Flight International, August 2024
Published on the eve of the Farnborough air show, our latest issue checks the health of the commercial aviation sector’s big two manufacturers.
We interview Airbus chief executive Guillaume Faury, and assess the scale of the challenge facing Boeing counterpart David Calhoun – and his yet-to-be-appointed successor. Plus, Brazilian airframer Embraer mulls its next programme options.
Don’t miss our report from NATO’s annual summit in Washington DC, as alliance members’ first donated Lockheed Martin F-16 fighters head for Ukraine. And Fokker Next Gen reveals its ambitious plans to develop an all-new, zero-emission narrowbody airliner.
Also this month, our half-year airline safety report details the industry’s notable accidents and incidents – and how a figure of only 11 fatalities could have been much higher due to four alarmingly close calls. Plus: Airbus nears A321XLR certification lift; Boeing’s $1.8 billion future fighter bet; and we mark the 70th anniversary of Lockheed’s C-130 Hercules.
