Transatlantic Boeing 737 MAX flights from the US and Canada to Europe are growing. Given the relative newness of the model, it’d be odd if they weren’t. According to the latest Cirium Diio data, the MAX has an average of 24 daily transatlantic flights in September, up from 19 daily in the same month last year. Air Canada, Icelandair, United Airlines, and WestJet will operate them. Schedule analysis reveals that the Boeing narrowbody will operate 3.3% of all transatlantic passenger services. One in every 30 takeoffs will be on this type. Perhaps more surprisingly, the MAX will only operate a…

Because it didn’t perform a fuel dump, the landing was fairly heavy. source
Rwanda’s national carrier RwandAir received two Boeing 737-800 aircraft on Aug. 27, one of which is already in operation. Additionally, newly serviced aircraft are returning to operations, and another widebody is expected in the fourth quarter of this year. The national carrier says the move will improve reliability, reduce disruptions and enhance passenger experience as it strengthens its regional and international network. The two 737-800s replace two Bombardier CRJs that have already been phased out and sold. The 737s are the backbone of the carrier’s African network and also serve Dubai and Doha. In recent months, RwandAir faced what CEO Yvonne Makolo describes as “several unexpected…
Air Canada is the flag carrier of Canada and the largest carrier in the country. Since the turn of the millennium, Air Canada’s once-dominant market share has declined, as low-cost carriers have risen.

Aero Linx: International Fellowship of Flying Rotarians IFFR is one of the oldest Rotary Fellowships and was formally established through the efforts of a dedicated Rotarian, E. Edison Kennell, of Seattle, Washington, in 1965. In countries where distances are great and communications are limited IFFR pilots have used their aircraft to help with medical and other emergencies, and several Sections hold meetings at which young people are introduced to the world of aviation.

From 2016 (YouTube Edition): Upgrades For Your 182… Sun ‘n Fun 2016 presented the opportunity to see some really interesting things, and a hopped-up Cessna 182 on floats, called the Wipaire Boss 182 Amphibious, runs pretty high on the list for displaying the, “Right stuff.” ANN’s News Editor, Tom Patton, had the opportunity to stop by the Wipaire display to take a look at this mean looking piece of machinery. To get the scoop, Tom met up with Brittnie Brink, who is with aircraft sales at the Wipaire Company.
