✈️ It’s #AviationHistoryMonth! Did you know that the current speed record for circumnavigating the globe by air was set in August 1995 by the Concorde? The flight started and ended at JFK in New York City and lasted 31 hours, 27 minutes, 49 seconds, beating its own record by over an hour.

8th AFI Aviation Week 2023, African Aviation Professionals, discussing Solutions for Our Challenges....that's the way

Happy World Pilot’s Day to all our followers from the EUROPEAN HELICOPTER ASSOCIATION The date was selected by the International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations (IFALPA) in 2013 as a day that saw a prominent figure in aviation history, Fesa Evrensev, taking to the sky for the first time. How appropriate that a significant part of our industry is together in Vienna for the HeliOffshore Ltd conference with the main theme being how we move from cooperation to collaboration in the interests of improving safety so no lives are lost in offshore aviation - an aim and sentiment we support universally.

Collaboration and integration are the keys to modern airspace, according to Tim Arel - Federal Aviation Administration Check out his latest interview with Airspace magazine here and let us know what you think in the comments below: https://hubs.la/Q02dW_qh0

In a significant meeting at DFS in Langen, CEO Arndt Schoenemann and Major General Stoye convened to discuss the future of aviation safety and innovation of future airspace usage. This collaboration underscores the importance of strategic partnerships in advancing our airspace's security and efficiency. The leadership and vision of figures like Mr. Schoenemann are pivotal in navigating the complex landscape of air traffic management. It's through such dedicated efforts that we can look forward to a safer and more reliable air travel experience. #DFS #aviation #EUROCONTROL #CMC

Many are not aware that Air France's first few Aerospatiale-BAC Concorde aircraft were delivered in the airline's pre-1976 livery. Variations of this earlier color scheme had been used for decades by the French flag carrier. It was replaced by what could legitimately be called the very first "Euro-white" look. This is the design the company still uses, in slightly modified form, today. F-BTSC is seen here in the old livery, having been photographed in early 1976 at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. Sadly is was -BTSC which became the first, and only, Concorde to be involved in a fatal crash (in the year 2000 on departure from this very airport). After a long grounding for safety modifications the Anglo-French supersonic transports were returned to service with Air France and British Airways in 2001. The type was then permanently grounded in 2003 due largely to continuing very low load factors during the worldwide air traffic downturn in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington D.C.

As part of our 2023 Aviation, Aerospace & Defense Study we have analyzed the past results of the multi-hub strategy of Lufthansa Group, which is a critical cornerstone of their recent acquisition of a relevant stake of ITA Airways and the potential development of the Rome airport hub. Looking at Swiss e Austrian Airlines after 5 and 10 years from their full integration in Lufthansa Group, both airlines achieved a higher growth in their hubs compared to the growth of Lufthansa in their Frankfurt and Munich hubs. This might be a favorable prediction for the future growth of ITA Airways in the Aeroporti di Roma hub for national and international flights. #airlines #aviation #airports #aerospace #growth

A good detailed article from FlightGlobal about the Airlander project from Hybrid Air Vehicles Ltd and Tom Grundy. Well worth a read if you want a good precie of where they are at. The comments about “fishing in the same pond” for Advanced Air Mobility funding is a pertinent one. When I attended the Future Aviation Forum in Riyadh in May it was a strong theme. When you look beyond that, anything we can do to protect our planet is a good thing. Looking at a product that can reduce C02 emission by 90% it has to be worth pursuing. Some the characteristics of Airlander will need those of us in the aviation/aerospace sector recalibrate our traditional thinking to truly see the benefits of this to a number of sectors. The analogy I use is “imagine trying to explain a helicopter to a person who only knows what a fixed wing aircraft is!” These are the kind of products and thinking that will give us that paradigm shift we need to make a difference. #rethinktheskies

Airlines International Representation in Europe (AIRE), alongside the main associations of the European aviation sector (ACI EUROPE, Airlines for Europe (A4E), CANSO, European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) , European Regions Airline Association, Aerospace, Security and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD) and International Air Transport Association (IATA)) adopted a Joint Industry Declaration stating our commitment to make Europe the most efficient and environmentally friendly skies in the world to fly. ⏩ Associations will, as an immediate first step, work together to update the EU ATM Master Plan, that serves as a common roadmap for SESAR. #SustainableAviation #EUAviation ✈
