The organisation is predicting that airlines will not turn cash-positive until 2022, burning through an additional US$75–95 billion this year. If this prospect is indeed the darkness, as de Juniac says, the dawn may be with business aviation. While commercial airlines have lost around 55% of their flight volume due to the pandemic, entry-level jet operator GlobeAir saw its new accounts base grow by 89% during 2020 and has already registered a 17% increase in inquiries during January this year. “This trend may be due to the growth of converters and downgraders. The first being frequent flyers who have switched to private jet services (converters); the latter being private jet travellers who now prefer entry-level jet services (downgraders),” says GlobeAir’s VP of Marketing & Sales, Jonathan Berdoz. Private air charter specialist Air Partner expects private travel to continue to grow in popularity as the preferred method for transport, whether individually on private jets or groups on private commercial airliners. It is already fielding enquiries from wealthy clients about private jets to luxury destinations, including the Caribbean (including Barbados, Cuba, and St Lucia), The Seychelles, Iceland and Italy. PIONEER THE FUTURE Air Partner also believes senior business executives and the C-Suite will continue to travel as high-level face-to-face meetings remain critical – and when they do, companies will choose to protect their safety by flying them privately. The operator also predicts that for businesses moving large groups around the world, the use of We are looking forward to brighter skies ahead.

The winglets increase the spread of the vortices along the TE, creating more lift at the wingtips (figs. 2 and 3). The result is a reduction in induced drag (fig. 4). The maximum benefit of the induced drag reduction depends on the spanwise lift distribution on the wing. Theoretically, for a planar wing, induced drag is opti- mized with an elliptical lift distribution that minimizes the change in vorticity along the span. For the same amount of structural material, nonplanar wingtip 737-800 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS devices can achieve a similar induced drag benefit as a planar span increase; however, new Boeing airplane designs Passengers focus on minimizing induced drag with 3-class configuration Not applicable The 737-800 commercial airplane wingspan influenced by additional 2-class configuration 162 is one of four 737s introduced BBJ TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS The Boeing Business Jet design benefits. 1-class configuration 189 in the late 1990s for short- to (BBJ) was launched in 1996 On derivative airplanes, performance Cargo 1,555 ft3 (44 m3) medium-range commercial air- Passengers Not applicable as a joint venture between can be improved by using wingtip Boeing and General Electric.

  • Press Release
    Press Release Airbus and Green Africa announce strategic partnership with MoU for 50 A220s @Airbus #A220 @Greenafrica Singapore, 13 February 2020 – Green Africa Airways, Nigeria’s Lagos-based airline, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for 50 A220-300 aircraft, one of the major orders to be placed globally for the A220 programme and the largest ever from the African continent. Babawande Afolabi, Founder & CEO of Green Africa Airways said, “Together with Airbus, we are incredibly proud to announce the largest order ever for the A220 from the African continent. The Green Africa story is a story of entrepreneurial boldness, strategic foresight and an unwavering commitment to using the power of air travel to create a better future”. Airbus Chief Commercial Officer, Christian Scherer, speaking from the Singapore Airshow, added, “We are excited about the Green Africa project, its legitimate ambition and its professionalism, evidenced by their most discerning choice for their operating assets. The unique characteristics of the A220 will allow the airline to unlock destinations and route pairs that previously would have been considered non-viable. We look forward to our partnership with Green Africa and to accompany their development with the most efficient aircraft in its class”. The A220 is the only aircraft purpose-built for the 100-150 seat market; it delivers unbeatable fuel efficiency and widebody passenger comfort in a single-aisle aircraft. The A220 brings together state-of-the-art aerodynamics, advanced materials and Pratt & Whitney’s latest-generation PW1500G geared turbofan engines to offer at least 20 percent lower fuel burn per seat compared to previous generation aircraft, along with significantly lower emissions and a reduced noise footprint.

Publishing and media are a niche in the world of magazines. Airline names control distribution costs, and readership figures come from existing and ever-increasing passenger traffic.
