Highlights

In the December issue of Airliner World we travel to Siberia to find out how UTair has transformed itself, moving from the brink of failure to becoming one of the nation’s leading airlines, boasting a fleet of more than 230 fixed-wing aircraft and 350 helicopters. We also take a fascinating journey following the wing manufacturing process at Airbus’ Broughton facility, from the first aluminium billets being milled, through to the completed wings being delivered to the final assembly line in Toulouse, France.
We examine the new Cameroon carrier, Camair-Co charting its early development and its exciting plans for the future, and look at the increase of Eastern European visitors to the Greek island resort of Rhodes, for so long, a popular holiday destinations for British tourists. Then there is a trip down memory lane charting the history of British Caledonian, 25 years after the carrier was taken over by the newly privatised British Airways. There are two picture features focusing on Russian-built airliners flying in Cuba during the 1980s, and ‘FlightFest’ Dublin – a major flypast over the Irish capital as part of ‘The Gathering’ celebrations.
This latest edition also incorporates our comprehensive coverage of worldwide news including the new Business Class cabin being introduced by Singapore Airlines and the handover of the first Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner to Royal Brunei Airlines, plus there is a full round-up of all the news from the 19th World Routes event held this year in Las Vegas. We have all of our regular sections detailing the latest commercial aircraft acquisitions, up-to-date accident reports and developments from the world of aviation training. Finally, there are details of our 2013 Photograph of the Year competition – the closing date of January 17, 2014 is approaching fast!

Airliner World February 2021

January 14, 2021 jamesm Back Issues Comments Off

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.
