This makes sense, aviation safety is paramount and global airlines need to ensure that all staff and passengers are safe.
Britain has now banned the Boeing 737 Max 8 from its airspace in the wake of the Ethiopian Air disaster over the weekend. Travel and tourism expert Dr Neil Robinson, from the University of Salford Business School, comments on what the knock-on effect of the decision could be.
Dr Robinson said: “This makes sense, aviation safety is paramount and global airlines need to ensure that all staff and passengers are safe. Countries that use the Boeing 737 Max 8 are right to suspend use / limit access to its airspace until the real cause of this terrible catastrophe is identified. My thoughts are with the family and loved one of those affected by these terrible events.
“Generally speaking Boeing have a good safety record and I suspect once the cause of the failure has been identified, the aviation travelling public will be happy to continue using the 737 Max 8. The potential problem here is that if Boeing do not do enough to reassure the travelling public of their planes future competence, carriers might look to use alternative providers. Airbus could potentially fill this gap, if the travelling public start to opt for European carriers whose modus operandi would be to use anything non Boeing related and this is where Airbus might potentially step in, add extra routes and increase product price accordingly.”

The Bill provides an opportunity to extend access to justice for victims of domestic abuse involved in child arrangement proceedings and to adequately safeguard their children.
Dr Kerry Ann Barry, expert in Domestic Law at the University of Salford, comments on new measures to protect domestic abuse victims.
Dr Barry said: “The long awaited Domestic Abuse Bill provides victims of domestic violence in the family court, for the first time, the same types of protection available in the criminal arena. The Bill not only extends the legal definition of domestic abuse beyond physical violence but importantly brings to an end the cross-examination of victims by their perpetrators.
“This change has been imperative since the removal of legal aid from the majority of family matters by the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act (LASPO) in 2013. Although LASPO left in scope matters involving domestic violence, the restrictive nature of the evidence criteria resulted in many victims being without legal advice or representation and facing the traumatic prospect of being cross-examined by their abusive ex-partner. The Bill provides an opportunity to extend access to justice for victims of domestic abuse involved in child arrangement proceedings and to adequately safeguard their children.”
