In this new blog entry we want to analyze the main spanish airports according to the growth trend they have had in recent years in the areas of passenger traffic flow, operations and freight.
Dear Students from EAS BARCELONA,
We are doing everything possible so that our students can follow up their training properly and without completely disconnecting from their daily classes.
On August 25, 100 years of the first international commercial flight were completed. On the same day of 1919, an international commercial flight took off and landed without any incident.
From 2008 to 2015, almost 98,000 bird crashes with airplanes or “bird strike” were reported, according to data from the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). It is evidence that this is a relatively common occurrence of modern air travel.
Nowadays, just over 5% of commercial flight pilots are women, according to the International Airline Pilots Association.
The country with the most female pilots is India, and Asian airlines are the ones that employ the highest proportion of female pilots. This is undoubtedly one of the professions with the greatest gender inequality.
Qatar Airways and Qantas have long struggled to be the airline with the longest flight in the world. However, Singapore Airlines has recently joined the market for very long-distance flights.
The Asian company had recently offered the longest non-stop flight in the world, connecting the cities of Singapore and Newark (New Jersey) on a trip of just over 17 hours, and previously this record was held by Qatar Airways, with its 17.5 hour flight linking Auckland (New Zealand) and Doha (Qatar). Another airline that bets on this type of flights is the Australian company Qantas. Until now, its longest route without stops was the Perth (Australia) -Londres route, which runs in 17 hours.
Actually there is no standard regarding airplane pilot salary, since there are many variables and conditions that end up affecting the salary of a pilot, such as location, operation, the aviation market, function, age, experience, among others.
