The air routes, Lima 608 ‘, Quebec 102’ and ‘Mike 984’ lead across one of the most beautiful regions of the Eastern Alps, over a piece of Europe, which has largely remained untapped, over a piece of untouched nature, over the National Park Hohe Tauern.

In times like these, it will be more and more important to work together to achieve success for our mother earth, said Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel on June the 1st after the announcement of Donald Trump’s exit from the Paris agreement. We need this Paris agreement to keep our creation. Nothing can and will stop us. “ Continue reading “Hidden treasures under Lima 608, Quebec 102 and Mike 984”

Digital media are a great danger for our brain

“Digital media is fulfilling a fundamental dream of humanity: the mastery of time and space, but that also entails a great danger”, says brain researcher Professor Dr. Dr. Gertraud Teuchert-Noodt from the University of Bielefeld. If media users do not get the upper hand about their actions and plans they succumb unnoticed to a kind of cyberattack on the networks of their brains.

Particularly those subsystems, which are responsible for the memory formation and for the cognitive achievements are attacked. This can cause addiction, burnout or depression. A new challenge both in terms of study and in the world of work will not be to allow the media to put us in their service. It is therefore useful to know more about those nerve networks in the brain that make us strong. At the beginning of May the brain researcher gave a lecture on “Where does the digital revolution go?” at the Technical University of Darmstadt/Hesse. “If we keep the cart running like this, a whole generation of digitized children will return to the Stone Age” Teuchert-Noodt warns.

This year’s Aviation Event again brought together executives from the aviation, politics and business sectors as well as 200 interested members of the industry at the HOLM (House of Logistics and Mobility) at Frankfurt Airport to discuss future issues. The ninth event of the Aviation Event series was under the motto “take-off or touchdown: what is the magic formula for success in the aviation industry?”.

In any case, it means: “Now set the right course”. The increasing role of drones and future innovations in the freight business were just as much a topic as the privatization and the expansion of the infrastructure of airports with an outlook on improved competitiveness.

Aeronautics is a growth market worldwide. In order to ensure that Europe’s aviation sites remain

The New Customer

“Conventions have to be turned upside down in order to provide the customer with relevant information” says Sebastian Fleischmann, Managing Director of Selligent GmbH/Image: Johanna Wenninger-Muhr

Identify unfulfilled needs, solve urgent problems or simply entertain the customer. This is the new marketing approach, called Consumer First Marketing. It goes far beyond Costumer Relationship Marketing, which has been practiced since the 1990s, and is supported by the latest communication technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality or even holo-lenses. The place of the performance: a loft at the Munich Ostbahnhof in mid-February.

Marketing dominated by marketing schedules and sales targets, is miles away from the interests of today’s self-assured and networked consumers. With this provocative thesis, Sebastian Fleischmann, Managing Director of Selligent GmbH, goes straight to medias res in the sky-blue retro suit and the 1980s Vokuhila hairstyle.

“The good guys of globalisation”

160825_spohr_vv_197 — Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr/Image: Lufthansa

Carsten Spohr and James Hogan are unfazed by the growing protectionist mood since Trump´s election. The chief executives of the airline groups Lufthansa and Etihad on February 1st shrugged off concerns that their industry could suffer from a protectionist backlash against free trade. Both said that aviation deals make globalization possible for other industries.

At an Abu Dhabi press conference to announce a tie-up in catering and potentially other areas of operation, Carsten Spohr, the chief executive of the German carrier, said that the aviation industry “are the good guys of globalisation. We make globalisation feasible for billions of people around the world”.

“We play a very important part in making globalisation positive for as many people as possible beyond aviation itself,” he said.

Etihad’s James Hogan said: “We continue to have dialogues with the GCAA, who in turn have their dialogue with the EU. There are challenges, there’s points of view. What is more important is how does partnership deliver. It’s about connectivity, it’s about jobs and economic contribution. It shouldn’t be about politics.” Continue reading ““The good guys of globalisation””
