The company said the SR Series, which includes the SR20, SR22, and SR22T, remained the best-selling high-performance single-engine piston aircraft for the 24th straight year, while the Vision Jet held its position as the best-selling jet in general aviation for the eighth consecutive year. Cirrus also highlighted a broader push around product development, training, and owner services. The company pointed to the 2025 launch of the…
On March 25, 2026, Wizz Air announced that it had signed a deal with Barcelona-based inflight technology provider Immfly to deploy a digital cabin ecosystem, which will include connectivity, onboard retail, and operational data services. The announcement was made the same day as the airline began to phase out its fleet of A321ceo aircraft. This is the latest in a number of momentous strategic decisions announced by the European low-cost carrier over the course of the last 12 months. These include the closure of its Abu Dhabi base, its refocus on Europe, and the downsizing of its outstanding A321XLR order.…
While this is niche, here’s a promotion that I took advantage of, and which caused me to empty out my Choice Privileges account. I’m not saying it’s the best deal on earth, but in my specific situation, I think it made sense. Choice Privileges to Air France-KLM Flying Blue transfer bonusChoice Privileges lets members convert hotel points into airline points, and typically these transfers are at a 5:1 ratio. However, between March 24 and April 24, 2026, you can receive a 100% bonus when you move Choice Privileges points to Air France-KLM Flying Blue. So that means you get 2,000…
The UK and Turkey have signed a new support and training agreement tied to Ankara’s Eurofighter Typhoon purchase, moving the program beyond the initial export announcement and into the implementation phase. The agreement, announced on March 25, 2026, was signed in London by UK Defence Secretary John Healey and Turkish Defence Minister Yaşar Güler. According to the British government, it will cover pilot and technician training in the UK as well as long-term maintenance support for Turkey’s future Typhoon fleet. BAE Systems said separately that it had secured a £2.5 billion ($3.3 billion) contract to provide support and training services…
China Eastern Airlines has placed a $15.802 billion Airbus order for 101 A320neo family aircraft, comprised of A320neo, A321neo and A321XLR single aisle jets. On March 25, 2026, China Eastern Airlines confirmed details to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, where the carrier indicated that the price was based on Airbus’ January 2024 catalogue price. In a translation of the stock exchange filing, China Eastern Airlines said that the new aircraft would be delivered in batches from 2028 to 2032. The Chinese-owned carrier said that nine planes will be delivered in 2028, followed by 19 in 2029 and 30 in 2030. In…
Recently released photos show B-2 stealth bombers preparing to launch for a mission over Iran last week, with multiple unidentified white patches added along the leading edges of their wings. The U.S. Central Command has released new photos of the B-2A Spirit stealth bomber, one of the assets that, albeit constantly flying as part of Operation Epic Fury, has been rarely shown to the public since the start of the hostilities with Iran. The bombers are currently flying round-trip missions from the U.S., contrary to the B-1B Lancer and B-52H Stratofortress bombers that have also been forward-deployed to RAF Fairford…
Brazil has unveiled the first Gripen E fighter assembled on its own soil, a milestone for the Saab-Embraer program and a visible step forward in the country’s push to build advanced combat aircraft locally. The aircraft was officially presented on March 25, 2026, during a ceremony at Embraer’s industrial complex in Gavião Peixoto, in São Paulo state. The event brought together Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Swedish Ambassador Karin Wallensten, Saab CEO Micael Johansson, Embraer CEO Francisco Gomes Neto, and Embraer Defense & Security CEO Bosco da Costa Junior.

Beond Airlines launched operations in 2023, and it brands itself as the world’s first premium leisure airline. The company is headquartered in Dubai, but primarily operates flights to and from the Maldives. I reviewed the airline in 2024, and the onboard product was super pleasant. A lot about the company seems questionable, and it’s hard to make sense of what’s going on at the airline. For example, in April 2025, the airline announced it would add 18 new destinations in 2025 and 2026, despite not having any more planes on order (at least as far as we know). Over six months later, the airline added a single new…

Lockheed Martin said it has signed a new framework agreement with the US Department of War to accelerate production of the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM), a move the company says will quadruple manufacturing capacity for the US Army’s next-generation long-range surface-to-surface missile. The announcement, made on March 25, 2026, builds on a March 2025 US Army contract worth up to $4.94 billion for additional PrSM production. The company did not disclose the future annual production rate in the release, but said the new agreement is intended to expand capacity and could eventually support a multiyear contract of up to seven years, subject to congressional authorization. Lockheed Martin said the…
