Hello from London Heathrow! I recently shared my initial thoughts on my Icelandair Boeing 737 MAX 8 Saga Premium flight from New York (JFK) to Keflavik (KEF). After then spending several days in Iceland, I continued in Icelandair’s Airbus A321LR Saga Premium on the 2hr50min flight from Keflavik to London (LHR). The A321LR is only a recent addition to Icelandair’s fleet, breaking the carrier’s practice of operating an all-Boeing jet fleet (The A321 family is just more capable in terms of range, and Icelandair needs that incremental range for some flights). So I was looking forward to trying the carrier’s…

Turbulence is one of the most common safety events in commercial aviation, with studies showing there are tens of thousands of moderate and severe turbulence events every year. In most cases of turbulence, passenger injury does not occur, particularly if the flight crew have warned the cabin of impending turbulence. However, turbulence can sometimes strike without warning or at inopportune times, leading to serious injury for many on board. As a leading cause of serious injury in commercial aviation, the impact of turbulence on safety remains a high priority. There are numerous turbulence mitigation strategies and technologies at play in…

With Israel’s main airport terminal having been forecasted to reach operational capacity by the end of the decade, a major expansion project has been approved. The upgrade will not only see the available operational area of the airport’s Terminal 3 expand, but also upgrades in technology, which will allow for smoother traffic flow across various areas of the terminal. The project is valued at a cost of over $80 million, which will see an additional 7,000 square meters (75,347 square feet) of area added across various areas around Terminal 3 of the airport.

In September 2025, OAG proclaimed London-Heathrow (LHR) as the most connected airport in the world for the third consecutive year. Even though the airport is operating close to its maximum capacity, the number of international destinations served by Heathrow has grown by 24%. A large part of Heathrow’s global reach is thanks to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Most routes from Heathrow are on trunk routes to capitals and other major cities, although there are a few leisure routes to the greater Caribbean. Boeing 787s connect the airport with five continents, including Australia, but excluding neighboring Europe. While many of the…

One of the world’s most iconic airlines, Dubai-based Emirates, is hitting back at Boeing’s latest announcement that the beleaguered 777X programme may not have certification until the end of 2026, meaning deliveries will be delayed again until 2027.

Despite the fanfare, the A380 has often struggled to find its place in an ever-changing commercial aviation market, with several airlines choosing to retire their superjumbos during the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, since then, many carriers have opted to update their Airbus A380s with refreshed interiors, even launching brand new cabins, giving the aircraft a new lease of life that should see them remain in service well into the…

Aviation industry analysts are currently struggling to identify a key facet of American Airlines’ business model. The legacy carrier operates flights to destinations worldwide, utilizing major gateway hubs such as Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and Miami International Airport (MIA). In the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, the largest amount of revenue growth within the commercial aviation industry has been attributed to premium cabins, where business travelers have continued to pay higher premiums for the comfort that these cabins provide. Furthermore, there has also been a rise in high-spending leisure travelers who are also willing to pay for an upgrade.…

The UK’s Metropolitan Police Service is deploying UAS to London in a new trial hoping to provide police officers with a new intelligence gathering capability.

It has been widely known that the Swedish Air Force is in the hunt for a C-130H replacement, and it has now moved to the procurement stage. Embraerformalized a sale of four C-390 Millennium airlifters to Sweden four weeks ago, with options for up to seven more units under a Dutch-led joint procurement with Austria.
