Airliner World | September 2026
The September 2026 issue of Airliner World is packed with exclusive reports, interviews and in-depth analysis from across the commercial aviation industry. We bring you all the highlights from this year’s Farnborough International Airshow, with Thomas Haynes reporting from one of the industry’s biggest events and examining the major announcements, orders and talking points to emerge from the show. We also head to Copenhagen as SAS unveils the biggest aircraft order in its history.
Elsewhere, we examine what Boeing’s new 737 MAX production line at Everett means for the narrowbody programme, travel to Rome to learn more about Wizz Air’s package holiday offering and visit the Caribbean to meet FlyMontserrat and discover the story behind the almost 40-year-old airline. We also chart the meteoric rise and fall of American Trans Air, once the largest charter carrier in the United States, and explore how airlines today are increasingly using ACMI as a strategic tool to manage risk, protect revenue and stabilise their networks.
On the business front, Martin Needham considers the US investment interest surrounding easyJet and what has made the airline an attractive takeover target. We also revisit the tragic Zagreb mid-air collision 50 years on, examining the chain of events that led to the loss of 176 lives, while in Wales we speak to Cardiff Airport CEO Jon Bridge about the facility’s resurgence and future ambitions.
Rounding out the issue, Airliner World is onboard the eagerly anticipated inaugural flight of Riyadh Air, offering a first-hand look at the Middle East’s brand-new airline as it takes to the skies.
