It’s a large narrowbody that offered excellent economics for the time, and it’s one of the most capable single-aisle airliners ever built. With its large size, payload-range capabilities, as well as the age of the global 757 fleet, the question is more apparent now than ever about what will replace it.

Lithuanian Airports (LTOU) estimated that suspected cigarette-smuggling balloons entering Lithuanian airspace from Belarus in recent months have disrupted about 320 flights, leading to losses exceeding €750,000.

The impact also extended to passengers, with more than 45,000 people affected during October and November in 2025. “According to our calculations, the number of affected passengers is about 5% of the total number of passengers served at Vilnius Airport over the past two months,” Vasiliauskas said.

In fact, on Nov. 29, 1995, the prototype F/A-18E Super Hornet lifted off from then McDonnell Douglas’ (now Boeing’s) St. Louis facility for the first time, marking the beginning of a program that would reshape U.S. carrier aviation for the next three decades. The Super Hornet was born in a period of budget cuts and restructuring, which led the…

Airbus “problems” actually started in early November, with investors more and more aware of the difficulties Airbus are facing to reach their delivery target for 2025 – the two incidents, which happened at nearly the same time, further increasing the investors’ doubts, specially as the November delivery figures were not that impressive ( 72-74, tbc ), meaning they would have to deliver an all-time record of 160+ aircraft in December to reach “about 820” deliveriessource
