Airliner World Magazine January 2023 Zurück Ausgabe

In the January 2023 edition of Airliner World, we kick-off another jam-packed issue by grabbing a coveted seat on Virgin Atlantic’s much-anticipated inaugural flight to Tampa – a route plied exclusively by its new flagship, the Airbus A330neo. We hear from key players at the UK carrier, including its chief customer and operating officer, to find out why the widebody type is such a game-changer, and what the addition of Tampa brings to its wider network. Plus, we provide our expert verdict with a flight review of their A330neo.

We journey to Kazakhstan to learn how Air Astana is transforming its business and cementing its position as the leading airline in the region as we sit down with key senior management figures from the flag carrier, including its president and CEO. From one chief executive to another, we head to Guernsey to gain a fascinating insight into Aurigny with CEO Nico Bezuidenhout.

We also explore why the Boeing 707 was so popular with British carriers, experience the next level of realism with flight simulators and talk sustainability with United Airlines. We discover why Antalya is such a plane spotter’s paradise and gain a unique insight into the logistics of photographing Lufthansa’s maiden Dreamliner from a helicopter.
