Highlights

  • In the January 2022 edition of Airliner World, we proudly present our first-ever ‘Powerlist’. Written by your enthusiastic editorial team, we closely examine our top ten carriers to watch in 2022 – featuring both big-name operators and some surprises.
  • Meanwhile, for those interested in commercial aviation’s illustrious past, we have a selection of historic treats. Firstly, we journey back to the 1950s for a look at the gigantic Saunders-Roe SR.45 Princess flying-boat. We then head to the turquoise waters of the Dutch Caribbean and Guianas, charting the history of ALM Antillean Airlines and Surinam Airways (SLM). Finally, we jump continents once again, this time arriving in Africa for a snippet of Ethiopian Airlines’ history with two exclusive chapters from a new book. Additionally, Martin Needham investigates the reappearance of the Pan Am livery on UK shores three decades after the company’s collapse.
  • Elsewhere, in a return to today’s aircraft action, Andreas Spaeth criss-crosses the globe to speak to Air France management about its new Airbus A220 and the company’s wider fleet plans as well as getting an update on Singapore Airlines and its subsidiary Scoot from their top executives.
  • Finally, we round-off this packed edition with a detailed report on Dubai Airshow 2021 and present some super-rare COP26-related movements in Scotland.

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.

In the December edition of Airliner World, we join Virgin Atlantic for a demonstration flight with a difference and take an exclusive look at the innovative ethanol-derived ‘drop-in’ jet fuel being developed in partnership with biotech firm LanzaTech. We also talk to the key players behind Emirates’ arrival into Edinburgh, a route that’s been a decade in the making, and we find out how the arrival of its first Embraer E190-E2s hasn’t been the only major development at Norwegian regional carrier Widerøe in recent months. Elsewhere in this issue, we profile Tajik flag carrier Somon Air, which is providing a vital lifeline to Dushanbe, the capital of a landlocked nation in an often-forgotten corner of Central Asia, while Virgin Australia pilot Mark Sandford recalls his journey from dentist to Boeing 737 captain. We also head to Seattle’s Lake Union to look at Kenmore Air’s seaplane operations, we go on board one of KrasAvia’s eye-catching Yak-42s for an unusual service from Siberia to Sochi, and we shine the spotlight on Canada’s de Havilland Comet 1s, a small fleet that endured mixed fortunes. Finally, we bring you our comprehensive coverage of worldwide news, including a full report from the ERA General Assembly in Edinburgh, plus Embraer launches its ‘market disruptor’, Air Tahiti Nui receives its first Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and Gatwick eyes a second runway.
