Airliner World Magazine June 2026 Vorige editie

The June 2026 issue of Airliner World takes readers from the flight deck to the desert, from the Caribbean to Cyprus, and from the cabins of tomorrow to the airline crises of today. We join SunExpress at London/Gatwick for the unveiling of its striking new ‘Eagle’ livery and speak to commercial director Helmut Wölfel, before reflecting on the MD-11’s fading role as the iconic trijet moves deeper into its operational twilight.

This month, we also examine what defines a challenging ‘Category C’ airport, recall the remarkable return of a Boeing 747-400 from storage at Victorville, and report from United Airlines’ major passenger experience showcase. Elsewhere, interCaribbean Airways CEO Trevor Sadler discusses the colourful carrier’s island-hopping network, while our Aircraft Interiors Expo 2026 coverage reveals the latest innovations heading for future cabins.

Also inside, we investigate the complex aviation fallout from the war in Iran, chart the rise and fall of the original Cyprus Airways, and look at how Aer Lingus has shaped its modern identity as it prepares to mark 90 years of flying.
