- Saudi Arab to busts fake Haj firms
-
JEDDAH Saudi Arabia: The Saudi Ministry of Haj is sending inspectors to visit domestic Haj groups in order to identify fraudulent companies, said Ibrahim Al-Jabiri, director general of the Department of Domestic Pilgrims at the ministry.
According to government rules, pilgrims — regardless of whether they are Saudis or not — are not allowed to enter Makkah or the holy sites during the Haj season without a Haj permit, Al-Eqtisadiah newspaper reported. “The ministry has been taking action against several swindlers posing as Haj service providers and issuing pilgrims with false contracts,” said Al-Jabiri.
“The regulations laid down by the ministry have, however, led to a considerable fall in the activities of fraudulent Haj groups over the past three years. The ministry has so far unearthed 75 fraudulent companies in various parts of the Kingdom. Last year alone, 17 false companies were unearthed,” the official said.He added that fraudulent companies, when caught, are forced to close their offices and refund their “customers.”
“Victims would complain in the past that although their companies promised them accommodation and other facilities in Makkah and in the holy sites, on arrival they would often find nothing there,” he said, adding that the situation has improved substantially now.
Al-Jabiri said his ministry is receiving full cooperation from the Ministry of Interior in finding false Haj service providers. Fake companies can be fined SR100,000 for a first time offense; second time offenders can be fined double that amount.
The Ministry of Haj will also cancel the licenses of authorized Haj service providers if they fail to fulfill their contractual obligations. “The ministry urges all domestic pilgrims to verify whether the Haj group they are dealing with are licensed by checking the Ministry of Haj’s website which has a list of all licensed Haj service providers. They can also do this by calling the ministry’s toll-free number,” Al-Jabiri.
“The ministry has also set up a committee to speed up legal action against both fraudulent companies and companies which are licensed yet fail to fulfill their obligations. The three-member committee will have representatives from the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. If the offenders are non-Saudis they will be deported once dues are settled,” he said, adding that the Ministry of Haj will represent pilgrims.

- Lightning hits Airblue plane
-

A Jet plane of Airblue carrying 144 passengers was struck by lightning as it landed during a thunderstorm on its way back to Manchester. The Airblue flight from Islamabad, in Pakistan, was struck on its nose-cone as it approached an airport in Turkey, where it was stopping to refuel.
The crew managed to land the plane at Trabzon Airport in north-eastern Turkey without declaring an emergency or suffering any casualties.The Airbus A321-200 was checked over by engineers and then taken out of service as a safety precaution. Passenger Usman Chaudhry, 30, a student in Bradford, said: "We had about 10 minutes to go before landing when there was a lot of turbulence and the plane started shaking. "Then I heard a loud bang and saw a huge flash out of the window.
The cabin crew started to panic. They were running about and a steward asked me if I could operate the door in the event of an emergency."But the pilot managed to land at the airport and it was like a miracle. The ground staff told us they heard a big blast in the air and they weren't sure if the plane would get down safely."It was terrible - it was more than terrible. I'm glad to be alive."A spokesman for Pakistan-based Airblue.

- Virgin and BA cut fuel surcharges
-
Virgin Atlantic and British Airways (BA) have announced cuts to their fuel surcharges as a reaction to the drop in world oil prices.
Effective from yesterday, BA has trimmed £35 from first and club services on long-haul flights of nine hours or more. Long-haul economy class passengers will see an average reduction in fuel surcharge from £192 to £132, while those on medium-haul flights of less than nine hours will have a reduction from £136 to £106.
Surcharges levied to premium economy travellers on long-haul services will drop from £230 to £170 with medium haul routes dropping from £166 to £126.
Virgin Atlantic has matched BA's cut by also implementing a £35 reduction for its upper class passengers on long-haul flights.The carrier has also exactly mirrored BA's cuts for economy class passengers on both long and medium-haul services. Equally, both airlines will trim business class surcharges from £266 to £196 on long-haul and from £196 to £156 on medium haul routes.
BA stated that "the reduction in the price of oil", which now stands at around $36.50 per barrel, was the chief motivating factor for this new pricing policy.The two airlines first introduced fuel surcharges on return flights in May 2004, at a time when oil was also priced at $36.50 a barrel.
Since then, fuel surcharges have increased by up to 5,000 per cent at some airlines as the price of oil climbed to a high of $150 per barrel. It is estimated that the high price of oil led to the collapse of over 30 airlines, including Zoom and XL Airways, but the greatest threat is now said to be the decline in passenger demand.
Pakistan travellers still waiting news from Pakistani Airlines PIA and Airblue for fuel surcharge cut.

- ID cards to be trialled at UK airports
-
The proposed new national identity (ID) cards will be tested at two of the UK's leading national airports, according to reports. An 18-month trial will go ahead at London City and Manchester airports under the Home Office's delivery plan for the ID cards.
The biometric cards will be issued to airside workers at the airports during the second half of 2009 as part of an evaluation period. The National Identity Scheme Delivery Plan was revealed on 6 March outlining the details of the estimated £4.7 billion project which will run for the next ten years, reports the BBC.
"The first ID cards will be issued to people working in specific sensitive roles or locations where verification of identity will enhance the protection of the public," said the Home Office plan.
"This will start in the second half of 2009, with the issuing of identity cards to those working airside in the country's airports," it added. Marriage visa holders and non-EU students will be the first group to receive ID cards, followed by workers at the airports before the scheme is opened up on a voluntary basis in 2010.
However, the Home Office originally intended to have around 200,000 airport workers in the UK holding the cards, which carry fingerprint data, by the middle of 2009.
Phil Booth from campaign group, No 2 ID, described this to the BBC as a "complete roll back" of the original trial proposed by government. "We are seeing a rather transparent attempt, I think, to save some ministerial face," he added.
The British Air Transport Association (BATA) has also objected to the scheme by describing it to Reuters as "half baked".

- Farewell to Paper Ticket - 100% E-ticket now
-

IATA launched a new era in air travel as it bid farewell to the paper ticket as the industry converted to 100% electronic ticketing on 1 June.
“The paper ticket has served us well, but its time is over” said Giovanni Bisignani, IATA’s Director General and CEO at a ceremony held in Istanbul, Turkey on 31 May.Paper tickets were introduced in the 1920s. More than 70 years later, the first e-ticket was issued in 1994. In 2004, the successive crises of war, terrorism and SARS were still being felt, the price of oil was rising and it became critical for airlines to cut costs.
IATA launched Simplifying the Business, a programme that would achieve 100% e-ticketing.“The benefits to the business are real,” said Bisignani. “The move to electronic ticketing will save the industry over US$3 billion each year.” And e-ticketing brings a number of additional benefits to travellers:
no more lost tickets.
No more waiting by the mailbox for your paper ticket and
changing itineraries is much simpler.
The environmentally conscious might ask what is happening to all the paper that was in the system. IATA is collecting the remaining unused paper tickets - some 32 million worldwide - to be securely reclaimed, destroyed and recycled. “An era has ended. If you have a paper ticket, it’s time to donate it to a museum,” Bisignani said.
Accroding to IATA rules all Pakistani Airline e.g. PIA and Airblue issue only e-tickets.
