The global and Indian scenarios of airport management are characterized by growing air travel demand and initiatives by governments and aviation authorities to expand airport infrastructure and ensure safe and efficient operations.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) regulates air transport services in India and deals with safety issues. Scheduled operators offer regular flights according to published schedules, while non-scheduled operators offer chartered flights without set schedules.

2) Ticketed Point Mileage (TPM) is the actual mileage used to construct a particular itinerary, which can be greater than, less than, or equal to the MPM.
3) Extra Mileage Allowance (EMA) is a mileage deduction or bonus that is subtracted from the TPM as a permitted grace allowance for traveling via certain cities.

It has accumulated losses of over Rs. 7,000 crore with high debt levels and has struggled to pay employees, fuel suppliers, aircraft lessors, taxes and bank loans.

@DAVIDEISEN3
Know it or not, your digital
footprint is wide and far, and
companies are taking advantage
of that data to predict your next
move. It’s enough to make the
most implacable unsettled, but
companies are mining this valu-
able information just the same.
Marriott International, for one.
The Bethesda, Md.-based
hotel operator and franchisor is
a powerhouse. With its acquisi-
tion of Starwood Hotels &
Resorts Worldwide, it now com-
mands 30 brands and has more
than 6,000 properties in 122
countries and territories, encom-
passing more than 1.2 million
rooms. According to Lodging
Econometrics, Marriott is fore-
casted to open 351 hotels with
43,587 rooms in 2018, 31 per-
cent of all U.S. hotels expected
to open. Lodging Econometrics
also reports that Marriott has
the largest franchise pipeline in
the U.S. with 1,410 projects and
180,647 rooms.
And it wants to keep it that
way. In order to do so, Marriott
is in a constant race to cultivate
new customers, retain legacy
ones and sign and open new
hotels in new markets. Part of
that job falls to Eric Jacobs, who
is the chief development officer
for Marriott International – U.S.
and Canada. Jacobs is respon-
sible for franchise and managed
growth for Marriott’s select
brands, which are Courtyard,
Sheraton, Four Points, Sprin-
gHill Suites, Fairfield Inn and
Suites, AC by Marriott, Aloft,
Moxy, Residence Inn, Element
by Westin and TownePlace
Suites.
That’s a lot of brands and
there is only so much dirt. “We
have to be smarter about how we
place our brands,” Jacobs said
during the Americas Lodging In-
vestment Summit. “What is the
business case? Part of branding is
making sure we deliver the right
product [for our guests] that is
best for our investor.”
DATA DIVE
To help make that happen, Mar-
riott enlisted Buxton, a customer
analytics company based in Fort
Worth, Texas. There is no lack of
available data: household profile,
including number of kids; type
of jobs held by family members;
their salaries; where and how
they spend their money and
even the type of jeans they buy:
“Levi’s or Gap,” Jacobs said.
Buxton manages more than
300 unique data sets and has ac-
cess to data from an astonishing-
ly high 116 million households,
said Jack Hall, Buxton’s VP of
strategic accounts. The company
helps brands identify who their
customer is, where they live and
work and what’s their overall
value to the brand.
“By looking at the number
of times someone travels—for
business or leisure—where they
live and what they travel for,
we can understand, by brand,
where the unmet demand is
for additional hotels and help
identify where that demand
is nationally, by market and
region,” Hall said.
The level and granularity of
data is what makes consumer
analytics a veritable gold mine
of information. Companies like
Buxton monitor and collect
data patterns, but it’s up to their
clients to turn the data into ac-

The presentation proposes that American Express buy Buddy Air, an established air taxi company. This would allow American Express to enter the air taxi market by acquiring a market leader, gaining access to Buddy Air's existing infrastructure and customer base. The presentation recommends that after buying Buddy Air, American Express could then expand Buddy Air's services to additional markets. A financial analysis shows that buying Buddy Air poses less risk than trying to build a new air taxi business, while also leaving room for growth opportunities.

Financing for Development - Domestic Resource Mobilisation and Infrastructure...donovki
The document discusses financing for sustainable development goals (SDGs) that will require significantly more than the $135 billion currently available from official development assistance.

Infrastructure projects in particular can have multiplier effects and increase economic growth and tax revenues to help fund further development. Significant annual global investments equivalent to 2.5% of GDP or $3-4 trillion will be needed in infrastructure such as roads, energy and water systems. Challenges include building capacity, preventing narrow interests from

Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.
