Air Charter Service’s Post

Start-up freight carrier One Air, which is set to become the UK’s sole operator of the Boeing 747, has been using Aerospace Wales member Cardiff Airport as a base to train their flight crew whilst awaiting operator approvals from the Civil Aviation Authority. Fixed Base Operator Global Trek Aviation, UK has been providing ground handling support for One Air’s Boeing 747-400 G-UNET at Cardiff for the last six months. The CAA has now granted an air operator’s certificate to the carrier which is set to become the only airline in the country with a Boeing 747 fleet. One Air is dry-leasing an initial 747-400 converted freighter and aims to take a second by the end of this year. The company is also intending to evaluate other aircraft types. One Air has disclosed that it could look to modernise with Boeing 777 freighters as its business develops. It expects to focus on flights between the UK and European, Middle Eastern and Asian destinations but subsequently expand to Chinese and US services. The operator is formally seeking to operate US routes, and has submitted a filing with the U.S. Department of Transportation. One Air’s first aircraft is a Pratt & Whitney PW4000-powered jet (G-UNET) originally delivered to Air Canada in 1991, and used by companies including Air China Cargo, Honeywell International, Turkey’s ACT Air and Moldova’s Aerotranscargo.

Hey, don't you get a thrill when you enter the cockpit? 🛫 The roar of the engine... and when you stop feeling the ground and you know you're flying? It's great to float through the clouds! 🌤 But let's not overlook an important reality: taking off is an exciting choice, but landing is an undeniable necessity. It's a gentle but meaningful reminder of our sacred duty as aviators to prioritise safety above all else! This image of a light aircraft about to take off reminds us of the beauty and freedom that aviation offers. But as we pursue our dreams, let us also ensure that we approach the skies with respect, preparation and commitment to airworthiness. Together we can create a safety culture that will allow us to enjoy the pleasure of flying for many years to come. Share in the comments! What does aviation safety mean to you? #EmbraceTheSkies #SafetyFirst #PassionForFlight #AviationEnthusiasts #aviationenthusiast #flysafety #FlySafeWithUs #flysafe #lightaircraft #Flysafe

The winter season is approaching, and in preparation, Paolo Dal Pozzo an AW139 pilot, authored an article titled "17 TIPS TO BE READY FOR WINTER: INSIGHTS BENEFICIAL FOR HELICOPTER PILOTS AND FIXED-WING PILOTS." As the weather undergoes seasonal changes and daylight hours decrease, several crucial considerations apply to both helicopter and fixed-wing pilots. To address these aspects of winter operations, Paolo compiled these tables for a comprehensive overview. Don't be caught unprepared for the shifting seasons.
