In what has been an action packed June, we bring you the highlights of what has been an eventful month in aviation. From record traffic expectations to a new supersonic airplane and most importantly, movement in the job market.
Emirates has announced that it expects its highest levels of passenger traffic to go through Dubai International Airport the weekends of the 2nd to 4th of July and 9th to 11th of July. This coincides with the break up of schools both in the United Arab Emirates and in many countries in Europe. With families looking to reunite for the summer, the first weekends of July typically kick off the summer travelling season and a passenger profile shift from business trips to family and leisure based travel. Emirates has also announced its ambition to restore up to 90 percent of its pre-pandemic flight network by the end of July.
This is quite impressive considering the fact that three of its largest markets remain closed due to COVID-19 restrictions. The Indian, UK and Australasian markets have long been key markets for the Dubai based carrier. With flights from India suspended until July 15th at the earliest and no sign of a reprieve from the UK and Australian markets. The airline will be hoping that the next two weekends will bring a much needed boost for the aviation sector.
Qatar Airways is HIRING! The Doha based airline, which had to let thousands of employees go at the beginning of the pandemic has announced a drive to re-hire staff that were previously let go.

With restrictions easing across the European Union with the introduction of its COVID-19 Certificate on 1st of July. It is now becoming easier for travellers to move around at their own will.

American carrier United Airlines has signed an agreement to procure 15 Supersonic Jets from Boom Supersonic. A Denver based supersonic aerospace company. The recently announced Boom Overture airliner plans to be carbon neutral jet. The airline expects the supersonic jet to enter service between 2025 and 2026.
The aviation industry waved bye to Supersonic travel when the French-British built Concorde was retired by Air France and British Airways back in 2003. With the carriers citing the tough economic environment as the reason for the aircraft being withdrawn from service.
