For long-haul cabin crew and pilots, the crew rest area is an essential, ensuring that crew fatigue doesn’t set in and affect safety. Crew rest is a specified period during flights, when pilots and cabin crew change over, allowing some of the crew to get some sleep before returning to duty. Crew rest areas feature on most long-haul aircraft, but what will happen when there is no crew rest area, but crew are still performing on long-haul flights? Now, with the introduction of single-aisle aircraft with longer range and with flights of up to eleven hours, the strategy for crew…

Qatar Airways will only serve San Francisco five times a week next summer. That offering will apply for the full season. Its frequency has fallen from the previously planned daily operation. It comes soon after Air India removed two ultra-long-haul routes to the Northern California city. The oneworld member’s frequency reduction is an intriguing development. It means it has become its only US route with less than a daily frequency and is, therefore, its new least-served city.

For years, Pakistan’s government has been trying to privatize its struggling national airline, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA). The latest such bid was launched in April 2025, which came shortly after the company reported its first “profit” in decades, and also managed to shed most of its legacy debt issues. Still, it seemed like a long shot than any private company would actually want to invest in PIA. So there’s now an update, as a Pakistani consortium has acquired a majority stake in the company, as reported by Arab News. Let’s start with a little background, and then we’ll talk about…

Many European nations are small enough that there is only one dominant full-service carrier, but the United Kingdom is unique within Europe in that its largest city (London) is home to two full-service airlines. British Airways is the larger, more established of the two, with a large short-haul network and a comprehensive long-haul network. Virgin Atlantic is the more recent entrant, focusing exclusively on intercontinental flights with widebodies while offering a more trendy and lively onboard experience. Unlike British Airways, which offers first class on a significant portion of its long-distance flights, Virgin Atlantic’s most premium cabin is “Upper Class”.…
