If passengers get annoyed about delays or mislaid baggage, it means an even bigger headache for the airlines. Late departures lead to delays for the next departure, so that in the worst case the entire route network suffers because baggage and customers miss connections and a snowballing of delays begins.

Long-term flight safety is a combination of reporting culture and risk management, quality assurance, cooperation and communication. It is matter of training, maintenance and constant checking. It permits human error, but it does not accept intentional deviation from set standards. All this is possible only through the accommodating influence of management and the profession approach of all personnel to their own work. This everyday work is facilitated by the correct working methods, expert employees and a modern fleet.

When choosing an air trip, the cheapest option is often also the most polluting. This is because the cheaper option is often the one that, for example, consumes more or because it is operated by airlines using fleets of different standards. Because new technology is expensive, it means that the least polluting and better quality flights often cost a little more. The consumer is free to choose an air trip that might be as much as three times more polluting to the environment – and pay offset charges of as little as a couple of euros. The real costs of carbon dioxide and the effects on the environment are not reflected in the final bill.
