During the hub-and-spoke era of aviation, there were two types of airport. We had megahubs like London Heathrow Airport (LHR) which would receive jumbo jets flying in hundreds of passengers from around the world. Regional aircraft would then transport these passengers to their final destination.Continue Reading
In this video, we take a look at how the Boeing 777-300ER became the flagship of many of the world’s leading airlines, why its GE90 engines changed long-haul aviation forever, and how it paved the way for the next generation of widebody aircraft.Continue Reading
