The aircraft landed safely on Kansai's runway 24L about 35 minutes later. The aircraft is still on the ground in Osaka about 24 hours after landing. Japan's Ministry of Transport reported the crew received a cargo fire indication, the occurrence was rated a serious incident and is being investigated by the JTSB, who dispatched two investigators on site. On Sep 18th 2025 the JTSB reported the crew received a cargo fire indication and diverted to Kansai Airport, vacated the runway and stopped on the taxiway, where an emergency evacuation was carried out. Two people received injuries as result of the evacuation. An investigation has been opened. https://avherald.com/h?article=52cde915&opt=0 Incident: Contour CRJ2 at Chicago on Sep 17th 2025, dropped part of cowling on approach A Contour Aviation Canadair CRJ-200, registration N920SW performing flight LF-3548 from Fort Leonard Wood,MO to Chicago O'Hare,IL (USA), landed on Chicago's runway 09C without any apparent issue. The FAA however reported: "AIRCRAFT LOST A PORTION OF THE COWLING ON APPROACH, CHICAGO, IL.", the damage to the aircraft was "UNKNOWN". The aircraft is still on the ground in Chicago about 25 hours after landing. https://avherald.com/h?article=52d28343&opt=0 Incident: Tasman Cargo B763 at Sydney on Sep 10th 2025, descended below minimum safe altitude on final approach A Tasman Cargo Airlines Boeing 767-300 on behalf of DHL, registration VH-XQU performing flight HJ-22 from Hong Kong (China) to Sydney,NS (Australia), was on final approach to Sydney's runway 16R about 8nm before the runway threshold when the aircraft initiated a go around at about 1500 feet MSL (compensated for ambient pressure), turned downwind climbing to 3000 feet and joined another approach maintaining 3000 feet until overflying the point 8nm before the runway threshold. The aircraft continued for a safe landing. Australia's ATSB reported: "During approach, the aircraft descended below the minimum safe altitude. The approach controller received a minimum safe altitude warning (MSAW) and issued a safety alert. The crew subsequently conducted a missed approach.", rated the occurrence a serious incident and opened an investigation. https://avherald.com/h?article=52d2612e&opt=0 3 Different Planes Report Being Targeted By Lasers at Major U.S. Airport The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating reports from three flight crews saying their planes were targeted by lasers as they flew near Boston's Logan International Airport on Monday. Crew members from United Airlines Flight 2356, Southwest Airlines Flight 559 and Republic Airways Flight 4580 all said they encountered green lasers while in the air by Logan on Monday evening, according to a statement from the FAA. No injuries were suffered and flights were not affected, but the organization is looking into the matter. After the sightings, an air traffic controller warned pilots over radio of lasers in the area, according to CNN. “Attention all aircraft, unauthorized laser illumination event is in progress. It’s been reported about 2 miles north of Boston, at 600 feet on departure,” the controller said, via recorded audio from liveatc.net. This isn't the first time planes at Logan have been targeted by lasers. Back in 2023, several were struck while trying to land at the busy flight hub. Recent Laser-related incidents, per the FAA 12,840 in 2024 13,304 in 2023 5,913 so far in 2025 A serious matter While some may think pointing a laser at a plane is a harmless prank, it can have major consequences and is viewed as a consequential threat. “Shining a laser at an aircraft poses a serious safety threat and is a federal crime,” the FAA said. "Lasers can incapacitate pilots, many of whom are flying airplanes with hundreds of passengers." Being caught shining a laser at an airplane is punishable by a fine up to $32,646 per violation from the FAA. The agency says it handed out $120,000 in laser pointing signs in 2021. Additionally, violators may face federal criminal penalties of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/3-different-planes-report-being-184626927.html Jet runs off runway in Mayfield, strikes house No one was injured Thursday afternoon when a jet landing at the Mayfield-Graves County Airport ran off a runway and struck a house. According to the Graves County Sheriff's Office, just after 3:45 pm, the jet landed but the pilot was not able to get the aircraft stopped at the end of the runway. The jet continued through a grassy area, a perimeter fence, then crossed KY 58 into the front yard of a home, with the left wing striking the house. The Sheriff's Office reported that the homeowner was present at the time, but was not injured. The pilot was the only person on board, and was said to have no visible injuries. An investigation will be conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board. For safety reasons, KY 58 was closed at KY 131 on the west side, and at KY 301 on the west end. https://www.westkentuckystar.com/News/Local-Regional/No-injuries-reported-when-jet-runs-off-runway-in-M ****************** Date: Thursday 18 September 2025 Time: c. 15:38 LT Type: Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 Owner/operator: Stonecrest Capital LLC Registration: N577RT MSN: 525C0133 Year of manufacture: 2013 Fatalities: Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: 1 Other fatalities: 0 Aircraft damage: Substantial Category: Accident Location: Mayfield Graves County Airport (M25), Mayfield, KY - United States of America Phase: Landing Nature: Private Departure airport: St. Louis Regional Airport, IL (ALN/KALN) Destination airport: Mayfield Graves County Airport, KY (M25) Investigating agency: NTSB Confidence Rating: Information is only available from news, social media or unofficial sources Narrative: A Cessna 525C Citation CJ4, N577RT, sustained substantial damage when it overrun runway 19 (5002 x 100 ft) at Mayfield Graves County Airport (M25), Mayfield, Kentucky.

The woman, identified as 47-year-old Ketty Dilone, reportedly threatened crew members and had to be restrained with flex cuffs and duct tape after her behavior escalated. Law enforcement met the aircraft upon landing in Las Vegas, and Dilone is now facing federal charges. The recent incident adds to the ongoing problem of unruly passengers. Such cases peaked in 2021 at nearly 6,000 reports. While numbers have since declined, they remain high, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has logged more than 1,000 incidents so far this year. The Passenger Threatened The Crew & Had To Be Restrained Mid-Flight The incident occurred on American Airlines flight AA2470, a regular service from Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) to Harry Reid International Airport (LAS). According to the FBI’s probable cause affidavit, about halfway through the flight, Dilone left her seat and began walking down the aisle while yelling and recording passengers on her phone. When asked to stop filming, she became enraged and threatened multiple crew members, reportedly shouting, “I will kill you b***h!” She also acted aggressively toward flight attendants who were trying to calm her down. As her behavior continued, the cabin crew restrained Dilone in her seat using flex cuffs and a seat belt, the affidavit states. To stop her from slipping out of the restraints, a flight attendant (the victim) taped her torso to the seat with duct tape. Even then, Dilone managed to kick the crew member twice, once in the calf and then behind the knees, causing them to fall forward. The Crew Had To Monitor The Unruly Passenger Instead Of Preparing The Aircraft Apparently, because of the disruption, flight attendants had to rearrange passengers seated nearby. They moved several travelers away and placed 'volunteer passengers' next to Dilone. In addition, according to the affidavit, crew members had to stand by her seat during the aircraft’s descent, which meant they could not complete standard landing preparations. The flight landed on time at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, where law enforcement met the aircraft. Officers with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department took Dilone into custody. The FBI, which has jurisdiction over crimes committed aboard US aircraft, later booked her on federal charges of interference with a flight crew and assault by striking, beating, or wounding. She was then transported to the Henderson Detention Center in Henderson, Nevada, according to The Independent. Dilone now faces a felony charge of interference with a flight crew, which carries a sentence of up to 20 years, along with a misdemeanor assault charge that could add another year. Court records show she had previously been arrested on felony domestic violence charges, though she ultimately pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and was ordered to complete counseling. The FAA Has Reported Over 1,000 Unruly Passenger Incidents So Far This Year Unruly passenger cases remain a persistent challenge for airlines worldwide. According to the International Air Transport Association ( IATA), thousands of incidents are reported each year, with some escalating into serious threats or physical violence. The issue has become more pronounced since the pandemic. In fact, in 2021, the FAA investigated 5,973 incidents in the United States. The rate has since declined by more than 80% from that peak, but concerns remain. As of mid-September this year, the agency has investigated 1,154 cases. Penalties for disruptive passengers can be significant. Offenders face large fines, prison sentences, and potential bans from future flights. In some cases, passengers may also be held financially responsible for costs linked to diversions or damages. The FAA has strengthened its enforcement powers under the latest reauthorization bill. The agency can now propose fines of up to $37,000 per violation, and a single incident may result in multiple violations. Additionally, airlines themselves have also begun taking tougher action. Unruly passengers can also force costly diversions, as unscheduled landings sometimes run into millions of dollars in expenses for airlines. To deter such behavior, several carriers have introduced heavy fines. https://simpleflying.com/american-airlines-flight-attendant-assaulted-by-passenger/ IATA Pushes Safety, Sustainability and Standards at ICAO’s 42nd Assembly The ICAO Assembly, which convenes every three years, provides governments with an opportunity to set the agenda for global civil aviation. IATA Pushes Safety, Sustainability and Standards at ICAO’s 42nd Assembly On consumer protection, IATA called for states to align with ICAO’s Core Principles, rather than creating fragmented regulations that confuse travelers and unfairly burden airlines. Image Credit: ChatGPT Country: CanadaSHARE The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has outlined an ambitious agenda for the 42nd Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), taking place in Montreal from 23 September to 3 October 2025. With 14 working papers submitted, IATA is calling on states to strengthen global standards for aviation, ensure sustainability goals are met, and protect passenger trust through harmonized policies. A Crucial Assembly for Global Aviation The ICAO Assembly, which convenes every three years, provides governments with an opportunity to set the agenda for global civil aviation. Decisions taken during this period will directly influence how airlines, regulators, and industry partners navigate challenges ranging from climate change to safety risks and consumer expectations. Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General, emphasized the urgency of collective action: “It is critical that we secure stronger support for SAF production and CORSIA as key enablers of aviation’s commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Equally, we need agreement to avoid patchworks of debilitating tax measures and passenger rights regulations. And we must shore up safety with timely accident reports, mitigations for GNSS interference and preservation of critical radio-frequency spectrum.” Sustainability: SAF and CORSIA at the Forefront Aviation’s pathway to net zero emissions by 2050 hinges on the rapid scaling of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). IATA is asking states to: Support economic incentives for SAF production. Build functioning SAF markets. Avoid premature mandates that could inflate fuel prices without supply expansion. IATA also reiterated that CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation), agreed in 2016, must remain the sole global economic measure for emissions. Yet, with only Guyana issuing eligible emissions units so far, IATA is pressing governments to provide sufficient CORSIA-compliant credits while resisting overlapping national and regional taxes. Defending Global Standards on Tax and Consumer Protection IATA raised alarm over recent revisions to the UN Model Tax Treaty, which would allow countries to shift from residence-based taxation to source-based taxation for airlines. The association warns this could trigger double taxation, disrupt air service agreements, and increase administrative burdens without generating significant revenue. On consumer protection, IATA called for states to align with ICAO’s Core Principles, rather than creating fragmented regulations that confuse travelers and unfairly burden airlines. It urged governments to agree on definitions of “extraordinary circumstances” and to share accountability for disruptions across the aviation ecosystem. Safety Priorities: Accident Reports, GNSS Interference and Spectrum Protection Safety remains at the heart of IATA’s submissions. Key priorities include: Timely accident reports: Only 57% of accidents between 2018 and 2023 had final reports published, undermining industry learning. IATA calls for states to meet ICAO’s Annex 13 obligations. GNSS interference: Jamming and spoofing incidents near conflict zones are on the rise. IATA advocates better coordination between military and civil aviation authorities, improved detection systems, and cyber-hardening strategies. Radio spectrum protection: Aviation requires the 4.2–4.4 GHz band for radio altimeters, but 5G rollouts in countries such as the US, Australia, and Canada have raised interference concerns. IATA seeks stronger safeguards, coordinated regulation, and realistic retrofit timelines. Aircraft Mandates and Pilot Age Limits IATA has also called for more realistic timelines on aircraft mandates, noting that supply chain constraints and certification delays often undermine harmonization and delay safety benefits. Another key proposal is to raise the pilot retirement age for multi-pilot international flights from 65 to 67. This change, combined with stronger medical oversight and safeguards such as the “one under 65” rule in cockpits, would reflect longer, healthier pilot careers while maintaining safety standards. A Shared Global Agenda For Walsh, the Assembly is a test of international cooperation: “Everybody wants flying to be safe, efficient, and more sustainable. Many of our submissions are simply asking governments to implement what they have already agreed. The coming weeks in Montreal are essential to set the agenda, but the following three years of work will be even more important.” With sustainability, efficiency, and safety at stake, IATA’s agenda underscores the importance of global alignment. The outcomes of ICAO’s 42nd Assembly will shape not just aviation’s immediate recovery but also its long-term trajectory toward a greener and more resilient future. https://www.devdiscourse.com/article/other/3633086-iata-pushes-safety-sustainability-and-standards-at-icaos-42nd-assembly P&WC signs 15-year APU deal with Singapore Airlines Pratt & Whitney Canada has signed a 15-year maintenance agreement with Singapore Airlines for the upkeep of 34 APS5000 auxiliary power units (APUs). These APUs support the airline’s fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. According to Anthony Rossi, Vice President of Customer Service at Pratt & Whitney Canada, the agreement provides tailored maintenance solutions that will keep the APS5000 units operating at peak performance. He noted that the APS5000 is the industry’s first all-electric APU and was developed exclusively for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Its design offers improved fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and enhanced maintainability, contributing to the airline’s strong operational reliability. Rossi added that this contract would help ensure the APUs continue to meet the manufacturer’s original equipment standards. This, in turn, will support Singapore Airlines in maintaining its high levels of dispatch reliability and in focusing on providing an excellent passenger experience. The APS5000 is recognised as the quietest APU in its class and has the lowest emissions in the industry. It produces 450kVA of electrical power at sea level and can start and operate at altitudes of up to 43,100 feet. Over 1,400 APS5000 units have been produced, and the global fleet has accumulated nearly 16 million flight hours. Pratt & Whitney Canada’s maintenance programmes for its APU portfolio are designed to provide flexibility and predictable cost structures while maximising operational performance and extending maintenance intervals. The agreement with Singapore Airlines reinforces the company’s commitment to supporting customers with advanced and reliable APU technology that underpins the efficiency of modern long-haul fleets. https://avitrader.com/2025/09/19/pwc-signs-15-year-apu-deal-with-singapore-airlines/ American Airlines hit with $9.6 million judgment for neglecting passenger having stroke The ruling against the Fort Worth-based carrier was handed down in a California federal court. A federal California jury ruled that Fort Worth-based American Airlines should pay $9.6 million for neglecting a passenger who suffered a stroke onboard a flight from Miami to Madrid, failing to report his midflight symptoms. The San Jose-based jury found that when Watsonville, Calif., resident Jesus Plasencia suffered a stroke after takeoff on Flight 68 in March 2021, flight crew did not follow American’s policies and procedures, according to a statement from his attorneys. Plasencia, a chef, suffered a short transient ischemic attack, sometimes referred to as a mini stroke, while at the gate in Miami, according to evidence presented at the six-day trial, the statement said. Plasencia was unaware that the attack had happened. However, Plasencia’s wife, Marcela Tavantzis, alerted a flight attendant that her husband temporarily lost motor control and began speaking “gibberish,” according to the statement. A transient ischemic attack is likened to a temporary stroke and means there is a temporary lack of blood flow to part of a person’s brain, according to the Cleveland Clinic. The symptoms of a TIA are similar to an ischemic stroke, which can include one-sided weakness, slurred speech and blurred vision. Though most TIA symptoms subside within minutes, they are often a warning sign that a stroke is possible or even imminent, according to the Cleveland Clinic. “People may have a stroke shortly after a TIA, but not realize what the TIA was,” the Cleveland Clinic says on its website. Instead of reporting the incident to medical personnel, an American Airlines pilot cleared Plasencia for takeoff, in contradiction with the carrier’s policies, the statement said. After Plasencia began displaying stroke symptoms after takeoff, the flight crew asked other passengers to watch him but did not inform the pilot about the incident, according to the statement. As a result, Plasencia did not receive urgent medical treatment for his stroke for eight hours, the statement said. Typically, flights will be diverted to the nearest airport during emergency medical situations. “It is shocking that American Airlines responded so poorly to a medical emergency like this, and it is appalling that the airline tried to defend its conduct by claiming Mr. Plasencia had pre-existing conditions,” Darren Nicholson, an attorney for Dallas-based Burns Charest LLP and lead counsel for Tavantzis and Plasencia, said in a statement. Hannah Crowe, also an attorney at Burns Charest, and San Mateo, Calif.-based attorney Sanjiv Singh also tried the case. “Under a treaty called the Montreal Convention, passengers have extra protections on international flights,” Crowe said in a statement. “The jury rightfully determined American violated the law, and we are grateful for their verdict.” In response to a media inquiry regarding the verdict, American Airlines said in a statement, “The safety and well-being of our passengers is our highest priority. While we respect the jury’s decision, we disagree with the verdict and are currently evaluating next steps.” https://www.dallasnews.com/business/airlines/2025/09/18/american-airlines-hit-with-96-million-judgment-for-neglecting-passenger-having-stroke/ Gulfstream G700 added to Flexjet fleet Flexjet has formally introduced the Gulfstream G700 to its fleet. The aircraft will operate as part of the Red Label by Flexjet fractional programme. By the end of 2025, the company’s growing fleet of more than 340 private aircraft will include more than 60 large-cabin aircraft with international range – made up of Gulfstream G450s, G650s and three G700s. All are outfitted with LXi Cabin Collection interiors, and Starlink wi-fi connectivity. The G700 has a range of 7,750 nautical miles (14,350km) and a cruising speed of 567kts. The cabin has four distinct zones, accommodating up to 15 passengers plus a cabin server, with standout features including its 6ft 3in height (1.90m) clearance and 20 panoramic oval windows. Accommodating overnight flights, the interior includes a private fixed bedroom, lie-flat seats and a convertible divan. Flexjet said the aircraft allows for augmented crew shifts. Other cabin features include a circadian lighting system designed to minimise jet lag; a Plasma Ionisation Clean Air System that replenishes 100% of the cabin air with fresh air every two to three minutes; and a cabin altitude of 2,840ft while cruising at 41,000ft. “From the Baby Boomers to Gen Xers to corporate flight departments, the desire for larger aircraft that can fly longer distances continues to grow,” said Michael Silvestro, Flexjet CEO. “With a ramp presence that is second to none, unmatched size, speed and wellness-based cabin amenities, the G700 is strongly resonating, and our pre-sales indicate this is truly the ultra-long-range aircraft the market is most excited about.” The Red Label programme offers access to aircraft with LXi Cabin Collection interiors, with benefits including flight crews dedicated to a single aircraft/tail number. These dedicated crews include cabin servers trained at Flexjet’s Red Label Academy. https://www.businessjetinteriorsinternational.com/news/orders-deliveries/gulfstream-g700-added-to-flexjet-fleet.html oneworld Alliance considers Indian partner as market expands A Cathay Pacific Airbus A330 in Oneworld livery descends before landing at Hong Kong Airport in Hong Kong NEW YORK (Reuters) -The oneworld Alliance, an airline group with 15 members ranging from American Airlines to Qantas Airways, is considering an Indian airline partner as the market continues to grow, its chief executive said. "India is a market that we collectively have interest in finding somebody," CEO Nat Pieper told Reuters on Thursday, following a gathering of aviation executives and analysts known as the Wings Club in New York. Piper said adding a new member is "always tricky" because it has to work not only for the group as a whole, but also for each of the 15 members. Given that many of its members currently serve India, the alliance is also considering ways to leverage their joint presence in the country like with a loyalty deal or a joint lounge initiative, he added. "We have 10 members that actually serve in India and so it is a super important market, growing like crazy." Hawaiian Airlines is expected to join the alliance in 2026. Alaska Air completed its acquisition of the airline in 2024. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/oneworld-alliance-considers-indian-partner-213303630.html Spirit to slash flight capacity by 25% and cut jobs, memo says (Reuters) -Spirit Airlines (FLYY) is set to cut jobs as the airline plans to reduce capacity by 25% year-on-year in November, according to a memo seen by Reuters on Wednesday, deepening woes for the low-budget carrier. The cut by the airlines aims to "optimize our network to focus on our strongest markets", CEO Dave Davis told employees in the memo. "These evaluations will inevitably affect the size of our teams as we become a more efficient airline," the memo said. The number of roles that could be impacted remains unclear. The low-cost carrier continues to evaluate the size of its fleet and plans to meet with the airlines' union leaders in the coming weeks, according to the memo. CNBC earlier reported the restructuring plan. Spirit filed for bankruptcy protection last month for the second time in a year after a previous reorganization failed to put it on a firmer financial footing. Spirit's financial struggles, as well as a rush among U.S. carriers to chase premium travelers, have raised concerns that the era of cheap flights might be over for price-conscious travelers. Earlier on Tuesday, United Airlines ruled out bidding for assets of Spirit if they become available, which is expected as part of the discount carrier's restructuring process. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/spirit-slash-flight-capacity-25-021055546.html RAA Conference: ATR predicts US demand for 300 regional planes Texas-based JSX is one airline set to start ATR operations later this year. The aircraft manufacturer predicts many more similar opportunities Turboprop manufacturer ATR has presented data ahead of the RAA Leaders Conference, showing that it believes that regional air travel in the United States is at a turning point. The company explained that the country’s aging fleet of 50-seater regional jets will soon need to be retired, and without a cost-effective replacement in place, scores of regional airports will lose essential connectivity. ATR says that it has analysed historical and current air networks, including a study conducted by Seabury Airline Strategy Group, and identified a demand for 300 aircraft in the near future. “The U.S. regional market is at a crossroad,” said Alexis Vidal, Senior Vice President Commercial at ATR. “With 300 regional jets retiring and dozens of communities facing the real possibility of losing air service, this is about more than aircraft. It’s about offering a proven, efficient solution to reconnect communities, and grant them a quick access to economic opportunities throughout the country. It’s about offering airlines an efficient way forward to unlock untapped demand and open new routes profitably, even with fewer passengers. This is not just about replacing aircraft, it’s about revitalizing regional America.” https://www.aviationbusinessnews.com/low-cost/ CALENDAR OF EVENTS · ISASI ANNUAL SEMINAR 2025'September 29, 2025 – October 3, 2025, DENVER, COLORADO . 2025 NBAA Single-Pilot Safety Standdown; Monday, Oct. 13 | 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.; Las Vegas, NV . 2025 NBAA National Safety Forum, Tuesday, Oct. 14 – Wednesday, Oct. 15; Las Vegas, NV .
