Airliner World April 2015

In the April issue of Airliner World, we examine some of the options available to those seeking a career in aviation with our free 24-page Aviation Training – the Essential Guide supplement. We join Qatar Airways for the inaugural commercial service of the new Airbus A350 XWB and we profile Germany’s low-cost and air cargo hub, Cologne/Bonn.
Elsewhere, we reveal the winners and highly commended entries to our annual Photo of the Year competition, and we mark the retirement of the last passenger-carrying Boeing 767 in Australia. We also feature a personal account of battling Canadian bush fires alongside the venerable Hawker Siddeley 748, linking South Africa’s game reserves with Federal Air and we hear how Sky Airline is cementing its position as Chile’s second carrier.
The April issue also incorporates our comprehensive coverage of worldwide news, including the end of the line for EuroLOT, Avianca selects the Airbus A320neo, Scoot receives its first Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the European Regions Airline Association reveals its new strategy. 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 and MROs.
