The story of a Virginia family suing KLM Royal Dutch Airlines over a bed bug infestation on their flight to Europe from the United States has brought to light at least one more story from only 2 months ago, when another passenger experienced a very similar bed bug infestation. In both cases, the flight attendants insisted that the travelers remain in their seats despite the clearly visible bugs on the seats and the passengers’ belongings. The airline has not taken any action to rectify the situation in the aftermath. The inaction and woeful response by KLM have led the Albuquerque…

For half a century, the Boeing 747 was a titan of long-haul travel, with the iconic shape of its distinctive humped fuselage dominating the world’s airports and skies. Recent years have seen its popularity dwindle, with its decline brought about by the industry’s shift towards efficient long-haul twinjets to serve point-to-point rather than hub-and-spoke routes, and accelerated by the onset of coronavirus. Even with the onset of the health crisis, production of the ‘jumbo jet’ was beginning to wind down, with relatively low orders for the latest 747-8 model meaning that the final example was delivered just over two years…

Today, we are going to talk about an aviation story that blends poetry and physics: Concorde’s 1973 solar-eclipse chase. Climbing to 55,000 feet, pushing through the stratosphere at Mach 2, a specially modified Concorde intercepted the Moon’s shadow. It gave scientists aboard 74 continuous minutes of totality — an observational window impossible from the ground. This mission was a vivid demonstration of Concorde’s unique capabilities and remains one of the most emblematic unions of civil aviation and scientific exploration. In our article, we’ll put that famous flight under the microscope. We’ll also recount the aircraft’s short but glorious history, dig…

The Boeing 757 has long been regarded as one of the most versatile narrowbody aircraft ever built, capable of serving short domestic routes as well as transatlantic flights from airports with challenging conditions. Despite its popularity with airlines and passengers alike, Boeing chose not to develop a next-generation version, leaving a gap in the so-called ‘middle-of-the-market’ segment. Understanding why this decision was made requires examining a combination of technical, financial, and strategic factors that influenced the company over the past two decades. From production line logistics and engine limitations to shifting airline demand and strategic priorities, multiple challenges made a…
