The Covid-19 aviation bailout should benefit workers, not offshore billionaires - Donnachadh McCarthy writes. We should invest in training unemployed workers to participate in a new green economy that will protect rather than destroy Britain’s future.

BESSIE COLEMAN ғɪʀꜱᴛ ʙʟᴀᴄᴋ ᴡᴏᴍᴀɴ ᴀᴠɪᴀᴛᴏʀ (1892 - 1926) After being rejected from the American aviation schools due to her ethnicity and factors that sorrounded the early 1900s, Bessie Coleman took the long road toward accomplishing her goal of flying by first teaching herself to speak fluent French and then applying to the Caudron Brothers' School of Aviation in Le Crotoy, France. She received her international pilot's license on June 15, 1921 from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, becoming the first black woman to earn a pilot's license, before returning home to the states to dazzle her early critics with a career as a stunt pilot and aerialist. #womenaviators #aviators #aviationnews #aviationdaily #aviations #africanaviators #africanaviation #airrwanda #kenyaairways #airtanzania (at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD9Gtz7h53A/?igshid=b8jjd2yfbtan

The World Economic Forum's Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report 2019 ranks Rwanda No. 31 in Safety & Security, putting it ahead of developed nations like the U.S., the U.K. and Germany. Comparable in size to Belgium and with a population of a little over 12 million, the small inland country located a few degrees south of the Equator is known as "The Land of a Thousand Hills Small in size but big in attractions, Rwanda specializes in epic adventures. The country is a champion of conservation-based tourism and offers many feel-good experiences. It is the only place in the world where explorers can hang out with King Kong lookalikes (the mountain Gorillas). The rush of emotions when gazing into the bright amber eyes of a 500-pound silverback, hearing them grunting and growling, and watching the shenanigans of baby gorillas is an incredible experience and worth every penny. 🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍 @moaviations (at Virunga Lodge (Volcanoes Safaris)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD10VSQBSmF/?igshid=b8ykr4b2yb2b

African Aviation Sector ‘At Risk Of Collapse’ If Pledged Money Doesn’t Reach Carriers African airlines are set to lose $2 billion in 2020 and the continent’s industry is “at risk of collapse” without more urgent financial relief, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The governments of Sub-Saharan Africa Rwanda, Senegal, Côte D’Ivoire and Burkina Faso have pledged a total of $311 million in direct financial support to air transport. A further $30 billion has been promised by some governments, international finance bodies and other institutions including the African Development Bank, African Export Import Bank, African Union and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for air transport and tourism. However, much of the relief is yet to reach those in need due to institutional bureaucracy, complex application and creditworthiness processes, as well as cumbersome conditions to secure finance, IATA said in a statement. “Over USD 30 billion in financial support has been pledged to aviation and tourism in Africa,” said Muhammad Albakri, IATA’s regional VP for Africa and the Middle East. “Some of this money has been allocated by governments, but far too little of it has reached its intended recipients. “Governments and lenders need to urgently unchoke the bottlenecks so that the money can flow quickly, otherwise it will be too late to prevent closures and job losses. “There will be no point re-opening the borders and skies if there is no industry left to speak of that is capable of supporting trade and tourism, which are the key components of any thriving economy.” So far, Benin, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, Senegal and Tanzania have allowed or announced the imminent resumption of scheduled international passenger flights. Combined, they account for 19% of passenger traffic on the continent. Travel and tourism contributes $169 billion to Africa’s economy and represents 7.1% of the continent’s GDP. #Africanaviation #Africanairlines #aviationmagazine #Africanpilots #africancrews #aviation #pilots #flightattendants #cabincrew #travellers #ugandaairlines (at African Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDk9sd6hbiM/?igshid=ukgphmr1x0mx

UGANDA: The return of the East African Regional Airlines: Airlines have started picking up the pieces after a long lockdown. They are putting in a fight to hit up the skies amid uncertainty. Some countries in the region are still closed out to external flights and certainly there is no guarantee when they will open or if they open, they won’t close again. In Uganda, passenger flights, apart from chartered ones and those carrying cargo, are still suspended.Definitely, operations for many airlines at Entebbe, Uganda’s only international airport, are dependent on when the airport will re-open. Uganda Airlines, unlike other regional airlines, has not put a date on when it will be flying again. Apart from chartered flight, the national flag carrier, according to Perez Ahabwe, the Uganda Airlines chairman, resumption of commercial flights is dependent on only and when government opens up the airspace and if destination countries are open to air traffic. Kigali and Nairobi will resume international passenger travel on Saturday or August 1 while Dar es Salaam and Juba have been open for close to a month now https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=131756621900495&substory_index=0&id=107656524310505 In Kigali passenger flights will resume on Saturday to a “select African routes where borders are open”, perhaps minus Uganda, just like in Kenya, where the government had already lifted the ban on internal flights https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=139508327791991&substory_index=0&id=107656524310505 In all the chaos surrounding aviation, the saviour lies in how fast the tourism sector picks up the pieces. Tourism is a major source of revenue for not only Uganda but Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania http://www.glossy-adventures.com https://comforttour.pro/en/climbing-kilimanjaro-5895-m-marangu-route This means that the aviation sector will, both in the short and long term, need tourism to return from the buttered state it currently finds itself in.
