June 2020The June 2020 edition of Airliner World continues to bring you the latest industry developments during this unprecedented crisis. With traffic levels at rock-bottom, many carriers have begun transitioning from temporary furloughs to permanent layoffs just to stay in the black. Others have performed more drastic measures through the closing of bases and retiring aircraft, although some have already succumbed and entered administration. Our COVID coverage investigates the top 50 brands to understand which are most at risk, we look at a selection of the most interesting repatriation flights, analyse the impact of specific aircraft retirements and discover how government bodies are reacting to the devastating losses faced by airlines. Finally, we showcase how some are helping to transport vital PPE equipment to combat the deadly disease. As the lockdown continues to restrict many globally, Airliner World caters to your travel needs as the June edition brings you a special ‘Ultimate Airports’ supplement. Here we illustrate some of the most exciting, dangerous, and beautiful facilities ranging from the tropical shores of St Maarten to Paro nestled high in the Himalayas. Meanwhile, this edition also features many non-coronavirus articles as our contributors bring you high-tech engineering from the desert with visits to Strata Manufacturing and Etihad Engineering as well as analysing the rise of SkyTeam on its 20th anniversary. Finally, we bring you our comprehensive coverage of worldwide news along with our regular sections including commercial aircraft acquisitions, up-to-date accident reports, aviation training and MRO along with our second edition of historic aviation.
