Highlights

  • In the March edition of Airliner World, we brave the chill in Kazakhstan to join the handover of Air Astana’s Embraer E190-E2. Painted in a striking snow leopard livery, find out why the new jet is about more than just a swanky paint job and how it symbolises an exciting new phase for the Kazakh flag carrier.

Other highlights include our visit to Argentina to chart the rapid rise of LCC Flybondi, a progress check on the continuing shambles at Berlin Brandenburg Airport and we take to the skies above Sweden with the Saab team.
