Virgin Atlantic has responded to IAG’s calls for more third parties to be allowed to operate facilities at Heathrow, but says IAG must also be willing to allow for more airline competition at the airport.

IAG boss Willie Walsh said the group had written to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to petition for greater competition on the operation of Heathrow’s facilities in order to keep passenger costs down as the airport prepares for expansion.

Echoing the statement, a spokesperson for Virgin Atlantic said: “We agree with Willie Walsh that Heathrow’s track record of delivering capital projects on time and on budget is not good enough. That’s why we have called for a Passenger Cost Guarantee; ensuring passengers don’t foot the bill for expansion through higher charges.”

Healthy diet for the rainy season

Along with the showers comes the risk of various diseases like food poisoning, diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera. Again, in rainy season, digestion is generally weak. Therefore, you should eat less. It is also essential to fast once a week or fortnight. People eat some incorrect food during this time and fall sick. To protect your health, follow this dietary guideline: •Avoid heavy, salty food, as it promotes water retention and bloating. It is better to have medium or low salt food •Eat foods which are drying in nature, the most popular being corn, and oats, among others. Eating watery foods like rice and watermelon creates swelling in the body •Maintain the general hygiene while eating out and definitely avoid roadside vendors, as very few people have the high immunity to handle the bacterial overload at such places •The milk is the better diet in this season. Drink butter milk, as it improves digestion. Oily food should be taken in less quantity •Eat li

When fibroid co-exists with pregnancy

                        Dr. Samuel Adebayo Uterine fibroid, also known as Leiomyoma, is a benign (non-cancerous) tumour of the uterus (womb). Fibroids are the most common benign tumours in females and they occur during the reproductive years. They occur in up to 50 per cent of women. The exact cause of this tumour is unknown; but some factors are associated with increased chance of developing uterine fibroid. A family history is a factor. History of fibroid developing in women of the same family or race plays a role in a woman’s life. African women have between two and three times chances of developing fibroid than white women. Also, African women develop fibroid at a younger age, usually in their 20s and above, unlike white or caucasian women where fibroid may occur in their 30s or 40s. No pregnancy or low pregnancy rate increases the risk, just as early onset of menses may also increase the risk of developing uterine fibroid. Obesity, alcohol consumption, and hypertension may

Aviation Sectors Groans Under Rising Cost of Operations

-
The current scarcity and high cost of aviation fuel, coupled with the weak value of the naira have been identified as the main factors preventing the growth of the aviation sector. While fuel alone gulps half of the operating costs, other challenges like the high cost of providing standard air transport services, increasing demand for customer satisfaction by air travellers and rising cost of operation, are giving the operators hard times, the Director-General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Capt. Muktar Usman, said. Usman, while delivering a paper entitled: ‘The acts of promoting a sustainable air transport economy while maintaining high level of aviation safety standards,’ at the Airport Business Summit and Expo, said that aviation fuel, otherwise called Jet A1, constitutes between 40 and 50 per cent of the airlines’ direct operating costs, which he said was having an untold effect on the performance and profit of domestic airline operators due to the supply cris
