Li-ion thermal runaways in aircraft cabins, Ryanair engine blade-out accident, two planes with the same flight number at the same airport at the same time, Marine One and commercial operations at DCA, Air India crash report update, Boeing 737 Max crack inspections, hiring gamers to become air traffic controllers, and the Heart Aerospace X1 battery-electric demonstrator first flight. Aviation News Li-ion Thermal Runaways on the Rise in Aircraft Cabins UL Standards & Engagement (ULSE) issued a 2025 Data Review, Lithium-ion Battery Incidents in Aviation [PDF, 13 pages]. The study reports a 15% increase in Lithium-ion battery thermal runaway incidents on passenger flights in 2025, compared to the year prior. Portable charger incidents increased 42%, ahead of e-cigarettes, with cell phones the third most common device involved in thermal runaways. The data comes from the voluntary ULSE Thermal Runaway Incident Program (TRIP). More than 40 passenger and cargo airlines participate in the program. These incidents cost the industry an average of $1.8 million a year, or $96,000 per incident, “in damage, disruption, and associated losses.” To mitigate the risk of thermal runaway incidents, ULSE recommends cabin crew training, standards for onboard safety equipment to help manage thermal runaways, and more passenger education. Bird strike suspected in Ryanair engine blade-out accident In July, a Malta Air Boeing 737-800, doing business as Ryanair flight 1879, experienced a No 2 fan-blade-out failure as it climbed out of Thessaloniki International Airport in Greece. Engine fragments breached the fuselage and the cabin depressurized. A passenger was partially sucked out through a window that blew out. In its Aviation Investigation Preliminary Report [PDF, 13 pages], the NTSB reports: “Examination of the airplane revealed that the No. 2 engine, an CFM International (a joint company between Safran Aircraft Engines and GE Aerospace) model CFM56-7B26, experienced a fan blade separation that resulted in engine fragments striking the fuselage and the right horizontal stabilizer. The pressurized section of the fuselage was penetrated 1) through the passenger cabin window located at row 11, as well as 2) lower lobe fuselage skin behind the right wing-to-body fairing… Additional impact damage was found on the right wing-to-body fairing, a dent with paint smearing on the fuselage window belt skin, a dent on a stringer common to the dented fuselage window belt skin, a gouge on the right horizontal stabilizer upper skin and a dent on the right horizontal stabilizer leading edge.” View of the No.2 (right) engine inlet. View is looking aft..Courtesy NTSB. “Examination of the engine and nacelle revealed that one fan blade (No.10) had fractured and separated below the blade platform. The outer blade tips were fractured and separated on two additional fan blades (Nos. 16 and 21). All remaining blades were full length but exhibited varying levels of impact deformation. Three loose fan blade fragments were recovered from the engine. A visual examination of the core was performed and there was no evidence of radial uncontainment though the engine cases, or any undercowl fire. The engine inlet cowl, which is forward of the fan case, exhibited evidence of punctures…” Bird remains were recovered and hand-carried to the Smithsonian Institution Feather Identification Lab in Washington. The Greece Hellenic Air and Railway Safety Investigation Authority (HARSIA) delegated the investigation in full to the NTSB.

A Phoenix air traffic controller with 25 years on the job quickly recognized the problem and referred to the flights as “American 2482 on the arrival” and “American 2482 on the departure.” See: ‘It Could Have Been Disastrous': Air Traffic Controller Carefully Handles Two American Airlines Planes With the Same Callsign as They Flew Towards One Another Passenger plane taking off got too close to Trump's Marine One helicopter, NTSB and FAA to investigate Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is located about three miles from the White House. When the president departs the Ellipse in Marine One, airport traffic is typically halted. This time, airport traffic continued for a few minutes. The FAA said, “…there was momentary loss of separation after which the aircraft continued to move away from one another.” Ahmedabad tragedy: Supreme Court accepts pilot dad’s plea not to make Air India crash report public The Supreme Court of India granted a request from the 91-year-old father of one of the pilots killed in the June 2025 Air India Ahmedabad crash (Flight AI171, 260 dead) that the final crash investigation report from the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) be submitted to the court in a sealed cover rather than made public. The AAIB had told the court its final report would be ready by October, and the government agreed to submit it in a sealed cover out of respect for the father’s wishes, even though the Solicitor General had initially opposed keeping it confidential, citing international investigation norms under ICAO. FAA orders crack inspections for hundreds of Boeing 737 Max jets The final rule applies to certain Boeing 737-8, -9, and -8200 Max models, estimated to be 471 planes. While no cracks have been found in these Max models, the FAA received reports of cracks in a forward “bear strap” for several older 737 NG planes.

VOV1 - Một loạt dấu hiệu bất thường đang được hé lộ sau sự cố một máy bay của hãng hàng không Ấn Độ Air India bất ngờ mất độ cao gần 100 mét trên hành trình từ Phuket, Thái Lan đến New Delhi, Ấn Độ, khiến 17 người bị thương.Chiếc máy bay Airbus A320 mang số hiệu AI2379 gặp sự cố ngày 4/8, khoảng hai tiếng rưỡi sau khi cất cánh từ Phuket, Thái Lan. Khi đang bay ở độ cao khoảng 11.000 mét, máy bay bất ngờ mất khoảng 100 mét độ cao, sau đó ổn định trở lại và tiếp tục hành trình, hạ cánh an toàn tại Niu Đê-li. Máy bay chở 137 hành khách và 8 thành viên phi hành đoàn. Sự cố khiến ít nhất 17 người bị thương. Tổng cục Hàng không Dân dụng Ấn Độ (DGCA) đã xếp vụ việc vào diện “sự cố nghiêm trọng” và giao Cơ quan Điều tra Tai nạn Hàng không (AAIB) tiến hành điều tra toàn diện.Theo truyền thông Ấn Độ, những thông tin mới nhất cho thấy sự cố có thể không đơn thuần là do nhiễu động không khí. Dẫn nguồn điều tra, các hãng tin Ấn Độ cho biết, chế độ lái tự động của máy bay đã bị ngắt, buộc phi công phải chuyển sang điều khiển bằng tay. Đáng chú ý, máy bay được cho là gặp nhiều trục trặc ở hệ thống thủy lực, trong đó có khả năng cả ba hệ thống gặp sự cố cùng lúc. Những trục trặc này được cho là xuất hiện ngay trước thời điểm máy bay mất độ cao. Tuy nhiên, các yếu tố thời tiết và nhiễu động không khí vẫn chưa được loại trừ. Hiện dữ liệu từ thiết bị ghi dữ liệu chuyến bay và thiết bị ghi âm buồng lái đã được thu thập để phục vụ điều tra. Nhà sản xuất Airbus đã cử đội ngũ chuyên gia tới hỗ trợ Ấn Độ. Cơ quan Điều tra và Phân tích An toàn Hàng không Dân dụng Pháp (BEA) cũng tham gia hỗ trợ làm rõ nguyên nhân vụ việc.Ngoài vấn đề kỹ thuật và thời tiết, việc tuân thủ quy định về sử dụng chất hướng thần của tổ phi công cũng đang được xem xét. Cả hai phi công đã bị tạm thời đình chỉ bay và kiểm tra chất hướng thần theo quy định hàng không. Việc sàng lọc ban đầu đối với cơ trưởng cho kết quả “không âm tính” và mẫu xét nghiệm đã được gửi đi kiểm tra thêm. Tuy nhiên, điều này chưa đồng nghĩa với việc cơ trưởng đã sử dụng chất cấm và kết luận cuối cùng vẫn chưa được công bố.Hiện các nhà điều tra đang phải làm rõ liệu máy bay mất độ cao do nhiễu động, trục trặc kỹ thuật, vấn đề liên quan đến tổ phi công, hay là sự kết hợp của nhiều yếu tố. Vụ việc đang thu hút sự quan tâm đặc biệt của dư luận trong bối cảnh ngành hàng không Ấn Độ tiếp tục tăng cường các biện pháp kiểm tra an toàn sau các sự cố hàng không trước đó./.

VOV1 - Các hãng hàng không lớn của Ấn Độ, là Air India và IndiGo đồng loạt cắt giảm hoạt động khai thác máy bay thân rộng trên các đường bay quốc tế do chi phí vận hành gia tăng. Động thái này phản ánh những khó khăn mà ngành hàng không Ấn Độ đang phải đối mặt trước biến động của thị trường năng lượng và các căng thẳng địa chính trị từ Trung Đông.Trong thông báo, hãng hàng không IndiGo quyết định cắt giảm một phần hoạt động khai thác máy bay thân rộng; tạm ngừng khai thác đường bay giữa New Delhi và thành phố Manchester của Anh từ ngày 31/8 tới. Đồng thời, hãng cũng sẽ hoàn trả một trong sáu máy bay Boeing 787 Dreamliner đang thuê từ hãng hàng không Norse Atlantic Airways của châu Âu. IndiGo cho biết các đường bay quốc tế đường dài còn lại vẫn được duy trì theo kế hoạch.Lãnh đạo IndiGo cho biết quyết định được đưa ra trong bối cảnh giá nhiên liệu hàng không tăng mạnh, các tuyến bay phải kéo dài hơn do những hạn chế về không phận tại một số khu vực, cùng với biến động tỷ giá hối đoái gây áp lực lên chi phí khai thác.Động thái của IndiGo diễn ra chỉ ít ngày sau khi Air India công bố cắt giảm nhiều chuyến bay trong nước và quốc tế nhằm ứng phó với chi phí nhiên liệu leo thang. Theo các báo cáo trong ngành, giá nhiên liệu hàng không tại Ấn Độ đã tăng mạnh trong thời gian gần đây do những bất ổn tại Trung Đông, khiến chi phí khai thác của các hãng hàng không tăng đáng kể.Mặc dù phải điều chỉnh hoạt động trong ngắn hạn, song hãng hàng không IndiGo khẳng định vẫn tiếp tục theo đuổi chiến lược mở rộng đội bay thân rộng trong dài hạn. Hãng đã đặt mua hàng chục máy bay Airbus A350 nhằm tăng cường năng lực khai thác các đường bay quốc tế trong những năm tới.Giới chuyên gia nhận định việc các hãng hàng không lớn của Ấn Độ đồng loạt cắt giảm chuyến bay cho thấy áp lực ngày càng lớn từ chi phí nhiên liệu và các yếu tố địa chính trị đối với ngành hàng không toàn cầu, bất chấp nhu cầu đi lại bằng đường hàng không vẫn duy trì ở mức cao.Đình Nam/VOV- New DelhiMột máy bay của hãng IndiGo chuẩn bị hạ cánh (Ảnh: Reuters)

Over several days, Ukrainian drones have repeatedly struck oil export facilites in Primorsk and Ust-Luga in the Baltic Sea, and Novorossiysk in the Black Sea. Seaborne exports of Russian crude oil have been reduced as a result. Troubled airline Air India is on the lookout for a new CEO after Campbell Wilson announces he's stepping down as chief executive. And a US hedge fund has launched a takeover bid for the world's biggest music company, Universal Music Group.
Hablamos con Payo, vocalista de Grupo Frontera, quien nos contó novedades sobre el grupo, con quién quisieran una nueva colaboración y cómo ha logrado bajar de peso y verse en su mejor momento. Los asuntos legales entre Cruz Martínez y Alicia Villarreal aún no se solucionan, hablamos con el músico y esto nos contó sobre lo que está ocurriendo. Belinda está rodando una nueva película en España y la cachamos en algunas escenas con su compañero de rodaje.
Today we'll be talking about the Thai-flagged shipping vessel that was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, an Air India hard landing at Phuket airport disrupting runway operations, and a little later Don Mueang airport is getting ready automated passport screening to 24/7 service.
L'escalation in Medio Oriente sta colpendo duramente il trasporto aereo: tra fine febbraio e inizio marzo sono stati cancellati oltre 43 mila voli nell'area, con forti ripercussioni sulle rotte tra Europa, Asia e Oceania. Le compagnie sono costrette a deviare i percorsi evitando le aree di conflitto, aumentando tempi di volo e costi operativi. Parallelamente pesa il rincaro del jet fuel: il prezzo del carburante per aerei, spinto dalla tensione energetica, potrebbe salire fino a 150-200 dollari al barile. Il risultato è un aumento generalizzato delle tariffe: alcune tratte business raggiungono prezzi eccezionali, fino a oltre 17 mila euro, mentre diverse compagnie - da Air France-KLM a Air India - annunciano supplementi e revisioni dei listini. Interviene Andrea Giuricin, Docente di Economia dei Trasporti all'Università Bicocca di Milano.Ilva, manifestazione d'interesse da Jindal. Urso: «Confronto con quella di Flacks»Si riapre il confronto sul futuro dell'ex Ilva con la manifestazione d'interesse del gruppo indiano Jindal, che si aggiunge all'offerta già in negoziazione del gruppo americano Flacks. Il ministro Urso punta a chiudere il dossier entro aprile, quando l'impianto dovrebbe tornare a una capacità produttiva di 4 milioni di tonnellate annue, soglia ritenuta necessaria per la competitività. La partita resta però condizionata dalla sentenza del tribunale di Milano che impone lo stop alla produzione dal 24 agosto per motivi sanitari, elemento che complica sia il prestito europeo sia il percorso di vendita. Il governo indica tre condizioni: presenza di partner industriali siderurgici, solidità finanziaria dell'acquirente e disponibilità alla cessione di aree per progetti di reindustrializzazione, con possibile utilizzo del Golden Power. Ne parliamo con Paolo Bricco, Il Sole 24 Ore.Il lusso nella crisi del Golfo. Intanto Golden Goose continua a correreLa crisi geopolitica nel Golfo colpisce anche il lusso: il Medio Oriente vale circa il 6% dei ricavi globali del settore e in queste settimane si registrano chiusure temporanee di boutique, riduzione del personale e difficoltà logistiche nei principali hub commerciali come Dubai. L'impatto arriva in una fase già delicata per il comparto, dopo rallentamento cinese e tensioni commerciali. In controtendenza, Golden Goose continua a crescere: dopo l'ingresso dei nuovi soci asiatici HSG e Temasek in un'operazione da 2,5 miliardi, il gruppo ha chiuso il 2025 con ricavi in aumento a 734 milioni e margine EBITDA al 34%. Il marchio resta tra i pochi del lusso a mantenere crescita a doppia cifra, grazie a una strategia centrata sull'esperienza del cliente e sul coinvolgimento diretto nei negozi. Ce lo racconta Silvio Campara, Amministratore Delegato Golden Goose.
L'histoire ressemble à une fable surréaliste, et pourtant, elle est parfaitement vraie. Elle se déroule en 1965, à une époque où Dalí est déjà une star mondiale, conscient que sa vie elle-même est devenue une œuvre d'art.Cette année-là, la compagnie Air India souhaite renforcer son image luxueuse auprès de ses clients VIP. L'idée est simple : commander à Salvador Dalí une série d'objets exclusifs, capables de transformer un banal vol long-courrier en expérience artistique. Dalí accepte le projet : il dessinera 500 cendriers, chacun orné de figures oniriques, éléphants aux pattes démesurées, symboles chers à son imaginaire.Vient alors la question du paiement. Combien réclame le maître du surréalisme ? Une somme astronomique ? De l'or ? Un cachet à six chiffres ? Dalí surprend tout le monde. Il refuse l'argent. Il ne veut ni chèque, ni contrat classique. Ce qu'il exige est autrement plus déroutant : un éléphant vivant.Les dirigeants d'Air India pensent d'abord à une provocation, puis comprennent que Dalí est parfaitement sérieux. Pour lui, l'éléphant n'est pas un caprice exotique, mais une obsession artistique. Dans son œuvre, l'animal incarne la force, la mémoire, le poids du monde porté par des jambes frêles. Posséder un éléphant, c'est prolonger sa création dans la réalité.La compagnie accepte. Et quelques semaines plus tard, un événement totalement improbable se produit : un éléphanteau de deux ans est chargé dans un avion cargo et envoyé en Europe. À son arrivée, Dalí organise une réception spectaculaire, digne d'un happening artistique. La presse est conviée, les invités fascinés. Dalí parade, théâtral, comme s'il venait de recevoir un chef-d'œuvre… alors qu'il l'a lui-même commandé.Pendant un temps, l'éléphant devient une attraction, presque une extension vivante de l'univers dalinien. Mais la magie s'estompe. Un éléphant n'est pas une sculpture : il grandit, il mange, il impose une logistique bien réelle. Peu à peu, Dalí se lasse. Le symbole devient contrainte.Quelques années plus tard, l'animal est confié au Zoo de Barcelone, où il finira sa vie loin des projecteurs et du surréalisme.Cette histoire résume parfaitement Dalí. Pour lui, l'art ne s'arrêtait jamais au cadre. Il transformait chaque commande en performance, chaque transaction en récit. Se faire payer en éléphant n'était pas une excentricité gratuite, mais une manière de rappeler au monde que, chez Dalí, la réalité devait toujours se plier à l'imaginaire. Et parfois, cela passait par un éléphanteau livré par avion. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
Updates on the DCA midair collision, JetBlue software glitch, Air India B787 fuel control switch, injuries on United B777 flight, and Toronto CRJ-900 rollover. Also, the AA CEO’s message to employees, DOT mandate to purge DEI, Portland International Jetport passenger volume, Elliott Management and Southwest, and flight attendant carry-on bags. Plus, our first report from the Singapore Airshow. Guest Air Accident Updates We look at some air accident and incident updates in the press: NTSB Chair Slams FAA for Ignoring Repeated Warnings, Says Midair Collision Was Preventable In this C-Span video, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy slams the FAA, saying that it let its guard down and ignored repeated warnings that ultimately led to the deadly midair collision near Washington Reagan National Airport on January 29, 2025, that killed 67 people. “We should be angry, because for years no one listened. This was preventable. This was 100 percent preventable,” Homendy says. Passengers on JetBlue Plane That Plummeted When Flight Computer “Glitched Out” Sue Airbus for Negligence The JetBlue A320 experienced a sudden “uncommanded loss of altitude,” initially attributed to a software glitch that Airbus believed could result from intense solar radiation. This led to an emergency worldwide recall in November 2025, with an estimated 6,000 A320-series aircraft affected. Three passengers on that flight are now suing Airbus for allowing an “unreasonably dangerous” glitch in the system to go unchecked. Those passengers question the solar flare explanation and claim that JetBlue was aware of a recurring issue with the Elevator and Aileron Computer (ELAC) system. No defect found in switch of jet grounded by Air India – regulator Pilots on an Air India B787-8 noticed that during engine start, the fuel control switch did not “remain positively latched in the run position when light vertical pressure was applied”. This happened twice. The third time, the switch operated normally. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said that when the switches were operated according to Boeing’s recommended procedure, they were found to be “satisfactory”, staying at run instead of moving to cut-off. The DGCA reported that, when incorrectly handled, the switch would “move easily from run to cut-off”. See also, Pilot alert prompts Air India checks on all Boeing 787 fuel control switchesby Rachel Chitra. Three United Airlines Flight Attendants Seriously Injured After Air Traffic Control Failed To Alert Pilots Of Turbulence The NTSB has released its final report on the February 10, 2024, incident where a United Airlines 777-200 experienced a sudden drop, seriously injuring three flight attendants and throwing several passengers and an unsecured baby into the ceiling. The NTSB concluded that a contributing factor was air traffic controllers’ failure to alert the pilots of turbulence in the area. TSB Canada Releases Update on 2025 Toronto CRJ-900 Crash Investigation Photo Credit: TSB Canada. The accident occurred at Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ) on February 17, 2025, when the CRJ-900 regional jet attempted to land and struck the runway hard, causing the right wing and tail section to separate from the fuselage. The plane flipped upside down and slid to a stop. The wreckage was transported to a hangar while the right wing, landing gear, wing box structure, and related parts were taken to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) Engineering Laboratory in Ottawa for testing. The metallurgical analysis of the wing and landing-gear fractures is now being examined. Recordings from the flight data recorder, cockpit voice recorder, quick access recorder (QAR), and the enhanced ground proximity warning system have been examined. Data from prior flights on the same aircraft were also compared to the accident flight for context. Evidence was collected from NAV CANADA's Toronto surface movement guidance system and the airport's closed-circuit television footage. A full meteorological review, including wind data and soundings, has also been finalized to understand weather conditions at the time. Simulator sessions have been run. The full preliminary report is available here. Aviation News Under Pressure American Airlines CEO Robert Isom Tells Staff That Everything Will Be Alright In New Video Message In a new video message to staffers, American Airlines chief executive Robert Isom says, “As we look forward to 2026, it's with a lot of excitement and confidence. I know we're going to do better financially and operationally. We have a plan to be solidly profitable this year, which will mean good things for our customers, our shareholders, and all of you.” Isom articulated strategies concerning the customer experience, hub facility investments, maximizing the power of the AA network and fleet, new routes, new frontline team members, new aircraft, AAdvantage program changes, and doing a better job selling the AA product. Trump's U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy Doubles Down on Purging DEI From Our Skies, Calls on Airlines to Affirm Pilot Hiring is Merit-Based The FAA is issuing a new mandatory “Operations Specification” (OpSpec) requiring all commercial airlines to commit to merit-based hiring for pilots formally. The mandate (New Mandatory OpSpec A134, Merit-Based Pilot Hiring, for Certificate Holders Conducting Operations Under 14 CFR Part 121 [PDF]) is effective February 13, 2026. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said, “When families board their aircraft, they should fly with confidence knowing the pilot behind the controls is the best of the best. The American people don't care what their pilot looks like or their gender—they just care that they are most qualified man or woman for the job. Safety drives everything we do, and this commonsense measure will increase transparency between passengers and airlines.” ALPA Statement on Pilot Training and Qualification Standards Capt. Jason Ambrosi, president of the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), issued a statement that included: “All ALPA pilots are trained and evaluated to the same uncompromising standard regardless of race, gender, or background. A pilot’s identity has no bearing on their ability to safely operate an aircraft. What matters is training, experience, and qualification — and on that front, there are no shortcuts and no compromises. “At ALPA, our work to advance aviation safety never stops, and as always, ALPA airline pilots remain ready to safely transport passengers and cargo to their destinations. Safety is, and always will be, our number one priority.” Portland International Jetport logs busiest year in its history The Portland International Jetport had a record year in 2025, with more than 2.59 million passengers traveling through the airport. The previous record was 2.44 million in 2024. The Jetport says it became the first airport in New England to surpass its pre-pandemic passenger levels in 2023. Southwest Airlines Turns a Corner as Activist Investor Elliott Walks Away Elliott Management, an activist investor, began to acquire shares of Southwest stock in mid-2024. It bought enough shares to gain board representation and dictate the Airline's strategic and financial changes. As a result, we saw paid assigned seating, baggage fees, expiring travel credits, and adjustments to its Rapid Rewards program. Southwest also looked at asset sales and balance sheet strategies to fund share buybacks. But in late 2025, Elliott began reducing its stake, and by early February 2026, its ownership dropped to about 9 percent. Two Elliott representatives have resigned from the board at Southwest. Southwest Airlines Now Faces a Flight Attendant Backlash As Hand Luggage Woes Grow Southwest moved a dedicated overhead bin for crew members to the back of the plane, and flight attendants are not happy. Passengers sitting at the front of the plane who have paid more or have elite status find that bin space is an issue. Singapore Airshow 2026 Brian Coleman interviewed several people at the Singapore Airshow. In this episode, he talks with Dan McQuestin, the Bell Country Manager in Australia. Mentioned “How LiveATC Went Live” by Rob Mark in the February 2026 issue of AIN Online. Hosts this Episode Max Flight, our Main(e) Man Micah, Rob Mark, and Erin Applebaum.

Donald Trump has suggested the US could deploy troops to Nigeria or carry out air strikes to stop what he called the killing of Christians by Islamist insurgents. Unfounded claims of a Christian genocide in Nigeria have been circulating in American right-wing religious circles for months. A Nigerian presidential adviser said jihadists in the Muslim-majority north of the country were attacking all religious communities, but that Abuja would welcome US help in tackling the Islamist insurgents.Also: the sole survivor of the Air India plane crash has told the BBC that he feels he is the luckiest man alive. Officials in Iran warn the main source of drinking water for residents of Tehran is at risk of running dry within two weeks. Flight delays continue across the US, as air traffic controllers working without pay due to the government shutdown are now calling in sick. The Maldives brings in the world's only generational smoking ban, and cricket fans across India celebrate the women's national side winning their first ever World Cup.
