In addition to all models of Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, and ATR, which are the main stream airliners in the world, we also provide a comprehensive guidebook covering China’s COMAC, whose independently developed aircraft are now on track, Russian airliners, which have gone into hiding due to sanctions, and other models that are now flying around the world. This monthly airline publication not only provides comprehensive catalog coverage and data, but also offers a wide range of information on the world of passenger aircraft, including multifaceted considerations.

The special feature is “All Guide to the Latest Passenger Aircraft Flying the World’s Skies Today.

On March 28, Ikaros Shuppan released “Monthly Airline May 2025,” an A4-size, 152-page book priced at 1,760 yen.
