By powering both the Airbus A220 and the Embraer E-Jet E2 families, the Pratt & Whitney GTF dominates the 100-150 seat class of regional jets. The engine is much more efficient than the engines it replaces, including the Rolls-Royce BR700 found on the Boeing 717. Until now, the engine had proven reasonably reliable, although issues are now emerging. Still, the fuel-efficient engine has had a significant positive effect on regional air travel. Bombardier developed the Airbus A220 as the CSeries as a regional airliner. The aircraft directly competes with the Embraer E-Jet series, with which it shares a common engine…

On November 26, an American Airlines Boeing 737-800 operating a flight from Miami to El Salvador diverted to Belize after smoke was reported in the rear of the cabin.

The passenger, known as Erinn Hoyt, suffers from cystic fibrosis, diabetes and has undergone a double lung transplant.

Your Dog Defecated…

While today’s aviation sector is one of considerable modernity, we would be nowhere without the decades of history that have elapsed to get us to this point, and the various social and technological advances that they have brought.

In this article, we will take a closer look at the life and times of the oldest airlines around the world today that operate under their original names. While, in some instances, there are older carriers out there…

The Nordic flight market has experienced significant growth in recent years. According to Statista, revenues in the region are projected to grow by 5% year on year and hit US$8.93 billion in 2025 and over 10 million users by 2030.   Yet, behind those numbers lies one of aviation’s toughest operating environments, where extreme weather, high expenses, and brief peak seasons put every business model to the test. In response, Nordic airlines have adopted low-cost business strategies to maintain year-round operations.  While this model helps carriers survive in one of the most difficult markets in the world, some examples show why some carriers fail to meet the challenges of the Nordic airline market.  Here, AeroTime explores Nordic region airlines and their strategies for surviving in…

General Electric is currently developing the largest turbofan engine ever to be used in commercial aviation. The GE9X is being made to power the Boeing 777X next generation widebody airliner, as the enormous engine will be installed on the world’s single largest twinjet to ever fly. Therefore, its test bed needs to be equally huge. That’s where the Boeing 747 comes in. The colossal engine is being constructed using innovative manufacturing methods like 3D printing to make it not only the most powerful engine ever installed on a jetliner but also the most fuel-efficient. The GE9X will take commercial turbofan…

United Airlines Flight 934, a Boeing 767-300ER service bound for London Heathrow Airport (LHR), made a precautionary U-turn on November 27, 2025, after the crew encountered airspeed indication problems.
