Subscription Required By Scott Hamilton Oct. 20, 2025, © Leeham News: Airbus and Boeing face a challenge that is good news and bad news. The Airbus A220-300 is essentially an orphan. An “A220-500” is needed, but so is a higher production rate, and sales of the -300 don’t support this. Credit: Airbus. The good news: Demand for most of their airplanes is high. The bad news: neither can meet the demand. Delivery slots are sold out for the A320neo and 737 MAX families into the next decade. Widebody delivery positions are also increasingly scarce. And the supply chain continues to…

The Boeing 767 first flew in September 1982, being introduced with United Airlines as the launch customer. With 43 years of flying under its belt, the time is soon coming when the 767 will no longer be worth the maintenance costs. As of September this year, 1,341 767s have been delivered, with modern 767 variants still being produced today, such as the 767-200ER. This variant seats 181 people over a 6,590 nautical mile range, making it competitive on transcontinental passenger routes. However, big changes are coming to the passenger aviation industry thanks to new emissions guidelines coming into effect, and…

Miami-Dade County Commissioners want Miami International Airport (MIA) to secure nonstop passenger service to Asia, with Singapore and Tokyo identified by the facility as the first two target markets. Miami International currently has no nonstop services to Asia. An October 16 resolution directed Mayor Daniella Levine Cava to pursue the routes, indicating that they could provide benefits for tourism, business connectivity, and the city’s appeal to global companies. The board is also seeking new nonstop services to some other global destinations, such as Asunción, Paraguay, and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Miami already has some ultra-long-haul international services, with nonstop flights already…

Modern airplanes require a consistent flow of fuel. If the pressure or flow rate drops, less fuel will reach the engines, which can have serious consequences for engine performance and flight safety. Fortunately, there are devices to assist with the fuel delivery. Known as boost pumps, they ensure fuel reaches the engines at the right pressure and flow rate. Overview of Boost Pumps Boot pumps are electric pumps that pressurize an airplane’s fuel system. They are typically installed inside or near the fuel tanks. The primary job of a boost pump is to create and maintain positive pressure throughout the…

The Airbus A350 twin-engine passenger jet has become a modern-day success story. So far, the type is operated by 44 airlines, and in October 2025,  there were around 635 active aircraft in service. The aircraft comes in two variants, with the A350-900 being the standard version with 535 aircraft currently flying. Its larger sister, the A350-1000, is less common, with 100 in active service with airlines worldwide. The aircraft, still relatively new (its first flight was in 2013), has been used by carriers to replace older, less fuel-efficient aircraft on long-haul routes, although some can also be found flying higher-density…
