A bumper 132-page December 2021 edition of Airliner World kicks off with an exclusive guide celebrating a decade of the Boeing 787. We begin by charting the Dreamliner’s origins, before jumping aboard the type’s maiden fare-paying service with ANA. However, despite the 787’s major success, we also analyse some of the ongoing problems that continue to plague the popular widebody. Finally, we present comprehensive information on the type’s specifications and deliveries. Following on from COP26 in Glasgow, we take a closer look at how the aviation industry aims to decarbonise, including through sustainable aviation fuels and radical clean-sheet designs. Meanwhile, staying on theme, we investigate the rising popularity of rail travel globally and its potential impact on flights – we also offer counter insight from Modern Railways’ editor Philip Sherratt. For those more accustomed to historic aviation, we take a fascinating look at the Airspeed Ambassador, while our very own Martin Needham delivers the concluding part of his visit to British airliner classics at Duxford.

In the January edition of Airliner World, we head to Olbia to find out whether new Qatar Airways affiliate Air Italy is a new flag carrier in the making. We also hear from Atlas Air president and CEO William J Flynn about how the company has evolved into the world’s largest ACMI provider, and we remember Air Europe, the humble British leisure carrier whose global ambitions ultimately led to catastrophic failure. Elsewhere in this issue, we shine the spotlight on Swoop, WestJet’s plucky new budget subsidiary that aims to revolutionise the way Canadians (and even some Americans) travel, and we find out how Stockholm’s Arlanda – once largely bereft of the traditionally Swedish ‘form and function’ – is now a model of efficiency. We also make the trip to New Zealand’s South Island and fly to the eighth wonder of the world, the Milford Sound fjord, we join the freight dogs on the jumpseat of the last Boeing 737-200 in the Philippines, and we chronicle the development of the Ilyushin Il-86/96, the Soviet Union’s first and only widebody airliner family.
