Airliner World Magazine November 2016 Retour à l'édition précédente

In the November issue of Airliner World, we go behind the scenes of Ed Force One, the customised Boeing 747 tour bus used by iconic rock band Iron Maiden, we examine how the BAe 146 is enjoying a resurgence in many new and unexpected second markets, and we look at how Small Planet Airlines has transformed from a modest Lithuanian company to one of Eastern Europe’s biggest leisure carriers.

Elsewhere in this edition, new Pakistan International Airlines Chairman Azam Saigol discusses his plans for the carrier, we hear how Tropic Air is transforming Belize’s aviation and tourism sectors and we cast a critical eye on the rapidly expanding unmanned air vehicles sector. We also remember Northwest Airlines, one of America’s great pioneering carriers and take a look at the Historic Aircraft Restoration Society’s recently restored Convair CV-440.

Lastly, we bring you our comprehensive coverage of worldwide news including details of a new joint venture between Lufthansa and Air China, Volaris welcomes its first Airbus A320neo, Bombardier adjusts C Series delivery schedule, La Compagnie axes its London Luton links and Cathay Pacific launches services to Gatwick.
