They take into account the number of passengers, fuel load by weight, estimated number of bags, freight and mail based on the shipping manifests from the cargo shippers and the United States Post Office. Taking all these weights, the ALA must plan the load distribution for the aircraft so that it is within the guidelines set by the airline and FAA so the aircraft will be in balance, front cargo hold and rear. Each different aircraft type has separate load sheets used for calculations and weight distribution. The ALA is also responsible for making sure that they have the proper equipment and enough employees to complete the job. When the aircraft is scheduled to arrive, the ALA must ensure the gate is clean and ready to accept the aircraft.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) protects its passengers by inspecting air carrier operations to the U.S, assessing the security of airports overseas, and addresses many compliances and reviews of airport security (TSA: Global Strategies). Not only does the TSA keep an eye on airline security around the globe, but they have many different layers of security in our nation’s airports. These layers are used to ensure the safety of the travelers as well as our transportation system. TSA mentions that some of the layers of U.S aviation security are Intelligence, Joint Terrorism Task Force, Checkpoint/Transportation Security
Singapore Airlines Workforce Management Program Singapore Airlines, as a service industry, valued the quality of service they provided for their customers and felt that their superior level of inflight customer service set them apart from other airlines. The SIA executives were known to comment that the SIA cabin crews were vital to their inflight service, so they set high standards for selection of cabin crew and evaluation of their performance. They felt that the attention to detail a passenger received inflight was a reflection of the overall service of the airline (Hart & Lytle, 1989). Their primary focus regarding candidate selection was on the candidates overall attitude toward work followed by “appearance and posture, language skills, grace and poise, and previous work experience” (p. 5). Young-Crew Policy SIA’s wanted their cabin crew to be a reflection of their multiracial society drawing from its Indian, Chinese, Eurasian, and Malay cultures and their rich customs related to hospitality and service (Hart & Lytle, 1989).
The aim of this unit is to develop candidates’ understanding of the health, safety and security hazards present in the airport and airline sector. The main health, safety and security hazards are considered in the context of an airport terminal, the airside areas of an airport and then finally in the operation of an aircraft. The unit gives the opportunity for candidates to investigate current airport/airline issues in health, safety and security and also considers the key general and industry specific legislation affecting the sector. This unit has links with Unit 5: Current issues in travel and tourism, Unit 24: Investigating the airline industry, and Unit 26: The UK airport sector. Assessment Objectives 1, 2 and 3 should focus upon identifying the key hazards to health safety and security and the corresponding measures in place to minimise such risks.

The configuration changes constantly due to the requirement s of customers. Secondly, engineers reviewed all existing technology projects to see if any are appropriate for the proposed new plane. Thirdly, during the program definition phase, audit teams were assigned to review every significant element of the program. During the phase of cost definition, cost was estimated using a parametric estimating technique that predicted the costs of a new plane from design characteristics, such as weight, speed, and length, and historical relationships, such as the number of parts per airplane, that were know well in advance of production. After the board of directors approved the project, teams began to work on details of supplier and production management.
What substantiation is required for the company to support its treatment of the corporate jet? Conclusions 1.
