Airliner World Magazine September 2020 Zurück Ausgabe

The September 2020 issue of Airliner World grants an exclusive access all areas on the Boeing 777 after it reaches a 25-year milestone of commercial service. Our Thomas Haynes speaks to the manufacturer and a retired captain on the merits of the highly successful ‘big twin’ and what lies ahead. Meanwhile, we celebrate the end of another Boeing legend, the 747. As the sun sets for many passenger-operated jumbos, we look at the type’s half-century association with a variety of French carriers.

Elsewhere, we chat with social media star, Chris Pohl, a Virgin Atlantic training captain on his journey from outback flying in Australia to the left-hand seat of the Airbus A350-1000. Meanwhile, we get onboard a Lufthansa acceptance flight, chart the history of the Britten-Norman Trislander and speak to European Aviation Group’s chairman about PPE flights.

This issue also keeps you updated with the latest developments regarding COVID-19 as a trainee pilot details future job prospects, plus we investigate how companies from the aviation supply chain sector are mitigating the fallout.

Additionally, Airliner World gets artistic as we delve into the realm of aircraft coatings, looking at the fascinating, and often overlooked role they provide. Plus, we speak with the co-founder of PriestmanGoode on aviation design and the potential innovative technology for the post-COVID world.

Finally, we bring you our comprehensive coverage of worldwide news along with our regular sections of commercial aircraft acquisitions, historic aviation, up-to-date accident reports and MRO.
