About a month ago, an A320 aircraft operated by Air Arabia (Morocco) reportedly lost altitude shortly after taking off from Italy, triggering the aircraft’s GPWS, before the aircraft recovered and resumed flight towards Jordan. After conducting a preliminary assessment of the incident, Italy’s Civil Aviation Authority has classed it as a serious incident and earlier this week opened a safety investigation. Data reports that the aircraft had descended as low as a couple hundred feet over the sea before the crew recovered the aircraft and continued the flight.

Two United Airlines aircraft were involved in a mishap at Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) on Friday afternoon after an arriving Boeing 737 clipped a parked Boeing 767. The wing of the 737-700 — which had 113 passengers and five crew onboard — struck the horizontal stabilizer of the 767, which was stationary and had no passengers onboard. A full inspection of both aircraft found no major damage, although flight data suggests one of the jets remains on the ground in Chicago. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is now investigating the incident. Taxiing United 737 Clips Parked 767 Tail Credit: Shutterstock…
Equally famous for its incredible engineering and inflight champagne parties, the Concorde was beloved by every person connected to it. Engineers, craftsmen, pilots, and customers all found the amazing supersonic airliner to be unrivaled by any other commercial flying machine in the world. So then, why was the assembly line shuttered after just 20 examples were made? Just 14 commercial grade Concordes were made, while a half dozen of the type were never flown in revenue service. The jets were adored by celebrities who gladly paid tens of thousands of dollars to ride across the Atlantic from Europe to New…
IndiGo, which is India’s largest airline, is currently undergoing quite the transformation. The airline has historically operated single class aircraft primarily domestically, but is now evolving its business model. For one, we’ve seen the airline introduce IndiGo Stretch, a premium product on select flights (think of it like “business class light”). Furthermore, we’re seeing the airline expand into long haul markets, as the company even has 60 Airbus A350-900s on order (and is already flying some long haul routes with leased Boeing 787s). But when it comes to long haul expansion, there’s another development coming soon, which I’d like to…
Last month marked 44 years since the Boeing 767 made its first flight, and 43 years since the type entered service with United Airlines. The widebody twinjet has proven to be a popular design, initially with passenger airlines and subsequently with cargo specialists, with more than 1,300 units produced. Today, the Boeing 767 is not as common on the passenger scene as before, with both its age and inferior operating economics compared to next-generation small widebodies causing airlines to shy away from it in favor of new jets. Still, the jet has plenty of flying left in it, as evidenced…
The air travel market in the United States is dominated by the “big three:” American Airlines, United Airlines, and Delta Air Lines. These three carriers are the historic central pillars of the flying business in the USA. Competition is cut-throat among airlines, with razor-thin margins that determine success or failure. All three of these icons serve the American public, but to make their brand identity stand out and keep customers interested, they each have their own twist on the flying experience. Along with unique features, amenities, airfare, and service options, the three leading airlines in the US have distinct strategies…
