The aircraft is still on the ground in Cologne about 21 hours after landing. https://avherald.com/h?article=53b930e6&opt=0 Incident: KLM Cityhopper E175 at Amsterdam on Jul 7th 2026, gear disagrees A KLM Cityhopper Embraer ERJ-175, registration PH-EXN performing flight KL-1641 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Turin (Italy), was climbing out of Amsterdam's runway 36C whhen the crew levelled off at FL060 advising ATC they had a gear lever disagree, they believed the gear was down but the lever was up. The aircraft returned to Amsterdam for a safe landing on runway 36R about 25 minutes after departure. The occurrence aircraft returned to service the following morning about 11 hours after landing back. https://avherald.com/h?article=53b92e2e&opt=0 Incident: Cathay A35K over Romania on Jul 4th 2026, loss of communication prompts intercept A Cathay Pacific Airbus A350-1000, registration B-LXA performing flight CX-257 from Hong Kong (China) to London Heathrow,EN (UK), was enroute at FL380 over Romania when radio contact with Air Traffic Control was lost prompting NATO fighter jets to be dispatched to intercept the airliner over Hungary. Radio contact was re-established, the fighter jets returned to their bases and the A350 continued to London for a safe landing. Hungary's Defense Minister reported two fighter jets intercepted a A350 on July 4th 2026 after the crew failed to contact Romanian Air Traffic Control. The fighter jets issued a visual warning as the A350 crossed into Hungarian Airspace, radio contact was re-established. The airline confirmed flight CX-257 temporarily lost radio contact with ATC. https://avherald.com/h?article=53b92c8d&opt=0 Man boards United flight to Newark. It ends up being the most chaotic after two passengers start fighting mid-air A recent Phoenix-to-Newark United flight turned into a nightmare when a woman allegedly told a fellow passenger his late mother was dead because of him. TikTok user Liam (@liam_coach) recorded the unbelievably uncomfortable exchange and posted the fallout. Liam's clip, captioned as a sarcastic thank you to United Airlines, opens mid-argument, and it's clear he's trying to get what he can before the altercation ends. A man tells a woman to "act your age, calm down." She fires back, "So is your mother." Another man in the row, seated with his partner, says quietly, "Rest in peace to her." That's when the woman detonates the moment: "That's right, that's why she's not here, cuz of you." A third voice cuts in, saying, "Honey, that's too deep," but it's already done. The grieving man's partner says she should smack her for that. The woman dares her: "Go right ahead, come get me, come on." From there, according to the video, it spirals. "You're disrespecting us," the woman insists, apparently reversing the charge. "Get off the plane, you're losers, your whole family is losers." A bystander claims not to have heard anything, which prompts the grieving man's partner to press others, saying, "You heard it, right?" She then tries to climb over her seat. "Let me out, let me out," she says, before promising, "I'm gonna make the biggest complaint ever. She wished his mother dead, and she is dead, that is so disrespectful. I am going to punch her face through the window." The clip ends with her repeating, "I wanna leave, I want to leave." It's unclear from the video what sparked the initial exchange, whether any party was removed at the gate, or whether the United crew intervened beyond what's visible. Let's see what the people had to say. "This can happen on any flight" Verbal blowups at 30,000 feet aren't rare. They're a documented category of in-air disturbances. In 2024, airlines reported more than 1,240 cases of unruly passengers. The Federal Aviation Authority has now referred more than 310 of the most serious cases to the FBI since late 2021, per Newsweek's reporting on a separate United diversion. Escalation, once it starts, tends to compound. On one United flight last year, the incident kicked off when a man was having a loud argument with his girlfriend before he turned on the crew, CBS News reported. He was restrained, the flight was diverted, and he later pleaded guilty to interfering with a flight crew. Given how common such incidents are, it's arguably unsurprising that people weren't horrified so much as entertained by the family drama that unfolded on Liam's United flight. Another mused, " I wonder how much the no-fly list has grown in the past decade alone." A third joked, "Spirit Airlines was an integral part of the airline ecosystem; now we lost them and this can happen on any flight." The Big Lead reached out to United Airlines via email and to Liam via TikTok comment and message for more information. https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/man-boards-united-flight-newark-220000071.html Pakistani rescuers battle rough seas on 2nd day of search for cargo plane crew Officials say Pakistan Navy search and rescue teams are battling rough seas as they try to find the five-member crew of a cargo plane that crashed into the Arabian Sea ISLAMABAD -- Pakistan Navy search and rescue teams battled rough seas Thursday as the search for the five-member crew of a cargo plane that crashed into the Arabian Sea entered its second day, officials said. Wreckage was recovered Wednesday, with no sign of the missing crew members. The aircraft, operated by private carrier K2 Airways, reported a malfunction in its navigation system before losing radio and radar contact late Tuesday, according to the Pakistan Airports Authority. Since then, ships and aircraft have continued to comb waters nearly 300 kilometers (180 miles) southwest of Karachi, where the plane disappeared from radar while approaching Pakistan’s largest city from Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Two officials familiar with the ongoing search and rescue operations told The Associated Press that the aircraft’s main fuselage and the five crew members remain missing. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media on the record. They said the search was again proving difficult because of rough seas. On Wednesday, the Pakistan Airports Authority said that Navy ships and the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency located and recovered wreckage about 12 hours after the aircraft disappeared. The debris was recovered about 100 kilometers (60 miles) off Ormara, a coastal town on Pakistan’s southwestern Makran coast in Balochistan province. The authority also posted photographs on X showing search crews recovering pieces of the wreckage from the sea. Officials said the debris was scattered across a wide area, with strong winds, rough seas and shifting ocean currents carrying floating wreckage away from the crash site, complicating efforts to locate the missing crew. Retired Rear Adm. Faisal Shah said that the search for the main wreckage could take months or even years because the aircraft is believed to have crashed in waters about 3,000 meters (9,800 feet) deep, requiring specialized equipment. He said recovering floating debris does not necessarily identify the exact crash site because wind, waves and ocean currents can carry wreckage over long distances. He referred to challenges illustrated by the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which disappeared in 2014 and has never been conclusively located despite years of multinational search efforts. K2 Airways identified the missing crew as Capt. Muhammad Rizwan Idris, First Officer Faisal Jatoi, flight engineers Muhammad Hamid and Muhammad Arif Siddiqui, and aircraft loader Muhammad Taufiq Khan and their families have continued to pray for a miracle as rescuers search for the missing crew in the Arabian Sea. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed authorities to use all available resources in the search and expressed sympathy with the families of the missing crew. The Pakistan Airports Authority said radar data indicated the aircraft made a sharp change in heading and rapidly descended before radar and radio contact were lost at about 9:21 p.m. Tuesday, about 287 kilometers (178 miles) west of Karachi. Pakistan has experienced several fatal air crashes in recent decades. In May 2020, a Pakistan International Airlines flight carrying 99 people crashed into a densely populated neighborhood near the Karachi airport while attempting to land. All but two of the 99 people on board were killed. A government investigation later concluded that human error by the pilots and air traffic controllers caused the crash. https://abcnews.com/International/wireStory/pakistani-rescuers-battle-rough-seas-2nd-day-search-134608919 Chinese officials say Beijing tower plane crash was intentional Chinese officials said a light aircraft that crashed into a high-rise building in Beijing was caused by the pilot’s “personal reasons” and that he wrote before the crash of ending his life. The aircraft struck a high-rise building in Beijing’s Chaoyang district at about 17:55 local time on June 26, 2026, killing the pilot, the sole occupant aboard the aircraft, and injuring 13 people on the ground, according to official statements. The single-engine, two-seat light sport aircraft was identified as an Aurora SA60L. Authorities imposed a nationwide light-aircraft flight ban after the crash. The building was the CITIC Tower, also known as China Zun, Beijing’s tallest skyscraper. Beijing officials identified the pilot only by his surname, Liu, and said he was a 66-year-old Beijing resident who lived alone. Officials said Liu had suffered long-term insomnia and anxiety, and that his diary contained repeated references to suicide. The district said the 13 injured people were not in life-threatening condition after treatment. Videos circulating after the crash showed debris falling near the tower after the aircraft struck the building. https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/beijing-citic-tower-plane-crash-intentional Asia-Pacific regional airlines join forces to strengthen safety The Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) Asia Pacific Turboprop and Regional Jet Safety Exchange conference on June 30th, brought together around 15 regional operators, aircraft manufacturers, and industry partners to share operational safety experiences, emerging trends and best practices. The virtual forum provided a dedicated platform for operators of turboprop and regional jet aircraft to discuss the unique operational challenges associated with regional aviation across the Asia Pacific. Participants exchanged information on safety performance, operational trends, training, human performance and future priorities aimed at further strengthening aviation safety. The meeting was attended by operators from across the region together with aircraft manufacturers ATR, Embraer and De Havilland Aircraft of Canada. ATR and Embraer shared valuable manufacturer perspectives on operational safety and training. Speaking at the event, the Chairman, Captain Somchai Sopanon from Bangkok Airways commented that regional and turboprop operations are essential to the connectivity and economic development of many communities across the Asia Pacific. While these operations often present unique operational challenges, they also provide significant opportunities for collaboration. Today’s Safety Exchange demonstrates the willingness of operators, manufacturers and industry partners to openly share experiences and work collectively to further strengthen aviation safety across the region. A key feature of the meeting was the confidential exchange of aggregated operational safety information submitted by participating operators. The anonymised information exchange enabled participants to identify common operational themes, discuss lessons learned and consider opportunities for collaborative safety improvements without identifying individual airlines. Participants also received updates on two significant regional initiatives led by AAPA. The first highlighted the ongoing development of the Asia Pacific Flight Path Management Manual, led by the Flight Safety Foundation with support from AAPA and regional operators. Participants were encouraged to contribute feedback through the regional survey to help ensure the Manual reflects the operational realities of the Asia Pacific. Participants also received an update on the recently completed Asia Pacific Crew Resource Management (CRM) Manual, a collaborative initiative involving regulators, airlines, an aircraft manufacturer, training organisations and academia. Recently presented to ICAO’s Asia/Pacific Regional Aviation Safety Team (APRAST), the Manual provides practical guidance and aims to further strengthen aviation safety across the Asia Pacific, especially in the area of human factors. The Safety Exchange reaffirmed AAPA’s commitment to providing practical forums that encourage collaboration, facilitate the sharing of operational experience and support continuous improvement in aviation safety throughout the Asia Pacific region. https://www.aviationbusinessnews.com/low-cost/ Revisiting Retirement Age For Air Traffic Controllers FAA’s latest air traffic controller workforce plan outlines the steps the agency is taking to solve the US controller shortage, but the report does not address an issue that has flown under the radar in the debate over staffing air traffic control towers. A 1971 US federal law mandates that controllers retire at age 56—nine years below the pilot mandatory retirement age—even though clear evidence has never been provided to justify pushing out the most experienced controllers at this relatively young age. FAA’s efforts to address the controller shortage focus on streamlining the hiring process to “surge” young controllers into the workforce and incentivizing older controllers eligible to retire with federal benefits to stay on the job longer—but not past age 56. “At this time, the FAA is not considering changes to the mandatory retirement age for air traffic controllers,” the agency said in response to queries from ATW. Many controllers are eligible to retire with federal government benefits as early as age 50, and FAA is offering bonuses to retain these controllers until age 56. “We’re out of the game at 56,” US transportation secretary Sean Duffy said during a press conference in 2025. Duffy explained that he approached the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), the union representing US controllers, in the spring of 2025 to ask what type of financial incentive might persuade controllers in their early 50s to stay on for a year or two more. As a result, FAA and NATCA reached an agreement, announced on May 1, 2025, under which FAA would offer bonuses to retirement-eligible controllers. As of June 1, FAA had spent around $12.3 million on retention bonuses to 560 retirement-eligible controllers. “By encouraging experienced controllers to continue working, the FAA maintains staffing at key facilities while new hires complete training and certification,” the agency said in the new workforce plan, which was released in May. FAA conceded, however, that “despite the increased incentive to delay retirement, most controllers still leave the controller workforce prior to reaching the mandatory age.” NATCA opposes raising the controller mandatory retirement age. WAIVING RETIREMENT Under the 1971 law, the US transportation secretary has the authority to approve retirement waivers for 56-year-old controllers who have demonstrated “exceptional skills and abilities,” allowing them to work until age 61. Duffy told NBC News early last year that he “100%” planned to issue waivers. However, NATCA president Nick Daniels responded to Duffy’s comments by saying he did “not believe this is an effective solution to addressing the chronic air traffic controller staffing crisis,” and it is not clear whether Duffy has used this authority. Despite multiple requests from ATW, FAA would not provide figures on how many waivers the secretary has granted, if any. Waivers were not mentioned in FAA’s new controller workforce plan. Even so, the waiver process is done on a case-by-case basis and requires controllers to request one, hardly a reliable path to boost workforce numbers by retaining the most experienced controllers, who could serve as mentors to new hires. Congress, which set the retirement age at 56 in 1971, could raise the mandatory age with new legislation. NO DATA The law enacted 55 years ago was not based on empirical evidence. Lawmakers were persuaded by Donald Francke, then the executive director of the Air Traffic Control Association (ATCA), who stated in congressional testimony that controllers past the age of 56 could “no longer make the rapid and accurate decisions essential to the preservation of human life.” According to a 2005 FAA report, Francke justified this statement only through “anecdotal reports” from older controllers. “Despite the strong assertion made by [Francke], no testimony or data were presented in 1971 to demonstrate that older controllers were more likely to make errors that might compromise the safety of flight,” the report said. ATCA still stands by its 1971 stance on the mandatory retirement age. “We need to upgrade and modernize our air traffic management system … first before we could consider reexamining workforce rules such as the controller mandatory retirement age,” an ATCA spokesperson told ATW. “The current system, several decades old, places significant cumulative stress on controllers precisely because aging technology demands more from the human operator, not less.” Once new technology is in place, “we’d then need to study the human factors and the impacts a modernized system would have on controllers and then perhaps a discussion about the retirement age could follow,” the ATCA spokesperson added. “That evidence-based conversation is worth having, but it follows modernization, not the other way around.” FAA estimates 717 controllers will retire over the next three years. The unwillingness of FAA, NATCA and ATCA to revisit the age rule begs the question: If the pilot is over the age of 60, how is it reasonable that a younger person in the tower poses a risk? https://aviationweek.com/air-transport/airlines-lessors/revisiting-retirement-age-air-traffic-controllers Changing America’s air traffic control model: Learning from Canada The U.S. air traffic control system is embedded in a tax-funded bureaucracy that is unable to replace ancient facilities and obsolete technology. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) combines two vitally important functions. It is the nationwide aviation safety regulator. It is also the operator of the country’s air traffic control system. According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), aviation safety regulation should be at arm’s length from airports, airlines, private planes, and all other aspects of aviation, including air traffic control. I n its current form, FAA violates that widely followed principle. According to data from the Civil Air Navigation Services Organization (CANSO), 70 countries have separated their air traffic control (ATC) provider from the government’s transport ministry, and another 26 countries receive ATC service from multi-country air navigation service providers (ANSPs). Self-regulation is poor public policy, in addition to violating ICAO principles. Hence, the first step in fixing what is wrong with FAA is to organizationally separate the FAA’s Air Traffic Organization (ATO) from the FAA itself. The ATO could become a separate modal agency as part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or could become an ATC utility, funded by the same kinds of aviation user fees put in place worldwide by ANSPs. A change that large would require Congress to enact enabling legislation. In its current form, embedded within FAA, the Air Traffic Organization is plagued by antiquated facilities, a chronic shortfall of fully qualified air traffic controllers, and aging technology that is mostly far behind the state of the art. A principal reason for those major shortcomings is that FAA depends on Congress for its funding. The majority of this funding is generated by a tax on airline tickets, which yields far less annual revenue than needed to properly fund the Air Traffic Organization. The current ticket tax structure was enacted by Congress in 1970 and was not indexed to inflation. It was intended to be dedicated to airport and air traffic control capital investment, but Congress diverts most of that revenue to pay FAA’s operating costs. In short, the U.S. air traffic control system is embedded in a tax-funded bureaucracy that is unable to replace ancient facilities and obsolete technology. As noted previously, 96 other countries receive air traffic services from self-funded air navigation service providers (ANSPs) that are separate from government transport ministries and regulated for safety by a national government safety regulator. How could the United States draw from this worldwide experience? FAA is facing increasing scrutiny for its outdated facilities and equipment, management practices, and workforce challenges, but remains dependent on uncertain and insufficient annual appropriations by Congress. Canada provides a working model of a successful transition from a tax-funded air traffic control system chronically short of adequate revenue and long-term financing to a sustainable, adaptable non-profit commercial structure capable of continuous modernization. A similar transition in the United States could leverage a proven model for a safe and cost-effective air traffic control system. https://reason.org/policy-brief/changing-americas-air-traffic-control-model-learning-from-canada/ Etihad nearing deal to order 10 Boeing 787 jets, sources say PARIS/DUBAI, July 8 (Reuters) - Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways is nearing a deal ‌to order 10 Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab 787 wide-body jets, with an announcement expected as early as this month's Farnborough Airshow, industry sources said ⁠on Wednesday. Etihad and Boeing declined comment. The sources cautioned that a deal could not be guaranteed as negotiations continue in the run-up to the July 20-24 event in Britain.

Electric hydrogen-powered aircraft were once considered a costly pipe dream, but recent advancements show it’s possible. One of the industry’s biggest aeronautics companies is pushing forward with plans to develop its own next-generation plane engine. On July 7, Airbus confirmed a partnership with Germany’s MTU Aero Engines to design and construct the world’s first aircraft engine powered entirely by electric hydrogen fuel cells. A newly formed joint company aims to begin in 2027, depending on regulatory approvals from the European Union. Both sides previously entered into a memorandum of understanding at last year’s Paris Air Show as part of Airbus’ ZEROe initiative first announced in 2020. “Our ambitious goal is to pave the way for a newly developed, safe, reliable and economical propulsion system that will contribute to climate-neutral aviation,” MTU Aero Engines senior vice president of engineering and technology Stefan Weber said in a statement. The airline industry remains one of the world’s largest transportation contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, and is responsible for releasing toxic amounts of carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides, and contrails into the atmosphere every year. Instead of running on synthetic fuels, hydrogen fuel cell engines rely on lightweight liquid hydrogen that is burned in an electrochemical reaction to power large lithium batteries. The byproduct is primarily water vapor, although more research is needed into understanding how much potential sulfur oxide is released. In an announcement, Airbus said that it “aims to completely eliminate in-flight carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions” in their planes using the hydrogen fuel cell system. If all goes according to plan, the companies hope to finish development on their new airline by 2035. In the meantime, Airbus and MTU are working to create a broader hydrogen aircraft ecosystem along with regulatory frameworks for the operation and certification of future sustainable planes. https://www.popsci.com/technology/hydrogen-fuel-jet-engine-airbus/ Used Business Jet, Turboprop Inventories Continue Slide Available inventories of large business jets are down by 40% YOY Available used business aircraft inventory continued to shrink in June, according to information provider Sandhills Global. Sandhills—whose products include Controller, Charter Hub, Aviation Trader, Aircraft Cost Calculator, and AircraftValuation—released its latest aviation market report, finding the inventory tightening cuts across multiple aircraft segments. On the business jet front, inventory levels fell by 0.15% month over month and 19.21% from June 2025, according to the company. Super-midsize jet inventory did tick up by 8.55% month over month, but large-jet inventory is down by 40% year over year (YOY). Turboprop inventory has trended down for seven months, with June levels dipping by 13.67% YOY. Meanwhile, piston-single inventories increased by 2.48% from May but are still down 14.08% YOY. On the rotorcraft front, Sandhills pointed to Robinson piston availability down by 17.14% YOY in June. “Aircraft inventory remains tight across much of the market, particularly among jets and turboprops, where inventory levels are still trending lower compared to last year,” said Controller sales manager Terrin Mohl. “Used turboprops have seen sustained declines for over six months, while piston-single aircraft inventory has remained relatively stable.” https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2026-07-07/used-bizjet-general-aviation-inventories-continue-slide US airlines’ monthly fuel spending topped $6 billion again in May, up 84% from year ago U.S. airlines spent $6.66 billion on jet fuel in May, the second straight month that fuel costs topped $6 billion, according to government data released Tuesday. The May figure was 84% higher than a year earlier. Airlines spent $6.47 billion on fuel in April, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics said. The higher year-over-year spending has been driven mostly by pricier jet fuel rather than a significant increase in how much of it airlines consumed. U.S. carriers used 1.627 billion gallons in May, down 0.6% from May 2025. Consumption was also slightly lower in April compared with a year earlier. The average price airlines paid for fuel in May was $4.09 per gallon, down slightly from $4.11 in April but 85% higher than the $2.21 they paid in May 2025, the agency said. Airlines worldwide have responded to the jump in fuel prices by raising fares and fees and trimming flight schedules. Fuel is typically one of the industry’s largest operating costs, leaving carriers particularly vulnerable to swings in energy prices. The latest figures show the continued impact of the sharp rise in energy costs after the conflict in the Middle East started this year and disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global crude and fuel supplies. Fuel prices have eased from their spring highs after the U.S. and Iran reached an interim ceasefire agreement, offering some relief to airlines after a costly spring. But the truce remains fragile. Three tankers were struck by projectiles Tuesday in the Strait of Hormuz, according to the British military, and the U.S. revoked a license that had allowed Iranian oil sales under the agreement. Delta Air Lines is set to report its second-quarter financial results on Friday, kicking off a wave of earnings reports from U.S. carriers. Executives are expected to discuss how recent declines in fuel prices could affect the industry’s finances going forward. The average price for a gallon of jet fuel was $2.88 across the key airline hubs of Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and New York on Tuesday, according to the Argus U.S. Jet Fuel Index. The price fell under $3 a gallon June 15 for the first time since early March and has remained below since. https://apnews.com/article/jet-fuel-prices-us-airlines-iran-war-73c67ea89f949b8bdb75cd2ecec52a53 CALENDAR OF EVENTS .
