LONDON- British Airways (BA) flight BA274 from Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) to London Heathrow Airport (LHR) experienced an in-flight technical concern over the North Atlantic. The Airbus A350-1041 was cruising at 39,000 feet when ACARS data referenced a message regarding a fire switch, prompting a descent before the aircraft later climbed back to cruising altitude. British Airways A350 Emergency British Airways BA274, operated by an Airbus A350-1041, was en route from Las Vegas (LAS) to London Heathrow (LHR) when a cockpit message was transmitted via ACARS.

[YONHAP] Starting Monday, passengers flying on Korean airlines will be prohibited from using portable batteries during flights. The sweeping measure comes after a series of fires caused by portable batteries in airplanes, triggering Korean and overseas carriers to tighten safety regulations. T’way Air announced it will prohibit passengers from using portable batteries to charge electronic devices, including mobile phones, beginning Monday. The prohibition also restricts the customers from charging the portable battery itself. Passengers who need to charge their devices must use in-seat power ports. Passengers are advised to fully charge their devices before boarding if their flights do not offer in-seat power ports. Portable batteries are still allowed in carry-on baggage but must either have the terminals sealed with electrical insulation tape or be individually stored in plastic bags or protective pouches. Batteries must be kept visible at all times by placing them in seat pockets, not in overhead bins. With T’way Air’s decision, all 11 Korean airlines operating passenger flights have now banned the in-flight use of portable batteries. Eastar Jet formally introduced the policy this year after a three-month pilot program that began in October last year. Jeju Air joined the measure on Jan. 22. Five airlines under Hanjin Group — Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, Jin Air, Air Busan and Air Seoul — have enforced the ban since Jan. 26. Air Premia and Aero K implemented the rule on Feb. 1, while Parata Air has applied the regulation since launching operations in September last year. An airline staff member attaches a sticker to a portable battery before placing it in a plastic bag at a Korean Air check-in counter at Terminal 2 of Incheon International Airport on March 1, 2025, as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport begins enforcing new safety standards for portable batteries and e-cigarettes. [YONHAP] The decision comes after a string of in-flight fires linked to portable batteries. In January last year, a portable battery caught fire on an Air Busan aircraft preparing for takeoff at Gimhae International Airport in Busan, completely destroying the plane. Several similar incidents have since been reported. In October last year, an Air China flight made an emergency landing at Shanghai Pudong International Airport due to a portable battery-induced fire. On Jan. 8, a portable battery ignited on an Asiana Airlines flight from Incheon to Hong Kong. On Jan. 10, smoke broke out from a portable battery on a T’way Air flight from Sanya, China, to Cheongju, North Chungcheong. Global carriers are also tightening restrictions. Germany's Lufthansa banned the in-flight use of portable batteries starting Jan. 15, while Emirates has enforced a full ban since October last year. Japan is pushing to implement the same measure for flights departing the country starting in April. Some passenger inconvenience is expected. Korean Air and Asiana Airlines are equipped with wired charging ports on most aircraft, but many low-cost carriers operate planes without onboard charging ports. “In-flight portable battery fires can directly lead to major accidents, prompting our strengthened preemptive safety measures,” an airline industry source said. “Passenger cooperation is needed until onboard charging infrastructure is improved." https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2026-02-20/national/socialAffairs/Inflight-battery-ban-extends-to-all-Korean-airlines-starting-Monday/2527642 Congress must act on aviation safety before the next midair collision It has been more than a year since the midair collision over the Potomac, involving Flight 5342 and an Army Black Hawk helicopter. Sixty-seven lives were lost in a flash. For our families, time has not dulled the grief; it has sharpened the urgency. Over the last year, we have done what families should never have to do: learn aviation safety rules, track congressional calendars and press lawmakers to act so no one else is forced into the same devastation. This work should never fall on people who have just buried their loved ones. One clear, bipartisan step is ready now. It is called the ROTOR Act. The ROTOR Act is not symbolic legislation. It is not another study or delay. It directly addresses safety failures that contributed to our accident — failures the National Transportation Safety Board has already identified through its investigative process and formal, board-adopted safety recommendations. These are systemic failures safety experts have warned about for years, in some cases since 2008, long before many Americans reading this were even old enough to fly alone. Investigators found that widely available technology could have warned one aircraft nearly a full minute before impact and the other nearly 50 seconds before the collision, time enough to avoid disaster, yet that technology was not required in the most congested airspace in the country. Former Prince Andrew ARRESTED Over Epstein Files Fallout, King Charles Approves | 12:30 REPORT The Senate understood this urgency and acted accordingly. The ROTOR Act passed unanimously. That level of agreement in today’s political climate is rare, and it matters. When 100 senators agree on a safety fix, the debate over whether the problem is real is over; what remains is the question of why action is still being delayed. We have had constant, constructive engagement from senators on both sides of the aisle, and we are grateful for that leadership. We look forward to similar conversations in the House of Representatives. But we are concerned by the suggestion that Congress must wait for a “perfect” package of reforms before acting. In complex safety systems, delay does not preserve the status quo, it preserves known risks. The ROTOR Act does not claim to solve every problem in the national airspace system. Neither do we. We fully expect Congress to swiftly codify all of the NTSB’s final recommendations, not just those addressed by this bill. We are committed to working with the House on additional legislation to close the remaining safety gaps. Nearly every week, Americans read about dangerously congested airspace, frequent near-misses and widespread vulnerabilities at airports across the country. Recent reporting on dangerously congested airspace around Burbank, California, is one example. When our families read these stories, we do not read them as abstractions. We read them as warnings. In shared airspace, safety is collective. One unequipped aircraft endangers everyone else. We ask the question no family should ever have to ask: When is the next one going to happen? How many more families will be shattered while Congress waits for a perfect solution? We have been told there may be only “one bite at the apple.” We do not accept that. Aviation safety is not a single-bill problem. At a minimum, it requires sustained legislative attention, not an all-or-nothing gamble that leaves preventable hazards unaddressed in the meantime. The ROTOR Act is ready to go now. It addresses real, documented safety gaps, reflects longstanding expert recommendations and has bipartisan support. It relies on technology already widely used by pilots today, often through portable equipment costing a few hundred dollars, and it can be implemented without grounding aviation or delaying further reforms. Passing the ROTOR Act does not end the work; it starts it. What we will not accept is the idea that our loved ones’ legacy, and the safety of the flying public, should be held hostage to legislative delay. The failures that led to our loss were not isolated. They were system-wide, spanning regulators, operators and civilian-military coordination. Those failures demand action. Our families have waited more than a year. The public has waited far longer. Congress should act now. Pass the ROTOR Act and then continue the urgent work of closing the remaining safety gaps — before another family is forced to learn, as we did, that waiting carries consequences measured in lives.

House Transportation & Infrastructure and Armed Services committee leaders released the Airspace Location and Enhanced Risk Transparency (ALERT) Act, which uniquely seeks to implement all of the National Transportation Safety Board’s (NTSB’s) recommendations following the agency‘s investigation into the DCA crash. The bill – from T&I Committee Chair Sam Graves (R-6-MO), Ranking Member Rick Larsen (D-2-WA), along with Armed Services Chair Mike Rogers (R-3-AL) and ranking member Adam Smith (D-9-WA) – provides a comprehensive set of changes and encourages use of the latest technologies to improve U.S. aviation safety. “Safety is business aviation’s highest priority, first and always,” said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. “We commend Committee Chairman Graves, Chairman Rogers, and Ranking Members Larsen and Smith, for joining to introduce this landmark legislation to meaningfully strengthen safety, while providing a path for adoption across the wide diversity of aircraft in the aviation fleet.” In a Feb. 20 letter to the House committee leaders, Bolen said the ALERT Act stands as “an important way to honor the lives of those tragically lost in the DCA collision.” The legislation aims to improve situational awareness in today’s operations, while advancing the development and certification of future safety systems. It would require civil fixed-wing and rotorcraft to be equipped with collision mitigation, avoidance and alerting technologies. In addition, the measure would enhance air traffic control training and procedures, lower the risk profile in mixed-use environments, address deficiencies in the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) safety culture, improve coordination among stakeholders and implement strategically targeted operational safety procedures. The bill specifically focuses on enhancing the safety of the DCA airspace, one of the nation’s busiest, most congested locations. “We look forward to working with House leaders to support swift passage of the ALERT Act so that the bill’s critical safety improvements can be implemented as soon as possible,” Bolen concluded. # # # Founded in 1947 and based in Washington, DC, the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) is the leading organization for companies that rely on general aviation aircraft to help make their businesses more efficient, productive and successful.

(ABC News: Claire Campbell) In Short: David Jansen and Alice Springs copilot Grant Anderson set a new continental record for distance in a single glider flight between two different locations. It was just one of seven continental records Jansen achieved during his Red Centre campaign. What's Next? David Jansen is preparing to compete at the 41st World Gliding Championships in Częstochowa, Poland, later this year. David Jansen has made aviation history in Central Australia, flying more than 1,200 kilometres without an engine in a record-breaking 10-hour glider flight launched from Alice Springs. In early December, the Queensland pilot set up at the Bond Springs Airstrip, operating with the Alice Springs Gliding Club, with one goal in mind — to push the limits of distance flying in a sailplane. On January 24, Jansen teamed up with local pilot Grant Anderson for a 1,266 kilometre journey from Alice Springs to Balaklava in South Australia. The flight set a new continental record for distance in a single glider flight between two different locations. It was just one of 36 aviation records and seven continental records Jansen achieved during his Red Centre campaign. Among the categories broken were "free triangle distance" and "out and return distance", disciplines that test both strategy and endurance in cross-country soaring. "Alice Springs is certainly the place to be for this," Jansen said. "For a start, you've got 2,400 feet above sea level, so there's an advantage there — you're getting a bit higher right from the get-go." Unlike powered aircraft, gliders rely entirely on atmospheric conditions to stay aloft. They are launched by a ground-based winch, which can pull the aircraft up to around 1,500 feet above ground level before release. From there, pilots hunt for thermals — rising columns of warm air generated by the sun heating the arid landscape. These natural elevators can carry a glider to 5,000 feet or more, without a drop of fuel being burned. Two men and a plane David Jansen (left) and his copilot Greg Anderson. (David Jansen) "When you get those extremely hot days and the weather comes across from Western Australia, that's exactly what we're looking for," Jansen said. "When the weather really turns on in Alice Springs, you get cloud bases up around 16,000 feet and above, which really improves performance in terms of cross-country speed." Gliders typically cruise between 100 and 180 kilometres per hour, similar to many small propeller aircraft, though they can reach speeds of up to 300kp/h in optimal conditions. For Jansen, however, speed was secondary. Distance was the goal, he said. This was not his first attempt at rewriting the record books. In 2015, he flew 1,250km, only to discover he had narrowly missed a continental record that was set slightly higher. "So, towards the end of my stay in Alice Springs, the weather set itself up so that we could track out to the north towards Narwietooma, then down to Jamestown — a distance of 1,266km — and then we continued another 100km to Balaklava." While the world record for gliding distance exceeds 3,000km — achieved in wave [wind] conditions in mountainous regions such as Argentina — Jansen said continental records offer a more accessible benchmark. "The world record is set in totally different environments," he said. "This is why we set continental records — so people don't have to go to Argentina to break world records." Footage from glider David Jansen says the weather conditions were perfect. (Supplied: David Jansen) Jansen did not fly alone. He enlisted the help of Alice Springs local Grant Anderson, who received an unexpected invitation. "I just got a random message from him saying he was coming up to set a few records and asking if I wanted to fly with him, Anderson said. "An opportunity like that isn't something you say no to. David is an exceptional pilot." The pair had not previously met but quickly formed a successful partnership in the cockpit, navigating vast stretches of inland Australia using only skill, planning and rising hot air. There is little rest ahead for Jansen. He is part of the Australian team preparing to compete at the 41st World Gliding Championships in Częstochowa, Poland, later this year. His recent achievements in Central Australia have cemented his reputation as one of the country's leading soaring pilots. And beyond the records, he said the Red Centre itself remains a drawcard. Alice Springs is renowned among gliding enthusiasts for its vast open airspace, reliable thermals and some of the clearest flying conditions in the world. "When the weather lines up here," Jansen said, "there's nowhere better." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02-20/glider-pilot-makes-history-central-australia/106364374 Boeing Receives Initial Qualification for 777-9 Training Devices Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) approve simulator devices for airline pilot training Boeing [NYSE: BA] 777-9 flight training simulators are one step closer to conducting regulator-approved pilot training after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued simulator qualification certificates granting initial qualification. "Securing these approvals is an important step as we prepare for the start of flight training," said Capt. Gary Mandy, 777X chief technical pilot. "Pilots will benefit from an immersive training experience that will help ensure our customers' operational readiness for the 777-9." The development of these devices has been a collaborative effort between Boeing and device manufacturer CAE. The 777-9 training devices, located at the Boeing Training Campus in Gatwick, U.K., include a state of the art full-flight simulator and flight training device that replicate the airplane's advanced systems, allowing pilots to gain proficiency in all operational aspects of Boeing's latest widebody. "The qualification of these training devices underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality training solutions that meet the needs of global airline customers and regulators," said Chris Broom, vice president, Commercial Training Solutions, Boeing Global Services. The training devices integrate airplane systems and sophisticated simulation software that model flight dynamics and environmental conditions to provide a realistic training experience for pilots. Following this initial qualification, the training devices will be used by regulatory authorities to validate and approve training courseware before customers commence their pilot training. "This qualification is the result of a multi-year effort between CAE and Boeing's leading experts," said Alexandre Prevost, President – Civil Aviation, CAE. "We're excited to continue this strong collaboration as we deliver full-flight simulators to our mutual customers around the world." The first member of the 777X family, the 777-9 has a flight deck designed to achieve a high level of comfort and commonality with the 777 and 787 Dreamliner while incorporating advancements for flight crews, including: Large-format displays with touchscreen capability. The option for dual head-up displays similar to the 787 Dreamliner. A redesigned pilot seat that offers greater comfort. A unique control and indicator for the 777X folding wingtips that clearly highlights whether wingtips are extended, in motion or folded. Integration of portable tablet based Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) capability. https://www.asdnews.com/news/aerospace/2026/02/19/boeing-receives-initial-qualification-7779-training-devices Spirit Airlines cancels hundreds of flights, leaving travelers stranded Spirit Airlines has canceled over 250 flights since Friday, stranding passengers at South Florida airports due to crew and flight attendant shortages. The airline recalled 500 furloughed staff. Spirit Airlines has canceled over 250 flights since Feb. 13 due to staffing shortages. South Florida airports, particularly Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International, have been heavily affected. The airline has acknowledged the cancellations are tied to a lack of crews and flight attendants. Spirit Airlines is currently in Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the second time in less than a year. Spirit Airlines, struggling to find crews and flight attendants to staff its airplanes, has canceled more than 250 flights since Friday, Feb. 13, with many of them stranding passengers at South Florida airports. Several Palm Beach International Airport flights to Atlantic City and Newark, New Jersey, have been canceled throughout the past seven days, according to the AirAdvisor and Spirit Airlines websites. The airline, currently in Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the second time in less than year, has acknowledged that it has been experiencing flight cancellations and delays tied to staffing shortages. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, where Spirit Airlines is the dominant carrier, has been among the most heavily affected airports in the country. Spirit is not a dominant airline at Palm Beach International but it, too, has been experiencing cancellations as well as significant delays relating to Spirit flights. Also heavily affected is Orlando International Airport. Spirit's ongoing struggles Spirit Airlines recently sold 20 aircraft, most of which had not been in active service. The company's CEO Dave Davis has said the fleet reduction is designed to ensure the long-term success of the company. A Louisiana businessman, John Miller, is looking to put together investors to buy the airline. He sees the low stock price, 3 cents, as an opportunity to acquire and restructure the company. Miller told WAFB-TV in New Orleans that if his investment group purchases Spirit, it would make Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport its hub. Mike McCormick, managing partner of the consulting firm Travel Again Advisory, said the airline's rash of cancellations by themselves doesn’t mean that Spirit cannot survive. "Airlines fail because of prolonged cash flow deterioration, not because of one difficult operational week. The bigger question is whether this is a short-term operational breakdown or part of a broader pattern," he said. "And if reliability concerns begin to affect booking behavior, especially in a highly competitive South Florida market, that becomes more consequential. Spirit’s customers are price-sensitive, but they also have alternatives. If disruptions feel systemic rather than isolated, competitors will benefit." Spirit Airlines tried to merge with Frontier Airlines in 2022 but shareholders rejected Frontier's offer after JetBlue offered a much higher price of $3.8 billion. However, a federal judge blocked the JetBlue merger in January 2024, and Spirit has faced challenges ever since. Spirit’s ultra low cost carrier model — rock bottom base fares paired with fees for nearly everything else — was highly profitable in the 2010s. That model has been hit hard by higher fuel prices, labor costs and maintenance expenses. In addition, legacy airlines have offered lower prices on some of their seats, resulting in a loss of Spirit’s customer base. Get the Travel newsletter in your inbox. Travel industry news and expert reviews on air travel, hotels, cruises, and more. McCormick said ultra-low-cost structure works well when operations are running smoothly, but it also means there’s less cushion in the system when disruptions occur. When something breaks, the ripple effects can compound, he said, which is what occurred at major Florida airports in the past week. "Spirit’s model is incredibly efficient when it’s working — but it doesn’t have much shock absorption when it’s not," McCormick said, noting that the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood airport is particularly exposed because it’s a core base for Spirit. A disruption there doesn’t just affect local travelers. It reverberates through their broader network. "Operational meltdowns don’t kill airlines overnight — but they’re often the first visible sign that the margin for error is disappearing." https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/airline-news/2026/02/19/spirit-airlines-flight-cancellations-florida/88754542007/ Woman arrested for abandoning dog at Las Vegas airport: police LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Las Vegas police arrested a 26-year-old woman after she tied her dog to a baggage sizer at Harry Reid International Airport and abandoned it when she was denied boarding due to a lack of documentation, officers said Wednesday. Dog abandoned at Reid Airport now up for adoption in Las Vegas Police responded to Terminal 3 around 11:30 p.m. on Feb. 2 for a report of a dog left at the JetBlue ticket counter. The dog was tied to a metal carry-on baggage sizer. Germiran Bryson, 26, who police said abandoned the dog, then proceeded toward her departure gate after she was denied a boarding pass for failing to provide the necessary online documentation to travel with the animal as a service dog. Police later located Bryson at Gate D1. Officers said she claimed the dog would return to her since it had a tracking device. Police said Bryson became hostile and resisted officers’ attempts to arrest her. She was arrested and booked on charges of animal abandonment, resisting arrest, and providing a false statement to or obstructing a public officer, police said. In a video released Wednesday, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police were seen speaking to Bryson. “What we’re going to do is we’re going to walk you back to where your dog’s at,” an officer said in the video. “And we are going to issue you a citation.” Airport staff and officers cared for the approximately 2-year-old golden doodle/mini poodle until animal control took custody. Retriever Rescue of Las Vegas took the animal in after Bryson failed to return to claim her dog during the required 10-day hold period. Because the charges she faces are misdemeanors, Bryson was not required to post bond. Her next court date was scheduled for March 31. The dog, now named “Jet Blue,” is in foster care and awaiting adoption. https://www.8newsnow.com/news/local-news/woman-arrested-for-abandoning-dog-at-las-vegas-airport-police/ CALENDAR OF EVENTS .
