Airliner World Magazine May 2013 Edição anterior

In the May issue of Airliner World we profile Australian budget carrier Jetstar, one of the most potent assets in the Qantas Group’s arsenal. We also visit the headquarters and maintenance facilities of South African Airways subsidiary Airlink.

We remember former British independent carrier Dan Air on what would have been its 60th anniversary, and we examine the ‘dark art’ of secondary slot trading; finding out how airlines gain access to London/Heathrow, the UK’s busiest air hub. We also have photographs of some of the recent UEFA Champions League-related visitors at Manchester, and we travel to Lisbon to speak with Portuguese wide-body leasing specialist Hi Fly.

From South America, we examine how VivaColombia’s low-cost revolution is transforming the country’s commercial aviation sector, and we head to Ecuador to look at Quito airports, old and new. We also bring you part 2 of former chief pilot Bob William’s personal account of launching a new airline, and we review Aerosoft’s Flight Simulator X addon, Airbus X Extended.

The May issue of Airliner World also incorporates our comprehensive coverage of worldwide news including the latest on Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner, major orders from Ryanair, Lion Air, Turkish Airlines and Swiss International Air Lines, and a look at Cello Aviation’s latest Avro RJ85. 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.
