April 2020We start the April issue of Airliner World in Seattle as the Boeing 777X completes its maiden flight. We examine the prospects for the new widebody, check out the technical specifications and ask if a successful launch campaign will be enough to revive the fortunes of the US aerospace giant. Across the pond, we’re also in Copenhagen as SAS Scandinavian Airlines enters an exciting new era with the arrival of its first Airbus A350. We speak to the key decision makers and learn more about the flag carrier’s ambitions for the jet as part of a wider sustainability push. Elsewhere, we have the first of a two-part retrospective examining the fascinating history of British Airtours, complete with rare archive imagery and first-hand accounts. We also travel to Montreal to welcome the first of Air Canada’s Airbus A220-300s, venture to Russia’s remote White Sea coast in search of rare Soviet relics, and warm things up in Dubai with an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour around the Emirates Flight Training Academy. Finally, we bring you our comprehensive coverage of worldwide news, including all the news and analysis from a rather subdued Singapore Airshow, a new Senegalese service for Stansted and Aegean Airlines reveals its slick new livery. 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.
