Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, and United Airlines are America’s three largest carriers. These legacy operators connect destinations worldwide, operating networks that cater to the needs of high-demand business travelers. As a result, they have extremely diverse revenue-generating profiles, with multiple major passenger segments contributing to their overall revenue growth. Loyalty programs, ancillary fees, partnerships, and other elements are all increasingly crucial components of how airlines generate revenue, and the three major legacy carriers are undoubtedly leading the way. Nonetheless, revenue generation is an accounting statistic, and as a result, there must be one carrier that comes out on top…

When it comes to aviation, few names command as much recognition as Boeing and Lockheed Martin. Both companies have shaped the skies for decades, producing some of the most iconic aircraft in history. Yet, their approaches to aviation and the markets they serve differ dramatically.

In this guide, we’ll unpack the key differences between Boeing and Lockheed, exploring their histories, product lines, innovations, and global impact. Understanding…

Boeing’s acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems is running behind schedule. When the two companies announced the deal in mid-2024, they expected it to close by July 2025. Two months after that deadline, they are still awaiting regulatory approval from both the European Commission and the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and expectations are that the deal will now only close by the end of 2025 at the earliest. The delay is primarily tied to the regulatory approvals that are necessary in Europe. Spirit AeroSystems also produces major components for Airbus, and the European manufacturer plans to acquire a portion of Spirit’s…

FedEx pilots have delivered a rebuke of company leadership, issuing a formal vote of no confidence in Chief Executive Officer Rajesh Subramaniam. The move, announced on September 29, 2025, by the FedEx Master Executive Council (MEC) of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), comes just weeks before the shipping giant’s annual meeting of stockholders.  The MEC represents more than 5,000 FedEx pilots. In its statement, the union said the declaration reflected a broad sentiment within the pilot ranks that Subramaniam has failed to uphold the “people-first” culture that founder Fred Smith established when he built FedEx around the philosophy of…

Air Italy is back, but not the privately owned airline based in Sardinia, which ceased operations in 2020. Aeroitalia reportedly plans to revive the Air Italy brand after losing a legal case with ITA Airways.

We will review the five rarest flights that you can buy a ticket to ride in the ever-increasingly short list of passenger Boeing 747 itineraries around the world.

Sometimes, when passengers are at the gate, with a clear view of the plane they are waiting to board, they may notice the pilots walking around the plane. At this point in the preflight checks, a final inspection of the plane is conducted by the pilots, during which they do a full walk around the plane. This check is the final chance for operators to check for anything out of order before the plane takes off. This inspection is called the preflight walk-around, and during this phase of preflight checks, pilots occasionally find items that have been missed by maintenance…
