The world is racing to find a COVID-19 vaccine. According to the WHO there are more than 165 COVID-19 vaccine candidates currently under development, with a number of these having already reached the human-trial phase. In addition, according to Mr Glynn Hughes, Global Head of Cargo at IATA, there will need to be nearly 8 billion doses distributed globally. The volume of a shipment of that size would fill more than 8,000 Boeing 747 freighter aircraft, and that is just under th

Brookfield Education & Training management with the next generation of aviation students. There is no doubt that Covid-19 has been hitting business a lot in 2020. However, the development of the aviation industry in modern history is vital and inestimable to support the development of human transportation. In the future, the industry will follow the evolvement of history and introduce high-tech elements into the advancement of the next aviation era. The new generation of avia

The pandemic has resulted in travel restrictions around the world, forcing airlines to ground thousands of aircraft. While we all wait for countries’ borders to reopen, some carriers are only operating domestically, others are looking for alternatives to try and get their aircraft in the air, hence making some income out of it.

The Aviation Industry has overcome many challenges. It was in the late 1960s when aviation noise became a public issue. Since then, governments worldwide have applied legislative controls, challenging the industry to be quieter. As a result, aircraft designers, manufacturers and airlines developed quieter aircraft and improved operational processes. The creation and implementation of modern high-bypass turbofan engines, for example, which were quieter than the turbojets and l

Private jet utilisation it is a well-known concept for all of us, but nowadays the real shakers in the VIP world are customised helicopters. By combining smooth flights with luxury interiors and low noise signatures, VIP helicopter transport is an increasingly popular segment. From the market point of view helicopter air taxi and VIP services are making up a growing share of usage.

For many years, supersonic passenger transport has been a challenge for the world and for the evolution of aircraft. This marvel is capable of reducing time in flight, shortening distances, the best for crossing the ocean , better comfort and more than anything the satisfaction of the human being to keep developing new technologies defying the science and evolving in every single aspect of life. The Aérospatiale-BAC Concorde was the first supersonic aircraft in transporting p
