This week, one of our most popular news articles is about Nigeria’s Air Peace, which would like to cooperate with Norse Atlantic Airways to launch flights from Lagos to London Gatwick as they struggle to secure their slots. We thought it would be interesting to compare them to each other in this graph. Norse Atlantic Airways holds 44 weekly slots at London Gatwick for the Summer 2024 season, utilising 32 so far. Air Peace was authorised to operate in the UK in November 2023 but has yet to secure market access. It operates one Boeing B777-200ER and two Boeing B777-300s, as well as a fleet of narrowbody and regional aircraft unable to reach the UK non-stop, including seven Boeing B737-300s, six Boeing B737-500s, one Do328-300, eight Embraer E145s, and five Embraer E195-E2s. It has a firm order for five Embraer E175s, ten Boeing B737-8s, and eight more Embraer E195-E2s. Norse Atlantic Airways didn't respond to ch-aviation's query about leasing or trading its slots to Air Peace. Norse Atlantic Airways's Senior VP (Communications), Philip Allport, said the airlines only had "an initial informal meeting" regarding the potential cooperation. #chaviation #aviationnews #norseatlantic #airpeace #boeing #embraer #gatwick Norse Atlantic Airways Air Peace London Gatwick Boeing Embraer Philip Allport Bjorn Tore Larsen Thom-Arne Norheim Bård Nordhagen Barr Allen Onyema Toyin Olajide

It seems almost impossible that, with the Union being 90 years old, that this is the first time it has visited Montreal, the "Global Home of Aviation". It has been a great location. Hopefully it won't be another 90 years before we are back... #iuai #ICAO #IATA #Montreal #iuai2024 #emergingRisks #aerospaceinsurance #aviationInsurance #spaceInsurance

Russia's S7 Airlines has officially signed a significant agreement to acquire 100 Tu-214 aircraft, marking a pivotal moment in the airline's expansion strategy. This deal comes at a time when the aviation industry is seeking to modernize and diversify its fleet. The Tu-214, developed by Tupolev, is known for its reliability and efficiency, making it an attractive choice for airlines aiming to enhance their operational capabilities. With this acquisition, S7 aims not only to expand its route network but also to improve fuel efficiency and passenger comfort. This move reflects broader trends within Russia’s aviation sector as local carriers pivot towards domestic manufacturing amidst global sanctions limiting access to Western aircraft. As S7 Airlines prepares for growth in both regional and international markets, this investment signals confidence in Russian aerospace technology and commitment toward enhancing passenger travel experiences across its flights.

At the end of April, the New Trends in Civil Aviation 2024 (NTCA) conference was held in Prague ✈️. This was already the 24th year of a series of conferences organised by the Department of Air Transport of Fakulta dopravní ČVUT v Praze 🎓.   The objective of these conferences is to provide a platform where members of communities interested in air transport operations and applications are able to interact. The conferences are designed for both specialists from practice and academics and serve as a forum for exchange of opinions and experience regarding technology, methodology, applications, and case studies as well as real cases in both civil and military aviation. NTCA originally used to focus on the Central European region, especially the Czech Republic and Slovakia, only but has gradually attracted the attention of other countries around the world.   Czech Airlines Technics was the silver partner of the conference with Aneta Komárková, Ondřej Trčka, Hubert Pikl, and Lubos Pirek present on behalf of the company. #CSAT #pragueairport #aircraftmaintenance #maintenance #aviation

It was great speaking to Jiří Marek about Air Serbia’s upcoming plans, including that long-awaited third A330-200, China growth, the national carrier’s growing Embraer fleet, and more… The interview is out now on ch-aviation (see link in the comment section). Also, a special thanks to Arsen Rudan.

What's the highest price you'd ever pay for a plane ticket? We're guessing less than $123,000, which is the exact amount of the highest price ever paid for a flight. For the maiden flight of the A380 in 2007, an Australian millionaire bought the ticket to fly from Singapore to Sydney. That's roughly $15,400 per hour! If you had $123,000 spare, where would you want to travel to? Let us know in the comments below ⬇️ #ukaviation #aviation #airlines #aviationrecruitment
