Episode 10: The need for space. Will airlines invest in social spaces once again?

For those in business class, A380s were flying palaces, with majestic bars or even showers for those in First Class. It’s one reason why post-pandemic Emirates will become a carrier of choice for many passengers who are looking to travel in relative comfort. However, the 787s, 777s and A350s (on the whole) don’t offer such spaces, which means passengers’ only reason to get out of their seat is to visit the lavatory. So we ask the question, should airlines start to invest in more social spaces in their new fleets?

Episode 9: Will regional carrier Widerøe be the first airline to provide an electric-powered commercial aircraft in 2026?

The partnership between Rolls-Royce and airframer Tecnam was announced last year, however they’ve just connected the dots, expanding on Rolls-Royce 2019 partnership with Widerøe. Their combined goal is to deliver an all-electric passenger aircraft for Widerøe, the largest regional airline in Scandinavia, and a plan to enter revenue service in 2026. The idea of electric aircraft becoming commonplace has been bandied around for quite a few years now, but this could be the first partnership to actually materialise in just 5-years time.
