Sakhalin carrier services an interesting destination
Article Abstract:
Sakhaliniskie Aviatrassy (SAT) is one of the new Russian airlines that emerged from the breakup of the old Soviet air system Aeroflot. Unlike Aeroflot, which was notorious for its inefficiency and miserable service, SAT boasts friendly flight attendants, newly refurbished planes and a wide variety of services that include complimentary champagne, newspapers and well-prepared meals. The airline flies out of Sakhalin and offers the best way of getting to this scenic and culturally diverse island.

Can this be the Air China I used to know and love?
Article Abstract:
Air travel in China has traditionally meant primitive airports, indifferent personnel and chaotic conditions. However, all this is slowly changing as the country moves to modernize air terminals and fleets. Western tourists may still grumble at the in-flight service but it has definitely improved from the days when in-flight meals meant dry, hard bread thrown into a cardboard box. Stewardesses can now speak passable English and they seem to have learned how to be cheerful and attentive.

Bluer skies on horizon for China Airlines
Article Abstract:
A management overhaul following the Nagoya crash in 1994 has brought out a new China Airlines. China Airlines, which is Taiwan's national carrier, is hounded by its dismal safety record and criticisms over its ownership by ex-air force officers. The company bounced back after changing top-level personnel, streamlining the airline's operation and hiring the services of Lufthansa Technik to reorganize pilot training and plane maintenance.
