The company claims that it is taking appropriate steps to mitigate disruptions and offer options to passengers impacted by the strike. Early airline messaging had…

This, however, might not be the aircraft’s first flight, with this possibly being only the first time it has been captured on camera. The unmanned aircraft is one among several that emerged recently in China. The GJ-11, being the first to have been officially acknowledged…
