Four electrical arc-blast incidents damaged parts of the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) People Mover’s power rail and guideway in September, raising fresh questions about the safety and readiness of the long-delayed transportation project. Newly released video obtained by FOX 11 Los Angeles shows a large electrical flash erupting along the tracks shortly after a […]

Flight attendants often work multiple legs or sectors in a day, which may be returning to base, before a layover, or as part of a multi-leg trip. Long-haul flight attendants generally only work on one sector per day due to much longer flights, whereas those who are scheduled for shorter flights will work anywhere between […]

Breeze Airways is set to add more than 30 new routes across the United States and internationally as the airline continues to expand its reach and provide more nonstop flights between smaller markets. The airline’s approach is to provide easy, low-cost flights between smaller cities and avoid large airport hubs.

Allegiant Air’s scheduled operations are exclusively domestic. Between November 2026 and next May, Cirium Diio data shows that the ultra-low-cost carrier’s airframes will be seen in 123 airports across the country, with many, of course, being secondary or tiny. Orlando Sanford will have the most flights, followed by Tampa St. Pete and Punta Gorda.

The world’s largest low-cost carrier (or hybrid carrier, as many would argue) withdrew from the world’s busiest airport for by flights (as opposed to passenger numbers) this year. Southwest Airlines said goodbye to Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), as it shifted its focus to a more consolidated operation in the Windy City, with all flights […]

In January, UPS Airlines announced that it would retire its entire fleet of 27 McDonnell Douglas MD-11 widebody cargo jets to be replaced by the newer Boeing 767-300F. The decision was made in the aftermath of the crash at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) in November 2025 that took the lives of the air […]

The operational economics of ultra-long-haul commercial aviation have historically been plagued by severe financial risks and engineering bottlenecks. Deploying widebody aircraft on non-stop routes spanning vast oceanic distances meant that an often unprofitable balance between fuel capacity and passenger payload had to be made. This guide examines the fascinating structural and mechanical evolution of the […]

Did you know that the two aviators sitting at the primary controls of a Boeing 777-300ER may not be the same crew members who performed the takeoff hours earlier? Suspended directly above paying passengers in the forward cabin ceiling, off-duty pilots sleep in complete darkness inside an isolated loft module. This hidden space lets commercial […]

Alaska Airlines has shaved seven nonstop routes from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in the last two years, as the airline continues to adjust its network and maintain its presence as one of the largest airlines on the US West Coast.

United Airlines has built much of its domestic operation around Boeing narrowbodies, operating hundreds of 737s alongside its long-serving 757 fleet. But the aircraft the airline says earns its highest customer satisfaction scores is an Airbus: the A321neo, a relatively new addition to United’s fleet that is winning over passengers’ hearts despite a cabin configuration […]
