Cover of Civil Airlines to Europe Autumn 2026

Civil Airlines to Europe Autumn 2026

Only £14.50

This book updates the previous Spring volume covering just the aircraft that can be seen at European airports, and as before has been compiled using data from the LAAS International Aviation and Aerodata. This book is a companion to our main publication, Civil Airlines of the World. It aims to provide an accurate listing of all the currently operational civil airliners that in theory, you might see across Europe. Aircraft which only overfly Europe have been excluded as flight routes and operations change so frequently. Each aircraft shows registration, type, and construction number. Also included is a status indicator which shows those aircraft on order (o) or those currently parked (p) by their operators. For each airline where official information is available, the full ICAO and IATA codes are shown along with their callsigns.
