Blacklisted Airlines - Prompted by the European Commission to produce
an EU-wide list of banned airlines, Belgium and France released their
blacklisted airlines.
Nine of the 14 blacklisted airlines are based in Africa,
while two are based in eastern Europe.
The Civil Aviation Authority of France (DGAC) published
the following five airlines which are prohibited from landing in
France:
Air Koryo (North Korea, banned since April 2001)
Air Saint-Thomas (USA Virgin Islands, banned since March
2003)
International Air Services (Liberia, banned since January
2004)
Lineas Aer de Mozambique (Mozambique, banned since
December 2004)
Phuket Airlines (Thailand, banned since June 2005).
The Ministry of Transport of Belgium published a list of
nine banned airlines:
Africa Lines (Central African Republic)
Air Memphis (Egypt)
Air Van Airlines (Armenia)
Central Air Express (Democratic Republic of Congo)
I.C.T.T.P.W. (Libya)
International Air Tours Limited (Nigeria)
Johnsons Air Limited (Ghana)
Silverback Cargo Freighters (Rwanda)
South Airlines (Ukraine)
Although the European Commission, the EU's executive
arm, brokered a deal to create an EU-wide criteria for a blacklist, it
is having difficulty finding consensus. France and Belgium chose to
publish their lists. The EU Transport Commissioner Jacques Barrot has
welcomed the move.
The French government said it would increase the number of
checks on aircraft landing in France. Companies organizing package
tours will soon be required to inform travelers of the airline they
will be traveling on.

Gas-Saving Myths and Truths -- Edmunds.com, the online automotive
resource, recently tested several of the most often cited gas-saving
tips to see which are "urban legends" and which actually save money at
the pumps.
The tests were to learn what tips produced measurable
differences in fuel economy -- differences that are detectable by an
ordinary driver, not a lab technician. The tested tips and results
were:
Tip: Use cruise control to save fuel.
Test Result: True -- at a surprisingly significant level.
Tip: Driving with open windows is less efficient than using
air conditioning.
Test Result: Negligible -- both methods produced roughly
the same mileage per gallon.
Tip: To dramatically improve mileage, buy a more
fuel-efficient vehicle.
Test Result: False -- there are huge savings for drivers
who change their driving style from "lead-foot" to "feather-foot."
Tip: Properly inflated tires are more efficient than tires
with low pressure.
Test Result: True -- and there are other benefits, too,
including safety and tire longevity.
Phil Reed, author of Edmunds.com's "Strategies for Smart Car
Buyers" said "Throughout our tests, the biggest savings in gas mileage
occurred when we drove in a relaxed fashion rather than having a heavy
foot on the gas and brake. We found that if you slowed your 0-to-60
time down to 20 seconds from a normal driving pace of 10 to 15 seconds,
you'll save gas
immediately."

Protect Luggage with Baggage Guard Seals -- The pre-numbered, one-time
use plastic padlocks are the perfect way to protect your luggage since
they cannot be reinstalled once removed. That feature lets you
instantly know if someone tampered with your luggage. Yet when TSAs at
airports need to inspect your luggage, Baggage Guard Seals can be
easily removed. A package of 10 Baggage Guard Seals is still only
$9.95.
