Airways Magazine’s Post

In an interview with Asian Aviation Magazine, Azorra CEO John Evans shares his insights on the growing demand for smaller, crossover jets in Asia Pacific.  “We are certainly seeing healthy and increasing demand in Asia across all aircraft types, including wide-bodies and especially, a new trend in Asia, towards smaller 100-150-seat crossover jets,” says John. Reflecting on the supply and demand imbalance facing airlines in Asia, John shares how Azorra is helping to “fulfill some of the crossover capacity demand” with its “near-term order book [of] Airbus A220s and Embraer E190/195-E2s and by redeploying current generation aircraft upon lease expiries from other regions into Asia.” Read the full article below. #aviationnews #azorranews #aircraftleasing #Embraer #Airbus #A220 

The Farnborough International Airshow: the event where orders are made and the future of aviation is showcased firsthand. Like many of you, we attended many times, driven by both professional and personal interest. However, with Airbus Aircraft possibly turning down new aircraft orders due to its massive backlog, it raises the question: can airports manage the influx of current and future aircraft? Is it feasible to increase the number of aircraft stands, or have we reached the point where "sweating the assets" is no longer enough? We firmly believe it's time to rethink and structurally improve critical processes, as aviation growth outpaces the physical expansion capabilities of airports. Want to learn how?

ATLANTA- Airbus has formally requested an exception from the FAA to permit the installation of a front cabin with doors on A321neo aircraft intended for a "U.S. operator (Possibly Delta Air Lines)." The proposed configuration includes 16 Business Class seats, 12 Premium Economy seats (referred to as Premium Select), and 120 coach seats. #AirbusA321neo #DeltaA321neo #DeltaAirLines #DeltaAirLinesA321neo #DeltaAirLinesNews #DeltaAirbusA321neo #Deltaairlines #DeltaAirlinesNews #DeltaNews #DeltaNewsroom

I do wish we would move this debate on. Of course a single pilot can fly the plane. Indeed for the majority of the time (IMHO) the aircraft is being flown by no-human pilot. What we need is a way to see how BEST we can manage the situation where a single pilot is sitting in a single space. Once we turn the discussion there - perhaps we can make progress. Will that happen? Doubtful. All I can say is watch out below and in China. #singlepilot #safety #airlines

We know how many times we, pilots are causing incidents/accidents, they say, most of them are caused by us pilots - human factor as we call it. Who will tell to us/media/passengers clearly...how many times we, pilots, humans solved technical failures, avoiding incident or accident, which could have been visible for passengers/media etc.? Only operators/airlines have all statistics, and they should publish them, 'cus current way of communication is giving a fals picture.

A top Airbus official said the quiet part out loud – their plan is to bring pilotless aircraft to the market, downplaying safety risks and showing unwarranted confidence in technology and automation. #Pilots know, as no other, that technology, no matter how sophisticated, fails. This is one of the many reasons why there are two on the flight deck at all times. #2pilots are integral to the functionality of a safe flight and are the backup, bridging technology gaps, adapting in real-time to unforeseen situations, and ensuring aviation safety. Profit & commercial incentives are a risky driver for innovation. ----------- https://lnkd.in/eKV_FhHh ----------- Take action: visit www.safetystartswith2.com and reach out to your pilot union to support the campaign against eMCO.

Airplane manufacturers produce very performant airplanes which bring in the cockpit some of the newest technologies . Unfortunately, for the last three decades, they made choices that do not provide the pilots with the most logical tools and aids to fly efficiently. Strategy, from the beginning, may have been to get rid of pilots, at the end. For instance, on any airbus types: - Pilots do not have access to the thrust easily, so they let the autothrust control speed and are no longer able to pilot trajectory instinctively and precisely. - Controls are not sensitive/responsive to effort, so pilots lose feel of the airplane when handling the aircraft manually. They prefer to let the autopilot do. - On the flight deck, fans make much more noise than jet engines whose instruments are small and not easy to read. - Normal Flight laws are leading pilots far away from the natural laws: On a basic airplane, losing power in a climb attitude will force the airplane to nose down as it is trimmed to maintain angle of attack. That may be considered 100% safe. On any airbus type, losing power won’t provoke any attitude change and the angle of attack will increase approaching stall. Then the protection will come into action… That may surprise the crew who, then, could be at fault when responding! - Joy sticks may be operated in opposite directions and the result isn’t easily definite.., Year after year, pilots lose their skill and are being replaced by autonomous systems. Private pilots on light aircraft gain more handling experience after a short ride than the airline pilot on long haul duty. This strategy is certainly driven by profit but will it maintain safety? That is the true question.

Airbus Kicks Off 2024 with Strong Momentum! It secures 31 A350 orders and delivers 30 aircraft. Airbus now boasts a backlog of 8,599 planes. The demand for A350s, especially from Delta Air Lines and Ethiopian Airlines, surpassed expectations. A solid foundation for another successful year ahead! Do you think Airbus A350 will continue to be the most favorite aircraft? Do you think airlines will order some other Airbus models? Comment below and let us know what you think. #Airbus #AviationNews #AirbusLovers #AirbusA350
