Return of supersonic flights

Resim
I remember the Concorde Era and the last campaign of British Airways to experience a supersonic flight with the legendary Concorde from London to New York. I worked for Swissair and was entitled to have a discounted ticket, but not enough budget as a young marketing executive. Since then, I have thought about the length of flight times and supersonic flights' reintroduction by using advanced technology. The introduction of new generation aircrafts such as B787 and A350 brought some improvements to the cabin and passenger comfort, significantly reducing fuel consumption and operational efficiency but time.

The question is, are we going to have a traditional airport website for our further passengers or what? Anyway, here is the chart for the main indicators. The full report can be viewed through slideshows of @wearesocialsg on LinkedIn.

Havacılığa başladığım 90’lı yıllardan beri gitmek istediğim lakin hem zaman hem de bütçe kısıtları nedeniyle gidilmesi hep ertelenen bir ülke olan Güney Afrika’ya bir iş gezisi vesilesiyle nihayet gidebildim. Güney Afrika’ya gidenlerden genelde duyduğunuz Johannesburg, Cape Town, Sun City, Krugger Park gibi kulağınıza aşina olan yerler olduğunu biliyorum. Benim seyahatim ise THY’nin yeni uçmaya başladığı Durban’da gerçekleşen bir konferans nedeniyle bu şehirden başladı. 4 günlük iş seyahatinin sonuna ekleyerek sadece Cape Town şehrini görebildim. Güney Afrika hakkında Afrika Kıtasının en ucundaki bu topraklara ilk gelenler 1652 yılında Hollandalılar. Bu nedenle pek çok şehir, bölge ve sokak ismi, buna ek olarak ülke genelinde konuşulan Afrikaans dilinin de özü Felemenkçe. Daha sonra Hollanda’nın gücünün azalması ve İngiltere’nin yükselişi ile 1700lü yılların sonundan itibaren İngiliz hakimiyeti söz konusu.
