NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Taking immediate action is the key to decarbonizing the commercial aviation industry by 2050, the timeline for IATA’s net-zero goal.  Whether it is producing and purchasing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), advocating for governmental regulations and incentives, or modernizing fleets and equipment, the industry must begin implementing sustainable solutions now, panelists at Cargo […] source

British low-cost carrier easyJet is tackling the cost-of-living crisis in the United Kingdom head-on by donating some of its old crew uniforms to provide free school clothing to children in need. The airline is based in Luton, where child poverty is a particularly severe issue, and it hopes that, by providing its old uniforms for use in schools, it will be able to help local families deal with the financial strain. School uniform items typically cost hundreds of pounds a year per child, and, as such, they can represent a considerable economic outlay for families, especially with a child’s growth…

Non-stop flights have restarted between India and China after a five-year suspension, reflecting a recent thaw in relations between the two most populous nations. IndiGo, the largest carrier in India, became the first carrier to resume India-China flights after months of planning, reconnecting Kolkata’s thriving textile and jute industries with the wholesale markets of Guangzhou in southern China. Flight 1703 departed from Kolkata on Sunday evening, operated by an Airbus A320neo, and touched down at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport some three-and-a-half hours later. It is the first of what is expected to be a rush of new travel options between…

The Boeing 757 once dominated transatlantic skies, bridging the gap between short-haul narrow-bodies and long-haul wide-bodies. Its combination of range, power, and moderate capacity made it ideal for thinner routes that couldn’t justify larger jets. For decades, it connected secondary US cities to Europe and vice versa, becoming a symbol of flexibility and efficiency in mid-range flying. Now, as the global aviation industry transitions toward sustainability and lower operating costs, the 757’s era is fading. Airlines are retiring their aging fleets in favor of newer aircraft that offer similar reach with less fuel burn and emissions. The Airbus A321LR and…

The GE9X, when it enters service with the Boeing 777X, will be the largest jet engine in history. It will be the latest in a line of big twin-aisle engines that have steadily made long-haul flying quieter, cleaner, and more economical. One can also think of it as a careful blend of strength and utility, with a huge front fan improving fuel efficiency while advanced lightweight materials used in the engine’s construction help reduce its overall weight. This design helps the engine make less noise without sacrificing thrust. What sets the GE9X apart is not just its size but also…

The latest schedule update shows that Alaska Airlines has axed 16 routes. In the past few days, an article suggested 12 were removed, but additional markets have since been found. The eliminations include San Francisco to Boston, which is Alaska’s third-longest mainland US route. More than two-thirds of the 16 airport pairs are currently operating from Los Angeles and San Francisco. Some were inherited from Virgin America. As Alaska is increasingly moving away from those cities, where it finds it harder to compete, it is focusing instead on San Diego and Portland as key growth markets. Like all businesses, airlines…
