welcome back to the world view we always have to have my next guest on the show
and is a dramatic
world British government import his last appearance was as if you were
overcharged buried the body about the stature made its way through the streets
of London
and today we report we work with this segment shortly after the Duchess of
Cambridge deliver George
Alexander Lewis third in line with them mouth ginsburg is one of the longest
established UK specialist
Aaron business travel journalists he's editor a business travel news weekly
roundup
everything any business travel would need at BTU's .co that UK
and having just returned from his holiday I want to make sure we got
write to him to discuss the Boeing 787 Dreamliner which is fast becoming
somewhat of a nightmare that airplane
method ginsburg welcome back to review well I'm pleased to be here is still the
house in London as you can see from my
that sa warm over here in Wales as well but
we do see some moderating for the week though I'm very grateful we have a
summer full
sleep up nothing we've seen this aircraft grounded for four months with
battery issues
and now the airlines a apparently have been paid compensation payouts
up the stock Boeing did very well on financial results posted the other day
but a party GOP Airways 787 caught fire at Heathrow
shutting that airport for several hours but first I have to ask is
is this plane somewhat snakepit I think the plane very safe
it has never been a plane that's been scrutinized as carefully
as this one as you say yesterday
buying announced it was outs shares standing gets out
a record level they've got orders for 930 aquele
it will still soon reach 1,060
agent being delivered probably about 60% of the most flying
I'll be happy just wrong one what's good to hear I think that because you said is
900 orders are so
in the system um you have to ask though how many hits convo it take before this
cost and with future orders
perhaps Airbus others we just have to wait and see it
always use Newegg 12 problems and this is a tremendous technical innovation
we've been used to
a gender class since the Comets it sixty years ago
and these always being me been problems people forget about it
you just you just get on get on the aircraft a
and that's the end of it the airlines are happy to fly them
more importantly the captains happy to fly them as well
it's good to hear now it appears the investigation is focusing and
condensation and a pinch wire the emergency beacon read that yesterday
%uh is that what you're hearing and and how is that investigation proceeding as
to what caused the fire
ways which is also says the investigators you
and they are looking into a carefully by have suggested that people that have
this suck whitman take it also we'll just have to see
he's a strange one and is rather strange the way
the fabric to the a12 cole slaw it be also very incision see
how quickly it's repaired Heathrow is obviously not
live with the moment as gonna have to go into a a British Airways
hanger presumably so the eyes going to learn how to do it
the expensive Ethiopian Boeing know the the thompson
version of the Dreamliner flew over our foremost on its way to cold affair for
the other day and I was taken aback
by the relative silence if it as it cruised into weeks this
airlines so special for both the passenger and the airlines themselves
it just shows you the development is going on over the last
fifty years if you know if your old enough you can remember the old seven oh
sevens
with the black kyle's smoke coming over
I mean these rather significantly closet also
it is a be no put about but there is no question about the
aviation industry one point I percentage
up the environmental impact on me tiny
the problem is the the 002 sense voices I'll
3 television II media and they're the ones
the so newspapers and see the Sun they get get the coverage
we'd only down back yard you don't mind in your backyard miles
always be without ginsburg he's editor
business travel news here and review Dennis Campbell
mother was he finally seeing a solution at least beginning to emerge on
keeper as to what to do with the overcrowding at Heathrow Airport was the
world's busiest but
I'm sure many don't realize that there were only two
very overused runways there and it now seems unlikely that the third or fourth
row
ever be built in certainly London Mayor Boris Johnson seem to get out ahead of
his party in the last couple of weeks
tell us more about the current plans those like the
the the situation is very she is in one sense
burgeoning 2x in another what is happening is this
present government %uh through reneged if you like
on the third runway the moment you came into power
it did say that he would do it we didn't think the plot Minister
would actually stop the the future development
over a third runway at Heathrow one he said
is we're gonna put this back to a political
grouping which each is 18 clever people
not on the associated with aviation called Davies Commission on the Airport
Commission
this commission will unusually report at the end of this year
on some new suggestions but not included to observe around like
in 2015 off to the British general election
they will then come up with over recommendations as recommendations not
fax the truth is that he so is very very busy
but he's actually coping quite well we do have
a number will other a major airports E
in in the ones that vicinity get week which is
35 BFG big airport Stansted which is
Harvin see got loose in as well and she's more airports
so there isn't quite the crosses that people talk about
we need to get on sewage a and the shoe
my denied isn't coming up is is another one way
at he's well it's a perfectly good idea all
a on why it's a staff at Stanstead
only ok actually however the man I love London
seems to have gone into his head that we must have developments
in the age in the Thames Estuary that will give the same problems I've
I was wrong London and tools a kayosa I think the public
exaggeration but very very is a serious consequences
so the economy of West Lawn thats I actually don't think that's a
the recorded the boys ski is going to work
and I think somehow he's gonna have to realize so that one
so rate is want when he makes the grand pronouncements
love the home phone like structure in the estuary
add link if I really Road central London you seem to think
but that's not going to happen I don't think that's gonna happen situation Hong
Kong was completely different
if you close the only love runways
in the city have no other airport
you open is some whales a hundred percent everybody's gonna
move airports this is not going to happen that close
up shouldn't astronomical I we have another problem with the well which
in the United Kingdom's and there's more more controversy going on
as to what's going to happen in the future we're not the concert on
with not large distances with relatively short distances
no problem goes is so everybody wants to fly
so London there are international flights from from the province
provinces but not many and they have never worked historically
