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…

Since the first passenger flights took off, flying has changed in almost every possible way. The experience onboard, the way passengers are served, and what airlines offer have all evolved with time. In the early days of air travel, there were no separate cabins, just one basic class. As more people began to fly and aircraft grew larger, airlines began introducing more refined seating and higher service standards, giving rise to what we now call first class. By the 1930s, comfort had become a defining part of air travel. Many aircraft featured wide seats, tables, and even small lounge areas.…

British regional carrier Eastern Airways has suspended all flights and filed a notice of intention to appoint an administrator, a formal step under UK insolvency law that grants short-term protection from creditors while a company seeks a rescue or restructuring. The move, announced October 27, 2025, effectively grounds the airline after 28 years of operation.  According to the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), all Eastern Airways services have been canceled and passengers with booked flights are being told not to travel to airports. The regulator urged those with future bookings to make alternative arrangements and said information about refunds will be issued “in…

Eastern Airways has elected to cancel all flights, and it has filed a formal notice of intention to appoint an administrator, which shields the airline from creditors for ten business days as it begins to seek out options. The regional airline, which is based in Humberside, has returned aircraft to lessors, and it looks prepared to close after around 28 years in the market. Before suspending its operations, the airline ran four scheduled services between Aberdeen and multiple destinations across Scotland. The airline also operated a route from London Gatwick Airport (LGW) to Newquay, a destination in Cornwall. The Cornwall…

Delta Air Lines and Aeroméxico have asked a US federal court to block a government order requiring them to dismantle their long-standing joint venture, saying the directive would disrupt cross-border travel and cause heavy financial losses.  In a petition filed with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Washingrton D.C, the two carriers asked judges to halt enforcement of a September 2025 order from the US Department of Transportation (DOT) that ends their nearly nine-year partnership. The Trump administration directed the airlines to unwind the arrangement by January 1, 2026, citing competition concerns in the US-Mexico market.  The airlines said the DOT decision is…

A Delta Air Lines Airbus A220, which was operating Delta Air Lines Flight 3248 from Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) to Salt Lake City (SLC), ultimately suffered from an inadvertent emergency exit slide deployment while at Pittsburgh’s Gate D2. The incident occurred on the morning of October 26, 2025. The door in question was the first door on the left side of the aircraft, and the door was opened while still armed, something which resulted in the evacuation slide blowing onto the ramp. Passengers quickly deplaned on a jetbridge, and the process of removing the slide took around an hour. The…
