Back Issues
Airliner World March 2018
In the March issue of Airliner World, we hear how a vibrant domestic market and rapidly growing international traffic is driving Vietnam Airlines to become a major force in Southeast Asia. We also find out how US budget carrier Allegiant Air has found its niche serving smaller regional airports, and we profile the wave of ultra-low-cost operators attempting to break the Air Canada/West Jet duopoly and conquer the Canadian market. Elsewhere in this edition, we shine the spotlight on the small heavyweight, Hahn Air, which operates just three small business jets on twice-weekly scheduled services, yet it sold more than 30 million tickets last year. We also chronicle the history of the venerable Tupolev Tu-154 – in many ways the definitive Soviet airliner – and we learn how bmi regional is preparing for a looming global pilot shortage.
