Expanding its team
Global Airlines is making strides toward launching commercial
operations, drawing attention to its progress. The airline is
expanding its team and has recently appointed John Roberts to its
Advisory Board. Having spent more than 40 years in the industry,
Roberts will offer operational and maintenance advice on the
superjumbo aircraft to the Global team.
In addition to his work as a chief engineer for the Airbus A380

manufacturing aircraft landing gear. Roberts is a graduate of

"The A380 is the most distinctive aircraft in the sky, and
I'm proud to have played a small part in its success since it
entered into commercial operation in 2005. It is still a modern,
latest technology aircraft, with two more decades of full-time
usage in front of it."
Meanwhile, Kevin Billings OBE, Chair of Global's Advisory Board,
added that "it is phenomenal that not only someone of John's
calibre is joining" the airline, "but someone who knows the A380 so
intimately."
