Book your 2008 flights in December for the best prices

We often get asked by our customers whether we think prices are going
to go up or down, and it's a question that is always difficult to
answer.

However most airlines and tour operators review their prices as soon
as they are back to work on 2 January, and for the past couple of
years there have been fairly large increases in prices for the Summer
across all destinations.

We can't guarantee this will be repeated this year, but our tip is
that if you see a bargain on our website in the next few days, don't
hold off until January as you may find that the price increases.

Of course in 2008 we still promise to offer discounted fares, and we
will continue to source the market for the cheapest flights around,
including exclusive deals that you won't find elsewhere.

Please visit our website at www.charterflights.co.uk
<http://www.charterflights.co.uk/>
or call our experienced reservations team on 0845 045 0237 for more
details.

Finally we would like to take this opportunity to wish all our
customers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Airport back in black

The Municipal Airport has soared away from home of debt.

According to Gary Van Dorst, Redlands' interim eminence of life director, the Redlands Municipal Airport finished the 2006-07 fiscal year with a balance of $25,000 after accounting designed for all expenses. That includes a balance service to the rock-hard Waste dissection for $128,000. The fiscal year ended in September.
Van Dorst said an eviction of a long-term tenant allowed the conurbation regain some of the airports hangars. The city now leases out the hangars.
"The city evicted one of its ground lease tenants, based on a long history of repeated defaults," Van Dorst said. "followed by we negotiated the purchase of their hangars meant for the appraised worth . In effect, we got rid of a floor lease agreement that was way below souk value."
Van Dorst said that the airport had operated in the red for many years, along with this positive adjust comes from the fact that Redlands actually owns its own hangars at the airport. Tenants pay rent to use the hangars, just as a renter would pay rent meant for a living wage space.
"The city actually didn't own any of its own hangars not at abode there before that," he said. "We leased the soil that the hangars are built on by means of others. along with those long term ground lease agreements were way under market value. They were into the range of less than a penny per square foot at what occasion the souk value is three to three and a half cents a square foot."
wealthy Scanlan, director of aviation and solid ravage management
meant for the city of Rialto, said that Redlands' move lying on the airport hangars was a first-class one.
"I show your appreciation their foresight," he said. "It's really a superior approach. If they're willing to take on top of the burden of being the landlord, it could turn out to be enormously beneficial used for them."
Because the metropolis was gifted to conclusion its business through hangar owners with agreements below market rate , the municipality was able to acquire 29 hangars of the airport's totality 150, and lease them to tenants without a middleman at the previous rental rates.
"We haven't increased anyone's rental rates by doing this, but the city is now the owner of those hangars," Van Dorst said.
Van Dorst said that the city is also inside the route of updating the Airport Master graph to comprise an economic revise to settle on the airport's contribution to the local economy.
Van Dorst said that the city's achievement of the 29 hangars required the airport to take on a few debt, bar through the money tenants compensate to lease their hangar legroom , the airport is now intelligent to disburse debt examine instead of drawing on the city's General Fund.
"We have turned it around," Van Dorst said. "This last year we had $128,000 in arrears service. A lot of that was interest, except that's still pretty fair-haired amount of debt tune-up . following that, we were $25,000 into the black. I'm exceedingly happy with that."
Todd Housley, manager of the Redlands Airport, said the financial outlook for the airport hasn't been this good in recent memory.
"That's not to blameworthiness anybody, but an airport is because a business serves a very narrow necessitate ," he said.
Van Dorst said that the next fiscal year could subsist another high-quality year for the airport.
're not going to be real talented to increase our debt service this next year, but we're also going away to have more change to take care of the airport," he said. "Sometimes you have to invest change and go into money owing to formulate it work."
by way of the fine art Scholl Memorial Municipal Airport in Rialto place to close down into 12 to 24 months to build way for maturity , the Redlands Municipal Airport stands to benefit by taking in any Rialto Airport tenants looking meant for a novel home.
"With Rialto's airport closing downstairs , people are going away to be there looking for a place to store their airplane," said Redlands municipality Councilman Mick Gallagher.
Housley said that new structures are being built to accommodate some of the new tenants that force undoubtedly migrate from the Rialto airport.
"Some of the businesses at the airport, reminiscent of Redlands connection are building new hangars to take some of those public from Rialto who are coming over to our airport," he said.
"I hope it will live a good thing designed for Rialto," Scanlan said. "Our tenants were given a survey asking where they would take their airplanes when the airport closes. A lot of tenants indicated that Redlands would be their choice."
The Redlands Municipal Airport is a 180-acre facility that has served the locale since 1947. The runway is 4,570 feet long with 75 feet extensive and serves more than 200 aircraft based there. Formerly managed by the city's Public Works division , the airport now falls beneath the umbrella of the novel Quality of Life sector .
Housley said that his intention is keep the airport running in such a way that it does not become a pencil in on the city's General finance .
"I want it to be completely self-sufficient," he said.
Gallagher mentioned his appreciation for the airport, a public asset that is now no longer operating at a loss.
"Operating by itself, it runs very well," he said. "I'm really happy to have something like that here in Redlands."

Air Arabia, which floated a 55 percent-stake to the free in April, raising 700 million dollars in the first contribute to garage sale by means of a Middle East carrier, reportedly plans to get between 34 and 50 aircraft during November.

The three-year-old carrier currently operates a fleet of nine leased A320s in addition to has carried 1.95 million passengers in the primary nine months of 2007, compared to 1.26 million passengers within the parallel period of 2006.

Aircraft lease securitisation with equipment reliance certificates

Aircraft leases are viewed by means of a variety of opinions. Some regard aircraft as "dangerous assets". They are posh to get and operate, they are rarely within one place intended for very long, they become subject to a wide variety of laws and jurisdictions, they cause enormous damage when they crash, etc.

Inspite of this, aircraft leasing is a growing trade World-in excess of . Aircraft financing business is huge in addition to is constantly growing. resting on educated guess , there are about 12500 commercial aircraft in the world with vis-а-vis 270 airlines. by means of most countries following open skies procedure , the number of aircraft is slated to enlarge substantially, by an annual funding requirement of approximately USD 50 billion.

Aircraft leasing formed a substantial chunk of the totality aircraft acquisition world-over. Financial leasing of aircraft was traditionally enhanced through tax benefits leading to a substantially reduced funding cost to the airlines, save for nearly everyone countries include , over the years, plugged tax provisions to make straight frontward financial leases tricky .

Currently, therefore, aircraft leasing is mostly done on operating lease basis. Of the 12500 aircrafts mentioned above, about 2500 are funded on operating lease basis. This has obviously resulted into substantial use of securitisation to provide funding to the lessors.

Not only this, aircraft operators have made direct employ of the securitisation technique by issuing Equipment conviction certificates.

Aircraft lease securitisations can take two forms - also securitisation of receivables out of leases with the aircrafting remaining the legal property of the originator, or those where the aircraft itself is sold to the SPV. The latter follows the device of Equipment Trust certificates (ETCs). While the aircraft lease receivable securitisation (aircraft lease portfolio securitisation - ALPS) is similar to any other securitisation, the ETC way is a unique technology applied mostly to the aircraft segment no more than .

Equipment trust certificates:

The equipment trust certificate is a exceed through trust issuing certificates, often stratified into older and subordinated, to the investors. The ETC gives the aircraft on financial lease to the aircraft. If the configuration involves senior-junior tranches, the subordinated segment is subscribed to by the airline itself, forming its equity in the transaction. This leads to an enhancement within the acclaim of the senior securities, which are then branded as Enhanced Equipment faith Certificates (EETC).

The original EETC transaction was done in 1994 by Northwest Airlines. Outside of the US, the first transaction was the 1998 issue of Ansett Australia. Since then, many such issues have hit the market.

One of the key issues in aircraft lease securitisations, whether under the EETC manner or ALPS mode , is to identify the legal and tax considerations applying in the several jurisdictions where the aircraft might be operational.
