sa preko 200 različitih avio-kom- panija iz celog sveta. Moji najupe- čatljiviji letovi? Verovatno prvi let sa celokupnom ženskom posa- dom u Avganistanu, koji sam or- ganizovao 2021. To je bilo veoma značajno. Takođe sam bio deo do- stavnog leta „erbas A330“ kom- panije „Er Grenland“ iz Tuluza, sve do arktičke hladnoce Grenlan- da. To su letovi koje necu zabora- viti. I ne, nikada se necu umoriti. Ponekad se umorim od određenih avio-kompanija, ali ne i od letenja! Kakvo je bilo vaše iskustvo sa „A330“ u Er Srbiji? – Lično sam veliki fan Er Srbije, posebno „erbasa A330“. Osecam ga kao malo nacionalno blago i to sam i ja doživeo na letu. Avio-kom- panija ima neke od najposvece- nijih članova kabinske posade ko- ji su veoma ponosni na svoj rad. Naravno, uvek postoji prostor za poboljšanje, ali to je izazov našeg vremena. Danas je klijente teško zadovoljiti, ali mislim da je Er Srbija na pravom putu. Koje su najbolje stvari kod letenja? – Ono što najviše volim kod le- tenja jeste kulturni aspekat. Sva- ka nacija ima jedinstvenu nacio- nalnu avio-kompaniju koja svetu predstavlja svoju kulturu, hranu i običaje, i sve se to dešava u njiho- vom sopstvenom avionu dok kr- stare nebom. Iako su svi vezani za iste propise i pravila, uvek posto- ji prostor za neki nacionalni iden- titet. To je ono što najviše volim u istraživanju novih kompanija iz ce- log sveta. Hocete li biti na našem letu za Čikago? – Stvarno se nadam da će mi „Ujka Sem“ uskoro poželeti dobro- došlicu u Ameriku. Čuo sam mno- go toga sjajnog o Čikagu i nadam se da cu uskoro moci i sam da istražim grad. Kako bi bilo da ponovo do- đete u Srbiju? – O, da, apsolutno, posecujem Srbiju od 2009. godine i volim je. Volim hranu, nocni život, a poseb- no ljude u Srbiji... Tako da cu se si- gurno vratiti, to mogu da obecam.
Josh Cahill, aviation vlogger and airline critic
The Serbian airline has some of the most dedicated cabin crew members, who can justifiably be very proud of their work. Of course, there is always room for improvement, but I think Air Serbia is on the right track I’m a big fan of Air Serbia
Josh Cahill is a German-C- zech aviation vlogger and air- line critic who presents reviews of airlines on his YouTube channel and is among the most watc- hed flight reviewers, with an au- dience in the millions. He has al- so flown with Air Serbia, firstly to New York on an A330 aircraft, whi- le he is now preparing to fly to Chi- cago. Speaking in this interview for Elevate, he says that he’s had gre- at experiences with Air Serbia and that he has an almost innate love of aviation... How did you fall in love with aviation? “I think I was already born with a huge passion for aeroplanes and aviation. I’d always look up whe- never hearing a plane engine ro- ar, and that hasn’t changed to this day. There is just something magi- cal about flying, from bringing pe- ople and cultures together, to the whole aesthetic of a plane. Being
able to share my passion with milli- ons of viewers from all around the world and have them hooked to my very own aviation adventures is so- mething really wonderful and I’m glad I was able to turn what I love into a full-time job”. Do you remember your first flight? “Unfortunately, I don’t have any memories of my very first fli- ght as I was only two years old, but I do remember flying on a Lock- heed L-1011TriStar from Germany to Spain when I was just five years old. It was one great adventure and it only grew my passion for aviati- on. Fast forward 30 years, and ne- ither the airline, LTU, nor the plane, the mighty TriStar, exist any longer. I do envy the generation that grew up in the golden years of aviation, being able to experience all the- se different planes. I am pretty mu- ch stuck with Boeing or Airbus [lau- ghs].”
