With November now up and running, we are firmly in the IATA Winter Season, which kicked off at the end of last month. The change from summer to winter often sees airlines make schedule adjustments to reflect alterations in seasonal demand, with a key market on this front being long-haul travel to the United States. The Airbus A380, in particular, is an interesting angle. With this in mind, it is high time to take a closer look at the seven airlines that are flying the superjumbo to and from the US this November, and their top routes on this front.…
Two Air India pilots have been taken off of flying duty after they operated Airbus A320 flights without meeting mandatory license and compliance requirements. In one case, a senior captain flew with a lapsed English Language Proficiency (ELP) endorsement (a requirement for flying pretty much anywhere). In the other situation, a first offer flew without completing the required corrective training after an unsatisfactory recurrent instrument rating and overall proficiency check. Air India says that both pilots and a crew scheduler were removed from the roster immediately as a result of this incident and that disciplinary action would be initiated, with…
U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday said he’s ordered the Pentagon to begin planning for potential military action in Nigeria as he stepped up his allegations that the government is failing to rein in the persecution of Christians in the West African country.The president also warned that he “will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria.”“If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these…

By 2025, Lufthansa had invested some 2.5 billion Euros ($2.9 billion) in the program and is a part of a major effort to modernize the passenger experience for passengers and keep the airline one of Europe’s premier airlines. In 2024, Lufthansa got into the news for being unable to sell one row of seats on its new A350-900s. By 2025, it was being reported that Lufthansa was refusing delivery of its new Boeing 787-9s due to certification delays with Allegris’ business class seats. As pressure to accept the aircraft…
Hello from India, as I just flew Air India’s Airbus A350-900 business class on the 9hr10min flight from London (LHR) to Delhi (DEL), as the first part of my review trip. Air India has obviously been through quite the journey in the past several years, as it has been privatized, and is trying to reinvent itself. Admittedly this process is all quite slow, given the delays with new aircraft and seats.That being said, I couldn’t wait to experience the best of Air India, on the carrier’s A350. So, how was the experience? Really, really good. I was delighted, from the…
The term “stealth supremacy” describes the Boeing F-47’s next-generation, all-aspect, broadband stealth capabilities, which will be far more sophisticated than those of existing fighters like the F-35. The goal is for the US Air Force’s F-47 to achieve superior stealth performance, or “stealth++,” enabling it to penetrate deep into enemy territory without being detected. It will have all new, advanced radar-absorbent materials (RAM) in the form of composites, and special coatings to reduce its radar cross-section (RCS) and defeat even the most advanced adversary radar systems. In addition to ultra-low RCS, the aircraft will have a significantly reduced infrared signature,…

The SUV comes on a Ford Explorer platform, fitted with 360-degree cameras, thermal sensors, license plate readers, and a rooftop drone dock. U.S. National Parks have prohibited the use of drones for any reason – absent a special permit…
