Over the summer, we saw American Airlines introduce its long awaited new Boeing 787-9Ps, featuring all-new cabins. This is an exciting development for the airline, as it represents a significantly upgraded passenger experience over what you’ll otherwise find on the carrier’s long haul flights. Of course one common question is which routes actually feature these new planes. So in this post, I’d like to go over that — which planes have the new cabins, and which routes do they fly? Basics of American’s new 244-seat Boeing 787-9Ps Prior to 2025, American already had 59 Boeing 787 Dreamliners in its fleet,…

Spirit Airlines plans to slash its network schedule by 25% in November compared to a year ago as part of its ongoing restructuring plan. The ultra-low-cost carrier is being forced into drastic cuts after it recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the second time in less than a year. The scheduling cuts will likely be accompanied by further furloughs and layoffs as the airline looks to reduce costs. Just two weeks ago, Spirit removed all flights in 11 US cities from October 2, so this latest development represents even deeper cuts happening at a rapid rate. While the carrier…

The Spanish government has unveiled an investment plan that will allocate €12.9 billion to the expansion of the country’s airport capacity during the period 2027-2031. The bulk of this investment, nearly €10 billion, will go to projects directly linked to regulated aeronautical operations, with the remainder going to commercial activities.  Another €1.5 billion included within this investment package has been earmarked for technology and sustainability-enhancing investments.  The announcement was made by the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, during a visit to Alicante Airport (ALC) on September 18, 2025.   The details of this project will be included in an official plan…

BERLIN – Switzerland’s order of F-35 fighter jets from Lockheed Martin will be significantly more expensive than originally expected, prompting introspection in Bern about possibly altering the procurement.The original Swiss plan was for 36 jets of the F-35A variant at a fixed price of 6 billion Swiss francs ($7.55 billion). The procurement was decided in 2021 and the contract signed following parliamentary approval in September 2022, with the scope including the aircraft, logistics, training, ammunition and required infrastructure. The delivery was set for 2027 through 2030.However, negotiations between Bern and Washington, including those between the two countries’ defense ministers, were…

When researching aircraft systems, you may come across pitot-static systems. Pilots today rely on a variety of instruments to provide essential flight data. The pitot-static system is a collection of instruments that’s responsible for measuring airspeed, vertical speed, altitude and more. Overview of Pitot-Static Systems Nearly all modern airplanes have a pitot-static system. Pitot-static systems feature two types of pressure-reading sensors: a pitot tube and a static port. Using these sensors, they are able to measure flight-related metrics. Nearly all modern airplanes have a pitot-static system. Pitot Tube vs Static Port The pitot tube is designed to measure dynamic or…

What do semiconductor fabs, API-driven bookings, and a 4x spike in air cargo volumes have in common? If you said “transshipment hubs,” you’re closer than most. But the real answer? Digital orchestration. For decades, air cargo revolved around megahubs like Hong Kong, Singapore, Frankfurt, and Incheon – not because they produced the cargo, but because they knew how to move it. Fast. Efficiently. Seamlessly. Today, as the logistics industry digitizes from the inside out, transshipment hubs are emerging as a microcosm of what digitization really requires: not just apps, not just visibility, but true end-to-end ecosystem enablement. The future of…

A volatile market requires maximized efficiency, so freighter route and passenger route development teams at combination carriers must work closely together.   Panelists on the webinar “Air cargo route networks: Strategies for improved results and greater efficiencies,” presented Sept. 16 by Cargo Facts, spoke of this need for collaboration to ensure capacity is not being […] source

Traveled work, rework are still obstacles 777X certification running late; customers now see first deliveries in 4Q2026 By Karl Sinclair Sept. 17, 2025, © Leeham News: “We were almost at parity on deliveries with Airbuses last month…. We’re getting there.” Kelly Ortberg, the CEO of The Boeing Co. Credit: Boeing. That was the opening salvo from The Boeing Company (BA) and CEO Kelly Ortberg, as it begins to claw its way back from the depths after a difficult six-year stretch. Speaking at the Morgan Stanley Laguna Conference, Ortberg closed his interview by remarking on how close Boeing was getting to…

Marine One diverted to Luton Airport while ferrying President Trump to begin his trip home from a state visit to the UK. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the helicopter had a minor hydraulic issue. The VH-3D Sea King, one of three deployed to RAF Northolt for President Trump’s second state visit, was carrying President Donald Trump from Chequers – the UK Prime Minister’s official country residence – to London Stansted Airport, where VC-25A 92-9000 waited on the tarmac to take on the Air Force One callsign. News footage showed the President boarding aircraft 159357 at Chequers, with a second VH-3D…
