According to reports, the incident occurred after the flight’s (Malaysian) first officer…

In early 2024, United Airlines had a series of safety incidents that ultimately caused the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to increase oversight of the airline. Among these incidents was a March 2024 runway excursion at Houston Intercontinental Airport (IAH), where a Boeing 737 MAX ran off the runway. Anyway, here’s something that I find fascinating, nearly two years after the incident. A YouTube video has just been uploaded with an analysis of the cockpit voice recorder, and as an aviation geek, I find it to be incredibly interesting. What exactly are pilots talking about in the flight deck after something…

Quite frankly, I’m really confused how this is only happening now, as this seems like the obvious choice… United Airlines focuses on larger Dreamliner variant United Airlines currently has an all-Boeing wide body fleet, including 767s, 777s, and 787s. The 767s and 777s will be retired eventually — 767s will likely leave the fleet before the 777s, which will definitely be around for a decade plus. But when it comes to fleet renewal, the airline is entirely reliant on 787s. United flies all three variants of the 787 Dreamliner, and currently has 80 of them. As it stands, the Star…

Delta Air Lines recently placed an order for up to 60 Boeing 787-10s, which will be delivered as of 2031. This is a major development for the airline, given the carrier’s wide body fleet renewal has otherwise been centered around Airbus jets, making this a big win for Boeing. However, rumors now suggest that we could now see another aircraft order from Delta, and one certainly wonders what that could entail. Let me share what’s rumored, and my speculation… Is Delta in the market for more wide body planes? On social media, JonNYC has dropped a hint that he gets…
