After months of waiting the World Cup is finally underway with the first match held in Mexico where the co-hosts played South Africa following an opening ceremony that featured a performance from Shakira. The United States and Canada will also be home to football's biggest competition which the organisers hope will be a focus for sport rather than politics and controversy. Also, President Trump cancels an attack on Iran and claims that a deal to end the war is not only imminent but has the backing of the Islamic Republic's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. But Tehran said this was all "speculation". One year on from the Air India crash in Ahmedabad our correspondent reports on the discovery that some human remains were wrongly identified.

Switzerland could become the first country in the world to put a legal cap on its population. In a referendum this weekend, voters will decide whether to limit the country's population to 10 million people — which currently stands at 9.1 million. Also, today marks one year since an Air India flight bound for London crashed, killing all but one of the 260 people onboard, but a much-anticipated report from an investigation did not arrive on the anniversary, leaving victims' families without answers. Also, Mexico opened the World Cup with a 2–0 win over South Africa, but for many fans in Mexico City, the celebrations have unfolded far from the stadium. Plus, a new treatment in Brazil could offer a path to recovery for millions of people with spinal cord injuries around the world.Your support is critical in sustaining our nonprofit newsroom.

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)

The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld retrospective levy of 28 per cent GST on online gaming companies. The court also clarified that final decision in the matter is left to the concerned GST authorities. At the same time, it also upheld the laws enacted by Tamil Nadu and Karnataka criminalising online games played for money or stakes, including games such as rummy, poker and fantasy sports. A Bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan said, quote: “The online gaming operators are not mere facilitators or intermediaries, but are suppliers of actionable claims amenable to GST.” End quote. Accordingly, the levy of GST on the supply of actionable claims arising from betting and gambling is constitutionally valid, it said, while setting aside a Karnataka High Court judgment. The case arose from GST notices issued to real-money gaming companies on the basis that 28 per cent tax was payable on the full face value of bets or contest entry amounts, and not merely on the platform fee or gross gaming revenue. The gaming industry's case was that GST could only be levied on gross gaming revenue, which is the amount retained by platforms after deducting winnings. The Supreme Court ruling, which comes after over one lakh crore rupees worth of showcause notices issued to gaming companies, is expected to put pressure on their margins, with survival likely to hinge on aggressive cost rationalisation and rapid business model adaptation. Meanwhile, in a move aimed at turning the country's vast ration distribution network into a technology-driven welfare platform, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs on Wednesday approved continuation of the SARTHAK-PDS scheme for another five years with a central outlay of 25,530 crore rupees. The revamped scheme seeks to modernise the public distribution system by bringing together foodgrain logistics, beneficiary management and grievance redressal on a single digital architecture, while also easing the financial burden on States for transporting grains to ration shops. Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said the scheme covers the entire supply chain, from identification of beneficiaries and movement of foodgrains to citizen feedback mechanisms and reduction in transportation delays. The scheme will run till March 31, 2030. In the aviation sector, Air India will reduce up to 22 per cent of its domestic flights amid rising operational costs due to high fuel prices, according to sources. The loss-making airline, which is facing financial headwinds, has already reduced international flights by around 27 per cent. Air India operates around 4,400 weekly flights. Out of these, about 3,600 are domestic and 800 are international services. In a statement, the airline said that, in continuation of previously announced adjustments to select international services between June and August 2026, it has temporarily rationalised operations on certain domestic routes during the same period, with a reduction in frequencies on select routes. Sources indicate that 20 to 22 per cent of domestic flights will be reduced, with the airline citing the sustained impact of high fuel prices on overall operations. And on the global front, as tensions in the Middle East approach a critical juncture, reports have surfaced regarding a draft memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran aimed at de-escalating the ongoing conflict, according to Iranian state media. With President Trump convening senior officials to finalise a potential agreement, the proposal offers a roadmap for restoring stability in the vital Strait of Hormuz while navigating the complexities of regional military presence. According to Iran's state television, the preliminary document outlines a multi-layered peace process designed to wind down hostilities and address key economic and security concerns. Under the proposal, Iran would restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to pre-war levels within 30 days. Transit would be managed by Iran in coordination with Oman, though the current draft reportedly excludes US military vessels from this specific transit framework.

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.
Akasa Air wants to be India's most efficient low-cost carrier. Founded in 2022 by veterans who watched Jet Airways and Go Air collapse, the airline is copying IndiGo's early playbook — single aircraft type, ruthless cost discipline, long-term thinking. It has 35 planes, 5% market share, and serious backing from the Jhunjhunwala family. But Boeing strikes delayed deliveries, pilots left, two co-founders have exited, and airport slots remain locked up by bigger players. Meanwhile, IndiGo is stumbling and Air India is still reeling from last year's tragedy.

Để ứng phó, một số hãng hàng không Ấn Độ đã buộc phải áp dụng phụ phí nhiên liệu đối với nhiều chuyến bay nội địa và quốc tế. Tại Ấn Độ, các hãng hàng không thuộc tập đoàn Tata Group gồm Air India và Air India Express đã quyết định tăng phụ phí nhiên liệu trên nhiều đường bay do chi phí nhiên liệu hàng không tăng mạnh và thời gian bay kéo dài.Theo thông báo, mức phụ phí nhiên liệu sẽ được triển khai theo từng giai đoạn.Cụ thể, đối với các chuyến bay nội địa và các tuyến bay giữa Ấn Độ với các nước thuộc Hiệp hội Hợp tác Khu vực Nam Á (SAARC), hành khách sẽ phải trả thêm 399 Rupee/vé được đặt sau ngày 11/3. Trong khi đó, các chuyến bay đến và đi từ khu vực Tây Á sẽ áp dụng phụ phí 10 USD. Đối với các chuyến bay của Air India tới Đông Nam Á và châu Phi, mức phụ phí nhiên liệu hiện hành sẽ tăng 50%, lên lần lượt 60 USD và 90 USD.Trong giai đoạn hai, áp dụng cho vé đặt từ ngày 18/3, Air India sẽ tăng phụ phí đối với các chuyến bay tới châu Âu, Bắc Mỹ và Australia. Theo đó, phụ phí đối với các chuyến bay tới châu Âu sẽ tăng 25% lên 125 USD, còn các chuyến bay tới Bắc Mỹ và Australia sẽ tăng khoảng một phần ba, lên mức 200 USD.Giai đoạn ba sẽ được công bố chi tiết sau. Những vé đã đặt trước thời điểm áp dụng sẽ không bị tính phụ phí mới, trừ khi hành khách thay đổi ngày bay hoặc hành trình.Theo Air India, kể từ đầu tháng 3/2026, giá nhiên liệu máy bay - vốn chiếm gần 40% chi phí vận hành của các hãng hàng không – đã tăng đáng kể do nguồn cung toàn cầu bị gián đoạn. Tại Ấn Độ, áp lực chi phí càng gia tăng khi nhiên liệu hàng không phải chịu mức thuế tiêu thụ đặc biệt và thuế giá trị gia tăng (VAT) cao tại các thành phố lớn như Delhi và Mumbai.Ngoài ra, các chuyến bay của Air India tới châu Âu và Bắc Mỹ còn chịu ảnh hưởng từ việc Pakistan cấm các hãng hàng không và máy bay Ấn Độ sử dụng không phận nước này, khiến thời gian bay kéo dài hơn và làm gia tăng lượng nhiên liệu tiêu thụ./.Đình Nam/VOV New DelhiMáy bay chở khách của Air India (Ảnh: ANI)
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.

El ataque conjunto de EEUU e Israel a Irán ha colocado al mercado del crudo en un punto crítico: el estrecho de Ormuz. Por esta vía estratégica transitan cada día más de 20 millones de barriles, cerca de una quinta parte del consumo mundial y un tercio del petróleo transportado por mar. El Brent y el West Texas han llegado a subir un 12% este lunes con el mercado ya mirando el nivel psicológico de los 100 dólares por barril. La reacción se ha dejado sentir también en la renta variable. En Asia, el Nikkei llegó a caer más de un 2% en la apertura. Shanghai y Hong Kong también arrancaron con descensos, en una sesión marcada por la cautela.En Europa y EEUU, los futuros anticipan una sesión de caídas. Por sectores, el mercado ya marca ganadores y perdedores. Las aerolíneas están entre las más castigadas. Cancelaciones y desvíos de vuelos en Oriente Medio elevan costes y reducen actividad. United, Air India, Lufthansa o Qatar Airways han anunciado suspensiones. El transporte marítimo también sufre. MSC y Maersk han suspendido su tránsito por el estrecho de Ormuz. El sector tecnológico, especialmente el estadounidense, podría verse presionado si el repunte del petróleo reaviva la inflación y obliga a la Reserva Federal a mantener tipos altos durante más tiempo. En el lado opuesto, energía y defensa destacan como los sectores potencialmente beneficiados. Hernán Cortés, socio fundador de Olea Gestión; Cayetano Cornet, consejero y socio fundador de Cartesio; Juan Huerta de Soto, portfolio manager de Cobas AM; y Pablo Istillarte, COO en Hamco AM analizan en CApital Intereconomía las derivadas de este conflicto en los mercados y su impacto en los diferentes. activos.

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.

We look at the Air India Boeing 787 crash and the friction between investigators, Boom Supersonic's plan for stationary power generation, Spirit Airlines' new labor agreements, the canceled TSA labor contract, DHS purchase of Boeing 737s, ethics and the FAA Administrator, the V-22 Osprey accident rate, A-10 retirement postponement, return of PanAm, and fumes in the cabin. Aviation News Air India Boeing 787 Crash Probe Leads to Tussle Between Investigators India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) and U.S. agencies, such as the NTSB and FAA, investigating the Air India crash have clashed over where and how to read out the flight recorders, access to evidence, and the overall pace and transparency of the investigation. U.S. officials reportedly feared a lack of openness, while Indian officials pushed back strongly against what they saw as outside interference and challenges to their competence. Boeing 787, courtesy Air India. Preliminary technical findings point toward the 787's fuel control switches being moved from “RUN” to “CUTOFF,” starving both engines of fuel shortly after takeoff. Some U.S. sources suspect deliberate pilot action, while Indian authorities have downplayed pilot culpability in public. Source article in the Wall Street Journal: Officials Clash in Investigation of Deadly Air India Crash Air India Admits Compliance Culture Needs Overhaul After Flying Airbus Without Permit, Document Shows An Air India investigation found that one of its Airbus planes conducted eight commercial flights without an airworthiness permit. “Systemic failures” were cited, and the airline admitted it needed to make compliance improvements. Boom Supersonic Secures Breakthrough AI Engine Deal Boom Supersonic is developing the Symphony propulsion system to power its Overture supersonic airliner. At the same time, AI data centers require enormous compute power, and they need energy to do that. Boom says that it will develop the land-based Superpower 42-megawatt natural gas turbine, based on the Symphony engine. If successful, the Superpower would generate a revenue stream and provide operating data. Crusoe Energy has 29 Superpower units on order, with delivery expected in 2027. Major aero‑derivative OEMs offering ground power generation include: General Electric, Siemens Energy, Mitsubishi Power, Rolls‑Royce, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries. AvWeek reports that Boom has closed a $300 million funding round, which the company says, together with the AI gas turbine deal, will be sufficient to complete development of the Symphony and initial Overture aircraft.

Shortly after takeoff, the plane narrowly avoided a collision with a US Air Force refueling tanker. Spirit Airlines Reaches Another Milestone in its Restructuring as Pilots and Flight Attendants Ratify Agreements Spirit Airlines announced the ratification of labor agreements with pilots (represented by the Air Line Pilots Association) and flight attendants (represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA). The two agreements are subject to court approval. 82% of the pilots voted in favor of the contract, which allows temporary reductions in pay rates and retirement contributions effective January 1, 2026. Pay rates are restored through guaranteed increases on August 1, 2028, and January 1, 2029. Company-funded retirement contributions will be fully restored by July 1, 2029. See ALPA Press Release: Spirit Airlines Pilots Ratify Restructuring Agreement. US invalidates union contract covering 47,000 TSA officers, AFGE vows to challenge The American Federation of Government Employees represents airport screening officers and plans to file a lawsuit after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem terminated the collective bargaining agreement. DHS plans to implement a new labor framework on January 11, 2026, when the collection of union dues from TSA officers’ paychecks will cease. TSA said the new labor framework “will return the agency back into a security-focused framework that prioritizes workforce readiness, resource allocation and mission focus with an effective stewardship of taxpayer dollars.” US signs nearly $140m deal to purchase six Boeing 737s for use in deportations The Department of Homeland Security signed a contract with Arlington, Virginia-based Daedalus Aviation Corporation to purchase six Boeing 737 planes for deportation operations. DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said: “This new initiative will save $279m in taxpayer dollars by allowing ICE to operate more effectively, including by using more efficient flight patterns.” Daedalus Aviation Corporation focuses on turnkey flight operations and specialized charter services for government and high‑stakes commercial clients. They emphasize contingency, evacuation, and other critical missions. Senator says FAA administrator failed to sell multimillion-dollar airline stake as promised Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Washington) says FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford promised to sell his multimillion-dollar stake in Republic Airways under his ethics agreement, but he has failed to do so. Bedford agreed to sell all his shares within 90 days of his confirmation, but 150 days have now passed. In a letter to Bedford, Sen. Cantwell writes, “It appears you continue to retain significant equity in this conflicting asset months past the deadline set to fully divest from Republic, which constitutes a clear violation of your ethics agreement. This is unacceptable and demands a full accounting.” New V-22 Mishap Reviews Find Material Issues with Osprey, Poor Communication Between Services Two new reports point to faulty parts, poorly understood maintenance procedures, and a lack of communication across the services. The result was a lack of safety and reliability across the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. One report was from the Naval Air Systems Command, and the other was from the Government Accountability Office. Both had been in the works for two years. Twenty people were killed in V-22 Osprey accidents from 2022 to 2024. Congress Postpones A-10 Retirement The A-10 Thunderbolt II (the Warthog) close support aircraft has been on the verge of retirement for years. The National Defense Appropriations Act (NDAA) directs the Air Force to keep at least 103 A-10 aircraft in its inventory until a phaseout in 2029. The NDAA limits retirement plans for other aircraft: KC-10 tankers, the F-15E Strike Eagle, and the E-3 Sentry surveillance plane. Delays in supplying replacements are cited as the reason. Pan Am plans future Airbus A320neo operations as part of Miami launch The “new Pan Am” is a startup effort to revive the Pan American World Airways brand as a U.S. Part 121 scheduled airline. Pan American Global Holdings acquired the rights to the Pan Am brand in 2023. Pan Am intends to deploy Airbus A320neo aircraft as part of its future operations in Miami. There are few details about the executive team, but Ed Wegel is described as a Pan Am co-founder. He is also the founder of AVi8 Air Capital, a niche aviation-focused investment and advisory firm with headquarters in the Miami, Florida area. The company is active in the relaunch of Pan Am, and this year (2025), they completed a comprehensive Pan Am business plan. Boeing Sued By Law Professor After Allegedly Inhaling Toxic Fumes On Cross-Country Flight A law professor who flew on a Boeing 737 aircraft operated by Delta Air Lines last year is suing Boeing, alleging that he suffered serious health issues after being exposed to toxic fumes in the cabin.
