Loganair has moved quickly to step in following the collapse of Jersey-based Blue Islands airline, announcing it will begin rescue flights from 16 November 2025 — and signaling plans to establish a long-term base in Jersey. The Scottish regional carrier said it will operate routes previously served by Blue Islands, offering “rescue fares” on key services, according to the BBC News. The collapse of Blue Islands has raised serious concerns over the crucial air connectivity for the Channel Islands. With Aurigny also stepping in to provide interim services, Loganair’s intervention is widely seen as vital to maintaining links both between…

Premium cabins have become a major focus for airlines in recent years. Carriers are investing heavily in upgraded business class products to attract travelers who value comfort and are willing to pay for it. Evidently, this segment delivers some of the strongest margins in the industry and has encouraged a few operators to explore all-business-class models on routes with consistently high-yield demand. Examples include France-based La Compagnie, which offers all-business-class flights to New York, and Maldives-based leisure carrier beOnd, which connects several European destinations to Male via Dubai. Now, beOnd is preparing to enter the US market. The airline has…

When travelers consider their favorite airlines, they tend to focus on customer service, legroom, seat-back entertainment, hidden fees, airport lounges, or baggage policies. While most passengers are also aware that aircraft cabins can harbor germs, cleanliness is rarely discussed with the same level of scrutiny. Even frequent flyers and industry professionals rarely debate which airlines maintain the cleanest cabins. A visibly dirty aircraft is easily noticeable. Smudged windows, sticky tray tables, or crumbs left behind quickly diminish the onboard experience. By contrast, spotless cabins can often look similar to those that are reasonably clean and go underappreciated. However, even a…

During the past year, the skies over Europe have turned into an arena of quiet conflict.   Unexplained drone intrusions and short airspace breaches by foreign military aircraft in several NATO countries have disturbed civilian activities and alarmed both officials and the public.  Although none of these events have resulted in direct conflict, their timing and coordination suggest they are more than a coincidence. Dr. Sean M. Maloney, a history professor at the Royal Military College of Canada, describes what we are seeing as grey zone warfare, the so-called space in between peace and war.  As a Cold War and modern…

As the final months of 2025 march on, Pratt & Whitney announced that it has delivered enough engines for Airbus to reach its goal of 820 deliveries by the end of the year. Airbus had delivered 585 planes at the end of October, leaving an ambitious 235 to go. It has often been cited that one of the primary bottlenecks to Airbus deliveries was engine supply from both P&W and CFM International this year. The news that P&W fulfilled its 2025 backlog is a crucial supply chain victory that gives the green light for Airbus to push ahead. P&W Picking…

Australian flag carrier Qantas is currently undergoing an exciting fleet renewal process. This year has seen the oneworld founding member begin to take deliveries of next-generation Airbus A321XLR narrowbody twinjets, and it is also edging ever closer to the arrival of its ‘Project Sunrise’ Airbus A350-1000s. With this in mind, there could hardly be a better time to take a more detailed look at the current state of the mainline fleet at Qantas. The carrier’s present portfolio of commercial aircraft is a diverse affair, with widebodies and narrowbodies present from both sides of the Airbus-Boeing duopoly. According to ch-aviation, the…

Lisbon Airport (LIS), the principal facility serving the Portuguese capital, has slowly become one of the most important gateways between North America and Europe. Geography does a lot of heavy lifting, with the facility sitting on the western edge of the European continent. This allows Portugal to offer some of the shortest US-Europe flying times. These shave hours off itineraries that would otherwise require routing through more inconveniently located hubs like London, Paris, or Frankfurt. Once we add in the Portuguese tourism boom, relatively affordable prices, and year-round mild weather, the airport has quickly become a key player in the…

In the fast-evolving world of air cargo operations, choosing the right aircraft is a decision that defines efficiency, reach, and profitability. Among the heavyweights of the freighter market, this Boeing pair gets a lot of attention: Boeing 767 and 777 freighters. At first glance, they appear as close relatives: both are twin-engine widebodies derived from Boeing’s passenger jetliners, and both have earned reputations for reliability, efficiency, and adaptability. Despite that, beneath those familiar lines lie two very different philosophies of flight. The 767F has become the dependable backbone of e-commerce and express delivery, balancing payload with operational flexibility. The 777F,…

The biggest aviation event of the year (sorry Paris) is finally here as the opening day of the Dubai Airshow 2025 swings into action today.  The exhibition stands are up, the planes are in, the business attire is on, and attendees are ready to network with friends and colleagues, sample a few flight shows and check out the incredible aircraft.   The five-day event starts on November 17, 2025, at Dubai World Central (DWC) with tens of thousands of people expected to attend and hundreds of deals ready to be signed off.   And of course, AeroTime will be on the ground…
