Airports that Beat Boredom With Technology! Featured

Flying is always fun, but long waits for connecting flights can be boring, which is why airports continue to come up with different ways to make wait times less tiring and even productive. Last April, trying to escape the brutal winter, I proceeded on an overseas trip that took me through Toronto's Pearson, London’s Heathrow and Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airports.

International airports always have well-trained staff to deliver quality customer service to passengers. Their employees use every contact with you to impress you. Air Canada, British Airways and KLM – the national carriers of the three countries – offer the same quality of customer service and are obsessed with projecting a sublime image of their countries.

Although all three airports have charming employees, Pearson is my favourite. The airport is ahead of its time when it comes to providing affordable communication facilities to passengers to fight boredom and satisfy their communication needs. With a large iPad-equipped Internet cafe at Air Canada's Departure Hall, you can keep busy while waiting for your flight.

Schiphol is charming, too, but you only have free Wi-Fi access for 30 minutes. After that be prepared to pay, and it isn’t cheap. I love walking around the hall, exploring and shopping.

Heathrow, on the other hand, is among the world’s biggest and busiest airports. Following attentively the easy-to-understand signs makes navigating the huge place easy. What thrilled me about the airport are the inspiring adverts that keep exercising my mind each time I pass through there. Wherever you look, you’re sure to see a poster or billboard advert that speaks to you. Meditating on the advert messages keeps me engaged while waiting for my connecting flight.

So next time you travel and find yourself bored while waiting to catch your connecting flight, find a way to exercise your mind and body.

    In Malta, it is possible to incorporate a closed and a public limited company. The minimum share capital of a public company is €46600 and €1200 for a private company. At the time of incorporation, at least 25 per cent of the capital of a public limited company and 20 per cent of the capital of a private limited company must be paid up.
    Taxation
    Profits earned by a resident company, whether in Malta or abroad, are subject to income tax at the rate of 35%. However, Malta does not impose tax on dividends, interest and royalties remitted abroad (no withholding tax) and Malta has no transfer pricing or thin capitalisation rules.
    (transfer pricing-the sale of goods or services to interdependent persons at intracompany, non-market prices. They allow the redistribution of the total profits of a group of persons in favour of persons in lower tax states. This is the simplest and most common scheme of international tax planning aimed at minimising taxes paid;
    thin capitalisation – when the company’s activities are financed by borrowed funds).
    Value Added Tax is levied on the sale of goods, works and services in Malta. The VAT rate on the island is 18%. Some goods are subject to preferential rates of 5% (e.g. printed publications, hotel services) and 0% (medicines and foodstuffs). There is no property tax and there is no turnover tax on the transfer of shares in companies owned by non-residents. Malta also has no exchange control legislation and a Maltese company can conduct its economic activities in any currency in the world.
