Highlights
- In the August 2021 edition of Airliner World, we speak to industry legend David Neeleman about his boldest project yet. in an extended report examining his new airline, Breeze, we chat with the entrepreneur about its business model before we take our seat on the airline’s inaugural rotation.
- Neeleman isn’t the only head honcho speaking to us this month – don’t miss exclusive insights from the CEOs of Icelandic start-up PLAY and Italian leisure carrier Neos.
- For those with a keen eye on aircraft, we also have something just for you. We catch up with the CEO of Deutsche Aircraft about the firm’s plans to develop a more environmentally friendly, second generation Dornier 328, the D328eco.
- Elsewhere, we take you on a fascinating retrospective of Balkan Bulgarian Airlines. We comprehensively chart the origins of the carrier, analyse its fleet of Soviet-built workhorses, and investigate how the fall of communism led to its demise. If that historical fix wasn’t enough, then fear not as we look at the intriguing history of GB Airways in what would have been its 90th anniversary.
- Finally, we get our notebooks and cameras at the ready as we present some of the best government and military aircraft movements during the UK’s hosting of the G7 Summit. We also learn how Glasgow-based Loganair provided a vital air ambulance role during the pandemic, plus we journey to Germany’s Technik Museum Sinsheim to explore its awe-inspiring aviation collection.
