Airliner World  |  October 2023
On the 20th anniversary of Concorde’s retirement, Airliner World’s October 2023 edition pays homage to the supersonic icon in our free 16-page guide. We gain an engineer’s perspective on the mammoth efforts undertaken to keep the fleet flying, and why the legendary jet was retired well before its time. We also delve into Concorde’s final flight and meet the team working hard to preserve its remarkable legacy.
We sit down with Heathrow Airport systems engineer Mo Taher to hear how he helps keep Britain’s busiest airport moving, we head to Istanbul to find out what is driving the remarkable growth in Turkey’s commercial aviation sector, and we take a road trip from Bangkok to discover some of Thailand’s colourful retired classic aircraft.
We also delve inside KLM’s Boeing 777 transformation, investigate why Ampaire is betting its future on hybrid-electric technology, discuss the challenges and opportunities of the post-pandemic era with RwandAir CEO and new IATA chair Yvonne Makolo, and our classic Palma photospread features some of the more unusual and colourful airliners to visit the leisure hotspot of Majorca during the 1990s.
