AERO INTERNATIONAL's Jan 2025 Issue: Etihad's Future, Pilot Careers & Green Aviation
The latest issue of AERO INTERNATIONAL, set to release on January 10, 2025, delves into the future of Etihad Airways, the pilot career landscape, and the green initiatives shaping the aviation industry. This issue also features an interview with SunExpress CEO Max Kownatzki and a special on ATPL training.
Etihad Airways has shifted its focus to shorter routes, with flights up to seven hours in duration, following the COVID-19 pandemic. The airline's plans for 2030 and the current state of pilot career progression are discussed in the issue, providing insights for aspiring pilots like Isabella Sauer, who has held a private pilot license since May 2025 and works at AERO INTERNATIONAL.
Wizz Air's five ATPL training paths are highlighted, offering a comprehensive look at the different routes to becoming a commercial pilot. YouTube star Captain Joe contributes exclusively to the issue, sharing his insights on an aviation topic.
SunExpress CEO Max Kownatzki advocates for the abolition of the air traffic tax in Germany, a move he believes could boost the industry's recovery. The aviation sector is currently grappling with a shortage of skilled workers, particularly pilots, due to retiring baby boomers.
The issue also covers infrastructure developments, including Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport's expansion with a fifth terminal, and Rotterdam The Hague Airport's push for green aviation through projects like hydrogen flights and solar energy.
The new issue of AERO INTERNATIONAL offers a wealth of information for both aspiring and experienced pilots, as well as those interested in the future of the aviation industry.
