NEWS & INFORMATION       30 Sep 2010: MANGO TO MANAGE SET-UP OF NEW JAPAN BASED LCC Mango Aviation Partners Ltd, a firm specialising in the start-up of low cost airlines, today announced that they have been contracted to manage and advise on the set-up of a new low cost airline being established by a joint venture between All Nippon Airlways (ANA) of Japan and First Eastern Investment Group of China. The new joint venture to establish an LCC, announced on 9th September is designed to take advantage of the growing travel boom between Japan and China, as well as increased demand for value for money travel opportunities across the region.   Mr. Andrew Cowen, Managing Partner at Mango explained:  “ANA and First Eastern are determined to establish a true low cost carrier that can more than compete with the best LCC’s in Asia. In recognition however of the limited success of flag carriers that have set up LCC’s in the past, Mango Aviation Partners who specialise in LCC start-up’s, have been asked by ANA to provide specialist LCC management and advisory services, to help ensure the LCC structured correctly.”  He went on to say: “It is a huge honour for Mango to work with investors as prestigious as ANA and First Eastern and we look forward to establishing with them a leading LCC that will bring much lower fares and greatly enhanced choice of services to travellers in the region”. 21 Sep 2009:  Ventana Aviation and Camco announce Alliance to assist airlines in meeting new European aviation emissions obligations From January 2012 all aircraft operators flying to/from EU destinations will be subject to EU Directive requiring mandatory CO2 emissions reductions Affects all aircraft operators flying to or from an EU destination, approximately 4,000 operators in total Affected operators must submit plans on how they will monitor and report on emissions from 2010 onwards, and on tonne-km activity benchmarking during 2010.
