Deportation flights cost $51 million
2008-08-11 01:17:00 Deportation flights cost $51 million TUCSON, Arizona - The U.S. government has spent more than $51 million over the past four summers flying nearly 64,000 illegal immigrants back to the Mexican interior after they were caught crossing the border. The flights are aimed at reducing the chances of immigrants recrossing the border by flying them to Mexico City, rather than busing them back to the Mexican border where they are susceptible to smugglers awaiting them with offers to try again. Illegal immigrants from countries other than Mexico can’t take the flights. But the Arizona Daily Star reported Sunday that critics said the program hasn’t made a substantial difference in lessening smuggling or the number of deaths that occur as immigrants sneak across the border. In the 362 days the voluntary flights were offered during 2004-2007, the bodies of 342 illegal immigrants were discovered along Arizona’s stretch of the U.S-Mexico border — nearly one per day, southern ...

2008-06-07 07:59:00 MUMBAI: Five flights were diverted to Ahmedabad and Pune, eight went around the Mumbai skies for 40 minutes before landing, and another 25 were delayed ? all because a dog showed up on a runway of the Mumbai airport on Friday morning.And to make matters worse, a cargo plane blocked the runway for 15 minutes after making an emergency landing, further delaying arrivals and departures. A Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL) spokesman admitted: ?All the go-arounds, diversions and delays happened because of the dog and the emergency landing.?

Flights to Russia: Is KD Avia the new Icelandair?
2008-06-02 17:59:00 If you’re old enough to remember flower power and Woodstock, then you’ll probably recall the KeflavÃk stopover. Budget-conscious air travellers in the sixties used Loftleiðir (now part of Icelandair) to hop between the USA and Europe. Loftleiðir undercut the high fares of IATA airlines and pulled a young crowd of first time travellers. It also really put Iceland on the map. The KeflavÃk stopover gave a day or two of awesome geysers, cool waterfalls, and fiery brennivÃn. Nowadays, the KeflavÃk hub still gives Iceland an international visibility denied to most territories of similar size. This year has seen the launch of a similar hub-and-spoke operation at Kaliningrad, Russia’s exclave on the Baltic. For years, Kaliningrad was a pain to reach. Now, thanks to KD Avia, it is suddenly one of Russia’s best connected cities and a great gateway to Russia from the west. No more tiresome changes of airports at Moscow. You can fly into Kaliningrad with KD Avia, quic...

Planned US China Flights Postponed
2008-05-25 16:29:00 MSNBC.com is just out with a story on United Airlines raising its fares and within that story, I have learned that both United and US Airways will not be going forward with their US to China flights as originally planned: United Airlines has sought and US Airways plans to ask for one-year delays in launching the new routes, representatives from the carriers said Thursday.

New flights draw Brazilians to Dubai
2008-05-22 02:00:00 The introduction of new flights between Brazil and Dubai has boosted visitor numbers in the emirate, it has been revealed. According to the region's tourism and commerce marketing department, Dubai is likely to attract about 20,000 Brazilian holidaymakers this year. Hamad Mohammed bin Meiren, head of the department, stated that this is about twice the amount recorded in 2007. Speaking to ANBA, he said Dubai's growing popularity with Brazilian tourists is largely due to the introduction of new flights between the two locations. Mr Meiren commented: "We are glad to see more Brazilians there and word-of-mouth advertisement has many people wanting to get to know Dubai." This will be a positive development for owners of rental accommodation in Dubai, as it means their services are likely to be in greater demand over the next few months.

Investors to benefit from new Dubai flights
2008-05-07 02:00:00 Owners of property in Dubai could be set to benefit from the launch of new flights to the region. According to the Chicago Tribune, United Airlines is preparing to introduce direct services from Washington at the end of October. This suggests that the United Arab Emirates could be set to see an increase in visitor numbers during the following months. As a result, people who own rental accommodation in Dubai may be able to cash in on the greater demand for temporary lodgings. Furthermore, the increased interest in the region should encourage further growth in its housing market, which means investors' assets will appreciate in value. A United Airlines spokesperson was quoted as saying that the carrier wants to tap into the Dubai market because it is a "thriving" economy. He commented: "Commerce and tourism are growing exponentially in Dubai." Since 2002, more than 100,000 Britons have purchased property in Dubai, according to Barclays.

New UK-Spain flights to be launched
2008-04-28 02:00:00 Owners of rental accommodation in Spain are set to benefit from the launch of new flights from the UK.

This comes after Reuters has cited official figures showing that during the first quarter of the year, Spain attracted 10.6 million holidaymakers.
