The aircraft landed back on Amsterdam's runway 18C about 70 minutes later. A replacement Embraer ERJ-195 registration PH-NXI reached Bilbao with a delay of about 4.5 hours. https://avherald.com/h?article=530924f5&opt=0 Incident: Delta A339 near Detroit on Nov 30th 2025, engine shut down in flight A Delta Airlines Airbus A330-900, registration N411DX performing flight DL-162 from Minneapolis,MN (USA) to Amsterdam (Netherlands), was enroute at FL370 about 260nm north of Detroit,MI (USA) in Canadian Airspace when the crew needed to shut the right hand engine (Trent 7000) down. The crew decided to divert to Detroit for a safe landing on runway 04R about 50 minutes later. A replacement Airbus A330-300 registration N831NW reached Amsterdam with a delay of about 24 hours. The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground in Detroit about 44 hours after landing. https://avherald.com/h?article=530922f6&opt=0 Plane Passenger Throws Temper Allegedly Demanding to Sit with His Girlfriend. Then Flight Makes a U-Turn Video taken on board shows police boarding the aircraft to remove the disruptive man A Dec. 1 flight was forced to make an emergency landing due to one passenger's disruptive behavior According to the Associated Press, a traveler allegedly demanded to sit next to his girlfriend. When his requested was refused, the situation escalated Eyewitness say the arguing continued for two hours after takeoff from Tokyo's Narita airport On Monday evening, a plane passenger reportedly demanded that he sit next to his girlfriend on his flight. After flight crews refused his request, the passenger allegedly kept arguing, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing. The incident occurred on Spring Airlines Japan flight IJ005, which was scheduled to take customers from Narita International Airport in Japan to Shanghai Pudong International Airport on Dec. 1. According to the Associated Press, the man allegedly complained to flight crews about his seat during boarding. He reportedly wanted to change seats with the passenger seated next to his partner, who refused the swap. Flight attendants then explained he would have to sit in his assigned seat for the duration of the approximately 3 hours light. The outlet reported the passenger’s volatile behavior continued after the aircraft’s 7 p.m. departure. Eyewitnesses say the argument continued for almost two hours after takeoff. The pilots of the aircraft ultimately decided to make an emergency landing to address the situation. They performed a U-turn and made the two hour trip back to Narita. “There was no prior announcement or discussion about the situation. We only heard an announcement stating that the flight was turning back due to a person obstructing the crew,” one of the passengers told the AP. They added: “At that point, we were only 30 minutes away from landing in Shanghai. It was very frustrating. He could have settled down so everybody could reach their destination.” A video taken on board the plane by a fellow traveler shows a confrontation between cabin crew and the disruptive passenger. One clip shows police boarding the aircraft after landing back in Narita. According to the AP, the plane made its emergency landing around 11 p.m. local time. Police subsequently boarded and removed the man from his seat. Though, it is unclear whether he will face any charges. Fellow passengers on board were reportedly left stranded overnight until a replacement flight was offered at 10 a.m. the following day. The AP says some travelers slept on benches and chairs around the airport.

While progress has accelerated, the carrier said more than a dozen aircraft remained out of service as of Sunday afternoon. In an internal memo to employees, Chief Operating Officer Warren Christie said that "as of 1230ET [Sunday], we still had about 50 of the 150 affected aircraft out of service." Christie noted that the remaining out-of-service aircraft required the airline to increase cancellations to 160 flights for the day. Christie said JetBlue's system operations team is "working hard to stay ahead of needed cancellations so our crewmembers and customers receive as much notice as possible," adding that the situation "remains fluid," but improves "every time an aircraft is completed and returned to service." He told employees that the company will "never compromise when it comes to safety" and emphasized that "following the FAA's directive precisely before returning any aircraft to service is our top focus." JetBlue expects the majority of affected aircraft to be restored in the near term. According to Christie, the airline anticipates having "approximately 137 of the 150 affected aircraft" completed and returned to service by Monday morning. The carrier also noted that 140 aircraft across its A320, A321, and A220 fleets were not impacted by the directive. A JetBlue spokesperson said the airline is working with Airbus, the FAA, and its maintenance partners as updates continue. "Our teams are doing everything possible to minimize disruptions to crewmembers and customers," the spokesperson said. JetBlue currently expects to cancel approximately 20 flights on Monday, with additional cancellations possible as the remaining aircraft clear the software update. Other U.S. Airlines Have Largely Completed the Work Other U.S. operators of the A320-family have moved through the required updates more quickly. American Airlines said it completed work on nearly all of its roughly 340 affected aircraft over the weekend. Delta reported that all required updates on its A321neo fleet were completed with "no effect on operations." United said only six of its aircraft were impacted and expected limited disruptions. Allegiant and Frontier each reported that only a small number of their aircraft required updates and anticipated minimal operational impact. The regulatory action followed a recent JetBlue A320 incident in which the aircraft experienced an unexpected loss of altitude while operating as Flight 1230 from Cancun to Newark, New Jersey, on Oct. 30. A subsequent investigation identified a malfunction within a flight-control computer system, which regulators later determined could also affect other A320-family aircraft equipped with the same hardware. Airbus issued guidance to operators, and U.S. regulators followed with an emergency airworthiness directive. "Out of a total number of around 6,000 aircraft potentially impacted, the vast majority have now received the necessary modifications," Airbus said in a statement Monday morning. "We are working with our airline customers to support the modification of less than 100 remaining aircraft to ensure they can be returned to service." https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/airbus-woes-continue-jetblue-144423078.html Man attacks TSA, attempts to stab officers at Las Vegas airport, feds say LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A man allegedly fought with TSA officers and tried to stab police officers inside the Las Vegas airport after attempting to board a plane with a woman’s ticket, according to documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained. Jhon Vizcaino Ramirez faces federal charges of interference with security screening personnel and entry by false pretenses to a secure area of any airport, records said. On Nov. 3, Vizcaino Ramirez approached a TSA screening area inside Terminal 1 at Harry Reid International Airport with a bandana covering half his face, documents said. Vizcaino Ramirez then presented the TSA officer with a boarding pass to Rochester, New York, with a woman’s name. The TSA officer called for a supervisor, and another TSA officer began translating requests in Spanish. An agent asked Vizcaino Ramirez for his passport, which Vizcaino Ramirez “refused” to hand over, documents said. Vizcaino Ramirez later requested that the TSA officer return the ticket, but when the agent denied him, Vizcaino Ramirez “struck [the officer] on the right side of his head and took [the officer’s] glasses off his face,” documents said. TSA officers requested assistance from Las Vegas Metro police officers, who patrol the terminals. While officers tried to detain Vizcaino Ramirez, he allegedly fought with them, “trying to hit and kick them,” documents said. “At one point, Vizcaino Ramirez got a hold of an officer’s pen and tried to stab the LVMPD officers with it,” documents said. “Vizcaino Ramirez kicked [an officer] twice, once in the head and once in the arm. Vizcaino Ramirez kicked [a TSA officer] in the face.” The injuries to one officer were severe enough that he “sought medical attention,” documents said. Federal prosecutors filed their case on Nov. 20. Records indicate he has remained in custody at the Clark County Detention Center since his arrest. Metro police initially arrested Vizcaino Ramirez on state charges, including resisting a public officer and battery by a prisoner, records said. A judge denied setting bail, and county prosecutors closed the case on Nov. 24, likely due to the federal charges. During a hearing in federal court on Nov. 24, Magistrate Judge Elayna Youchah ordered Vizcaino Ramirez detained. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Dec. 8. https://www.8newsnow.com/investigators/man-attacks-tsa-attempts-to-stab-officers-at-las-vegas-airport-feds-say/ Boeing expects higher aircraft deliveries in 2026 as stored jets finally run dry Boeing’s new CFO says the company has now exhausted its stock of stored aircraft and expects higher deliveries and stronger cash flow in 2026 as production accelerates. Boeing’s new chief financial officer Jay Malave has signalled that the manufacturer expects to deliver more commercial aircraft next year, helped by higher output and the end of the post-crisis “inventory flush”. Speaking at the UBS Global Industrials and Transportation Conference, Malave said Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) expects deliveries to grow in 2026, which will be a “large driver of positive cash flow”. Embedded in that, he added, is the benefit of burning down excess inventory and normalising the cash collection cycle. Crucially, he confirmed that Boeing has now cleared its stockpile of “deliverable” aircraft, so now future delivery growth will come from higher production rather than drawing on stored jets. Boeing was recently cleared to up its rate of 737 production to 42 aircraft a month after almost two years of rate limitations imposed by the FAA. Read more: Aircraft deliveries at highest level for 7 years Read more: Aircraft deliveries at highest level for 7 years Faster deliveries are key to better cash flow at Boeing Malave noted a double driver for increasing the delivery rates at Boeing Commercial Airplanes. First, Boeing is unable to collect full payment for aircraft until they are delivered, elongating the cash cycle. Second, Boeing is paying penalties on late-delivered aircraft, reducing the potential for profit per airframe. With higher delivery rates, Malave said, working capital turns faster, the holding period for inventory comes down, and unit costs improve, giving cash margins “a pretty significant boost between now and the end of the decade”. Of course, higher delivery rates require higher production output, and question marks remain over the state of the supply chain and whether it’s ready to meet Boeing’s goals. But the CFO believe these things will iron out ‘naturally’ and won’t affect its position over the coming years. “We absolutely expect to grow year over year in cash flow,” Malave stated. “What we expect is in low single digits [billions] in terms of positive free cash flow, which I think is pretty substantial growth year over year.” DOJ payment slips into 2026 making 2025 healthier In Boeing’s Q3 earnings, it disclosed an almost $5bn hit from the delayed deliveries of the 777X. As such, it was forecast to run to a substantial loss by the end of 2025, despite an uptick in revenue. Weighing on its 2025 finances is also a fine payable to the Department of Justice in return for non-prosecution over the 737 MAX crashes. Under the agreement, Boeing will pay $444.5 million into a fund for the families of the 737 MAX crash victims, plus a $243.6 million fine. However, Malave says that fine has slipped into 2026, which could see it in a better position come the end of 2025. “Where I would expect us to be now in 2025 is closer to about $2 billion of cash outflow,” he said. “Yes, that’s a headwind now in 2026 of in the range of $700 million, but even with that, I expect free cash flow to grow.” https://aerospaceglobalnews.com/news/boeing-deliveries-2026-stored-aircraft/ AOG Technics director guilty over fake aircraft parts scam that grounded jets The director of AOG Technics, who was at the center of a fake aircraft parts scam that left airlines grounding affected planes, has pleaded guilty in court to “operating his company for a fraudulent purpose”. Jose Alejandro Zamora Yrala appeared at Southwark Crown Court in London on December 1, 2025, ahead of his planed trial after the UK’s Serious Fraud Office launched an investigation in October 2023. The Serious Fraud Office said that between 2019 and 2023, Zamora Yrala “defrauded customers by falsifying documentation that related to the origin and status of CFM56 engine parts”. CFM International’s CFM56 engines are used to power Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 planes and are operated widely by airlines. AOG Technic’s customers included airlines, maintenance repair operators and engine parts suppliers. In October 2023, CFM International said the company had identified 126 engines suspected of being fitted with falsely documented parts. At the time it was understood that the “majority of the parts involved are non-serialized items like bolts, nuts, washers, dampers, seals and bushings,” with CFM unaware of any fraudulent documentation associated with life-limited parts. Aircraft were grounded while airlines conducted checks on planes that may be affected after regulators including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) advised owners, operators, maintenance organizations, and distributors to inspect their records. “Planes in the UK and across the world were grounded in 2023 after the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority, the United States’ FAA and EASA issued safety alerts to airlines that may have bought or installed AOG’s parts,” said a spokesperson for the Serious Fraud Office. Airlines caught up in the scandal included Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, TAP, Ryanair, WestJet and Virgin Australia. The Serious Fraud Office has been working with Portuguese authorities into the supply of suspected fraudulent safety certifications and parts. The Portuguese investigation remains ongoing. “This significant and audacious fraud threatened trust in the aviation industry and risked public safety on a global scale. I’m extremely proud that we’ve acted swiftly to secure this conviction and wish to thank law enforcement partners in Portugal for their speedy and critical assistance,” Emma Luxton, Director of Operations at the Serious Fraud Office. On December 6, 2023, the Serious Fraud Office announced it has arrested an individual during a dawn raid at a property after launching a criminal investigation into AOG Technics. Zamora Yrala will appear at Southwark Crown Court on February 23, 2026, for sentencing. https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/aog-technics-director-guilty-fake-aircraft-parts-scam Wizz Air Needs Fleet Of 500 Aircraft To Stay ‘Relevant,’ CEO Says BUDAPEST, Hungary—European ULCC Wizz Air says that a fleet of 500 aircraft is necessary to be relevant in the aviation business. Wizz Air took delivery of its 250th aircraft, an Airbus A321neo, on Nov. 28. “This aircraft is very important. It is a strategic anchor to the business model what we are implementing,” Wizz Air CEO József Váradi told Aviation Week on the sidelines of the delivery event in Budapest, Nov. 28. “The A321neo delivers the lowest economics as well as the most enhanced environment. We see that being low-cost and environmentally responsible are a strategic matter for the future.” “We have another 300 aircraft to be taken delivery ... looking ahead for the next 10 years or so, we need to be a 500-aircraft airline to stay relevant to the market, to stay relevant to the business,” Váradi said, adding that the airline business is becoming a business of scale. Wizz Air is the largest A321neo operator worldwide. Twenty percent of the Wizz Air fleet is owned; 80% is on operating lease. “I think we are going be moving it toward more owned aircraft. When you own an aircraft, you can get better economics in terms of profit. But the leasing is also very good, it is very efficient,” he said. Váradi said that Wizz Air is also doing sale-and-leasebacks. “That’s why we do aircraft on operational leases. We have a combination of ownership and sale and leaseback,” he said. In November, Wizz Air outlined aircraft delivery changes that involved deferring 88 A321neos into the early 2030s and converting 36 A321XLRs to A321neos. That leaves the carrier with a total of only 11 A321XLRs, of which five have been delivered. Asked if Wizz Air will keep the A321XLRs, Váradi said that the ULCC has a number of routes where it sees significant commercial and financial opportunities. “[That] priority is not as big of an opportunity as we saw it before,” he said. The GTF Challenge Speaking about the Pratt & Whitney GTF PW1100G engine challenges and how long this issue will remain, Váradi said he doesn’t know how long it will continue. “There is a new technology is coming over [GTF Advantage engine],” he said. “I think this is trying to fix all the childhood diseases, and we are very hopeful. The early indications we are getting is it [the GTF Advantage engine] is going to do the job,” he said. However, engine challenges are widespread, not only from Pratt, Váradi added. “I know CFM operators grounding aircraft to due unintended engine removals. I don’t think it is down to one player. It is the whole industry; it is the whole supply chain.” “Wizz Air is the largest neo operator in Europe and is exclusively powered by Pratt & Whitney,” a Pratt spokesperson told Aviation Week. “We continue to work closely with our customers to support their fleets. We are already implementing durability upgrades to the PW1100G-JM engine, and next year the GTF Advantage engine will enter service and offer up to two times longer time on wing,” the spokesperson said. At the same time, Pratt expects to deliver about 30% higher MRO output this year, which is key to continuing to improve AOG (aircraft on ground) levels. “Now we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I believe in the next two years it can be fully lifted, fully recovered,” Váradi said. “I think at that time, when all of our aircraft are flying, that is when you’ll see the full potential of Wizz Air.” https://aviationweek.com/air-transport/airlines-lessors/wizz-air-needs-fleet-500-aircraft-stay-relevant-ceo-says Aer Lingus pilot feared ‘retribution’ from senior airline personnel, WRC hears Pilot was stripped of command duties after his aircraft failed to pick up a navigation beacon on approach to Dublin Airport in 2023 An Aer Lingus pilot stripped of command duties after his aircraft failed to pick up a navigation beacon on approach to Dublin Airport in 2023 wrote that he delayed reporting the incident because he feared “retribution” from senior personnel, a tribunal has been told. Declan McCabe (53), a pilot at the airline since 1999, is pursuing complaints under the Protected Disclosures Act 2014, the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the Payment of Wages Act 1997 against Aer Lingus Ltd, following his demotion from captain on foot of a disciplinary process The complaints are denied by the airline. Giving evidence on Tuesday, Mr McCabe said that on June 8th, 2023, he and his first officer were flying an Airbus A320neo jet with 154 passengers and cabin crew on board into Dublin Airport when the aircraft “didn’t capture” a radio beacon giving the approach vector to their assigned runway. “The weather was clear; we could see the runway. If it was in cloud, you might consider doing a missed approach, come back around and complete the approach again,” he said. After passing the expected beacon line, he turned the plane back to intercept the beacon, got the signal, and landed safely, he said. Asked why he did not report the incident, he said the Aer Lingus manual only made it mandatory to report a “false localiser capture”, which might occur if the radio signal was distorted and falsely indicated the wrong vector, he said. “What I did on the day was what I was supposed to do, and that’s written in the manual,” he said. “In my judgment, there was no area where safety was compromised,” he said. The tribunal heard that Capt Colm Wynne, a senior managing pilot at the airline, made contact with Mr McCabe by email eight days later, attaching correspondence from the State air traffic agency, Air Nav Ireland, on the beacon incident, and asking Mr McCabe to “advise me so I can respond”. Mr McCabe said he wrote directly to Air Nav Ireland and told the hearing he did not include Capt Wynne in his reply – only later filing a safety report at the request of another manager. Mr McCabe agreed when questioned by his barrister, David Byrnes, who appeared instructed by Setanta Solicitors, that there was “no love lost” between himself and Capt Wynne. The complainant said Capt Wynne had chaired a disciplinary process which led to an “outrageous” finding that he had shown “total disregard” for the airline’s commercial interests by reporting that he was too fatigued to fly on a date in July 2011, and recommended demotion. When Mr McCabe’s filed the internal report on the 2023 incident, he wrote: “The report was delayed because I fear further retribution from certain flight operations personnel.” Tom Mallon, appearing for the airline instructed by Katie Rooney of Arthur Cox, said: “Aer Lingus makes no apologies whatsoever for putting safety first, and that Mr McCabe was demoted on foot of a full internal process. Adjudicator John Harraghy has adjourned the matter overnight. The case is scheduled to continue on Wednesday and for three more days next week. https://www.irishtimes.com/business/work/2025/12/02/aer-lingus-pilot-feared-retribution-from-senior-airline-personnel-wrc-hears/ UPRTA International to Host “2025 UPRT Safety Summit for Pilots Worldwide” Aviation leaders unite to eliminate the Loss of Control In-Flight threat The Upset Prevention and Recovery Training Association, International (UPRTA International), is proud to announce its annual UPRT Safety Summit for Pilots Worldwide, taking place December 17, 2025.
