We are firmly charging into a new era of travel, led by innovations and explorations that seemed impossible or, at best, highly unlikely only a few years ago. New planes, new routes, new partnerships and new strategies are the name of the game for the year ahead … not to mention that ...
Although it’s not the fastest Wi-Fi available, it is the most consistent, with hundreds of Ku-Band satellites orbiting the earth, meaning that the airplane’s antenna will be more likely to maintain a signal.This bandwidth, when potentially split across many users, is generally not up to ...
Satellites come in a variety of shapes and sizes and perform many different functions, but they all have several things in common. All of them have a metal or composite frame and body, usually known as the bus. The bus holds everything together in space and provides enough strength to su...
an industry going from “zero to 60” as travel rebooted post-lockdown; increased demand for “revenge” travel; and mass retirements across the industry, many of which were encouraged as a way of saving money for companies while planes were grounded. The rebound situation has been “unprecede...
How long does it take to go from First Officer to Captain? Many of our graduates report going from FO to Captain in as little as 4 years with regional airlines. However, a more realistic range is 4 to 12 years, especially among the legacy airlines. ...
While flying at 35,000 feet, you may wonder how fresh, clean air circulates through a pressurized cabin. Unsurprisingly, manufacturers have spent decades mastering the complex process. Planes fly in conditions that are inhospitable to human life. As atmospheric air pressure decreases, so does oxy...
Different types of planes Turkish Airlines operates many types of long-haul aircraft. If you read any Turkish Airlines economy review, you’ll see that the type of plane you’re flying on matters. You could be on a Boeing 777-300, or an Airbus 330. You might get to fly on the newest...
Many airlines have made large offset commitments that go beyond CORSIA and offer their customers the option to pay offsetting costs themselves. Overall, however, only about 50 percent of airlines offer customers an opportunity to offset flight emissions, and the process to do so can be c...
Oversight of the transfer of aircraft control: Once the planes are out of the local jurisdictions, air traffic controllers monitor the transfer. NAV CANADA's jurisdiction only extends as far as within Canada's borders. Once aircraft move into foreign airspace, local air traffic controllers transfer...
