Tragedy in India: Air India plane crashes, shaking the travel world
An Air India plane crashed in India, killing many, including British and Portuguese nationals, causing global concern. India – A profound sorrow and concern has swept across the global aviation and tourism sectors today, following the tragic news of an Air India plane crash just minutes after its takeoff from Ahmedabad, India. The flight, carrying 242 passengers and crew bound for London's Gatwick Airport, went down in a residential area, with initial reports indicating 'many killed.' The incident involves flight AI171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, an aircraft considered among the most modern and technologically advanced in airline fleets. The aircraft took off around 13:39 local time and, according to air traffic control, sent a 'Mayday' distress call before all communication was lost. Videos and images circulating show thick black smoke and flames rising from the crash site, which is reportedly a doctors' hostel. International Dimension and Implications The tragedy takes on an international dimension due to the nationalities of those on board. Air India confirmed that among the 242 individuals (217 adults and 11 children) were 169 Indian nationals, 53 Britons, 7 Portuguese, and one Canadian. The presence of such a large number of European citizens, particularly from Britain, which is a significant tourism market for Greece as well, adds an extra layer to the tragedy. The international community is watching developments with bated breath, with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi stating he is 'heartbroken' and ordering all possible assistance to the rescue efforts. Similarly, the British Foreign Office is working closely with Indian authorities to ascertain the facts and provide support to those affected. Ahmedabad Airport has suspended all flight operations. Psychological Impact on the Travel Sector For the travel and tourism industry, especially in Greece, which is one of the world's leading tourist destinations, such events, though rare, inevitably have a psychological impact. The safety of air travel is a fundamental parameter for traveler confidence. Although statistics show that air travel is among the safest forms of transportation, high-profile accidents can cause temporary anxiety and influence travelers' decisions. Boeing, the manufacturer of the Dreamliner, announced it is gathering information about the incident, and its shares fell. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, while having a 'spotless safety record' before today's tragedy, has faced various controversies in the past regarding manufacturing quality and safety issues. Air India, now owned by the Indian conglomerate Tata Group, has activated an emergency center and support hotline for the families of the passengers. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and all those affected by this unspeakable tragedy. The travel world is closely monitoring developments, awaiting the results of the investigation into the cause of the accident and the broader impact it may have on public confidence in air travel.

ICAO AFI Aviation Week strengthens the development of African air transport
A renewed commitment to advancing aviation safety, security, facilitation, sustainability and connectivity across the African and Indian Ocean (AFI) region has resulted from the 10th ICAO AFI Aviation Week. Held from 26 to 30 May 2025 in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, the event brought together high-level dignitaries, including the Vice President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, the Honourable Cde Kembo Dugish Campbell Muleya Mohadi Mohadi; the Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development of Zimbabwe, Felix Tapiwa Mhona (MP); the President of the ICAO Council, Salvatore Sciacchitano, and the ICAO Secretary General, Juan Carlos Salazar; along with Ministers and other Senior Representatives of African States. The African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC) President, Florent Serge Dzota, and the AFCAC Secretary General, Adefunke Adeyemi were also present, as were representatives of other regional organizations and global aviation stakeholders. Vice President Mohadi reaffirmed Zimbabwe's commitment to ICAO's strategic objectives and regional aviation development in his opening remarks, and encouraged the attending governments to prioritize alignment on air transport facilitation as a means to enhance efficiency and development. In his keynote address, Council President Sciacchitano emphasized the strategic importance of the AFI Aviation Week as the largest aviation gathering on the African continent. He congratulated and thanked Zimbabwe for its leadership and hospitality in hosting the event, and reaffirmed ICAO's commitment to supporting Africa through a partnership approach that ensures that No Country is Left Behind. Secretary General Salazar emphasized the importance of the event as a platform to shape Africa's aviation future in alignment with ICAO's new Strategic Plan (2026–2050) and Business Plan (2026–2028), and joined Mr. Sciacchitano in expressing his appreciation to Zimbabwe for hosting the event. Noting that most future air traffic growth will occur in emerging markets like Africa, Mr. Salazar highlighted the opportunities and imperative of ensuring inclusive and sustainable aviation growth. In this regard, Mr. Salazar reaffirmed ICAO's commitment to supporting African States through initiatives such as the AFI safety and AFI security and facilitation plans (AFI and AFI-SECFAL Plans), the AFI cooperative inspector and security and facilitation schemes, and the Collaborative Arrangement for the Prevention and Management of Public Health Events in Civil Aviation (CAPSCA) public health programme. The Secretary General urged delegates to continue developing African-led strategies and to build a resilient, future-ready aviation sector in alignment with ICAO goals, and praised donor States and organizations for their essential contributions. Bilateral meetings In support of the objectives of AFI Week, Council President Sciacchitano held bilateral engagements with Vice President Mohadi, Minister Tapiwa Mhona; the Secretary General of the Ministry of Transport Malaysia, Jana Santhiran Muniayan; and the Director General of Civil Aviation of South Africa, Poppy Khoza. Secretary General Salazar undertook bilateral discussions with the Zambian Minister of Transport and Logistics, the Honourable Eng. Frank Museba Tayali (MP) and the Zimbabwean Deputy Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development, the Honourable Joshua. K. Sacco (MP). The Secretary General also engaged in several bilateral meetings with the Directors General and Heads of Delegations from Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Uganda and Malaysia, and with representatives of regional organizations: AFCAC, the African Union Commission (AUC) and several Regional Safety Oversight Organizations. Major Outcomes and Agreements A comprehensive set of outcomes aimed at strengthening Africa's aviation sector emerged from the discussions. Key themes included: enhancing aviation safety through improved oversight and risk-based surveillance developing interoperable air navigation infrastructure with regional coordination addressing security threats by implementing Advance Passenger Information and Passenger Name Record (API/PNR) systems and risk-based strategies optimizing air transport connectivity by accelerating Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM) implementation, reducing taxes, harmonizing cross-border policies, and implementing facilitation programmes As part of AFI Week, the AFI Aviation Symposium promoted Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) through the ICAO Assistance, Capacity-building and Training for Sustainable Aviation Fuels (ACT-SAF) programme and the Finvest Hub; advancing gender equality through policy, mentorship, and education; and empowering youth through aviation career exposure, updated training, and internships. Across all areas, the emphasis was on collaboration among States, ICAO, AFCAC and industry to align with global frameworks and ensure sustainable, inclusive growth in African aviation. A landmark outcome of AFI Week was the convening of the first meeting of the unified steering committee for the AFI Plan, AFI SECFAL Plan, and the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF). This consolidated mechanism will enhance oversight, coordination and resource mobilization. The meeting emphasized the need for a resource mobilization strategy to ensure sustainable funding. African States were also urged to implement the revised Abuja Safety Targets and integrate them into national safety plans. Acknowledging progress made thus far in addressing Significant Safety and Security Concerns resulting from ICAO auditing, the committee also called for increased voluntary participation. Looking Ahead The Council President and the Secretary General were accompanied during their activities in Zimbabwe by ICAO's ESAF Regional Director, Ms. Lucy Mbugua; WACAF Regional Director, Mr. Romain Ekoto; and the Director for Capacity Development and Implementation, Mr. Jorge Vargas. In closing AFI Week, ICAO Secretary General Mr. Salazar called on stakeholders 'to translate the energy and consensus built here into effective policies and initiatives,' noting that 'ICAO will remain fully committed to supporting civil aviation in Africa.' The strategic foundation established in Victoria Falls positions the region to make meaningful contributions to these upcoming forums while advancing Africa's aviation development agenda on the world stage. The ICAO-UN Tourism Ministerial Conference in Luanda, Angola on 22 July 2025 will present an important platform to leverage the aviation connectivity commitments established during AFI Week. This will be followed by the Third ICAO NGAP Global Summit in Durban, South Africa from 12-14 August 2025, where the gender equality and youth empowerment initiatives discussed at AFI Week can be further advanced on a global scale. Finally, the 42nd ICAO Assembly and ICAO Innovation Fair in Montréal, Canada in September 2025 will serve as the global stage where African States can present a unified approach based on consensus, ensuring that the continent's aviation priorities are effectively represented in international policy discussions.

NewTerritory to lead brand experience transformation for LATAM
NewTerritory appointed by LATAM Airlines as brand experience and design partner following a global tender, marking their first collaboration. Project spans redefining LATAM's product design guideline and design philosophy to enable a number of future design programme launches. Aviation brand experience and design studio, NewTerritory, has been appointed as LATAM Airlines' strategic partner to deliver a wide-ranging and comprehensive transformation of its product design experience, following a competitive multi-agency tender process. Marking the first collaboration between the London-based studio and the largest airline in the Southern Hemisphere, NewTerritory will lead the delivery of LATAM's new product design identity and design philosophy, along with the supporting documentation that will shape all future design programme launches. As the sole partner for this strategic element, NewTerritory will define the creative direction and ensure it ties seamlessly across the entire passenger and employee experience, feeding directly into future developments and launches. The all-encompassing project begins with the creation of a comprehensive Product Design Bible – a foundational document that will define what it means to step into a LATAM space. From the check-in counter and airport lounge to the aircraft seat, this work will establish the core principles that guide every touchpoint in the passenger journey. This new design experience will then cascade into the development of a number of future design programme launches later into the year, including hard and soft products. Speaking on the announcement, Nadja Orwell, Director of Client Partnerships at NewTerritory, said: 'Flying may be more familiar than ever, and because of that, customer expectations continue to evolve with growing demand for personalisation, comfort and considered moments throughout the journey. 'For airlines, this means working harder than ever to deliver experiences that feel intentional, elevated and memorable to create moments that speak to passengers' emotional needs. 'That's what makes this partnership with LATAM so exciting. Starting with the Product Design Bible gives us a clear foundation to define what LATAM stands for as a brand – and to express that design DNA across future programmes, shaping the onboard journey for both passengers and crew. It's an approach that brings consistency, coherence and, most importantly, experiences that truly resonate.' Dominic Purvis, SVP of Product and Customer Experience at LATAM Airlines, added: 'NewTerritory demonstrated a unique ability to connect brand, design and customer experience in a way that felt both strategic and emotionally intelligent. Their creative approach and cross-sector insight made them the standout choice in a highly competitive process. 'This partnership marks a major step in our journey to deliver an elevated, distinctive and cohesive LATAM experience – one that reflects the warmth, diversity and vibrancy of Latin America while embracing innovation and human-centered design. We're not just enhancing the travel journey, we're crafting an experience that is emotionally resonant, culturally authentic and truly unlike any other, making it unmistakably LATAM.' Further details on the project will be shared later this year, with phased rollouts expected to align with LATAM's broader innovation and customer strategy.
