Airliner World August 2013

In the August issue of Airliner World, we mark the fifth anniversary of Airbus A380 operations with the type’s largest user, Emirates Airline and we chronicle the history of BAC’s ‘Pocket Rocket’, the One-Eleven. We also travel to Central America and examine how Air Panama is expanding its operations in the Tropics.
We profile two very different long-haul operations including transpolar-pioneer SAS Scandinavian Airlines’ resumption of North Pole routes to the US, and British Airways’ withdrawal of the Boeing 747 from its services to Australia. We also have a pair of usual picture spreads including Russian Air Force transports and rare images from the Pakistan International Airlines storage and maintenance area in Karachi.
The August issue of Airliner World also incorporates our comprehensive coverage of worldwide news including the maiden flight of the Airbus A350, the arrival of Thomson Airways’ first Boeing 787 Dreamliner and a full write-up from the 2013 Paris Air Show. 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.
