Airliner World April 2007

The February 2021 edition grants you exclusive access onboard an American Airlines Boeing 737 MAX demonstration flight before it resumed fare-paying services. Our US correspondent analyses the type’s grounding impact and speaks to key figures from the airline and wider industry observers to discuss efforts to rebuild lost trust. Elsewhere, as the industry continues to be hampered by the coronavirus pandemic, there is light at the end of the tunnel as we feature the first of a two-part series on aviation’s role in vaccine transport and look at what innovative designs have been created to keep customers safe onboard commercial airliners. Finally, we gain insight from two carriers holding their own during the pandemic as we chat to senior figures from Emirates and Volaris. Meanwhile, as most of us continue to be confined indoors, we will scratch that itch for all your travel needs with a stop in Alaska. Surrounded by mountains as far as the eye can see, we take a ride on the venerable DHC-3 Otter before making a thrill-seeking landing on a glacier. Our next stop is the German capital, Berlin, as we take front-row seats to bid an emotional auf wiedersehen to the much-loved Tegel, and a hello to the long-awaited Brandenburg. We round off this edition by concluding the second part of the Trident and look at the efforts aimed at quashing birdstrikes.
