Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV) and Air Nostrum Group have agreed to double the number of Airlander 10 under reservation to a total of 20 aircraft. Under the initial agreement, announced in June 2022, Air Nostrum Group had reserved 10 Airlander 10 aircraft, with a 100-passenger configuration. Under the new agreement, Air Nostrum Group has reserved a further 10 Airlander aircraft to underpin expansion of the Airlander network from Spain into the Mediterranean region, including Malta. #aircraft #transportation #sustainability

What is the most common aircraft type currently used in the #aviation industry? 🛩️ 🛫 ✈️ ❓ Airlines use a variety of aircraft types depending on their business model and markets. Smaller equipment such as turboprops and regional jets are the most used types on shorter and domestic routes, while widebody jets dominate the long-haul international routes. Narrowbody jets, on the other hand, are increasingly suited for a wide range of operations and are the most common #aircraft type currently in the industry. Narrowbody aircrafts benefitting from the latest technological improvements have become a key asset for #airlines in reaching sustainability, noise, and financial targets, while accommodating rising demand for air travel.

Stalled bizjet usage: Economic stagnation and geopolitical turbulence has stalled bizjet usage in Europe and Middle East. The powerhouse US market is holding up, lopsided towards large cabin aircraft demand. Activity in Europe: -13% vs November '22 -3% vs ’19 All bizjet airports in Europe are seeing fewer activity this month vs '22 Only Long haul flights (6-12hours) are ahead of last year by 6% Ultra long haul (12 hours) -38% vs. '22 Below: Top Business Jet airports, Europe, 1st – 12th November 2023 compared to previous years WINGX ADVANCE - Actionable Intelligence for Business Aviation (wingx-advance.com) https://lnkd.in/eKn4CDJi #onlynetjets #netjets #businessaviation #privatejet #privatejetcharter #bizav #aviation

Did you know that private jets fly at higher altitudes than … ? Our private jets fly at a cruising altitude of up to 45,000 feet (13,700 meters), which is higher than most commercial aircraft. Flying at high altitudes offers several advantages, such as higher fuel efficiency due to less fuel burn and much faster airspeed. This is because of the reduced aerodynamic drag caused by the thinner air at high altitudes. Additionally, flying at high altitudes allows jets to fly above most weather situations, making the flight smoother and more comfortable for our passengers.   If you're interested in aviation facts like this, follow us on Social Media! #flyeaviation #eaviation #eiseleaviation #privatejet #privatecharter #businessjet #businessaviation

Step 3 in navigating the flightpath to airline success? Precision in picking the perfect aircraft. It's about selecting sizes and configurations that not only meet route demand but also soar in operational efficiency. This strategic alignment is the key to unlocking higher profitability and sustainability in the challenging airspace of today's market. Make each choice count for a fleet that's not just fit, but optimal. #StrategicFleet #OperationalEfficiency #RouteOptimization #AirlineSuccess

Spain’s Air Nostrum Group, which also operates Ireland’s Hibernian Airlines Ltd and Malta’s Mel Air, has doubled to 20 its reservations for new, low-emission Airlander 10 airships from UK-based aerospace company Hybrid Air Vehicles Ltd (HAV), reports Tony Harrington for #GreenAir. The helium airships, which will seat up to 100 passengers and carry a 10-tonne payload, initially will be lifted and propelled by thrust-vectored hybrid-electric engines, which HAV claims produce 90% lower emissions than similar capacity aircraft. The company is targeting 2026 for test flights and 2027 for certification and entry into service of the first Airlander 10s, and is planning to add a zero-emission, all-electric model by 2030. Air Nostrum Group, which also operates regional flights on behalf of Spain’s Iberia, said the second tranche of ten airships was planned for operations from Spain to eastern Mediterranean destinations including #Malta. The airline group has also signed up as the first industrial partner for the development of a 50-tonne version of the airship, designated the Airlander 50. #sustainableaviation #electricaviation Mark Pilling Tom Grundy Charles Pace Madano Clara Taylor Mike Durham Nick Allman Oktawia Cannon #airships https://lnkd.in/eBSmY8Jn

🚀 Did you know? 80% of all light jet flights are surprisingly short! ✈️ Looking at 2023 data on light jet activity across the U.S. shows a fascinating trend: 📊 80% of flights are 2.5 hours or less. This perfectly illustrates the Pareto Principle at work in aviation. The Pareto Principal is well known as the “80/20 rule.” 🏆 The sweet spot? Flights around 1.5 hours are the most common, meeting the needs of countless travelers. Understanding these patterns helps the private aviation industry enhance services and streamline operations for maximum efficiency and passenger satisfaction. #AviationTrends #PrivateJet #FlightData #AviationInsights #ParetoPrinciple

Did you know that 12% of charter flights are canceled due to mechanical issues? Private aviation is a demanding industry, and despite its luxury image, there's unpredictable activity happening behind the scenes. "It's a game of every minute counts. If there is an ability for the operator to get an airplane airworthy so the customer isn't delayed, that's a win for everyone," said Michael Farley, CEO of Outlier Jets, in a recent Forbes article. #OutlierJets #privateaviation #privateflight #privatejets #MichaelFarley

#bizav #aviation #flight The U.S. Business Aviation (BizAv) market saw a 5.8% decrease in flight frequency from December 2023 to January 2024, albeit with a slight uptick in average flight duration. A year-over-year comparison from January 2023 to January 2024 showed a modest 0.65% reduction in the number of flights, yet flight hours increased. Regionally, significant states like Florida, California, and Texas experienced growth, whereas tourist-focused destinations, particularly those favoring Turboprop and Very Light Jets, like Alaska and Hawaii, faced notable decreases.
