MEMORABLE FLIGHT
The November 2026 issue of Airliner World takes readers behind the scenes of some of the biggest stories shaping commercial aviation.
We join Edelweiss on the flight deck of one of its last remaining Airbus A340s for a memorable four-engined day trip from Zurich to Faro and back, while Robert Veitch speaks to Air France-KLM about its growing UK presence, including a new Heathrow lounge and the arrival of the Airbus A220 at Gatwick.
Elsewhere, we examine LATAM’s next chapter as the group prepares to introduce the Embraer E195-E2, looking at how it has emerged from bankruptcy, reshaped its fleet and positioned itself for a new era of growth. We also head to Mirabel, home of the Airbus A220, to tour the assembly line and explore what could come next for the programme, including the prospect of a stretched A220-500.
There is further industry insight from ATR CEO Nathalie Tarnaud Laude, who discusses supply-chain pressures, growth opportunities in India and the US, and the challenge of keeping the turboprop manufacturer ahead of new competition. Embraer Commercial Aviation CEO Arjan Meijer also outlines how the Brazilian airframer is looking beyond its regional aircraft roots as it enters its next phase of growth.
We also look at the developing NOEMI battery-electric amphibious aircraft programme, revisit the tragic story of LaMia Flight 2933, and examine Boeing’s two-decade descent to consider whether the US manufacturer has finally started to turn a corner.
Plus, there is our comprehensive global news review, the latest aircraft deliveries, MRO developments, aviation training updates, air safety reports, UK visitors, reader comments and much more.
