US airlines have expressed relief after President Donald Trump signed a bill reopening the government following a 43-day shutdown that wreaked havoc on the aviation sector.   During the signing in the White House Oval Office on December 12, 2025, President Trump again blamed Democrat politicians for the stalemate that left air traffic controllers without pay for over six weeks.   “For the past 43 days, Democrats in Congress shut down the government of the United States in an attempt to extort American taxpayers for hundreds of billions of dollars for illegal aliens… Today, we’re sending a clear message that we will…

The Skunk Works division of Lockheed delivered the world’s first stealth warplane in 1981, but its existence wouldn’t be made public knowledge until several years after it began service. The F-117 Nighthawk dramatically changed modern warfare. It served for decades before the 21st arms race for fifth and sixth-generation fighters we see today. The Nighthawk proved itself on the battlefield, and even though a single aircraft was lost in combat, it showed the game-changing possibilities of stealth warplanes. The introduction of stealth technology was a watershed moment and how modern militaries view air power. The legacy of the F-117 is…

Airbus Defence and Space’s works council in Germany has again questioned Dassault Aviation’s role in the Future Combat Air System (FCAS), urging political leaders to provide clarity on the program’s direction and on industrial arrangements for Airbus employees.  In a LinkedIn post following a staff meeting at the company’s Manching site, Chairman of the Works Council of Airbus Defence and Space Thomas Pretzl restated a position he has voiced repeatedly over recent months.

Hello from back home, as I just flew Aer Lingus’ Airbus A330 business class on the 6hr20min flight from Dublin (DUB) to Boston (BOS), as part of my review trip. Truth be told, after flying Etihad’s A321LR first class and Etihad’s A380 The Residence, “just” flying business class was a bit of a downgrade. Nonetheless I was looking forward to this flight, as it had been several years since I last flew Aer Lingus’ transatlantic workhorse (though I did just recently fly Aer Lingus’ A321XLR business class). So, how was Aer Lingus’ A330 business class? It was totally pleasant, in the…

His father chose this unique name in the hope that his son would embody its traits. When thinking about Hune’s life, it seems that this name might have done the trick, as he is somebody who has overcome many obstacles. Hune, who graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a Bachelor of Science (2023) and a master’s degree in Business Administration (2024), talked to AeroTime to share his inspiring story. In 2026,…
