On Vueling flight: doctor and nurse save passenger's life

Jan Gruber September 22, 2023 08:31

On Vueling domestic flight VY3068, the crew made a loudspeaker announcement asking any doctors and/or nurses on board to please come forward immediately as a passenger was in acute medical emergency. A doctor from Andalusia and a nurse jumped into action and were apparently able to save a woman's life. For a variety of reasons, medical emergencies do occur on board commercial aircraft from time to time. Although cabin crew are trained in first aid, they often also need the expertise of doctors and trained nurses. That is why in emergencies the crew use the loudspeaker to ask whether there is a doctor or nurse on board. On Vueling flight VY3068, the sick lady was very lucky because not only were both on board, but they also intervened as a team and carried out resuscitation measures. The doctor and the nurse who assisted him managed to stabilize the woman sufficiently that she could be handed over to the emergency services at Gran Canaria airport after landing. They took her to a hospital for further treatment. The other passengers who were able to observe the incident cheered and congratulated and thanked the doctor and nurse for their successful fight for the sick woman's life. It should also be noted that the plane was on its way from Malaga to Gran Canaria and the medical emergency occurred at a time when the destination airport was the one that could be reached as quickly as possible. Had this not been the case, it can be assumed that

Austria: Summer overnight stays have exceeded pre-crisis levels

Amely Mizzi September 22, 2023 07:34

Austrian accommodation providers had more customers in the first half of summer 2023 than in the same period before the corona pandemic. The number of arrivals was one percent higher and at the same time there were two percent more overnight stays. This shows that there were 3,2 percent more domestic tourists and 1,5 percent more international guests. However, the slow decline in inflation and the deteriorating economic outlook dampened the mood over the course of the year, so that the balance for the whole of 2023 could fall somewhat short of expectations. After the Austrian tourism industry had to accept significant declines in guest arrivals and overnight stays in the pandemic-hit years of 2020 and 2021 (overnight stays in 2020 -35,9%, 2021 -47,9% compared to 2019), an upswing phase began last year that continued in the first half of 1. In contrast to arrivals and overnight stays, the price-adjusted turnover of the tourism industry has not yet reached the pre-crisis level. According to an estimate by the WIFO, nominal turnover from May to July 2023 was 2023% higher than the comparable figure for 14,5, but real revenues remained 2019% lower. The guests' renewed desire to travel was therefore accompanied by a reluctance to spend. Although almost all tourism regions, including cities, were able to benefit from the recovery in demand, the Alpine regions were particularly successful in the first half of the summer: overnight stays in these regions were on average 11,7% higher than the comparable period in 3,6. Due to climate change, these regions can also expect increased demand in the coming years.

Wizz Air is positive about the planned SAF regulation

Jan Gruber September 22, 2023 07:05

Low-cost airline Wizz Air is positive about the planned EU regulation on the use of SAF fuels. Some network carriers are critical of the plan, fearing that it will put them at a competitive disadvantage compared to non-EU airlines. "As Europe's leading airline in terms of reducing emissions intensity, Wizz Air has supported the proposal for the ReFuelEU aviation regulation from the outset. The European Union sets standards in global climate policy and the ReFuelEU legislation sets mandatory minimum proportions of SAF that must be blended with conventional aviation fuel. The adoption of these mandates will increase the supply of SAF, which is crucial for improving the availability and cost of SAF. Wizz Air has already started preparing for the upcoming EU mandates by entering into partnerships with SAF manufacturers and making our first capital investments in SAF research and development. We see industry collaboration in developing alternative fuels as one of the most impactful ways to address the current climate change challenge and we remain committed to reducing our carbon intensity by 2030 percent by 25. It is crucial that national governments now consider incentives to enable the increase in production,” explains Yvonne Moynihan, Corporate and ESG Officer Wizz Air.
