Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines (SIA) have launched a collaboration to support various sustainability initiatives. This MoU was recently signed by both parties to promote the development and use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in the Asia-Pacific region. The aim is to contribute to the decarbonization of the aviation industry and to share best practices. The signing was carried out by Cathay's Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Ronald Lam and Singapore Airlines CEO Goh Choon Phong during the 80th Annual General Meeting of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the World Air Transport Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The agreement focuses on two main goals: to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and to promote awareness of sustainability in the aviation industry. Firstly, both airlines are jointly committed to increasing the use of SAF in the Asia-Pacific region. This includes raising public awareness of SAF's role in decarbonization, promoting supporting policies and establishing global standards for accounting and reporting. The second focus is on sharing best practices for reducing single-use plastics, minimizing waste and improving the energy efficiency of ground and cargo processes. This will enable Cathay and Singapore Airlines to optimize their sustainability strategies and accelerate implementation in their operations. The cooperation underlines the commitment of both airlines to a greener future in the aviation industry.

Amely Mizzi June 7, 2024 14:05

The tour operator Alltours is offering attractive offers to former FTI customers who booked their summer vacation there and are now waiting for confirmation or cancellation of their trip. Classic package tours from Alltours and byebye with departure by July 15, 2024 can be booked as an option up to and including June 15, 2024. This option can be extended up to four days before departure without a deposit being due, and the booking can be canceled without any problems. In addition, new bookings for the entire 2024 summer season (until October 31, 2024) can be rebooked or canceled free of charge up to 28 days before departure, at no extra charge and without giving any reasons. "We want to enable all travelers who are still unsure whether their trip will be carried out or canceled by FTI to make a worry-free new booking with maximum flexibility," explains Willi Verhuven, owner and managing partner of the Alltours group of companies. Package tours are considered the safest way to book a holiday, as all package tour operators are legally obliged to insure travellers against insolvency. In the event of FTI becoming insolvent, the German Travel Insurance Fund (DRSF) will refund payments already made by package tour customers if a trip cannot take place. However, the decision-making process will take some time due to the large number of customers affected.
