Airliner World  |   March 2018
In the March issue of Airliner World, we hear how a vibrant domestic market and rapidly growing international traffic is driving Vietnam Airlines to become a major force in Southeast Asia. We also find out how US budget carrier Allegiant Air has found its niche serving smaller regional airports, and we profile the wave of ultra-low-cost operators attempting to break the Air Canada/West Jet duopoly and conquer the Canadian market.
Elsewhere in this edition, we shine the spotlight on the small heavyweight, Hahn Air, which operates just three small business jets on twice-weekly scheduled services, yet it sold more than 30 million tickets last year.
We also chronicle the history of the venerable Tupolev Tu-154 – in many ways the definitive Soviet airliner – and we learn how bmi regional is preparing for a looming global pilot shortage.
Lastly, we bring you our comprehensive coverage of worldwide news, including details of the first US order for ATR’s -600 series, Boeing secures type certification for the 787-10 and Emirates commits to acquire more Airbus A380, plus China Airlines returns to London and Italian carrier Neos welcomes its first Dreamliner into service. We also have all our regular sections covering the latest commercial aircraft acquisitions, up-to-date accident reports and developments from the world of aviation training and MROs, and we give you the chance to win a pair of return flights with MIAT Mongolian Airlines.
