Airliner World Magazine March 2020 Zurück Ausgabe

As the first anniversary of the grounding of Boeing 737 MAX looms large over the assembly lines and storage airfields of Washington, we consider the programme, its past and its predecessors to provide a definitive guide to Boeing’s short-haul stumbling block and analysis on the company’s road to recovery.

Elsewhere in the March 2020 edition, we examine jetBlue’s meteoric rise as the company marks two decades and begins realising its transatlantic ambitions. Additionally, we travel to Hawaii for Hawaiian Airlines’ 90th anniversary, and step airside with Virgin Atlantic’s Skye Hester to learn about the role of a dispatcher.

Finally, we bring you our comprehensive coverage of worldwide news, including the Boeing 777X’s maiden flight, the first Airbus A350-900 destined for Aeroflot and a milestone for Surinam Airways, as well as bailouts and buy-outs for Flybe and Condor, respectively.

We also have all our regular sections covering the latest commercial aircraft acquisitions, up-to-date accident reports and developments from the world of aviation training and MROs.
