When Southwest Airlines announced plans to start flying to Hawaii last year, Hawaiian Airlines was ready. Now, with the start of Southwest’s Hawaiian air service potentially only a few weeks away, Hawaii’s largest carrier is as ready as it will ever be. Hawaiian Airlines’ secret weapons? Its legendary customer service and a culture of constant improvement. If Southwest Airlines starts flying to Hawaii in 2019, as is widely expected, it might quickly find itself in a game of one-upmanship unlike any since airline deregulation in the 1970s………..
Airlines are not allowed to charter flights between two countries if they are not based out of either. That’s why you won’t find Delta selling trips between Canada and France, or Malaysia Airlines flying between the U.S. and England. Except, as the Wall Street Journal notes, when a 1944 treaty allows it. “Some airlines are allowed to carry customers between two non-native countries, usually when a fuel stop is involved,” writes Scott McCartney, the Journal’s Middle Seat columnist. “It’s called the fifth freedom. Established with an international treaty in 1944, the nine aviation freedoms lay out what commercial airlines can and can’t do throughout the world…….

On Friday, the first Chinese-built passenger jet C919 made its maiden flight, widely seen as a milestone for the Chinese aviation industry. The aircraft is expected to compete with the updated Airbus A320 and the new-generation Boeing B737 currently dominating the market. But it won’t start commercial operations till sometime between 2020 and 2022. How can it challenge the duopoly of passenger jet manufacturing? Turn to CGTN to learn more.
You work hard to earn airline miles, but if you don’t use them fast enough, they might expire or devalue. Or, maybe you want to help a friend fly for free with your miles. Here lies the question. Can you gift airline miles? In many cases, yes. But, the answer isn’t always clear-cut. Like anything, it depends on the airline, plus, you might have to pay a transfer fee. Note that gifting airline miles can be different than transferring airline miles. If you need to think of a unique Christmas gift, this could be an option……
Airplanes have had wings, controls and some kind of motor but planes have evolved significantly. The commercial airliner you fly in now has features that Orville and Wilbur wouldn’t have dreamed of. Here are 10 things you might not know about modern aircraft. Subscribe for more!

When you board a modern jet aircraft, you’re probably looking for your seat number and for the nearest emergency exit. The flange sticking out of the wing – While you’re waiting to leave the gate, you’re probably staring out the window at the wings that are going to carry you off this Earth. The hum when you board the plane –
Have you noticed that there’s an omnipresent drone while you’re waiting for the last passenger to board the plane? Tomato juice – Do you find yourself ordering a tomato juice when you’re on a plane? Opening window shades for landings and take-offs – I bet you thought the window shades were installed on planes so you can sleep during long flights.
Winglets – Airplanes are always a tug-of-war between the thrust of the engines and aerodynamic drag. Sidestick – Back in the day of the first planes, pilots were known as “stick and rudder men”, steering the plane by the power of their arms and legs pushing on control cables. Bleed air system – While the Wright Brothers’ Flyer barely flew above the dunes at Kittyhawk, today jetliners fly higher than the tallest mountains.
The eye level indicator on cockpit window – Pilots come in all sizes – and just like your car, planes have adjustable seats for them. The hole in your window – Since cabin pressure is so important, you might not think a hole in your window is a good thing…..
Captain Jürgen Raps and his co-pilot board the full-motion A380 simulator at the Airbus factory in Toulouse, and show us how to deal with a bird strike and subsequent engine fire on takeoff like cool-headed professionals. This small clip is part of a whole movie produced and owned by PilotsEye.tv…
Hello Captains! In this video we’ll discuss how Emirates Airline is able to purchase large fleets of aircraft and how exactly they’re financed. Currently, Emirates has 105 Airbus A380’s in their fleet, and 57 more on on order. Their total A380 fleet equates over £100 billion – do they have that kind of money to pay for their planes?

The Boeing 747 is an American wide-body commercial jet airliner and cargo aircraft, often referred to by its original nickname, “Jumbo Jet”. Its distinctive hump upper deck along the forward part of the aircraft has made it one of the most recognizable aircraft, and it was the first wide-body airplane produced. Manufactured by Boeing‘s Commercial Airplane unit in the United States, the 747 was originally envisioned to have 150 percent greater capacity than the Boeing 707, a common large commercial aircraft of the 1960s. First flown commercially in 1970, the 747 held the passenger capacity record for 37 years.
The four-engine 747 uses a double-deck configuration for part of its length and is available in passenger, freighter and other versions. Boeing designed the 747’s hump-like upper deck to serve as a first–class lounge or extra seating, and to allow the aircraft to be easily converted to a cargo carrier by removing seats and installing a front cargo door. Boeing expected supersonic airliners—the development of which was announced in the early 1960s—to render the 747 and other subsonic airliners obsolete, while the demand for subsonic cargo aircraft would remain robust well into the future…..
If you have ever traveled by plane, you know that take-off and landing are the most preoccupying moments of the entire flight. Which is not surprising at all, since up to 70 percent of all accidents happen in these moments, and sometimes only the great skills of pilots save the plane from falling and passengers from the tragedy. These conquerors of the air are so cool that they are capable of the most incredible things. Ready to take a look at some of them……
