Airliner World July 2022

Highlights

  • In the July 2022 edition of Airliner World, we head ‘Down Under’ following the blockbuster deal between Qantas and Airbus. With this landmark moment for Australian aviation, the order – which includes the A350-1000 – will make the flag carrier’s much anticipated Project Sunrise a reality, with record-breaking, direct flights such as Sydney-London planned from late 2025. We detail the developments, and provide historical context and analysis; plus, we cover additional information from the commitment regarding Qantas’ narrowbody fleet renewal.
  • We stay in the Southern Hemisphere and journey to Brazil as Embraer marks 20 years since its first E-Jet took flight. We learn about the programme's development from those instrumental to its success and discover the type's importance to air transport as praised by the operators who fly them.
  • Meanwhile, with Summer rapidly approaching in the Northern Hemisphere, we get in the holiday mood with Lufthansa spin-off, Eurowings Discover, as we speak to the firm’s CEO, and board one of their long-haul rotations. Elsewhere, we speak with Royal Jordanian Airlines’ chief executive to discuss post-pandemic strategy.
  • To conclude, Gordon Smith delivers the second part of his UAE trip as he goes behind the scenes with the Etihad Aviation Group. We then explain Cornwall Airport Newquay’s role in the UK’s first sovereign satellite launch, present impressive archive imagery of Croydon Airport and preview key trends of the upcoming Farnborough Airshow.
