to the prices or the urge to discover something new. A recent survey by Skyscanner confirms this trend: According to the survey, 94 percent of Germans are open to traveling to underrated or lesser-known destinations, with more than half (58 percent) saying that they would be willing to swap their favorite vacation destinations for an alternative option if it meant they could save money. How can I find cheap flights on the spur of the moment? German travelers expect flight costs of €189 per person for their summer vacation in

33-year-old B737: Voyage Air returns only aircraft

Amely Mizzi August 9, 2023 08:32

For many years, the Bulgarian airline Voyage Air had to struggle to get into the air. It only succeeded in 2020 with an old Boeing 737-500. Just a year later, it ceased operations, only to take off again in the summer of 2020 with an even older Boeing 737-400. Now the only aircraft has been retired. Voyage Air's AOC and operating license are currently temporarily suspended. The carrier applied for this from the Bulgarian Civil Aviation Authority at the beginning of this year and received permission in March 2023. For the time being, it is not allowed to operate commercial flights for at least six months at its own request. It was last in the air in September 2022. Voyage Air was founded in 2007. It has been trying to get approval as an airline since 2009. It only managed to get into the air in 2020. At that time, a Boeing 737-500 registered as LZ-TER was used. This aircraft was originally delivered to China Southern Airlines in 1992. But the Bulgarian carrier was not permanently successful, as just one year later it had to temporarily pause flight operations. In the summer of 2022, Voyage Air was back in the air with the Boeing 33-737, which is now over 400 years old and has the registration LZ-PRS. The original plans to set up a base in Bremen were even revived, but this ultimately did not happen. This aircraft, which was leased, has now been returned to the lessor. Whether there will be a new lessee for the oldie

After many delays: Nigeria Air is scheduled to take off in October 2023

Amely Mizzi August 9, 2023 07:36

After years of delays, the time is set to come in October 2023: Nigeria Air is to start flying with an initial fleet of eight aircraft. Ethiopian Airlines has a 49 percent stake in the new company. Its managing director, Mesfin Tasew, announced a few days ago that Nigeria Air's initial fleet will consist of six narrowbodies and two widebodies. The new carrier will serve both the local and international markets. The majority of the shares are held by companies from Nigeria and the Nigerian Sovereign Fund. The state has a five percent stake. The new company is quite controversial. Due to a lawsuit by the national airline association, the launch has been delayed several times. Azman Air, Air Peace, Max Air, Topbrass Aviation and United Nigeria Airlines accuse the government of opening up the domestic market to Ethiopian Airlines through the back door, so to speak. It is believed that the economic survival of the existing airline could be in danger. Tasew recently expressed confidence that, after several delays, Nigeria Air will actually be able to take off in October 2023. The project was first presented in 2018 during the Farnborough Air Show. At the time, it was announced that the company wanted to grow to 30 aircraft within five years. So far, however, it has not been able to carry out a single flight.

Amely Mizzi August 9, 2023 07:07

The unions Vereinigung Cockpit and Unabhängige Flugbegleiter Organisation put forward joint candidates for the first time in the recent elections of employee delegates to the supervisory board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG. They were able to win three seats on the supervisory board. The delegate conference for the election of employee representatives recently elected Arne Karstens, CFO of VC and deputy spokesperson of the Group Collective Bargaining Commission on the union list, as well as UFO board member and former Lufthansa Collective Bargaining Commission spokesperson Sara Grubisic and the Lufthansa captain and experienced staff representative Tim Busse (VC) on the employee list to the supervisory board of Deutsche Lufthansa. "We would like to thank the workforce for their enormous support, with whose help we were able to get a large number of votes for the flying staff. Our declared goal is to stand up for all employees and for a successful and sustainable future for the Lufthansa Group," says UFO Chairman Daniel Kassa Mbuambi happily. "We would also like to congratulate Jamila Jadran from the Future Group Community, with whom we have already agreed on a cooperation that is planned as a long-term collaboration beyond the supervisory board. With her in-depth knowledge of processes on the ground and in technology, she is an excellent addition to our team," continued Kassa Mbuambi. "We would also like to congratulate all the other elected members and look forward to good and close cooperation for the benefit of all group companies and employees. The challenges can only be mastered as a strong community and our elected supervisory board members will consistently use their expertise for a strong aviation group in which a good product is only possible with appreciation for the work done," concluded Lars Frontini, VC board member.
