Wizz Air has quietly removed its longest scheduled flights from sale, ending what had been one of Europe’s most closely watched ultra-low-cost long-haul experiments. The carrier has removed both London Gatwick Airport (LGW) – Jeddah Airport (JED) and London Gatwick – Medina (MED) from its booking system, and the routes no longer appear on the […]
Passenger airlines are all about the latest and greatest in technology, whereas cargo operators are far more for tried-and-tested aircraft.

According to present scheduling data made available by Cirium, an aviation analytics company, the very longest of these in 2026 clocks in at a top scheduled end-to-end block time of 29 hours, with all […]

The sudden announcement that an aircraft is changing course turns travel plans upside down, often leaving travelers wondering what could possibly justify landing in an airport nowhere near the intended destination. Behind these sudden […]
The transatlantic market between North America and Europe has long been one of the most lucrative areas of the commercial aviation sector. However, you’d be wrong if you thought that this part of the airline industry consisted entirely of huge widebody jets flying between intercontinental mega hubs. While narrowbodies are becoming more common here, one […]
