Airliner World  |  May 2016
In the May issue of Airliner World, we celebrate the 80th anniversary of Irish flag carrier Aer Lingus, which has endured a turbulent decade but is now poised for a brighter future as part of IAG, we profile leading commercial engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce and we fly the practical and powerful Pilatus PC-12.
Elsewhere in this edition, we chart the brief but inspiring history of British Commonwealth Pacific Airlines, go hunting for classic and unusual aircraft types in Southern Africa and mark International Women’s Day with Jet2.com. We also examine how Línea Aérea Amaszonas is fending off stiff competition in the Bolivian domestic market and we look at the Multi-Crew Pilot Licence, an alternative path to the co-pilot’s seat.
Lastly, we bring you our comprehensive coverage of worldwide news, including a full round-up of the Airbus Group’s annual press conference, Boeing kicks off 787-10 assembly, Brussels Airport re-opens and Volotea takes delivery of its first Airbus. 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 chance to win a year’s subscription in our Caption Competition.
