Mehmet T. Nane, Vice-Chairperson of the Board (Managing Director) of Pegasus Airlines, has assumed his duties as Chair of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Board of Governors, succeeding Robin Hayes at the 78th General Assembly held in Doha. Mehmet T. Nane, the first Turkish Chairman of IATA, which represents 292 airlines from 120 countries comprising 83% of global air traffic, will serve until June 2023.

Commenting on the topic, Mehmet T. Nane said: “I’m honored to take on this position at a time when the industry is emerging from our worst downturn, and to be the first Turkish Chair of IATA. A huge part of this honor is that it represents how far Turkish civil aviation has come.” Nane continued: “The aviation industry has been going through one of the toughest tests in its history over the last few years and is being directly affected by different political and economic factors as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. This means that our already demanding industry now has even more challenges. Despite all the challenges, every one of the stakeholders in our industry are working with maximum effort”.

Commenting on the current state of the aviation industry, Mehmet T. Nane said: “As the aviation industry continues its post-pandemic recovery efforts, it is also taking solid and decisive steps in areas such as gender equality and sustainability. We all share great responsibilities for the sustainable growth of the aviation sector, which supports not only tourism but also many other sectors. As IATA, in addition to maintaining momentum toward re-opening the world to travel and commerce we have a very full agenda over the next 12 months including supporting CORSIA at the upcoming ICAO Assembly, refining the pathway to Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050, and broadening participation in the 25by2025 gender diversity initiative, an initiative for IATA member airlines to improve female representation in the industry by 25% or up to a minimum of 25% by 2025. Together with all our members, we will work hard to realise our main objectives and propel our industry forward.”  Stating that the 78^th IATA General Assembly has decided to hold the 79^th IATA General Assembly and World Air Transport Summit in Istanbul, Türkiye, on 4-6 June 2023, Mehmet T. Nane said: “We will be delighted to welcome global aviation professionals in our beautiful country, hosted by Pegasus Airlines.”

The post This Is How We Party: Scoot gives away 10,000 tickets appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily.

Continuing the celebrations for Scoot’s 10th Anniversary, Scoot is hosting its largest flight ticket giveaway ever: 10,000 free tickets to anywhere across the Airline’s network. Dubbed the This Is How We Party giveaway, ten lucky passengers on selected Scoot flights between 1 June to 31 August will each win a return trip or their next flight out on Scoot.   

As the airline’s birthday festivities continue, Scoot invites our customers to celebrate this momentous milestone by standing a chance to win and rediscover their passion for travel, reconnect with loved ones, or finally take that long-awaited honeymoon or holiday. 

The giveaway will span across the months of June, July and August for lucky winners on selected outbound flights from Singapore. Passengers travelling on a Scoot flight between 1 June to 31 August could be one of the lucky winners, randomly selected by cabin crew onboard these ‘Scootitude’ flights through a lucky draw. For short-haul flights (flight travel time not exceeding three hours), passengers will be given a scratch card for a chance to win these tickets. The ticket giveaway will also run on select regional radio stations, as well as Scoot’s  Facebook and Instagram pages.    

Scoot kickstarted the giveaway onboard TR12 bound for Sydney on 4 June 2022. As the Airline’s maiden flight that marked the birth of Scoot 10 years ago, Scoot celebrated a decade of flying as passengers onboard were entertained with a spate of specially planned ‘Scootitude’ activities and birthday treats 40,000 ft above ground. Ten lucky winners walked away with a return ticket to anywhere in Scoot’s network.  

The second ‘Scootitude’ flight for the ticket giveaway was onboard TR812, the inaugural passenger service to Jeju on 15 June 2022. Scoot is the first scheduled regular international passenger service into Jeju since the pandemic and our inaugural service from Singapore marks the return of international tourists to the island. To commemorate the launch of Scoot’s new three-times weekly non-stop service between Singapore and the scenic Jeju Island, passengers on the A321neo aircraft were surprised with the giveaway draw, tickets to Jeju attractions and other ‘Scootitude’ activities organised by our cabin crew. Upon arrival at Jeju airport, all passengers were warmly welcomed by VIPs and representatives from Jeju Self-Governing Province, Jeju Airport Corporation, Jeju Tourism Organization, Jeju Travel Association and the Singapore Ambassador to the Republic of Korea and were gifted fresh Jeju tangerines and local souvenirs. 

A decade ago, Scoot began with just one aircraft in our fleet, with our inaugural flight from Singapore to Sydney. Fast forward to 2022, we now serve a network of 72 destinations1 across 16 countries and territories, spanning Southeast Asia, North Asia, India, Australia and even all the way to Europe. What better way to celebrate our 10th birthday than with our customers!   

Customers can look forward to more surprises as they resume travel to take a break, or connect with family and friends and make rewarding journeys and memories as the celebrations for Scoot’s 10th anniversary continues.
