Airbus has introduced new cold-weather takeoff restrictions for A320neo-family aircraft equipped with Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan engines, following operational issues reported in freezing fog conditions. The new restriction applies to aircraft powered by PW1100G engines and limits takeoffs during freezing fog when the visibility drops below 150 meters. Airbus said it has updated the ground-engine operating procedure for icing conditions, a change intended to reduce the risk of performance degradation during the most severe winter weather.

The airline told passengers that departures on its Airbus Neo aircraft would…

If you’ve ever seen a movie with a ship or airplane in distress, you’ve probably heard the emergency call “Mayday.” The famous distress signal is well known to the public as well as the professionals who may or may not need to use it in their line of work. However, the lesser-known distress signal “Pan-Pan” is an internationally recognized declaration of urgency, which may sound strange to some. The difference between Mayday and Pan-Pan plays an important function in the system of safety protocols that make aviation the safest way to travel compared to any other form of transportation. This…

While details were limited at the time, we now know a lot more, and it’ll be more expensive than we initially thought. TSA will start charging to verify traveler identity In May 2025, we saw the TSA finally start to require passengers to have either a REAL ID or passport to travel by air, a mere 17 years behind schedule.
