Airline Healthy Fare

Many commercial experimented (and still do) with various healthy foods they can offer their in-flight passengers. But they have found that passengers still rather choose the salty and carbohydrates-filled goodies versus the healthier fare. Some of the reasoning behind these less-than-optimal choices is because people that are flying aren’t necessarily eating because they are hungry, they are eating because they are bored and are looking to pass the time. Alaska Airlines offers several coach class options including vegan and gluten-free foods as well as chicken and vegetable meals. However, they found passengers rather order the quarter-pound cheeseburger. United Airlines tried offering active and organic snack boxes with high protein, low-fat and organic items in the past, but ended up donating most of the food to food banks before eliminating them from their menu. Their most popular now is a tapas snack box that has nine different foods from almonds to olives. Delta Airlines has many choices including a low-fat Greek yogurt with fruit and nut bar, toffee-caramel popcorn and Pringles.

If you’re looking to have specific foods, including a gourmet and healthy fare, charter a private jet with Sky Limo Air Charter. We’ll offer you the very best of meals in flight along with the utmost privacy and flexibility of managing your own itinerary and schedule. Sky Limo’s private aviation company also offers jet concierge services that can make sure you have gourmet groceries at your hotel in your final destination.

Advanced Imaging Technology at Airports

For those times you aren’t able to charter a private jet, Sky Limo Air Charter is helping you understand Advanced Imaging Technology with help from the TSA website. Since 2007, AIT is being used at airports. The technology, millimeter wave and backscatter, can detect plenty of threats to help protects passengers. AIT can screen passengers for metallic and on-metallic threats such as weapons, explosives and other objects that are concealed. The millimeter technology bounces electromagnetic waves off the body to create a black and white 3d image, while the backscatter technology projects low level x-ray beams over the body to create a reflection of the body that’s displayed on the monitor. You should know that the AIT is safe and meets the national health and safety standards. After numerous evaluations for the backscatter, the results confirmed that the radiation doses per screening were below the dose limits specified by the American National Standards Institute. The AIT is even safe for children, pregnant women and people with medical implants.

Avoid Newark Airport When Possible

The Wall Street Journal reports that 40 out of 100 most delayed flights in the U.S. depart or arrive at Newark Liberty International Airport. This according to data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

Even with half an hour extra padding, the 5 PM flight was still 30 minutes late on six out of every 10 trips. One of the problems is the traffic over Washington DC.

President Obama Restores Full Funding to FAA

According to cnn.com, today, President Obama signed the legislation temporarily restoring full funding to the Federal Aviation Administration. This allowed 4,000 federal employees to go back to work and brought back tens of thousands of jobs in the construction industry and other fields tied to the airport improvement projects that were put on the backburner because of the funding shortfall. The bill was passed with unanimous consent which allows two senators to approve a bill as long as there are objections filed. The political issues that made created the funding shortfall are not resolved as of now. Both Democrats and Republicans have different views on whether or not subsidies should be given to smaller rural airports, specifically in Nevada, Montana and New Mexico. Both parties are also debating whether to make it easier for airline employees to unionize. These issues will be discussed in six weeks’ time. This agreement is the 21st short-term funding extension.
