The aircraft initiated a drift down, the crew subsequently shut the engine down, declared emergency requesting emergency services to attend and diverted to Boston advising ATC, they would stop on the runway and wanted their brakes checked for overheating. The aircraft landed safely on Boston's runway 33L about 45 minutes later, stopped on the runway for an inspection by emergency and subsequently taxied to the apron. The remainder of the flight and the return flight DL-2 were cancelled. The aircraft remained on the ground in Boston for about 19 hours, then positioned back to New York JFK and resumed service the following day. https://avherald.com/h?article=52db3584&opt=0 Incident: Ryanair UK B738 at Oslo on Sep 27th 2025, instrument failure A Ryanair UK Boeing 737-800, registration G-RUKJ performing flight RK-3226 from Manchester,EN (UK) to Oslo Sandefjord (Norway) with 152 people on board, was on approach to Sandefjord Airport when the crew entered a hold due to problems with the airspeed indication and current weather conditions (fog). After holding for about 10 minutes at FL100 the crew decided to divert to Gothenburg (Sweden) where the aircraft landed safely on runway 21 about 40 minutes after entering the hold. The passengers were bussed to Oslo. The aircraft is still on the ground in Gothenburg about 12 hours after landing. https://avherald.com/h?article=52da9888&opt=0 Incident: Delta A332 near Accra on Sep 23rd 2025, fire in galley oven A Delta Airlines Airbus A330-200, registration N857NW performing flight DL-55 from Lagos (Nigeria) to Atlanta,GA (USA), was enroute at FL320 about 100nm northnorthwest of Accra (Ghana) when the crew decided to divert to Accra reporting a fire in one of the galley ovens. Cabin crew quickly contained the fire. Nigeria's CAA reported a fire broke out in one of the galley ovens. The fire posed no danger to aircraft and occupants and was quickly contained. The aircraft remained on the ground in Accra for about 48 hours, then continued to Atlanta as flight DL-9925. https://avherald.com/h?article=52d9e910&opt=0 Incident: American A321 near Orlando on Sep 25th 2025, hail strike An American Airlines Airbus A321-200, registration N523UW performing flight AA-2750 from Dallas Ft. Worth,TX to Orlando,FL (USA), was descending towards Orlando when the aircraft encountered hail causing damage to the windshield. The aircraft continued for a safe landing on Orlando's runway 18L.

An American Airlines plane landing at Charlotte Douglas International Airport last year.Credit...Travis Dove for The New York Times A stowaway was found dead in the wheel well of an American Airlines plane at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina on Sunday after it arrived from Europe, the police said. The body was found just after 9 a.m. while maintenance work was being done on the plane, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said in a statement. The police did not say where in Europe the flight had originated, and neither did they offer details about the identity of the stowaway. Detectives with the department’s homicide unit are investigating the death, the police said. It is rare for stowaways to sneak onto planes, but those who do often hide in the wheel well, a compartment underneath the plane where the retractable landing gear is stored during flight. The results are often fatal, according to data from the Flight Safety Foundation. Earlier this year, two bodies were found in the wheel well of a JetBlue plane after a flight from New York to Fort Lauderdale, Fla. In December, a body was discovered in the wheel well of a United Airlines flight that landed in Hawaii after flying from Chicago. Those who survive may do so through a rare combination of luck, heat generated in the wheel well and a loss of consciousness and hypothermia that can help preserve the nervous system, according to research from Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, and the Federal Aviation Administration. In 2022, a Kenyan man survived a flight from Johannesburg to Amsterdam by hiding in the front wheel well of a cargo plane. In 2021, a man who hid in the landing gear compartment survived a flight from Guatemala to Miami. And in 2014, a California teenager survived a five-and-a-half-hour flight in the wheel well of a plane that flew from San Jose, Calif., to Maui, Hawaii.

The announcement comes as families of victims from the deadly Potomac River crash are suing American Airlines and the U.S. government, alleging inadequate FAA oversight. Experts say that while new hires are a critical step, outdated technology and recent outages in major control towers highlight the urgent need for modernization. Nervous flyers, meanwhile, remain unconvinced their safety concerns will be eased anytime soon. https://spectrumnews1.com/ca/southern-california/transportation/2025/09/25/faa-safety-concerns-air-traffic-controllers-potomac-crash Stoned Ground Worker Smashes Into British Airways Jumbo Jet, Then Walks Away Without Reporting $228,000 Damage British Airways is suing a ground handling company at Chicago O’Hare, alleging that a worker who was high on marijuana caused more than $228,000 worth of damage to one of the airline’s Boeing 747 Jumbojets. The incident occurred back in September 2019, but after six years of trying to get the ground handling company to pay for the damage, BA’s attorneys have now filed a lawsuit in a New York district court. According to a civil complaint filed last week, the accident occurred while one of BA’s now-retired Boeing 747-400s was undergoing some minor maintenance at Chicago O’Hare before it was due to fly back to London Heathrow as flight BA294. British Airways uses a third-party ground handling company in Chicago called Ground Services International, or GSI for short, which is a subsidiary of the Dubai-based aviation services company Dnata. While GSI was servicing the aircraft ahead of its flight back to London, British Airways alleges that one of its workers drove a set of mobile airstairs into the right-hand wing, causing “significant damage.” To make matters worse, the worker then pretended that nothing had happened and failed to promptly alert their managers to the “obvious and noticeable” damage to the plane. While there’s no reason to believe that there was any malice involved, British Airways claims the worker later tested positive for Cannabis. British Airways was forced to ground the aircraft and cancel the flight, incurring significant costs to provide overnight hotel accommodation for the disrupted passengers, reroute them on alternative flights, and pay out compensation. The repairs and other expenses are estimated to have cost British Airways $228,028. Following the incident, British Airways asked GSI to indemnify the accident and get its insurers to cover the costs borne by the airline. Years later, GSI is yet to indemnify the accident, and its insurers have refused to compensate British Airways for the damage caused to the plane. Along with claims for the repair costs, as well as expenses in relation to looking after the disrupted passengers, British Airways is also suing GSI for “loss of revenue and reduced fleet capacity,” hangar and towing fees, and now the costs of bringing in attorneys to deal with the case. British Airways retired its Boeing 747s in 2020. BA’s legal department isn’t afraid to seek damages in court, as was seen earlier this year when the airline sued the operator of Boston Logan airport for damage sustained to an Airbus A380 due to a faulty piece of ground servicing equipment. British Airways sued Masspot for around $293,000 after the superjumbo’s electrical systems were knocked out when it was plugged into a ground power unit supplied by the airport operator. The plane’s electrical systems were badly damaged, and the plane had to be grounded while significant repairs were undertaken. British Airways demanded compensation from Massport, but when the two sides failed to reach an amicable resolution, BA called in its attorneys. Shortly after the lawsuit was filed, Massport managed to reach an out-of-court settlement with British Airways. What happened to BA’s fleet of Boeing 747-400s In early 2020, British Airways was the largest operator of the Boeing 747 in the world – affectionately known as the Queen of the Skies. But when the COVID-19 pandemic struck, the airline quickly grounded the quad-engined gas guzzlers, and it wasn’t long before rumors of their demise started to circulate. Sadly, in July 2020, British Airways confirmed that it would permanently retire its entire fleet of 30 Boeing 747s. The last two planes formally left the BA fleet in October 2020, marked by a rare dual takeoff from London Heathrow Airport. Would the 747s still be flying today if it weren’t for the pandemic? British Airways had planned to slowly retire its fleet of Boeing 747s from 2019, with the last plane leaving its fleet in 2024. That timeline, however, was reliant on British Airways taking delivery of the yet-to-be-certified Boeing 777X. Given the fact that the Boeing 777X isn’t due to join BA’s fleet until next year at the very earliest, and ongoing issues with Boeing 787 Dreamliner engines, it’s likely that if it hadn’t been for the pandemic, the 747s would still be flying today. British Airways wasn’t the only carrier to have hastily scrapped aircraft under the assumption that air travel would be impacted by the pandemic for many years. All of these airlines were miserably wrong in their predictions and have struggled to rebuild capacity in the years since. https://www.paddleyourownkanoo.com/2025/09/28/stoned-ground-worker-smashes-into-british-airways-jumbo-jet-then-walks-away-without-reporting-228000-damage/ FAA restores Boeing's ability to certify Max jets for flight more than 6 years after fatal crashes Boeing is getting back the ability to perform final safety inspections on 737 Max jetliners and certify them for flight more than six years after crashes of the then-new model killed 346 people, the Federal Aviation Administration said Friday. The FAA said it decided to restore the aerospace company's authorization to issue airworthiness certificates for Max and 787 Dreamliner passenger planes starting Monday following “a thorough review of Boeing's ongoing production quality.” Federal regulators took full control over 737 Max approvals in 2019, after the second of two crashes that were later blamed on a new software system Boeing developed for the aircraft. The FAA ended the company's right to self-certify Dreamliners in 2022, citing ongoing production quality issues. Going forward, Boeing and FAA inspectors will take weekly turns performing the safety checks that are required before aircraft are cleared for delivery and declared safe to fly. The FAA said the arrangement will free up more of its inspectors to conduct “rigorous” quality checks on the production line at Boeing plants. The Associated Press sent emailed requests Friday to Boeing for comment. The company's stock price was up about 4% in afternoon trading, as the FAA announcement coincided with news about Boeing securing two more orders from foreign airlines. Turkey's flag carrier, Turkish Airlines, said Friday that it planned to buy 75 Dreamliners and wants to eventually buy up to 150 more 737 Max jets. Boeing said the Max purchase would be the largest single order for its best-selling aircraft, if the deal is finalized. Norwegian Group, the aviation company that operates Norwegian Air Shuttle and regional airline Widerøe, also placed an order for 30 Boeing 737 Max 8 planes, Boeing said Friday. Since President Donald Trump’s return to the White House this year, his administration has made Boeing a focus of its plans to revive U.S. manufacturing. A number of international airlines have signed sales agreements with Boeing in recent months. Some Boeing critics have questioned how meaningfully the company has reformed its culture and processes to ensure the passenger planes it produces are safe. The FAA announced earlier this month that it was seeking $3.1 million in fines from Boeing over alleged safety violations between September 2023 and February 2024, including a blowout of a paneled-over exit door on a 737 Max during an Alaska Airlines flight. After the January 2024 Alaska Airlines incident, the FAA capped Boeing’s production of Max jets to 38 per month. In practice, the production rate fell well below that ceiling last year as the company contended with investigations and a machinists' strike that idled factories for almost eight weeks. The company said in July that it reached the monthly cap in the second quarter and would eventually seek the FAA's permission to increase production. The FAA said in a Friday statement that if Boeing requests an increase, “onsite FAA safety inspectors will conduct extensive planning and reviews with Boeing to determine if they can safely produce more airplanes.” https://finance.yahoo.com/news/faa-restores-boeings-ability-certify-191849160.html Delta is replacing engines on Airbus aircraft to address toxic fumes issue Delta Air Lines said it is replacing auxiliary power units (APUs), a type of engine, on its Airbus aircraft to address toxic fume incidents that can harm airline crew and passengers. The airline confirmed to CBS News Thursday that its replacing engines on more than 300 of its A320s in an initiative that began in 2022. The airline did not comment on the cost of the undertaking, which is more than 90% complete. Delta is replacing engines that can cause toxic fumes to leak into the aircraft cabin's air supply, posing health and safety risks to crew members and passengers. Flight attendants have been calling attention to the issue for years, noting their own experiences with the dangerous toxins. "I felt like I might die, and I thought, you know, I wonder what my mom is going to think — I went to work, and you know, I may not make it," flight attendant Vanessa Woods told CBS News in 2016 of breathing in engine fumes on a flight she was crewing. The leakage of fumes most commonly occurs on the Airbus A320 family of narrowbody jets, a recent Wall Street Journal investigation found. Breathing in the toxic engine emissions can lead to general nervous system problems, Dr. Robert Harrison, an occupational medicine specialist at the University of California San Francisco who has treated more than 100 flight crew members for exposure to fumes, told CBS News. Delta on Thursday said it is also exploring new synthetic turbine oils from different manufacturers for its engines. Reached for comment on the issue, United CEO Scott Kirby recently told CBS News that it is a matter he has "personally been focused on for over a decade." United has a "proactive maintenance program" that tracks the plane engine's oil consumption and oil pressure, and proactively replaces APU seals to prevent oil leaks and oil burns that would lead to fumes entering airplane cabins, Kirby said. The issue, he added, isn't a concern on newer airplanes, like Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which have a different design. Barry Biffle, CEO of Frontier Airlines, which operates an Airbus fleet, said that while the company is following the toxic fume issue, incidents occur very rarely. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/delta-engines-airbus-toxic-fumes/ Leaked Files Reveal How Sanctions Are Grounding Russia’s Jet Industry Leaked internal records from Russian enterprises show that sanctions are severely undermining the country’s aircraft production capacity, according to the volunteer intelligence community InformNapalm on September 24. The leaked files include a “Diagnostics Report on Gear-Shaping Equipment,” dated September 24, 2024, from a Russian company working with JSC Yakovlev, part of the United Aircraft Corporation. Yakovlev, formerly known as Irkut until July 2023, is responsible for the design of the MC-21 and SJ-100 aircraft. Both projects have been promoted by the Kremlin as symbols of technological independence following sanctions imposed by the European Union, the United States, and other partners. The documents, however, point to ongoing reliance on outdated machinery and failed attempts to replace Western technology. Gear-shaping machines are essential for producing gear systems used in aircraft engines and transmissions. The diagnostic report found that most of the equipment in use dates back to 1972 Soviet production and has exceeded its service life. Attempts to acquire modern German machines, including MHD systems, have been blocked by sanctions. The report also notes that alternative supplies from China and CIS states failed to meet quality standards. Russian-made substitutes from Saratov were described as defective, and several imported models such as the Liebherr LS122, ZS-200CNC, and ZS-360CNC were never operational due to malfunctions. “Gear-shaping remains a critical bottleneck in the production of gear systems for the aviation industry,” the report states. Commissioning of new machines has been delayed until between October 2024 and March 2025, creating setbacks for the MC-21 and SJ-100 programs. Factories plan to extend operations to two or three shifts to compensate, though this increases risks of equipment failure and reduced quality. The leaked material underscores the impact of Western restrictions on Russia’s defense sector. Delivery times for advanced machines have stretched beyond 15 months, and financing options have been cut off due to sanctions compliance by banks. Costs for new equipment have also risen sharply. Efforts to produce competitive domestic alternatives have not been successful. According to InformNapalm, these findings demonstrate that sanctions directly undermine Russia’s military-industrial capacity. Despite official claims of self-reliance, Moscow’s aviation projects remain dependent on foreign technologies and constrained by equipment shortages. InformNapalm stated that it will continue releasing further documents from the same dataset to provide transparency on the state of Russia’s defense industry and to challenge official narratives. Earlier, Reuters reported on August 8 that Russia’s aircraft industry delivered just one of 15 planned jets in 2025, as sanctions blocked access to foreign parts and high interest rates stalled investment. Production targets have been repeatedly cut, and serial output of the MC-21, SJ-100, and IL-114 has been postponed until 2026. https://united24media.com/latest-news/leaked-files-reveal-how-sanctions-are-grounding-russias-jet-industry-12042 Nigeria eyes certification of China's C919 jet for local airlines MONTREAL Sept 28 (Reuters) - Nigeria's civil aviation authority is looking into certifying China's C919 jet for the country's carriers, its director general told Reuters, as Nigerian airlines take on more aircraft and as relations warm with Beijing. Chinese planemaker COMAC is producing the narrow-body C919 to compete with leading Western planemakers Airbus (AIR.PA), opens new tab and Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab, and has held several talks with Nigeria over the aircraft. However, state-owned COMAC, which hopes to access the wider African market, faces challenges. Its two plane models lack benchmark certifications from Western regulators, and it is falling behind, opens new tab on delivery targets. The U.S. this year temporarily halted exports of the CFM (GE.N), opens new tab, (SAF.PA), opens new tab engines it uses on the C919 due to trade conflicts. Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation with 230 million people, has potential as a growing aviation market. The civil aviation authority's director general, Capt. Chris Ona Najomo, told Reuters the agency is considering the months-long certification process for the jet to operate on domestic routes, noting the absence of validation from Western regulators. "We're looking at the certification of the airplane. First of all, that is where we have to start," Najomo said on the sidelines of the U.N. aviation agency's assembly in Montreal. Najomo said COMAC officials had offered maintenance and training support for any planes operated by Nigerian carriers, and was exploring so-called dry lease arrangements, which involve leasing aircraft without crew. "We just told them that if they can make sure they facilitate a good dry lease arrangement, it's better," Najomo said. Abdullahi Ahmed, CEO of Nigerian airline NG Eagle, expressed interest in expanding his fleet beyond its current three jets and said he would consider COMAC planes if certified and accompanied by maintenance and training support. Nigeria's improved Aviation Working Group rating reflects stronger compliance with the Cape Town Convention, a treaty that simplifies leasing aviation equipment. Najomo said this development was boosting confidence among lessors, enabling the country's 13 airlines to access newer planes on the leasing market. While air travel remains costly for many Nigerians, average real airfare fell 43.6% between 2011 and 2023, according to data from IATA. Currently, the C919 is only operated by Chinese airlines. COMAC's smaller C909 regional jet is also flown by three airlines in Southeast Asia. https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/nigeria-eyes-certification-chinas-c919-jet-local-airlines-2025-09-28/ Woman Faces 20 Years After Alleged Outburst on Flight Led to Her Being Duct-Taped to Seat A woman’s alleged outburst aboard an American Airlines flight led her to being duct-taped to her seat, according to reports. Ketty J. Dilone of Las Vegas was restrained with flex-cuffs and duct tape after she began walking the aisle, yelling and recording other passengers and crew members, according to an FBI affidavit reviewed by the Sacramento Bee. The incident took place on a connecting flight from Charlotte, North Carolina on September 16, after the plane had originally departed from Punta Cana. Dilone’s behavior supposedly escalated after she was told to stop filming. Per the affidavit, the woman then threatened the flight crew, allegedly yelling, 'I will kill you (expletive)!" and became physically aggressive. The document claimed that she "made aggressive postures towards the flight attendants" before being physically restrained. Even after being restrained, Dilone reportedly kicked a flight attendant twice, causing the crew member to fall. The affidavit notes that the crew used duct tape to secure her torso to the seat and later taped her legs for the safety of others. Volunteer passengers sat beside her for the remainder of the flight while flight attendants stood nearby to monitor her, which the affidavit says "prevented them from performing their duties of preparing and securing the aircraft for landing." Dilone was arrested when the plane landed at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas and is now facing federal charges of interfering with a flight crew and assault "by striking, beating, or wounding," according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Nevada. At her initial court appearance on September 17, Dilone appeared "fully restrained," per court records reviewed by Sacramento Bee. The newspaper also reported that she experienced a medical episode after the hearing was adjourned and was hospitalized. She is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on October 1. If found guilty, she could face up to 20 years in prison, according to the National Post. "The safety of our customers and team members is our highest priority," said American Airlines in a statement. "We take this matter very seriously and are working closely with law enforcement on its investigation." https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/articles/woman-faces-20-years-alleged-213330415.html 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 .
