All aviation stakeholders want to forget about 2020 and focus now on the actions that will streamline and bring some light for the recovery of our industry. However, we must face the cold reality that more than half of the world’s airline pilots are still not flying right now according to a recent survey by FlightGlobal. Although, we do not expect a full recovery in 2021, we are already seeing some healing signs with regional operations opening gradually in certain corners of

Reducing global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is the critical global challenge of our time. Consequently, many countries have set themselves legally binding targets on achieving net-zero carbon emission by 2050 such as the UK, France, Denmark, Hungary, New Zealand, Japan and South Korea; Sweden by 2045. Aviation accounts for approximately 2.5% of overall global CO2 emissions according to data cited by Our World in Data. Over the recent decades significant technological devel

There is no secret that Private Aviation has seen a smaller disruption in operations during the pandemic. David Simao, CFO of Airjetsul in Portugal has said that “the demand has grown close to 10% since the restrictions of travel were implemented”. Other Companies like JetASAP, Victor, Blade and Flyjets have managed to make private flying even more popular and affordable to the public. Fly Sharing has offered flights for as little as 100 USD per trip. According to Flyaware.c

One of the most important milestones in my life was pursuing the Masters degree in Air Transport Management at Loughborough University, UK. I was born and raised in Vietnam, having had a huge passion for aircraft and airports since a very early age. Prior to my study in aviation, my education and career had nothing to do with planes. Then I decided to start doing something that I love, and it has really enabled me to take a step forward in my aviation career. What the course

“Fello Fly Project” is an Airbus major focused on saving resources utilising the principle of formation flying. This project is inspired by the migratory Geese that always travel one after the other applying the energy recovery flight technique of the wake. This technique consists of "surfing" or "gliding" the air of a leading bird, which allows them to use less energy during their long journeys. The project seeks to reduce high rates of pollution by reducing CO2 emissions; f

The aeronautical industry is under pressure to reduce its impact on the environment. Even though no other has invested as much money in improving its performance, aviation emissions and noise keep being motives of concern for government and the general public. Leading manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus have seen in Flight Labs and testing programs a very efficient alternative to bring innovation to processes and prototypes for the next generation. They frequently conduct

According to data released by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Covid-19 has caused severe damage to international connectivity, changing the ranking of the world best-connected cities. London was the most connected city in the world in September 2019. In September 2020, its connectivity plummeted 67%, and its ranking dropped to eighth. Shanghai ranks first among the four best-connected cities in China (Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Chengdu). New York (do

In my last article, I discussed how the pandemic was accelerating change by pushing the Aviation industry to act quicker in the fight against global warming. Following this line, a UN global poll has found that people want action. With 1.2 million people questioned worldwide, the largest-ever opinion poll on climate change has found more than two-thirds consider climate change as a global emergency. This attitude towards change is more relevant than ever as countries around t

Along with the Covid continuation, international travel is very limited, resulting in the modest number of aviators getting new jobs anywhere. The most remarkable stories we witnessed are about our aviation personnel who travelled the longest journeys on the earth to start new Brookfield contracts. The first story is about Capt. Giovani, travelling in December 2020. His trip was from Colombia to Vietnam, lasting around 3 days with 3 transits. He had to choose flights with ver
