Mobility entrega prêmio para agências de viagens.
Atendimento e prestação de serviços Premium foram alguns dos reconhecimentos
que levou mais de dez agências a se destacarem no mercado de turismo de luxo
A ação é resultado do Agente Satturno, clube de fidelidade e benefícios criado pela Mobility – líder mundial do setor de locação de veículos no mercado B2B – que visa reconhecer a atuação das agências que se destacam no mercado triple A. Com menos de seis meses de vigência, o Clube já conta com mais de 25 agências e, no último dia 26 de junho, reconheceu o potencial de um seleto grupo por seu know-how. Aqui Viagens, Embarque Turismo, ESP Viagens, Ilhatur Blumenau, LTN Lazer e Eventos Viagens e Turismo, Matueté, Nova Safari RJ e SP, Orinter, Paragon, Personal Travel VIP, PHD, Plantel, Primetour, Selections, Sete Mares, Softour, Teresa Perez, Shilton, Travel Place e Unitour BH foram as contempladas.
Mais que valorizar e oferecer benefícios com locadoras boutiques, atendimento preferencial e eventos exclusivos para as agências de viagens, o Agente Satturno traz também uma série de vantagens para o cliente como, por exemplo, o acréscimo de 5h na última diária e pacote de milhas/KM extra.
“Seja a trabalho ou a lazer, o período de viagem deve ser bem planejado para evitar possíveis aborrecimentos e frustrações. Não importa o motivo, todos querem um lugar agradável, um hotel com boa infraestrutura e gastronomia. Tudo isso significa experiências. Por isso, acreditamos que o trabalho dos agentes de viagens é fundamental no pré ao pós-viagem”, diz Oskar Kedor, CEO da Mobility.
É por estes motivos que a Mobility investe e reconhece a importância dos profissionais de turismo, por meio de prêmios, benefícios e até ações de marketing, como a campanha Futuro do Rent a Car, que levará seis agentes para o Vale do Silício. Só que antes do embarque os participantes têm uma rodada de conhecimento, interação e aprimoramento. Mais informações sobre a ação, que termina do dia 20 de julho:https://futurorentacar.com.br.

Passenger Demand Continues Strong Growth in May.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced global
passenger traffic results for May showing that demand (measured in revenue passenger
kilometers, or RPKs) rose 6.1% compared to the same month in 2017, which was a slight
pickup from 6.0% year-over-year growth for April 2018. Capacity climbed 5.9% and load factor
rose 0.1 percentage point to 80.1%.
“May was another solid month in terms of demand growth. As had been expected, we saw
some moderation, as rising airline costs are reducing the stimulus from lower airfares. In
particular, jet fuel prices are expected to be up nearly 26% this year compared to 2017.
Nevertheless, the record load factor for the month signifies that demand for air connectivity is
strong,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General and CEO.

International passenger traffic demand rose 5.8%, which was up from 4.6% growth in April. All
regions recorded growth, led by Asia-Pacific airlines. Total capacity climbed 5.4%, with load
factor rising 0.3 percentage point to 78.7%.
Asia-Pacific airlines saw their traffic rise 8.0% in May compared to the year-ago period,
slightly down on an 8.1% increase in April. Capacity increased 7.6%, and load factor
edged up 0.3 percentages point to 77.9%. Passenger traffic has continued to trend
strongly upwards in seasonally-adjusted terms, buoyed by a combination of robust
regional economic growth and increases in the number of route options for travelers.
European carriers’ May demand climbed 6.2% over May 2017, well above the 3.4%
year-over-year growth recorded in April. Capacity rose 5.1% and load factor was up 0.8
percentage point to 83.5%, which was the highest among regions. Despite the impact of
strikes in the region and mixed signals regarding the economic backdrop, traffic growth
is healthy.
Middle East carriers’ May demand growth slowed to 0.8% compared to a year ago,
from 2.9% annual growth recorded in April. The earlier timing of Ramadan this year may
have affected the result, but more broadly, the upward trend in traffic has slowed
compared to last year. May capacity increased 3.7%, and load factor fell 1.9 percentage
points to 67.5%.
North American airlines’ traffic rose 4.9% in May compared to May 2017, a strong
rebound from 0.9% annual growth in April (which was a 36-month low). Capacity climbed
3.4% and load factor increased 1.2 percentage points to 82.0%. Given the comparatively
strong US domestic economy, April’s weak demand performance likely was more
reflective of unfavorable year-to-year comparisons with April 2017, when the current
upsurge in growth began.
Latin American airlines experienced a 7.5% increase in traffic in May compared to the
same month last year, which was up from 6.5% growth in April. Capacity climbed 7.0%
and load factor rose 0.4 percentage points to 81.6%. Economic disruption in Brazil may
be contributing to a slight slowdown in demand growth in recent months, but this is not
expected to have a long-term impact on the healthy traffic trend.
African airlines’ traffic rose 3.8% in May compared to the year-ago period, which was
an 8-month low. Capacity rose 3.2% and load factor edged up 0.4 percentage point to
66.4%. The region’s two largest economies, Nigeria and South Africa, may be moving in
opposite directions again, with higher oil prices bolstering the Nigerian economy, while
business confidence in South Africa has weakened again.
Domestic Passenger Markets
Domestic demand rose 6.6% in May compared to May 2017, led by growth in China and India.
This was down from the 8.6% year-on-year growth recorded in April largely owing to moderate
growth in both countries, although each continued to post double-digit traffic gains.Air passenger market detail – May 2018

India’s domestic traffic rose 16.6% year-over-year, which was down from 25.7% in April.
Passenger volumes in India have fallen back in seasonally-adjusted terms in recent
months alongside some mixed signals on the economic front. Notwithstanding this, May
was India’s 45th consecutive month of double-digit annual RPK growth. Demand
continues to be supported by strong growth in the number of airport connections within
the country: some 22% more airport-pairs are scheduled to operate in 2018 compared
to last year.
US domestic traffic experienced a mild pick-up in May, with 5.5% year-over-year traffic
growth, up from 5.3% in April. This partly offset the moderate growth in China and India.
Domestic traffic is trending upward at an annualized rate of around 7%, helped by the
comparatively strong US economy.
The Bottom Line
“Last month, IATA released its mid-year economic report showing expectations of an industry
net profit of $33.8 billion. This is a solid performance. But our buffer against shocks is just $7.76.
That’s the average profit per passenger that airlines will make this year—a narrow 4.1% net
margin. And there are storm clouds on the horizon, including rising cost inputs, growing
protectionist sentiment and the risk of trade wars, as well as geopolitical tensions. Aviation is the
business of freedom, liberating people to lead better lives. Governments that recognize this will
take steps to ensure aviation is economically sustainable. And aviation works best when
borders are open to trade and people,” said de Juniac.

Domestic RPKs accounted for about 36% of the total market. It is most important for
North American airlines as it is about 66% of their operations. In Latin America, domestic
travel accounts for 46% of operations, primarily owing to the large Brazilian market. For
Asia-Pacific carriers, the large markets in India, China and Japan mean that domestic
travel accounts for 45% of the region’s operations. It is less important for Europe and
most of Africa where domestic travel represents just 11% and 14% of operations,
respectively. And it is negligible for Middle Eastern carriers for whom domestic travel
represents just 4% of operations.
Explanation of measurement terms:

Avaliação internacional indica Aeroporto Afonso Pena como um dos melhores do mundo.
Empresa responsável por diversos serviços no Terminal desponta no setor, já atua nos maiores aeroportos do Sul do Brasil e estima dobrar faturamento em 2018
A Holding Higi Serv, empresa responsável por diversos serviços terceirizados no Aeroporto Internacional Afonso Pena, região metropolitana de Curitiba (PR), comemora mais um resultado de destaque do Terminal. Além de liderar, consecutivamente, os primeiros lugares do ranking dos melhores aeroportos do Brasil nas Pesquisas de Satisfação do Passageiro e de Desempenho Aeroportuário- divulgadas a cada três meses pelo Ministério dos Transportes, Portos e Aviação Civil- o Afonso Pena passa a fazer parte da lista dos 15 melhores da Avaliação Mundial dos Aeroportos, da AirHelp Score.
Todos os anos, a consultoria realiza o estudo que compara os terminais em três critérios diferentes: desempenho, serviços e infraestrutura geral. Na lista dos mais bem avaliados deste ano – em que aparecem aeroportos como Hamad International Airport, Catar; Athens International Airport, na Grécia, Singapore Changi Airport, de Singapura; Chubu Centrair International Airport, Kansai International e Airport Haneda Airport, no Japão; Cologne Bonn Airport, na Alemanha entre outros- o Afonso Pena ocupa a 12ª posição.
No aeroporto de Curitiba, a Higi Serv é responsável pelos serviços de proteção (raio- X), limpeza e conservação, movimentação de carrinhos de bagagem, copa, carga e descarga, desinfecção, descupinização, desratização e desinsetização. “A avaliações positivas do Aeroporto Afonso Pena comprovam a eficiência Higi Serv porque o nosso trabalho impacta diretamente na experiência do passageiro. Seguimos padrões de qualidade internacionais e este resultado na AirHelp Score indica que os investimentos que fazemos em tecnologia, qualificação e capacitação dos colaboradores estão dando certo”, comenta Adonai Aires de Arruda, presidente da Higi Serv.
A atuação da Holding Higi Serv no setor aeroportuário vem crescendo expressivamente nos últimos anos. Atualmente, as empresas do grupo já prestam serviços nos principais aeroportos da região Sul do Brasil: Curitiba, Foz do Iguaçu e Londrina, no Paraná; Florianópolis, Navegantes e Joinville, em Santa Catarina; e Porto Alegre, no Rio Grande do Sul.
Apenas na Higi Cargo, uma das empresas da Holding, o faturamento cresceu mais de 500% em 2017, em relação a 2016, e segue, em 2018, com a expectativa de dobrar o resultado do ano passado. “Queremos crescer ainda mais e conquistar novos aeroportos no Brasil e também do exterior” finaliza o executivo.
Sobre a Higi Serv:
A Holding Higi Serv completa, em 2018, 41 anos de atividade. Especializada em terceirização de serviços, atua em todo país e possui cerca de seis mil colaboradores. A Holding engloba as empresas HSTL, Higi Serv Cargo, Higi Serv Serviços, Higi Serv Limpeza & Conservação, Orkin, Usipar e também atua no setor de turismo com as empresas BWT Operadora e Serra Verde Express. O executivo que comanda a Holding Higi Serv é também presidente do Sindicato das Empresas de Asseio e Conservação do Paraná (SEAC-PR), desde 1996, presidente da Fundação de Asseio e Conservação do Estado do Paraná (FACOP), desde 2003, membro efetivo do Conselho Nacional do SENAC junto a CNC, foi presidente da Federação Nacional das Empresas Prestadoras de Serviços de Limpeza e Conservação (Febrac) entre 1999 e 2004, e o único brasileiro a presidir a World Federation of Building Service Contractors (WFBSC).

31 May 2018 (Sydney) – The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that leaders of the global air transport industry are gathering in Sydney, Australia, for the Association’s 74th Annual General Meeting (AGM) and World Air Transport Summit. Hosted by Qantas, the event will include addresses by Sir Peter Cosgrove, Governor-General of Australia; Michael McCormack, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Transport; and Dr Fang Liu, Secretary General, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
“Sydney will be the capital of air transportation as aviation leaders gather for the 74th IATA AGM and World Air Transport Summit (WATS). The airline industry is in its ninth consecutive year of profitability. And solid progress is being made on the top priorities of safety, security and sustainability. The big issue of the day is infrastructure. A global infrastructure crisis is being complicated by governments considering an acceleration of private sector involvement in airports,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General and CEO.
The IATA AGM and WATS is expected to bring together more than a thousand leaders in the sector, including CEOs and senior management from IATA’s diverse membership and the entire air transport value chain; as well as media..
A highlight of the World Air Transport Summit is the CEO Insight panel featuring Sir Tim Clark (Emirates), Peter Elbers (KLM), Rupert Hogg (Cathay Pacific) Christopher Luxon (Air New Zealand) and Calin Rovinescu (Air Canada). The panel will be moderated by CNN’s Richard Quest.
Topics to be addressed at the gathering include sustainable aviation fuels, airport privatization, benefits and risks of tourism, gender equality, making the best use of data, next steps on aviation security, and preventing human trafficking.
