Airliner World Magazine April 2017 Zurück Ausgabe

In the April issue of Airliner World, we bring you the 2017 edition of our UK and Ireland Airlines Guide, plus we profile London/Southend-based niche operator extraordinaire Jota Aviation, fly on Lufthansa’s new Airbus A350 WXB and join Franco-Italian manufacturer ATR for its first biofuel trial.

Elsewhere in this edition, we pay a visit to Palm Springs, one of Southern California’s fastest growing airports, and we re-examine the vexing disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, three years after the aircraft went missing. We also remember the versatile Soviet workhorse, the Tupolev Tu-134, and we put FlyJSim’s Boeing 727 Series v2 X-Plane add-on through its paces.

Lastly, we bring you our comprehensive coverage of worldwide news, including details of a major Boeing order from Singapore Airlines, SAS Scandinavian Airlines pursues an Irish AOC, AirAsia X heads to the US, British Airways expands its Manchester operations and Qatar Airways launches the world’s longest non-stop flight, plus a preview of Air Canada’s new livery and a snapshot from St Maarten. We also have all of our regular sections covering the latest commercial aircraft acquisitions, up-to-date accident reports and developments from the world of aviation training and MROs, and we give you the opportunity to win a year’s subscription to Airliner World in our caption competition.
