Cooke’s remuneration package is $875,000 per annum, including superannuation, subject to review. DJ/NZ to boost Tasman VIRGIN Blue and Air New Zealand have detailed a number of routes on which they will boost frequencies if their trans-Tasman alliance is approved. In a 110-page supplementary submission to the ACCC enquiry into the pact, they say they will operate year-round daily Perth- Auckland services and double daily services between Brisbane and Wellington. Double daily services would also operate between the Gold Coast and Auckland during the peak season, as well as double dailies between Sydney and Wellington and daily summer flights between Melbourne and Wellington. The submission, which aims to overturn the draft ACCC decision rejecting the deal, also indicates a strong focus by Virgin Blue on corporate accounts, with QF currently carrying more than 40% of business travellers on the Tasman compared to Virgin Blue’s share of just 6.6%. Air New Zealand says that the growing dominance of Qantas/ Jetstar means that “the only commercially and financially viable option that enables Air NZ to effectively compete in the Australasian market is to form an alliance with Virgin Blue”. And the submission points out a wide range of public benefits of the alliance, which will be “valued by all passengers” such as increased frequencies and better connections which in turn will stimulate passenger numbers. The carriers also say they will implement a “joint tourism strategy” to promote new Australian destinations for both NZ travellers and long-haul int’l visitors, “particularly dual- destination tourists”. MEANWHILE, Tourism Tasmania has also made a submission endorsing the DJ/NZ alliance. Acting ceo Rowan Sproule said the joint venture could lead to new opportunity for New Zealand visitor growth, through new codeshare services to Hobart and Launceston. Sproule said benefits of the deal (schedules, capacity, reciprocal loyalty schemes, etc) could lure leisure and business travellers “who may have thought travel to Tasmania was just a bit difficult due to the need to change airlines mid journey.” Trafalgar at Leisure TRAFALGAR Tours is set to announce a brand new product for its 2011 European tours, that claim to offer guests significantly more freedom and flexibility, Travel Daily can reveal. The ‘At Leisure’ program offers minimum stays of 2-3 nights on average, “substantial free time”, complimentary hop on/hop off city sightseeting and access to Trafalgar’s expert Tour Directors.

Jayson Westbury

I AM writing this weekrsquos column from Geneva as I am attendingthe PAPGJC meeting which is the forum for global dialoguebetween IATA airlines and the travel agency community It is clear that one of the big issues for the industry is thedeadline that is just a few weeks away - for the new mandatoryrequirements implemented by the US Department of HomelandSecurity (DH) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)known as Secure Flight Passenger Data (SFPD) You would have heard a lot about this and AFTA has sent manycommunications around along with all the airlines that fly to theUSA about what is required - but herersquos a quick recap Secure flight is the system that collects the data for watch listmatching of passengers travelling to from over or within the US It enables pre-screening of passenger information before arrivalat the departure airport and identifies known and suspectedterrorists through a watch list matching process with the aim ofenhancing the security of air travel in the US Effective 01 November 2010 airlines flying to and from the USare required to provide specific passenger data (SFPD) 72 hours inadvance the full name of the passenger date of birth and genderare mandatory and must be provided within the booking Travel agents therefore become responsible to ensure that thisdata is collected and there is great discussion about how this is anextra requirement upon the agent This data must be collected in100 of ticketed PNRs for transmission to the TSA 72 hours priorto flight departure and airlines will need everyonersquos help tomake sure that this is in place For bookings made within 72 hours of departure the data mustbe provided at the time of booking Remember also that passengers must also apply with ESTA priorto departure at wwwestacbpdhsgov if they are travelling underthe US Visa Waiver Program This is a big issue for the industry and you would know that thisis not NEW news but it is important to be aware of the deadlinefor the mandatory nature of this Secure Flight program which is01 November 2010 There is additional information about SecureFlight at wwwaftacomau You should also talk to your airlinecontacts if you are unsure about the requirements and if you needmore specific assistance The USA will impose substantial fines upon noncompliant airlines and passengers may be seriouslyinconvenienced and possibly denied entry - so this isone of those things in which travel agents can reallydemonstrate their value to the client

AFTA UPDATEthe latest insights from AFTArsquos Chief Executive

Jayson Westbury

I AM writing this weekrsquos column from Geneva as I am attendingthe PAPGJC meeting which is the forum for global dialoguebetween IATA airlines and the travel agency community It is clear that one of the big issues for the industry is thedeadline that is just a few weeks away - for the new mandatoryrequirements implemented by the US Department of HomelandSecurity (DH) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)known as Secure Flight Passenger Data (SFPD) You would have heard a lot about this and AFTA has sent manycommunications around along with all the airlines that fly to theUSA about what is required - but herersquos a quick recap Secure flight is the system that collects the data for watch listmatching of passengers travelling to from over or within the US It enables pre-screening of passenger information before arrivalat the departure airport and identifies known and suspectedterrorists through a watch list matching process with the aim ofenhancing the security of air travel in the US Effective 01 November 2010 airlines flying to and from the USare required to provide specific passenger data (SFPD) 72 hours inadvance the full name of the passenger date of birth and genderare mandatory and must be provided within the booking Travel agents therefore become responsible to ensure that thisdata is collected and there is great discussion about how this is anextra requirement upon the agent This data must be collected in100 of ticketed PNRs for transmission to the TSA 72 hours priorto flight departure and airlines will need everyonersquos help tomake sure that this is in place For bookings made within 72 hours of departure the data mustbe provided at the time of booking Remember also that passengers must also apply with ESTA priorto departure at wwwestacbpdhsgov if they are travelling underthe US Visa Waiver Program This is a big issue for the industry and you would know that thisis not NEW news but it is important to be aware of the deadlinefor the mandatory nature of this Secure Flight program which is01 November 2010 There is additional information about SecureFlight at wwwaftacomau You should also talk to your airlinecontacts if you are unsure about the requirements and if you needmore specific assistance The USA will impose substantial fines upon noncompliant airlines and passengers may be seriouslyinconvenienced and possibly denied entry - so this isone of those things in which travel agents can reallydemonstrate their value to the client

AFTA UPDATEthe latest insights from AFTArsquos Chief Executive

Jayson Westbury

I AM writing this weekrsquos column from Geneva as I am attendingthe PAPGJC meeting which is the forum for global dialoguebetween IATA airlines and the travel agency community It is clear that one of the big issues for the industry is thedeadline that is just a few weeks away - for the new mandatoryrequirements implemented by the US Department of HomelandSecurity (DH) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)known as Secure Flight Passenger Data (SFPD) You would have heard a lot about this and AFTA has sent manycommunications around along with all the airlines that fly to theUSA about what is required - but herersquos a quick recap Secure flight is the system that collects the data for watch listmatching of passengers travelling to from over or within the US It enables pre-screening of passenger information before arrivalat the departure airport and identifies known and suspectedterrorists through a watch list matching process with the aim ofenhancing the security of air travel in the US Effective 01 November 2010 airlines flying to and from the USare required to provide specific passenger data (SFPD) 72 hours inadvance the full name of the passenger date of birth and genderare mandatory and must be provided within the booking Travel agents therefore become responsible to ensure that thisdata is collected and there is great discussion about how this is anextra requirement upon the agent This data must be collected in100 of ticketed PNRs for transmission to the TSA 72 hours priorto flight departure and airlines will need everyonersquos help tomake sure that this is in place For bookings made within 72 hours of departure the data mustbe provided at the time of booking Remember also that passengers must also apply with ESTA priorto departure at wwwestacbpdhsgov if they are travelling underthe US Visa Waiver Program This is a big issue for the industry and you would know that thisis not NEW news but it is important to be aware of the deadlinefor the mandatory nature of this Secure Flight program which is01 November 2010 There is additional information about SecureFlight at wwwaftacomau You should also talk to your airlinecontacts if you are unsure about the requirements and if you needmore specific assistance The USA will impose substantial fines upon noncompliant airlines and passengers may be seriouslyinconvenienced and possibly denied entry - so this isone of those things in which travel agents can reallydemonstrate their value to the client

Jayson Westbury

I AM writing this weekrsquos column from Geneva as I am attendingthe PAPGJC meeting which is the forum for global dialoguebetween IATA airlines and the travel agency community It is clear that one of the big issues for the industry is thedeadline that is just a few weeks away - for the new mandatoryrequirements implemented by the US Department of HomelandSecurity (DH) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)known as Secure Flight Passenger Data (SFPD) You would have heard a lot about this and AFTA has sent manycommunications around along with all the airlines that fly to theUSA about what is required - but herersquos a quick recap Secure flight is the system that collects the data for watch listmatching of passengers travelling to from over or within the US It enables pre-screening of passenger information before arrivalat the departure airport and identifies known and suspectedterrorists through a watch list matching process with the aim ofenhancing the security of air travel in the US Effective 01 November 2010 airlines flying to and from the USare required to provide specific passenger data (SFPD) 72 hours inadvance the full name of the passenger date of birth and genderare mandatory and must be provided within the booking Travel agents therefore become responsible to ensure that thisdata is collected and there is great discussion about how this is anextra requirement upon the agent This data must be collected in100 of ticketed PNRs for transmission to the TSA 72 hours priorto flight departure and airlines will need everyonersquos help tomake sure that this is in place For bookings made within 72 hours of departure the data mustbe provided at the time of booking Remember also that passengers must also apply with ESTA priorto departure at wwwestacbpdhsgov if they are travelling underthe US Visa Waiver Program This is a big issue for the industry and you would know that thisis not NEW news but it is important to be aware of the deadlinefor the mandatory nature of this Secure Flight program which is01 November 2010 There is additional information about SecureFlight at wwwaftacomau You should also talk to your airlinecontacts if you are unsure about the requirements and if you needmore specific assistance The USA will impose substantial fines upon noncompliant airlines and passengers may be seriouslyinconvenienced and possibly denied entry - so this isone of those things in which travel agents can reallydemonstrate their value to the client
