achieved Level 2 accreditation from the Airports Council

International‟s (ACI) Airport Carbon Accreditation Programme.

With Level 2 achieved, DXB and DWC are now in the list of 14

Level 2 accredited airports, representing more than 10% of the

air passenger traffic in the Asia Pacific Region. The completion of

the second stage of ACI‟s four-stage programme, is in line with

Dubai Airports‟ commitment to sustainable growth and support for

the aviation industry‟s global initiatives for a carbon-neutral future

for the world‟s airports.

Airport owner Dmitry DomodedovoMoscow’s

detainedKamenshchik

As a result of the Investigative Committee‟s findings into the fatal

suicide bombing in 2011 at Moscow‟s Domodedovo airport, the

principal registered owner, Dmitry Kamenshchik has been detained

by law enforcement officers and faces being charged with

operating premises with inappropriate security measures.

Domodedovo airport witnessed a terrorist attack on Jan. 24, 2011,

where 37 people were killed and a further 172 injured. Earlier this

month and prior to Kamenshchik‟s detainment, three other men

connected with the airports security operations had also been

arrested. Kamenshchik himself could face being arrested under

charges of introducing a new system for checking people entering

the airport, changes which investigators believe weakened security

at the airport.

At a briefing earlier this week and while showing documents and

video footage, Kamenshchik dismissed the committee‟s charges

against the three other men, telling reporters there was “no crime.”

Kamenshchik also confirmed at a press conference on the 17th

Feb. that his possible arrest will have no influence on

Domodedovo‟s investment program.

The suicide bombing was the second terrorist incident to have

taken place at the airport. In 2004 two planes, Volga-AviaExpress

Flight 1353 and Siberia Airlines Flight 1047, were each hijacked

shortly after take-off on the evening of Aug. 24, both subsequently

being blown up, killing all 43 and 46 passengers on board

respectively.

-Achieves WideAliuICAO Council President

Pacific-Ranging Progress during Mission to AsiaICAO Council President Dr. Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu conducted a

mission to Singapore from 14-15 February. He was accompanied

by ICAO‟s Asia-Pacific (APAC) Regional Director, Mr. Arun Mishra.

President Aliu met with Singapore‟s Deputy Prime Minister, Mr.

Tharman Shanmugaratnam, and Mr. Khaw Boon Wan,

Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Minister for Transport.

He delivered the keynote address at the Singapore Airshow

Aviation Leadership Summit and conducted a series of high-level

meetings and dialogues on ICAO‟s current work in support of an

international aviation market-based measure (MBM) and the UN

agency‟s ongoing capacity-building for States under its „No

Country left Behind‟ initiative.

During his keynote address, President Aliu focused on ICAO‟s

aviation development and No Country Left behind priorities,

including the need for major State commitments towards

modernized air transport infrastructure, while stressing the need

for near-term action on aviation emissions.

“The eyes of the world are now clearly focused on the air transport

sector post COP/21, and we must respond by delivering concrete

progress on reducing emissions,” he highlighted to his audience of

government and corporate leaders, stressing with respect to local

concerns that “with a number of Pacific Island States already

experiencing dramatic revenue loss due to climate change, the

especially urgent need for environmental action cannot be

ignored.”

http://www.atn.aero/

(Continue)The ICAO President‟s stay in Singapore began with a series of

dialogues conducted separately with Ministers representing Pacific

Island States and Transport Ministers from the Association of Southeast

Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Topics discussed included „No Country left Behind‟ and ICAO‟s current

goals and actions to help States effectively implement ICAO Standards

and Policies – a fundamental requirement on the path to optimizing air

transport connectivity and aviation‟s socio-economic benefits.

Further talks focused on the progress of ICAO‟s work and outreach in

2016 to gain State consensus around the international aviation MBM

now being developed, a world first for any major industrial sector. In less

than two weeks from today, the ICAO Council‟s High-level MBM Group

will be reviewing a draft proposal for the MBM design scheme. This will

be followed by a series of regional outreach events – the ICAO Global

Aviation Dialogues – leading to a High-level meeting in May, and then

finally the 39th ICAO Assembly this September.

The President also met with Singaporean Minister of State, Ms.

Josephine Teo ; Mr. Pang Kin Keong, Permanent Secretary of

Singapore‟s Ministry of Transport; Mr Shum Jin-Chyi Kevin, Director

General of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore; and other

Singaporean senior officials.

President Aliu also conducted a series of bilateral discussions with Mr.

Henry Puna, Prime Minister and Minister for Transport of the Cook

Islands; Lord Tariq Ahmad, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State of

the United Kingdom‟s Department of Transport; Mr. Aiyaz Sayed-

Khaiyum, Attorney General and Minister of Finance of Fiji; Ms. Violeta

Bulc, Commissioner for Transport, European Commission; Mr. Hadi

Sirika, Nigeria‟s Minister of State for Aviation; Mr. Hany Y. Eladawy and

Ms Iyabo O. Sosina, respectively the President and Secretary General

of the African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC); and Ms. Ingrid

Cherfils and Mr. Salvatore Sciacchitano, respectively President and

Executive Secretary of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC).

He also attended the opening ceremony of the Singapore Air Show.

of Australia‟s most exciting technology and science innovators share

their vision for the future of technology and design in a series of

talks held in the nose of Qantas‟ B747 during the thirteen hour flight.

The talks will be live-streamed to passengers via the in-flight

Qantas Group Executive Brand, Marketing, and Corporate Affairs

Olivia Wirth said: “Ninety-five years ago, Qantas was a start-up

itself, and a large part of our success comes from the fact we have

kept trying new ideas. So, we‟re delighted to be able to give these

emerging thinkers a unique platform to tell their stories.

“This is the perfect route for a world-first. We all know about the

impact of the California tech boom, but what‟s really exciting is the

growing number of Australians doing business with Silicon Valley on

the one hand, and building a home-grown Australian culture of

entrepreneurialism on the other.

“One of the reasons we re-launched flights between Sydney and

San Francisco was to support growing business travel driven by the

tech boom, and we‟re looking forward to playing our part in

strengthening the ties between innovators on both sides of the

Pacific.”

TEDxSydney Founder Remo Giuffré said: “We are thrilled to be

partnering with Qantas on this exciting „Ideas that Travel‟ adventure

celebrating the airline‟s San Francisco service connecting Australian

and US-based entrepreneurs.

“Some of the most exciting speakers from TEDxSydney alumni will

be sharing their ideas at 30,000 feet while members of our extended

networks are anticipating some serious meeting and greeting in the

Bay Area next week. We‟re all looking forward to hearing more

about those experiences at TEDxSydney 2016 at the Opera House

in May,” said Mr Giuffré.
