EBACE: More Than an Exhibition

in

Every year key players flock to Geneva for the most anticipated business aviation event of the year, the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE). This year is no different as we expect more than 13,000 industry professionals to attend. Additionally, hundreds of exhibitors will arrive to showcase their products and services.

To understand why EBACE is such an important event in our industry, we must look into the history behind this annual event.

The Aviation Industry

The concept that drives this industry has always been to bridge the gap between distances quickly and efficiently. This business is about creating connections and thinking creatively.

Aviation has grown in leaps and bounds since man first took to the skies, and with its growth, thousands of airlines and aviation-related companies have opened their doors across the world.

For any global industry, it is important to give key players the opportunity to meet and create connections. This is especially important in the aviation world, as these companies are built to close the gap of distance. They also focus on building relationships with people and organizations around the world.

EBACE’s Founders

In 2001, two aviation groups worked together to launch the first EBACE. The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) is based in Europe, while the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) is headquartered in the United States.

Both groups saw the need for a place where our industry could exhibit new advances on a global scale.

And thus, EBACE was born.

A Mutual Aim

As we approach the 18th annual EBACE, set to take place from May 29 to 31, we see that the event has grown with each year. Today, EBACE continues to play a major role in bringing together aviation players from the far reaches of the globe. Whether they are looking for inspiration, new partners or specific services, attendees are sure to find connections that will lead to high returns in the future.

For Click, the aim of EBACE is what draws us to Geneva for this exhibition year after year. We have built our platform on the concept of networking and making connections. We believe in the exchange of information and vital resources. This is why EBACE is the perfect place to present our capabilities, learn from our peers, and enjoy great conversation.

So, as we prepare Click’s extraordinary exhibition stand, we have only one thought on our minds: we can’t wait to meet everyone.

Meet us at the exhibition

Join us as we take the aviation industry to new levels of collaboration and efficiency.

We hope to see you at Booth L89.

Aviation Tech: Of Reality and Man

in

On the application of VR, AR and MR in the aviation industry.

On the topic of trending Aviation Tech, we will be talking about some recent advances. Specifically, in the applications of VR, AR, and the most recent one, MR in the aviation industry.

But before talking about those alternative realities and how they can help shape the future of aviation tech, let us back track a bit and talk about reality itself.

Let there be light

Genesis 1:3

Reality varies according to the watcher; watchers such as humans, animals or even cellular organisms have different perceptions of reality.   

For us humans, reality is our perception of the universe around us; it’s the shape of things that we touch and feel and the time we spend. Waiting for a doctor’s appointment takes forever while watching an exciting game on TV with friends finishes far too quickly.

We do live in a spacetime consisting of 3 dimensions that define space and a fourth dimension that defines time. As basic as it seems, this concept of a 4-dimensional universe is relatively new and started to take shape in the 18th century.

In our case, we see our surroundings in 3 dimensions while times passes by and that is our reality.

Latter theoretical physicists told us that we do live in more than 4 dimensions. Some claim it to be 11 dimensions, others 21 dimensions and the list goes on based on different theories.

Here we are not talking about the 11D cinemas. In those cases, dimensions may include vibration or scent.

M-Theory

Here we are talking about a universe that is beyond our understanding of reality. Take, for example, the 11-dimensional M-theory where the fifth dimension is a parallel universe (if you live in such universe you will have a similar perception of reality) and the sixth dimension is made up of infinite parallel universes. The list of dimensions goes on while manipulating the laws of physics.

Other types of people came up with a different kind of idea.

Instead of 4, 5 or N integer number of dimensions that govern our universe, hence our perception of reality, what if there is a half dimension or maybe 2.849212 dimension and so on.

Who came up with such an idea? Mathematicians of course; who else can come up with something like this!

The Math Side of Things

The Cantor set is an example of those fractal dimensions: a line where we remove the middle third and we end up with 2 lines and then we remove the middle third of those 2 lines and continue to do this to infinity.

We end up with line that is of a measure 0 according to our understanding of reality but have uncountable points.

In the early 1900s, a German mathematician by the name of Hausdorff came along and said, “Well, it can’t be true that this is a zero measure.” Thus, he invented his own way to measure not only this set but another similar one.

He found out that the actual “size” or dimension is 0.6309 dimension.

So, imagine for example, a 0.52115-dimensional organism living in “our” 4-dimensional universe that exists in 11 dimensions.  

Our reality of spacetime is limited to our senses and perception of the world around us. Therefore, going beyond this may get complicated as not-really explained above.

Luckily VR, AR and MR are not complicated, as those technologies don’t take us beyond our spacetime but rather enhance our understanding of it. This is especially true in their application for aviation tech.

All You Need To Know About A Private Jet Flyer

in

Private Jet Users

Typically, one sees a private jet as a lavish experience for a posh family who prefers a luxurious trip. On the other hand, the aviation industry depicts them as an effective way to travel. They are also shown as a way to get access to remote airports that are not served by commercial flights.

This means that we view private jets differently in the business world and in the social norm.

The “WHO”

We hear plenty about private jets and endlessly about who uses them from topnotch celebrities, to royalties, and old business men in suits with greying hair or balding heads; however, that is how the media shows it and how our brains have learned to view private jets.

In fact, according to a shared internal data by a charter broker based in the UK that goes by the name PrivateFly, 37% of its passengers were women and the average age of passengers, of both genders, was 41 years old. Much to our surprise, the age is younger than our imagination lets us view them.

The Thunderbolt

The bigger surprise does not lie in the age group above, but in the following one. According to Stratajet, a mobile app where customers can hire a private charter effortlessly, customers who book private jets through said app are aged 44 and below and that makes up 69% of the app’s customers.

In addition to that, the app states that the largest age group is among 25 to 34 year-olds. This means that the private jet users are even younger than the 40s and younger than what we could ever imagine.

What to Deduce?

To conclude, the age group of private jet users is decreasing throughout the years; however, this leaves an open conclusion to the situation. Is the younger generation using private jets to be efficient or is it for luxurious purposes?

How Are Airfares Still Costly Despite Low Jet Fuel Prices

in

Jet fuel only accounts for less than 40% of an airline’s total operating costs. A gallon of jet fuel cost approximately $2 for U.S. carriers.  The International Air Transport Association has stated that there can be a 26 % drop of total operating expenses if the oil prices were to stay the same. 

Although the fuel prices have dropped by 50%, travelers shouldn’t expect airfares and transportation costs to also lessen. Lower fuel prices can be both, good and bad news for the airlines. This is dependent on the carrier’s’ fuel hedging positions in the industry. But because of how unpredictable the jet fuel prices are, planning operation expenses become even harder. Fuel prices are just one of the cost factors in the airline industry.

Any profit airlines make due to lowered fuel costs being goes without benefits; those profits are invested in keeping up with other expenses that go into maintenance. The other expenses add up to have nearly little or no changes at all. Maintenance of the aircraft includes aircraft parts, labor cost, airlines promotion and other commissions as well.  

Gradually increasing ticket prices little at a time helps the airlines company take precautions for sudden fuel cost hikes. Due to the unpredictability of oil prices, the airlines industry is constantly looking out for various coping mechanisms and strategies to avoid sudden crisis. Recovering from previous losses and a number of other costs conclude that there really can be no connection between fuel costs and airfares.
