Airliner World | May 2026
CATHAY SPECIFIC
Airliner World May 2026 is led by a landmark anniversary feature on Cathay Pacific, as the Hong Kong carrier marks 80 years of operations. From inside its headquarters, this in-depth report explores how the airline is rebuilding and repositioning itself for the future, balancing its long-haul legacy with the realities of a rapidly evolving global market.
From there, the issue broadens into a compelling mix of industry analysis, airline insight and first-hand reporting. A visit to ATR’s Toulouse headquarters examines the manufacturer’s bold ambitions in the United States, offering a detailed look at strategy, market challenges and the ongoing effort to reshape perceptions of turboprop travel.
Aircraft development and heritage are also central themes. As Boeing approaches the first flight of the 777-9, we reflect on the history and significance of the 777X programme, placing its long-awaited debut into context. Alongside this, a retrospective on Britain’s Boeing 727 operations explores why one of the world’s most successful trijets struggled to gain traction in the UK market.
The operational side of aviation is explored through a diverse set of global perspectives. In Bangladesh, Air Astra’s ambitions highlight the dynamics of a fast-growing domestic market, while in Australia, Cairns Airport’s post-pandemic evolution offers insight into how regional gateways are adapting to shifting travel patterns.
The issue also features a photographic snapshot from Anchorage, capturing the unique atmosphere of one of the world’s key cargo hubs, while a vibrant selection of photos from Jakarta showcases the energy and scale of Southeast Asian aviation.
