Aviation is a small world indeed! ✈️ Back in July 2001, Andrew conducted a Final Progress Check on an RAF Cadet Paul as he completed his Flying Scholarship. Fast-forward to a few months ago, he had the pleasure of inducting that same person into an Instructing Team at Yorkshire Aviation Academy. And just recently, he flew a Boeing 737-300 to Ibiza with none other than the same man! "It’s been fun to fly with Paul again after all these years and is proof, that aviation really is a small world!" #AviationLife #AviationIndustry

Air Astana: How Central Asia’s largest airline is looking abroad for growth Kazakhstan barely figured on the global aviation map back in 2006 when Sir Richard Evans, then Chairman of British aerospace and defense group BAE Systems, offered Peter Foster the top job at the newly established Air Astana. Foster, who had previously held senior executive roles at Cathay Pacific, Philippine Airlines and Royal Brunei Airlines, accepted the challenge to take the new fledgling national carrier and turn it into the largest airline in Central Asia.  AeroTime traveled to Almaty, Kazakhstan’s largest city and Air Astana’s main hub, for an extended conversation with Foster and to learn more about Air Astana’s current and future projects. “This region is a massive growth market. We are only really seeing the beginning of its potential,” he continued, highlighting that the Kazakh market still has quite some scope to grow if it is to catch up with other markets with similar demographic and economic parameters.  Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gVSB2iqs

✈ The first commercial passenger flight took place on 1st January 1914 between St. Petersburg and Tampa in Florida. The aircraft, a Benoist XIV piloted by Tony Jannus, carried a single passenger – Abram C. Pheil, the mayor of St. Petersburg. The flight lasted 23 minutes, covering 34 kilometres across Tampa Bay. 💸 The ticket for this flight was auctioned for $400, equivalent to over $10,000 today! This flight was groundbreaking, as it was organised by the St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line, the first regularly scheduled airline offering public transport. Up until then, aircraft flights were predominantly military, experimental, or private endeavours. 🚀 Since then, commercial aviation has continued to evolve, connecting people across the globe. Bartolini Air is proud to be part of this dynamic industry, offering training for the best pilots across Europe, preparing them for the challenges of the aviation world. #History #Aviation #Travel #Technology #BartoliniAir #AviationHistory #Airlines #AviationPioneers #Flying #PilotTraining #AirTravel #Innovation #FloridaHistory

It seems almost impossible that, with the Union being 90 years old, that this is the first time it has visited Montreal, the "Global Home of Aviation". It has been a great location. Hopefully it won't be another 90 years before we are back... #iuai #ICAO #IATA #Montreal #iuai2024 #emergingRisks #aerospaceinsurance #aviationInsurance #spaceInsurance

✈ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐥 𝐀𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐫 𝐈𝐈 🌍 Following the end of World War II, on 7th December 1944, the Chicago Convention was signed, establishing global standards for safety and regulation in civil aviation. The creation of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) 🌐 in January 1945 played a pivotal role in shaping international air transport. The war accelerated technological advancements, and experienced military pilots transitioned to commercial airlines, contributing to the professionalisation of the industry ✈. A significant milestone came in October 1958 with the introduction of the Boeing 707 🛫 – the first commercial jet airliner, which transformed civil aviation. The Boeing 707 offered faster speeds, longer range, and greater passenger capacity than earlier piston-engine aircraft. This innovation made transatlantic flights shorter, more accessible, and affordable, opening new opportunities for international travel 🌍. #CivilAviation #AviationHistory #ICAO #Boeing707 #AirTravel #Aviation
