Ebook: Flight International World Airlines 2012

Welcome to 2012’s Flight International World Airlines, our annual directory that provides key information on every airline across the globe operating scheduled services or flying a significant number of charters

Flight International’s World Airlines directory contains information on 1,500 airlines, which are listed alphabetically. The selection criterion has been to list operators with one or more aircraft with more than 19 seats. Where justified by significance of service or national carrier status, airlines operating aircraft with fewer than 19 seats are included, as are some helicopter companies that operate a significant number of scheduled passenger services. The directory includes scheduled or charter cargo operators.The listing includes, where possible, non-jet commuter and regional operators that meet the inclusion criteria, but is not a complete guide to air-taxi services.Data incorporated in the directory from Flightglobal’s ACAS database is correct up to early 2012. It includes contact details/addresses and where relevant the airline’s three-character International Civil Aviation Organisation airline designator code in () and the two-character IATA code in []. Also included are telephone and fax numbers (including international dialling codes), partners and shareholders and senior executives. A brief description and history are provided where appropriate. Fleet data, correct to early 2012, including in-service (but not parked aircraft) and firm orders – shown in () – for turbine-powered aircraft, is sourced from Flightglobal’s ACAS database – for more information visit flightglobal.com/acas or telephone +44 (0) 1788 540898.Some information on piston-powered types is included. In the case of wet-lease operators, aircraft are generally recorded in the fleet of the company for which they are flown, rather than the carrier that operates them (if the two are different).
