MNG Airlines which holds a significant share of the air cargo sector in Turkey, has just signed with NAVBLUE to implement N-Flight Planning (N-FP) on its all-Airbus fleet of 9 aircraft.

Rome, 12 May 2022 - ITA Airways, Italy’s new national carrier, has taken delivery of its first A350, becoming the 40th operator of the type. The aircraft, which is on lease from ALAFCO, landed for the first time in Italy at Rome Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport on Wednesday evening.

“There will be a massive demand for aircraft maintenance technicians and engineers over the next 15 to 20 years, but the risk of shortages is real,” explained Christophe Ponnet, the Maintenance Training Operations Director for Airbus Customer Services. “This is due to such factors as the retirement of today’s ageing maintenance personnel, the COVID-19 pandemic’s effects on hiring and training, as well as less enthusiasm for a job that may not have esteem as being a pilot.”
