Airliner World July 2011

August 2025 issue of Airliner World, incorporating Airports of the World, goes global as editor Thomas Haynes steps onboard one of Global Airlines’ first flights from Manchester to New York/JFK. It is one of the world’s most talked-about start-ups, and we chat to founder James Asquith to delve into the carrier’s story so far. Thomas also attended the recent IATA AGM in Delhi, which revealed a sector balancing record revenues with fragile margins, growing environmental pressures, and a need for urgent reform. Meanwhile, Robert Veitch headed to the south of France to speak to Franck Goldnadel, CEO of Nice Airport, to find out how the facility is looking to balance its expansion plans with its path to sustainability. Lee Cross was in Athens to tell the story of Aegean Airlines, and how the Greek company has grown into one of Europe’s leading carriers.

In the January issue of Airliner World we look behind the scenes at the Fort Lauderdale-based ultra low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines and we visit Las Vegas/McCarran International Airport, gateway to the gambling capital of the world. Maintaining our US theme, we join American Airlines on its inaugural Boeing 777-300ER flight from London to Los Angeles and sample its new Business Class offering. We also have a selection of images from one of Arizona’s largest airliner storage and scrapping facilities at Pinal Airpark. In the latest edition, Airliner World profiles the privately-owned Iranian operator Zagros Airlines and we hear how Proflight Zambia is expanding its network across Central Africa. Closer to home, we chronicle the history of UK short-haul carrier British European Airways and we join the Dublin-based Airliner Experience enthusiast group on a special Fokker 100 charter flight. The January issue also incorporates our comprehensive coverage of worldwide news including all of the announcements from the Dubai Airshow, BA Cityflyer’s ‘Toughpad’ and Manchester’s new Air Traffic Control tower. Finally, we have all of our regular sections covering the latest commercial aircraft acquisitions, up-to-date accident reports and developments from the world of aviation training. We also have details of our 2013 Photograph of the Year competition and offer readers the opportunity to win a 12-month subscription to Airliner World in our caption competition.
