Back to business as usual after largest worldwide disruption of air traffic ever
It has been an extraordinary week for all of us. Never before in the airline history aircraft stayed on the ground for so long and air traffic was completely disrupted worldwide.
Almost all travellers have already arrived at their destination and CWT, as well as other (business) travel companies worldwide, is nearly operating under normal conditions. We continue to work closely with the major airlines and other suppliers to get things in order as quickly and effectively as possible.Our incoming call volume is still above average. Where needed extra staff is in place to assist your company and its travellers if necessary. Should any further disruptions to our usual level of service occur, please rest assured that this is only temporary. We are doing everything within our abilities to minimize the inconvenience to you and your travellers.
All of us at CWT have been most appreciative for your patience and understanding over the last week, and we would like to thank you for your continued confidence in our company and its people.
United States and European Union about to extend airspace
The United States (U.S.) and the European Union ( EU) are about to further extend their airspace for each other airplanes. European airlines, for example, can carry more freight within the U.S. and vice versa. European Commissioner Siim Kallas (Traffic) announced, after discussion with the transport ministers of EU countries on Thursday (March 11), that he expects an agreement this spring.
The United States and the European Union have already decided in 2007 that airplanes mostly are allowed to fly freely between the U.S. and EU. The new agreement will further opened this door.
Objective in particular is the possibility for European companies to invest more in U.S. aviation companies. The U.S. wants to have more information about the sound standard restrictions for night landings in Europe, particularly at the Frankfurt airport.
