    So, I'm taking a business class and have to present the international aspects of a company of my choice (even made-up). Not surprisingly for you guys, I chose Delta. It's a company I'm somewhat familiar with (at least the NW side of things) and there are plenty of things to talk about that an airline would have to deal with for international flights. There's the obvious, like advertising and currency, but also language (including flight attendants, above-wing ground crew, reservations, etc), airline regulations in different countries, airspace laws, and fuel costs. That's what I have so far, and I'm sure I'll have more soon, but I was just wondering if anyone else had any suggestions? I just ask not to go into too much detail. My teacher is pretty laid back, but I want to be able to do some of the work here, too . Just a word or two for any subject you might have is all I want.

    Thanks!

    Local labour/employment regulations, catering and waste disposal (e.g. at MIA all waste from foreign aircraft must be incinerated), foreign occupational health and safety regulations (e.g. heaviest acceptable bag weights), politics (freedoms of the air, amount of flts etc), local laws regarding noise pollution (can result in curfews, bans on certain aircraft all together), taxes (amount, collected in ticket or at airport etc)
