Improving Air Transport to Boost Tourism Improving and modernizing the aviation sector, both in terms of quality of service and in terms of routes and flight frequencies, are the challenges Madagascar has to take up in order revive the tourism industry. During the seminar on the development of air transport in Africa, Ulrich Andriantiana, the Malagasy Minister of Tourism, Transport and Meteorology, said that "the expansion of network, national first, and then regional, and the increase of air capacity are the most effective measures to develop tourism." And in his inaugural address of the airport, Hery Rajaonarimampianina also stressed on the need to "develop relations with the countries around us."
In addition to improving and expanding domestic network, the application of new tariffs and marketing strategies is under review. "We will ensure that air travel gets cheaper," said Hery Rajaonarimampianina after the maiden flight of the new ATR 72-600. The goal for Air Madagascar is to "fully play its role as the lever of economy" and "actively contribute to the revival of tourism".

EDITOR’S CHOICE World’s Best Airline Identified at the 2014 Skytrax Awards Qantas has again dropped out of the world's top 10 airlines, while Cathay Pacific has been named the world's best carrier in the annual World Airline Awards. Cathay Pacific climbed from sixth place last year to displace 2013's top airline, Qatar Airways. Announced at the Farnborough International Air Show in the U K, the World Airline Awards, run by research firm Skytrax, are one of the most high-profile in the aviation industry. Cathay Pacific Chief Executive Ivan Chu said that he was "extremely proud, for both Cathay Pacific and Hong Kong" to receive the award. Cathay becomes the first airline to win the award four times, having previously taken the title in 2003, 2005 and 2009. The airline has spent $HK4.9 billion ($A670 million) revamping its aircraft cabins over the past four years. Asian and Middle Eastern airlines dominated the top 10 as always, but two European airlines also made the list, with Turkish Airlines climbing to number 5 from number 9 last year, and German carrier Lufthansa rounding out the top 10. Qantas meanwhile, dropped back to 11th place from 10th last year. This is the second time Qantas has fallen outside the top 10, falling back to 15th place in 2012. The airline peaked in 2008, when it was ranked the 3rd best in the world. There was better news for Qantas in the awards by region, where it was named the best airline in the Australia/Pacific category, ahead of Virgin Australia, Air New Zealand and Jetstar. Virgin Australia came 15th in the overall rankings, with Air New Zealand in 16th place. Qantas executive Olivia Wirth said the regional win was especially satisfying given the level of competition. Garuda Indonesia took out the award for the best cabin crew, ahead of Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines. Singapore Airlines won the award for best first class cabin, Qatar for best business class and Korea's Asiana for best economy class cabin. Among budget airlines, AirAsia and offshoot AirAsia X took out the top two spots, with Jetstar ranked fourth best. The Skytrax awards are based on a survey of 18.85 million airline passengers from around the world. Passengers from more than 160 countries participated in the latest survey, which covered 245 airlines worldwide. The awards are not without controversy. Last month, Etihad Airways announced it would withdraw from the awards, citing unhappiness with Skytrax's rating system. However, the airline still ranked 9th in this year's results, after Skytrax declared that an airline could not withdraw from the rankings as the results were decided by customers. "An airline cannot be withdrawn from the World Airline Awards, since these results are directly decided by customers. Skytrax do not exercise control over which airlines are nominated in the survey ratings, and to subsequently try and conceal the results of a public vote would be unacceptable," Skytrax said in a statement.

Germanwings Crash Co-pilot Hid Illness from Airline Company The Germanwings co-pilot who crashed his Airbus into the French Alps, killing all 150 aboard, hid a serious illness from the airline, prosecutors said Friday amid reports he was severely depressed. he black box voice recorder indicates that Andreas Lubitz, 27, locked his captain out of the cockpit on Tuesday and deliberately flew Flight 4U 9525 into a mountainside, French officials say, in what appears to have been a case of suicide and mass murder. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said that all the signs were "pointing towards an act that we can't describe: criminal, crazy, and suicidal". German prosecutors revealed that searches of Lubitz's homes netted "medical documents that suggest an existing illness and appropriate medical treatment", including "torn-up and current sick leave notes, among them one covering the day of the crash". They did not specify the illness. But Bild daily earlier reported that Lubitz sought psychiatric help for "about of serious depression" in 2009 and was still getting assistance from doctors, quoting documents from Germany's air transport regulator. The paper also cited security sources as saying that Lubitz and his girlfriend were having a "serious crisis in their relationship" that left him distraught. Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr said that Lubitz had suspended his pilot training, which began in 2008, "for a certain period", before restarting and qualifying for the
T
Airbus A320 in 2013.
50,000 euros per passenger Half of the 150 victims of Tuesday's dis aster were German, with Spain accounting for at least 50 and the remainder composed of more than a dozen other nationalities. Germanwings said Friday it had offered the victims' families "up to 50,000 euros ($54,806) per passenger" towards their immediate costs. The assistance, which the families would not be required to pay back, was separate from the compensation that the airline will likely have to pay over the dis aster, a Germanwings spokesman told AFP. Lubitz lived with his parents in his small home town of Montabaur in the Rhineland and kept an apartment in Duesseldorf, the city where his doomed plane was bound
from Barcelona. Duesseldorf prosecutors said the evidence found in the two homes "backs up the suspicion" that Lubitz "hid his illness from his employer and his colleagues". They said they had not found a suicide note, confession or anything pointing to a "political or religious" motive but added it would t ake "several days" to evaluate the rest of what was collected. Captain Locked out of Cockpit Lubitz locked himself into the cockpit when the captain went out to use the toilet, then refused his colleague's increasingly desperate entreaties to reopen the door, French prosecutor Brice Robin said. According to Bild, the captain even tried using an axe to hack through the armored door as the plane was sent into its fatal descent by
Lubitz. The tragedy has prompted a shake-up of airline safety rules. The European Aviation S a f e t y A g e n c y ( E AS A ) recommended Friday that at least two people be present in the cockpit of planes at all times, which is the standard in the United States. German authorities agreed to the rule for Lufthansa, its subsidiary Germanwings and other companies. Authorities in Germany, Austria and Portugal also announced that they would be requiring the adoption of the so-called "rule of two", which has been backed by Air France, KLM, Britain's easyJet, Brussels Airlines and Norwegian Air Shuttle, among other airlines. Ireland's Ryanair, Finland's Finnair and Spanish carrier Iberia already adhere to the rule. Meanwhile, the UN world aviation body stressed that all pilots must have regular mental and physical check-ups. Recovery operations at the remote crash site were still ongoing, with French officials continuing to comb the mountain for body parts and evidence. "There's not much plane debris left. There's mainly a lot of body parts to pick up. The operation could last another two weeks," said police spokesman Xavier Vialenc. The plane's second black box, which records flight data, has not yet been recovered. AFP

Virgin America, the Best Airline in the US Virgin America ranked No. 1 in an annual airline rating report for the second consecutive year. Overall, the U.S. airline industry had its best-ever performance in 2013 on the Airline Quality Rating, released Monday. The statistical study of U.S. airlines, co-authored by aviation and marketing professors, has been conducted since 1991. The airline ratings are determined using a formula that considers multiple factors in consumer decision-making. On-time performance receives the most weight in the formula, followed by denied boardings, mishandled baggage and customer complaints. Data for all the criteria are drawn from the U.S. Department of Transportation's monthly Air Travel Consumer Report. America’s busiest Airport Virgin America, the top overall scorer, had a slight dip in its on-time performance in 2013 from 2012, dropping to 82.1% from 83.5%. The airline had the best record for baggage handling in 2013 among all the airlines rated. The U.S. airline industry saw an
overall improvement in 2013 over 2012, according to the study, despite declines in two of four areas considered. "I think generally speaking for the last several years we've been in a pretty good place from a performance standpoint," said study co-author Dean Headley, an associate professor o f m a r k e t i n g a t Wi ch i t a S t a t e University. The Airline Quality Rating is conducted jointly by Headley and Brent Bowen, a professor and dean at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. "As an industry we're in a good spot. People seem to be flying. Price isn't scaring them away, which seems to be what people look at most," Headley said. What doesn't always match up with performance is consumer perception of air travel, he said. The ratings don't assess airfares. On-time performance for U.S. airlines dropped in 2013 from 2012, with 78.4% of arrivals on time in 2013, compared with 81.8% in 2012. The number of mishandled bags jumped in 2013, from 3.07 per 1,000 passengers in 2012 to 3.21 in 2013.
Hawaiian Airlines had the best ontime performance -- 93.3% -- among the 15 U.S. airlines rated, while American Eagle's 72.1% on-time arrivals put it at the bottom of the pack. Industry performance improved in two of the four areas considered, with fewer denied boardings and customer complaints in 2013 than 2012. Southwest Airlines had the lowest consumer complaint rate of all airlines - 0.34 per 100,000 passengers. Southwest routinely has the fewest customer complaints among U.S. airlines. Frontier had the highest rate of customer complaints, with 3.09 per 100,000 passengers. The industry is definitely in a period of readjustment, Headley said. UnitedContinental is still ironing out its merger, and the Southwest-AirTran and American-US Airways mergers still have a way to go. Things are bound to change for consumers, he said. "I would stay flexible, as always. When you're traveling by air, you may have your favorite carrier, routes and times, but stay flexible. Everything's on the block at some point."

Improving Air Transport to Boost Tourism Improving and modernizing the aviation sector, both in terms of quality of service and in terms of routes and flight frequencies, are the challenges Madagascar has to take up in order revive the tourism industry. he national carrier, Air Madagascar, received with pomp on Sunday, March 22 its new aircraft ATR 72-600. The event was marked by the presence of the presidential couple and some VIPs, red carpet, hostesses playing orchestral percussion, etc. Coming straight out of the Toulouse factories, the aircraft made its first landing in the Malagasy territory in Nosy Be after stopping over in Cairo and Nairobi. As if to symbolize something, the new aircraft received its maiden flight passengers on the island of perfumes, one of the most popular and attractive tourist sites in Madagascar. "This aircraft will primarily be used to develop tourism," said the Malagasy President, Hery Rajaonarimampianina. "Madagascar is immense, and with the new aircraft, we plan to facilitate connections between the different regions of the country," he added. For domestic flights, the new ATR 72-600 should enable Air Madagascar "to restructure and modernize its fleet to increase flight frequencies, and allow the establishment of new cross lines," stressed the head of state. Two other aircrafts are expected in the few coming
T
months to ensure domestic and regional network. During the seminar on the development of air transport in Africa, Ulrich Andriantiana, the Malagasy Minister of Tourism, Transport and Meteorology, said that "the expansion of network, national first, and then regional, and the increase of air capacity are the most effective measures to develop tourism." And in his inaugural address of the airport, Hery Rajaonarimampianina also stressed on the need to "develop relations with the countries around us." Better Services In addition to improving
and expanding domestic network, the application of new tariffs and marketing strategies is under review. "We will ensure that air travel gets cheaper," said Hery Rajaonarimampianina after the maiden flight of the new ATR 72600. The goal for Air Madagascar is to "fully play its role as the lever of economy" and "actively contribute to the revival of tourism". In order to boost the tourism industry, Madagascar needs to take up a few challenges, including, among others, enhancing network and liberalizing the airline industry. To reach the million tourists Madagascar targets to receive in 2020, it has to
increase, by any means, its air capacity. With a fleet of just seven active aircraft, only two of which ensure long haul flights, Madagascar is far behind Mauritius which currently has a dozen aircraft for medium and long haul flights, and plans to refleet with a half-dozen new Airbus A350 from 2017. But in addition to the numbers, and the new destinations the new aircraft can serve, the latter will mostly enable Air Madagascar to consistently improve its services. In recent years, the Malagasy national carrier has been notoriously popular for repeated delays, sometimes by untimely flight cancellations. The cause: technical glitches due to the ageing aircraft, and the maintenance operation this requires in the flight rotation. Added to this is the ban of certain aircraft belonging to Air Madagascar to fly over the European skies, Madagascar has been listed in the European Commission civil aviation’s Annex B since 2010. Difficulties related to the transport of passengers, security issues, and the inadequacy of reception infrastructure all hinder the development of tourism in the Great Island. Lova RabaryRakotondravony
Ready to Get out of the Annex B List The Minister of Tourism, Transport and Meteorology, Ulrich Andriantiana, feels optimistic. Actually, he believes that the process to get Air Madagascar out of the European Commission of Civil Aviation Annex B list is on the right track. "We look forward the EU to determine the schedule. We are ready," he said Friday during the closing of the seminar on sustainable development of air transport in Africa. He said that only 50 out of the 700-800 shortcomings detected in 2009 remain now. He even said that in terms of compliance with norms, Madagascar is above average in Africa. Listed in Annex B category of the European Commission for Civil Aviation, Air Madagascar was obliged to lease an Airbus A340-300 registered in Iceland with Icelandic crew to be able to serve Europe.
Airline Industry in Quest for Unity in Africa Making Africa a unique tourist destination. Such was the crux of the resolution adopted at the end of the seminar on the development of air transport in Africa that Madagascar hosted from March 25-27. Representatives of the 35 member states of the Organization of international civil aviation (ICAO) who participated in the conference agreed to join forces to face the tough competition prevailing in the global tourism market. "No country should be left behind," said Dr. Bernard Olumuyiwa Aliu, President of the ICAO Council. The two and a half days of workshop thus enabled participants to develop a strategy for the airline industry to benefit from the strong growth of global tourism, but also to contribute to the development of the sector, both at the level of the region and each Member State. According to the Malagasy Minister of Tourism and Transport, Ulrich Andriantiana, "Africa has every chance to win the competition if all African countries join their potential". The objective of the African members of ICAO is to take advantage of the travel revolution. According to Marcio Favilla, President of the World Tourism Organization, also present in Madagascar during the two-day seminar, "a billion tourists traveled around the world in 2014 and more than 51% of them traveled by air." According to him, this figure is set to increase over the next fifteen years, to 1.4 billion tourists by 2020 and 1.8 billion in 2030. Of 60% of the travels being made in emerging countries, growth would be 6% in Africa. SOCIETY
Malagasy Villages Free from Open Defecation: a Myth or Reality? Diarrheal disease is the second-highest cause of children mortality in Madagascar, which is mainly caused by oralfaecal contamination resulting from open defecation, still practiced by 54% of Malagasy people. Supported by international and national stakeholders, the Malagasy government has been working hard to fight against this scourge and plans to eradicate it by 2018. The FAA or Support Fund for Sanitation is an ongoing program of Global Sanitation Fund which has been implemented in Madagascar since 2010 and intervenes in all 22 regions. Towards the end of 2014, 10,944 villages all over Madagascar were officially declared ODF (Open Defecation Free). The key that led to these achievements is the CLTS approach: Community Led Total Sanitation, distinguished by a community-based learning approach. All of FAA’s implementing agencies, including CARITAS, use this approach. In June 2013, CARITAS chose strategic villages of the Commune Alakamisy Anativato. After an initial field visit, the agency started with what they call pre-triggering, followed by triggering process to raise people’s awareness on how open defecation contaminates their foods. Right after the triggering process, all villagers were convinced that they have to stop open defecation. Some of them even volunteered to lead the effort among their community in order to reach their objective. Their roles include motivating community members to end open defecation, encouraging people to build fly-proof latrines and hand-washing stations, organizing a general cleaning, and establishing regular follow-ups to keep their community clean. Representatives of CARITAS were just there to help them realize what should be done and to provide technical assistance whenever needed. Those strategic villages started to be ODF after an average of 15 days after the triggering. Convinced of the importance of the cause they defend, most natural leaders do not content themselves with making their village ODF, but share their experiences in the surrounding villages. So they become Community Consultants, working closely with the implementing agency to raise people’s awareness. Local authorities play a very important role in spreading the message. For instance, Edmond Rakotondranaivo, the Mayor of the Commune Alakamisy Anativato was awarded WAS H (Water, S anit ation, Hygiene) Champion in December 2014 thanks to his efforts in motivating his staff to make all the villages of his commune ODF. He just saw it as a step but not an ultimate goal. Last Thursday, he said he would do his best to spread the message. He is willing to share the benefit they received and the best practices with other communes. He will start with the nearby commune, Tritriva and will expand in other regions of Madagascar.

HISTORY
The First Plane Flies on December 17, 1903 Near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Orville and Wilbur Wright make the first successful flight in history of a self-propelled, heavier-than-air aircraft. Orville piloted the gasoline-powered, propellerdriven biplane, which stayed aloft for 12 seconds and covered 120 feet on its inaugural flight. rville and Wilbur Wright grew up in Dayton, Ohio, and developed an interest in aviation after learning of the glider flights of the German engineer Otto Lilienthal in the 1890s. Unlike their older brothers, Orville and Wilbur did not attend college, but they possessed extraordinary technical ability and a sophisticated approach to solving problems in mechanical design. They built printing presses and in 1892 opened a bicycle sales and repair shop. Soon, they were building their own bicycles, and this experience, combined with profits from their various businesses, allowed them to pursue actively their dream of building the world’s first airplane. After exhaustively researching other engineers’ efforts to build a heavier-than-air, controlled aircraft, the Wright brothers wrote the U.S. Weather Bureau inquiring about a suitable place to conduct glider tests. They settled on Kitty Hawk, an isolated village on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, which offered steady winds and s and dunes from which to glide
O
and land softly. Their first glider, tested in 1900, perform e d p o o r l y, b u t a n e w design, tested in 1901, was more successful. Later that year, they built a wind tunnel where they tested nearly 200 wings and airframes of different shapes and designs. The brothers’ systematic experimentations paid off–they flew hundreds of successful flights in their 1902 glider at Kill Devils Hills near Kitty Hawk. Their biplane glider featured a
steering system, based on a movable rudder, that solved the problem of controlled flight. They were now ready for powered flight. Complex maneuvers In Dayton, they designed a 12-horsepower internal combustion engine with the assistance of machinist Charles Taylor and built a new aircraft to house it. They transported their aircraft in pieces to Kitty Hawk in the autumn of
1903, assembled it, made a few further tests, and on December 14 Orville made the first attempt at powered flight. The engine stalled during t ake-off and the plane was damaged, and they spent three days repairing it. Then at 10:35 a.m. on December 17, in front of five witnesses, the aircraft ran down a monorail track and into the air, staying aloft for 12 seconds and flying 120 feet. The modern aviation age was born. Three
more tests were made that day, with Wilbur and Orville alternately flying the airplane. Wilbur flew the last flight, covering 852 feet in 59 seconds. During the next few years, the Wright brothers further developed their airplanes but kept a low profile about their successes in order to secure patents and contracts for their flying machines. By 1905, their aircraft could perform complex maneuvers and remain aloft for up to 39 minutes at a time. In 1908, they traveled to France and made their first public flights, arousing widespread public excitement. In 1909, the U.S. Army’s Signal Corps purchased a specially constructed plane, and the brothers founded the Wright Company to build and market their aircraft. Wilbur Wright died of typhoid fever in 1912; Orville lived until 1948. The historic Wright brothers’ aircraft of 1903 is on permanent display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

A Change of Mind-set Required to Promote Entrepreneurship in Madagascar
March, a Successful Month for Young Malagasy High-Tech Entrepreneurs
During an interview conducted last week, the newly-elected president of CEERE (Club des Etudiants Entrepreneurs duRendez-vous des Entrepreneurs),Miora Rasolonjatovo, stated that “the rate of people engaging in entrepreneurship is very low in Madagascar.”“Most Malagasy people are not interested in entrepreneurship due to the cultural values they acquired in their societyand their fear of taking risks and challenges”, she said. Promoting entrepreneurship among Malagasy youth is then one of Miora Rasolonjatovo’s priority goals during her 2-year term as president of CEERE. Nowadays, Malagasy entrepreneurs face a number of difficulties, including lack of funding, incompetence of staff, unfair competition, and monopolization of foreign products on local markets. As a result of this, Malagasy people in general tend to think again that doing business in Madagascar is risky and unproductive, and that
Malagasy young entrepreneurs were represented in this month’s international awards. Haja Raselison, winner of the first edition of Antananarivo Startup cup with his project i-charge was qualified for the Word Startup cup that will take place in Silicon Valley in California from June 16-19, 2015. During the event “Ambition Jeune” organized by Synergie Jeunes in La Réunion from the 18th to the 20th of March, Hantatiana Ranaivo Rajaonarisoa was awarded best entrepreneur of the Indian Ocean for the Development and Growth track. On this same event,
Malagasy products are worthless, especially in t e r m s o f q u a l i t y. M i o r a Rasolonjatovo stated that “a ch a n g e o f m i n d - s e t i s necessary to address these entrepreneurship iss u e s . ” “ Th e o t h e r w a y consists in promoting entrepreneurship among Malagasy youth, as early as in High School, and urging them to pursue their dream later by cultivating an entrepreneurial attitude”, added the president of CEERE. She further said that “in developed countries, students are encouragedto create their own businesses, which explains the high success of private entrepreneurship in those countries.” The promotion of entrepreneurship in Madagascar also requires some inputs and support from the government, including increasing funding opportunities for local businesses, alleviating tax and customs charges for local operators, and limiting import of foreign products. Such measures would encourage Malagasy entrepreneurs to invest in and
take advantage of their own enterprise.
Students Associations S h a p i n g F u t u re E n t re preneurs An association like CEERE is a very useful platform which helps youth get skills and experience in business and entrepreneurship.Through its various business-related activities, including English seminar, training and coaching with experienced entrepreneurs, entrepreneurship fair, etc., CE E R E encourages its members to create their own business based on the model, training, and experience they acquired within the club. The new president of CEERE plans to elaborate a new program, other than the traditional Student Entrepreneurship Fair, to get closer to local youth. The program consists in having the association represented in some universities based in the capital. Ravo RAMILIJAONA Edited by Hoby R

TE F is owned by the Nigerian billionaire Tony Elumelu and his program TEEP is a $100 million initiative to discover and support
10,000 African entrepreneurs over the next decade, with a target of creating 1 million new jobs and $10 billion in additional revenues in the process. Over 20,000 African entrepreneurs from 52 countries applied to the program, representing the creativity and potential on display across the continent. The initial 1,000 selected for the 2015 class are a remarkable group of entrepreneurs who are a testament to the ability of Africa’s own entrepreneurs to drive Africa’s growth and development.
