Dubbed ‘The Best Expedition inthe World’, the challenge will seeSouthall kayak and sail 1,600kmfrom the town of 1770 to Cooktownto spread the meesage of research,education and conservation of theworld’s largest coral reef. “Our aim is to encourage morepeople from around the world toexperience the Islands of theGreat Barrier Reef and perhaps toget involved in research andprotection of the reefthemselves,” Lawlor said.

THE Netherlands’ “drug tourism”industry may take a hit after acrackdown by Dutch authoritieson home-grown marijuana. As part of the move 30,000households in Rotterdam and TheHague will receive special‘scratch ‘n’ sniff’ cards to helpthem detect whether theirneighbours are cultivatingcannabis on a large scale. Authorities say that althoughthey turn a blind eye to thosewho grow up to five marijuanaplants for personal use, they’reconcerned about the estimated40,000 bulk plantations hidden inpeople’s attics - which can be afire hazard because of theelectrical equipment needed tomaintain the right growingconditions. When the special cards arescratched they reveal the scentof marijuana as well as the phonenumber of a police drug hotline.

It cangreetvisitors inEnglish, Chinese and Korean andincorporates in-built tour guideflags which “act as side stays,providing good support andcreating an attractive bust line”. Triumph said it was “identifyingand making good use ofabundant tourism assets that stillremain untapped in Japan”.
A380 European directive THE European Aviation SafetyAgency has issued an interimairworthiness directive for A380aircraft operating the Rolls RoyceTrent-900 aircraft, orderingrepetitive inspections of parts ofthe engines to “detect anyabnormal oil leakage, and if anydiscrepancy is found, toprohibit further engine operation”. The move follows the suddensuspension of three SingaporeAirlines services from London,Sydney and Melbourne (TDyesterday), with those aircraftheading home to Singapore (withjust crew on board) to each havean engine replaced. Singapore Airlines deniedreports that the London crew hadrefused to operate the flight afteroil was found in one of theturbines, saying this was“absolutely incorrect” - and also
claimed that passengers on thesuspended LHR flight were nottold that Rolls Royce had placedan “embargo” on the A380 Trent900 services. SQ Regional Vice PresidentSouth West Pacific, Subhas Menon,told TD that initial engineinspections by SIA had found“nothing untoward,” but furtherinvestigations had seen RollsRoyce recommend replacing thethree engines - leading to thecancellation of the services. The EASA safety directiverequires mandatory engineinspections within 10 flight cyclesand thereafter for every 20sectors operated by the A380s. This morning SQ issued anupdate saying that alternateaircraft had been put in place tooperate its Sydney and Melbourneflights through until 17 Nov, withthe A380s to resume service oncethe precautionary engine changeshad been carried out in line withthe Rolls Royce recommendations. There are no changes to SQ’sSYD and MEL schedules as a result,and the carrier said if necessary itwould mount supplementaryflights to meet demand. MEANWHILE Qantas also todayreleased an updated A380-freeschedule for its internationalnetwork for the “coming weeks”. QF said that while it’s committedto returning the superjumbos toservice as soon as possible, “thiscontingency schedule has beendesigned to provdie certainty forcustomers planning to travel inthe near future”. 747s have been replaced byA330s on Sydney-Narita, whileA330s have been replaced by 767son Perth to Singapore and A330swill operate Sydney-Hong Kong. “These changes will enableQantas to operate 747s on longhaul international servicespreviously operated by the A380,”the carrier said.

Qantas GST fight THE Administrative AppealsTribunal in Sydney is currentlyhearing a case in which Qantas isdisputing whether GST is payableon cancellation fees and forfeitedfares paid by no-show passengers. QF has been disputing the GSTassessments issued by theAustralian Taxation Office overthe last four years, and is seekinga “hefty refund” according totoday’s Financial Review. The ATO has previously ruledthat Qantas makes a so-called“taxable supply” even beforepassengers take a flight, andtherefore GST is payable oncancellation fees and forfeitedfares for no-shows. QF’s legal representativeyesterday argued that “take-off isthe path that leads to supply” andin cases where no flight is takenthere is “simply an agreementthat if you don’t take a supply,we’ll keep your money”.
