American Airlines has begun the process of reconfiguring its Boeing 777 fleet with new interiors. Flightradar24 shows that American has sent N718AN, a Boeing 777-300ER, on a ferry flight to Hong Kong on December 7, 2025. The aircraft will receive new seats identical to its new Boeing 787-9 “789P” subfleet, as well as a new interior layout with a higher capacity. This aircraft will likely enter service by spring 2026, as reconfigurations for the first aircraft in a specific fleet typically take longer. American Airlines originally announced “Project Olympus” in 2022 and intended to commence retrofits in late 2024. However,…

Today, fast and comfortable air travel is something passengers often take for granted, yet the de Havilland Comet marked a dramatic leap forward when it entered service. As the world’s first jet airliner, it offered smoother flights, higher speeds, and a quieter cabin than any propeller-driven aircraft of its time. The Comet showed travelers what modern air transport could feel like and set new expectations for comfort and efficiency. The jet age, as we know it, began with this aircraft. The Comet proved that jet-powered commercial flight was not only possible but practical on major international routes. Its introduction pushed…

A US House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee hearing on advanced air mobility has reopened a long-running debate over how ADS-B data is used, with lawmakers and industry leaders urging Congress to place new guardrails around aircraft tracking. At the center of the discussion is the Pilot and Aircraft Privacy Act (PAPA), a bill strongly backed by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) that would restrict ADS-B use to safety functions and prohibit airports or other entities from relying on the data for fee collection or law-enforcement actions unrelated to aviation safety. The issue surfaced during testimony from Robert Rose, CEO of Reliable Robotics,…
Sustainable aviation fuel production is expected to double this year, but IATA says growth is already losing momentum and falling short of what airlines need to meet decarbonization targets.

Etihad Airways is on quite the expansion spree at the moment, as the airline is commencing all kinds of new routes.

In modern aerial warfare, inflight refueling has become a critical capability for many fighter jets, allowing aircraft to extend their range, stay on station longer, and respond to dynamic mission requirements without returning to base. Fighters with refueling capability can conduct long-range strikes, maintain air superiority over larger distances, and support expeditionary operations, giving military planners far greater flexibility in deploying air power. As technology and tactics evolve, the ability to refuel in the air is no longer just an advantage. Rather, it’s often a necessity for operational effectiveness and flexibility. Not all fighter jets are equally suited for aerial…
