US President Donald Trump has helped US planemaker Boeing to secure aircraft order agreements from three Central Asian airlines at the C5+1 Summit in Washington DC. The summit, held by the Trump administration on November 6, 2025, was attended by leaders from Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Following discussions, Boeing announced that Air Astana, Somon Air and Uzbekistan Airways had all formalized deals for commercial aircraft. Kazakhstan flag carrier Air Astana agree to purchase up to 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, marking its largest-ever order commitment.

Air Astana placed a landmark order with Boeing that will increase its widebody fleet by 500% once all 15 new 787-9 Dreamliners join the three 767s already in service. The purchase order accompanies leasing agreements for three more jets to supplement the airline until all of its new aircraft are delivered. The order will allow Air Astana, Kazakhstan’s national flag carrier, to not only modernize and bring a higher standard of service to customers but also expand its international network. The Dreamliner will revolutionize the airline and the aviation industry of Kazakhstan as well. Air Astana Is Leaping Forward Credit: Shutterstock…

By Bjorn Fehrm and Henry Tam November 7, 2025, ©. Leeham News: We do a series about ideas on how the long development times for large airliners can be shortened. New projects talk about cutting development time and reaching certification and production faster than previous projects. The series will discuss the typical development cycles for an FAA Part 25 aircraft, called a transport category aircraft, and what different ideas there are to reduce the development times. We will use the Gantt plan in Figure 1 as a base for our discussions. We have now entered the Detailed Design phase, where…

EASA is pleased to invite interested stakeholders to an information session on the material proposed in the recent published NPA2025-06, as a result of RMT0743 subtask 1 (‘Regular update of the AMC and GM associated with the conformity assessment framework for ATM/ANS equipment’). This session aims is to provide an overview of the proposed AMC/GM.  The proposed regulatory material is based on EASA’s experience gained during the initial implementation of the related regulatory framework when issuing design or production organisation approvals, during the development of procedures for the certification of ATM/ANS equipment, and feedback received from stakeholders since the adoption…

The Airbus A321XLR is the latest and greatest creation from Airbus. It’s a new long-range variant of the Airbus A321neo, the most successful jetliner variant of all time. It entered service with Iberia in November 2024, and it’s received over 500 orders since the program was launched in 2019, which isn’t a ground-breaking number but is excellent for a relatively cheap and simple derivative like this. The main selling point of the A321XLR is its range. At 4,700 NM (8,700 km), this is the longest range narrowbody on sale, and it’s meant to be the true replacement for the aging…

The upcoming 10% reduction in flight capacity at forty major U.S. airports will likely hamper cargo operations, although industry leaders need more information on the changes to determine the extent of the disruption.  As most U.S. domestic air cargo moves in the bellyhold of passenger aircraft and not in freighters, fewer passenger flights will tighten air cargo capacity, said Mike […]The post FAA flight cuts will limit bellyhold capacity for air cargo appeared first on Cargo Facts.source
