Here's how to prepare for your next Air Canada flight. 🇨🇦✈️

✈ 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

✈ 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

It is interesting to see people reacting to a flight incident that could happen to any plane, #Boeing or not. It is also interesting to see how the media exaggerates a lot of what goes on around us without an actual proper analysis of the causes of the problem. The news are interested in interviewing people to keep the news cycle going and the stock prices. It looks like Boeing has issues that it needs to deal with. No one is analyzing these issues. Boeing is definitely not talking about it. If it did talk about it in 2018 & 2019 maybe we won't be here! That was my observation then and it is still the same now. #Safety starts with transparency. Go back to the basics and focus on "What" is right as opposed to "Who" is right. Even if that who is a VP or a CEO of a major company. Safety must come first and something needs to be done now. Actually something should have been done 10 years ago since this is related to strategy decisions that were taken around a decade ago! The interesting point in that interview is the #DEI concept mentioned by Mr. Poli. Smart observation and spot on on a matter that will have huge safety effects in many fields simply because it does not make any sense. No one talks about it because it is not politically correct! But this guy did and he is right. Kudos to #FabrizioPoli #safetyculture #aviationindustry #strategy #boeing

Sustainable hydrogen aviation has a long way to go before becoming a mainstream, but some parts of the big picture are getting done through baby steps. #SeaCheetah #H3Dynamics have found an interesting approach to build it avoiding jumping the gun. Great idea!

🔴 Alaska Airlines will launch nonstop flights between San Diego and Washington, D.C.'s Reagan National (DCA) using Boeing 737 aircraft, offering daily, year-round service starting soon.
