The 40 airports selected by the FAA span more than two dozen states and include hubs such as Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles and Charlotte, North Carolina, according to the order. In some metropolitan areas, including New York, Houston, Chicago and Washington, multiple airports will be impacted, while the ripple effects could reach smaller airports as well. Airlines scrambled to adjust their schedules and began canceling flights Thursday in anticipation of the FAA's official order, while travelers with plans for the weekend and beyond waited nervously to learn if their flights would take off as scheduled. More than 810 flights have been called off nationwide, according to FlightAware. Delta Air Lines said it would scratch roughly 170 flights Friday, and American Airlines planned to cut 220 a day through Monday. The FAA said the reductions would start at 4% and ramp up to 10% by Nov. 14. They are to be in effect between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. and impact all commercial airlines. The agency said the cutbacks are necessary to relieve pressure on air traffic controllers who have been working without pay for more than a month. Many are pulling six-day work weeks with mandatory overtime, and increasing numbers of them have begun calling out as the financial strain and exhaustion mount. “You can’t expect people to go in to work when they’re not getting a paycheck,” said Kelly Matthews of Flat Rock, Michigan, a frequent business traveler who has canceled most of her upcoming trips. “I mean it’s not a matter of them not wanting to do the job — but you can’t afford to pay for gas, your day care and everything else.” The order comes as the Trump administration is ramping up pressure on Democrats in Congress to end the shutdown. Airlines said they would try to minimize impact on customers. Some planned to focus on slashing routes to and from small and medium-size cities. Carriers are required to refund customers whose flights are canceled but not to cover secondary costs such as food and hotel accommodations unless a delay or cancellation results from a contributing factor that is within the control of the airlines, according to the Department of Transportation. Industry analyst Henry Harteveldt warned that the reductions will “have a noticeable impact across the U.S. air transportation system.” The cuts could also slow package service as two airports on the list are major distribution centers for delivery companies: FedEx in Memphis, Tennessee, and UPS in Louisville, Kentucky, the site of this week’s deadly cargo plane crash. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/faas-order-cut-flights-nationwide-050831258.html New UPS Crash Video Shows Engine Already Off Wing Seconds After Liftoff This new footage reveals why NTSB investigators are focusing on the left engine in the UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville ... it had fallen clear off the aircraft by the time it went wheels up. Someone's dashcam captured the horrifying footage, which shows the massive three-engine jet only had its right engine seconds after lifting off ... making it impossible for the pilot to get enough power to avoid the tragedy that killed at least 12 people this week. Investigators announced Wednesday they'd recovered the flight and data recorders from the crash as they try to figure out what caused the disaster. While they already knew the left engine had fallen off the MD-11 jet ... they don't yet know why it separated from the plane. As we reported, the plane burst into a massive ball of fire Tuesday evening as the 3-person crew was taking off to begin a flight to Hawaii. The cargo plane was so low to the ground, it was clipping power lines -- you can see sparks flying in the video moments before the crash. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/ups-crash-video-shows-engine-163944563.html Boeing won't face criminal charge over 737 Max crashes that killed hundreds of people DALLAS (AP) — Boeing will not face a criminal conspiracy charge over two 737 Max jetliner crashes that killed 346 people, after a federal judge in Texas on Thursday granted the government’s request to dismiss the case. As part of a deal to drop the charge, the American aerospace company agreed to pay or invest an additional $1.1 billion in fines, compensation for the crash victims’ families, and internal safety and quality measures. The agreement lets Boeing choose its own compliance consultant instead of getting an independent monitor. Prosecutors said Boeing deceived government regulators about a flight-control system that was later implicated in the fatal flights. The ruling comes after an emotional hearing in September in Fort Worth where relatives of some of the victims urged U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor to reject the deal and instead appoint a special prosecutor. O’Connor wrote Thursday that the deal “fails to secure the necessary accountability to ensure the safety of the flying public.” Still, he said, the court can’t block the dismissal simply because it disagrees with the government’s view that the deal serves the public interest. The Justice Department has said a jury trial risks sparing Boeing from further punishment. The judge also said the government hadn’t acted in bad faith, had explained their decision and had met their obligations under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act. All passengers and crew died when two 737 Max jetliners went down less than five months apart in 2018 and 2019 — a Lion Air flight that plunged into the sea off the coast of Indonesia and an Ethiopian Airlines flight that crashed into a field after taking off from Addis Ababa. Some of the victims’ families plan to appeal O’Connor’s decision. “When a company’s failures cost so many lives, ending a criminal case behind closed doors erodes trust and weakens deterrence for every passenger who steps onto a plane," Paul Njoroge, a Canadian man who lost his wife and three small children in the Ethiopia crash, said in a statement released by the families' attorneys. The long-running case has taken many twists and turns since the Justice Department first charged Boeing in 2021 with defrauding the government but agreed not to prosecute if the company paid a settlement and took steps to comply with anti-fraud laws. However, federal prosecutors said last year that Boeing had violated the agreement, and Boeing agreed to plead guilty to the charge. O’Connor rejected that plea deal. In a statement after Thursday's ruling, Boeing said it would honor the agreement and continue “the significant efforts we have made as a company to strengthen our safety, quality, and compliance programs.” The Justice Department said in a statement that they are “confident that this resolution is the most just outcome.” The department has said the families of 110 crash victims either support resolving the case before it reaches trial or did not oppose the deal. Meanwhile, nearly 100 families have opposed the agreement. More than a dozen relatives spoke at the Sept. 3 hearing in Texas, with some coming from Europe and Africa. “Do not allow Boeing to buy its freedom,” said Catherine Berthet, who traveled from France. Her daughter, Camille Geoffroy, died in the Ethiopia crash. The first civil trial over that crash opened Wednesday in federal court in Chicago. The jury must decide how much Boeing has to pay the family of one victim, Shikha Garg, a United Nations consultant who was among several passengers traveling to a U.N. environmental assembly in Kenya. The criminal case centered around a software system that Boeing developed for the 737 Max, which airlines began flying in 2017. The plane was Boeing’s answer to a new, more fuel-efficient model from European rival Airbus, and Boeing billed it as an updated 737 that wouldn’t require much additional pilot training. But the Max did include significant changes, some of which Boeing downplayed — most notably, the addition of an automated flight-control system designed to help account for the plane’s larger engines. Boeing didn’t mention the system in airplane manuals, and most pilots didn’t know about it. In both of the deadly crashes, that software pitched the nose of the plane down repeatedly based on faulty readings from a single sensor, and pilots flying for Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines were unable to regain control. After the Ethiopia crash, the planes were grounded worldwide for 20 months. Investigators found that Boeing did not inform key Federal Aviation Administration personnel about changes it had made to the software before regulators set pilot training requirements for the Max and certified the airliner for flight. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/criminal-case-against-boeing-over-154233914.html Delta pilot didn't recall instructions before NYC airport ground collision, NTSB report says NEW YORK (AP) — The captain of one of the Delta Air Lines regional jets that collided at the intersection of two taxiways at LaGuardia Airport in New York last month told investigators he did not recall hearing instructions to give way to the other plane, according to a preliminary report Thursday from the National Transportation Safety Board. An aircraft carrying 32 people was preparing for takeoff to Roanoke, Virginia, on the night of Oct. 1 when its wing smashed into the front of an aircraft taxiing after arriving from Charlotte, North Carolina, with 61 people aboard. The low-speed collision injured a flight attendant, gouged the nose of one plane and shattered its cockpit window and damaged the wing of the other aircraft. The investigation is continuing and the NTSB report does not cite a cause for the collision between flights 5155 and 5047. The preliminary report notes that the ground controller instructed the outbound flight 5155 to “give way” to another plane on the ground. The flight crew read back the instructions, but the pilot told investigators he didn't the recall hearing the instruction to yield. He said he was focused on calculating performance numbers for the landing, according to the report. The plane started to taxi. “The captain recalled he was looking down into the cockpit to visually verify the airplane trim setting as part of the checklist, and when he looked up he saw flight 5047 to the right,” according to the report. The captain of flight 5155 said he tried to veer left to avoid the other aircraft, and the captain of flight 5047 said he applied brakes immediately before the collision. Delta declined to comment on the preliminary report other than to say they're fully cooperating with the investigation. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/delta-pilot-didnt-recall-instructions-220139866.html NTSB: Analysis of accident aircraft recorders underway LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - The National Transportation Safety Board says they have been successful in obtaining information from the data recorders aboard the UPS jet that crashed during takeoff from Louisville on Nov. 4, 2025. NTSB spokesman Todd Inman said preliminary data shows the MD-11F cargo jet, that was Flight 2976, had reached an altitude of 450 feet before it crashed. Inman said the jet had reached a speed of 183 knots (210 mph). The flight data (FDR) and cockpit voice (CVR) recorders have been flown to the NTSB lab in Washington D.C., where the information they contain will be analyzed. The FDR has 63 hours of information covering the last 24 flights made by the aircraft. The CVR contains two hours of audio, including the accident flight. Inman said the NTSB will not release audio from the CVR, but transcripts of the audio will be made available. https://www.wave3.com/2025/11/06/ntsb-analysis-accident-aircraft-recorders-underway/ French study says climate change-driven storms endanger flight safety Climate change is intensifying storms and turbulence, posing growing risks to aviation safety and efficiency in mid-latitude countries including Japan, new research led by French scientists has found. The researchers at the Laboratoire de Meteorologie Dynamique examined the effects of climate change on four major storms that significantly disrupted flights, including Typhoon Hinnamnor in August 2022, Japan’s 11th named storm of the season, which hit the country and South Korea particularly hard. They analyzed the climate impact by comparing the storms to similar events in the past, using detailed historical data of weather and climate conditions recreated with computer simulations. The results showed that storms have become more intense, producing stronger winds and often resulting in greater in-flight turbulence. They also show that such intense storms are now more frequent due to climate change, the scientists said. Southern parts of the U.K., northern France, the Netherlands as well as the eastern coasts of Taiwan and Japan and the southwestern parts of the U.S. are experiencing more intense turbulence compared with the situation 50 years ago, the researchers said. “Our findings clearly show that climate change is already threatening the efficiency of air transport,” Lia Rapella, a researcher at the French lab and first author of the study, said in a statement. “More turbulence not only means less comfort, but also higher costs.” Rapella added, “Flying through turbulent areas or avoiding them can increase fuel consumption and maintenance expenditure. And of course, closing down an airport due to a storm, even if just for a few hours, has huge human and economic consequences.” Typhoon Hinnamnor, which formed near the island of Minamitorishima some 1,900 kilometers south of Tokyo in August 2022, moved westward in the Pacific Ocean and quickly morphed into a super typhoon in two days. It was also a rare typhoon in that it changed track after approaching the main island of Okinawa, traveling north along the Sea of Japan. The storm led to the cancellation of over 1,100 flights to and from Japan, both domestic and international, between Aug. 31 and Sept. 6 that year, according to the transport ministry. The other storms analyzed in the study were Storm Eunice in February 2022, which affected the U.K. and Ireland; Storm Poly in July 2023, which hit Europe, including Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands; and the February 2023 winter storm that brought hail, snow and strong winds across wide parts of the U.S. While human-induced warming leads to an increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, thunderstorms and strong winds associated with cyclones are particularly concerning for the aviation industry, as they raise the risks of turbulence-related aircraft accidents and hinder or delay takeoff, the authors say. They also point to the need for the aviation industry to adapt to a changing climate. “It is crucial to develop increasingly accurate forecasting tools and to use high-resolution climate models to assess local climate change impacts near airports,” said Davide Faranda, a co-author of the study. “Only through collaboration between research, regulatory bodies, and the transport sector will it be possible to enhance the system’s resilience in the face of increasingly extreme weather events.” The study was published Friday in the Weather and Climate Dynamics journal. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/07/japan/science-health/climate-change-typhoon-turbulence/ Unraveling Europe’s Unique Airline Safety Rules: Seatbelts and Turnarounds Explained When we think of airline safety, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the constant reminder to fasten our seatbelts. Airlines around the world, including in Europe, stress the importance of keeping seatbelts fastened, even when the seatbelt sign is off. However, there’s a surprising exception to this rule during a specific time: the turnaround process. What Is the Turnaround Process? The turnaround is the phase where an airplane prepares for its next flight after passengers disembark. For many European airlines, this time is crucial as they aim to get the plane ready as quickly as possible for the next set of passengers. The idea is simple: an airplane on the ground is not earning money. Airlines, especially those with short-haul flights, aim to keep planes in the air as much as possible during the day. For example, Ryanair, Europe’s largest low-cost airline, is famous for its incredibly fast 25-minute turnaround. In this time, everything must happen simultaneously: unloading passengers, offloading baggage, and refueling the plane. This high-paced process has one significant caveat: passengers need to keep their seatbelts unfastened while refueling is taking place. Why Refueling Makes Seatbelt Use Dangerous This policy seems strange at first, especially since we’re so used to hearing about the importance of seatbelts. The reasoning behind this practice is safety-driven. Aviation regulators in Europe have determined that refueling presents a fire risk, and in the rare case of an emergency, they want to ensure there are no delays when evacuating passengers. The theory is simple: if a fire were to occur during refueling, a fast exit could be the difference between life and death. For this reason, European airlines ask passengers to unfasten their seatbelts while refueling is underway, which allows for a quicker evacuation if necessary. It’s crucial that passengers can quickly exit the aircraft in an emergency, and wearing a seatbelt during refueling could slow down that process. The Key Difference Between Europe and the US In contrast, the rules in the United States are slightly different. US airlines, under FAA guidelines, typically allow passengers to wear their seatbelts during refueling, provided the boarding door remains open until the process is complete. While some US airlines follow a similar practice to European carriers by requesting seatbelts to be unfastened during refueling, it’s not a universal mandate across the board. The primary distinction lies in how the US ensures that the door stays open, which serves as a safety measure during the refueling process. Other Surprising Safety Differences in Air Travel The seatbelt rule during turnaround is just one example of how airlines differ in their safety practices across the world. In many countries, it is a standard procedure to have window shades open during taxi, takeoff, and landing. This is to ensure passengers are aware of their surroundings and can quickly adjust their eyes if evacuation is necessary. Another lesser-known rule involves USB cables and chargers. On many international airlines, passengers are required to unplug these devices before takeoff and landing, as they could pose a tripping hazard in an evacuation. Similarly, hand luggage is banned from certain emergency exit rows to minimize obstacles in the event of an emergency. In the US, infants under the age of two are not allowed to be secured by a special infant seatbelt attached to the parent’s seatbelt, a practice allowed in many other parts of the world. What This Means for Travelers For travelers flying through Europe, understanding the reasons behind these unique safety practices can provide peace of mind. It’s a reminder that every airline, and country, has its own approach to safety. The turnaround process, though it may seem like a small detail, has significant implications for how airlines operate efficiently while maintaining high safety standards. So, the next time you’re traveling on a European airline, don’t be surprised if you’re asked to unfasten your seatbelt. It’s simply a precaution to ensure you can exit the plane quickly in case of an emergency during refueling. And while this may not be something you’ll encounter on all airlines globally, it’s a key part of the safety culture in Europe. Conclusion: The Unique Safety Measures of European Airlines European airlines have crafted their own set of safety protocols that set them apart from their counterparts in the United States and other parts of the world. From the quick turnaround times to the seatbelt rules during refueling, these measures prioritize efficiency and safety for all passengers. Understanding these differences can make travel feel safer and more transparent, so you’re always prepared for what’s to come. https://www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article/unraveling-europes-unique-airline-safety-rules-seatbelts-and-turnarounds-explained/ Bombardier Lowers Global 8000 Cabin Altitude to 2,691 Feet Global 8000's predecessor, the 7500, has a 2,900-ft cabin altitude at FL410 Bombardier has reduced the cabin altitude of its Global 8000 to 2,691 feet at FL410, a threshold the Canadian manufacturer claims as the lowest in the industry. Announcement of the reduced cabin altitude—which compares with the 2,900 feet of the ultra-long-range twinjet’s Global 7500 predecessor—comes as the aircraft approaches certification and just weeks after Bombardier confirmed a Mach 0.95 top speed for the Global 8000, another high watermark in the business aviation sector. Bombardier stressed the cabin altitude's importance for passenger well-being. “The ultimate comfort in the sky is feeling like you’re at home. We have focused heavily on elevating the passenger experience, imperative priorities for ultra-long-range travel,” said Stephen McCullough, senior v-p of engineering and product development at Bombardier. Along with the lower cabin altitude, Bombardier incorporates a Pũr Air system with HEPA air filtration for fresh air onboard the long flights. Bombardier said the Global 8000 remains on track to enter service by year-end. https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2025-11-04/bombardier-lowers-global-8000-cabin-altitude-2691-ft Bombardier Global 8000, World’s Fastest Business Jet, Awarded Transport Canada Type Certification • The Global 8000(1) sets industry benchmark by exceeding original cabin altitude target, confirmed at 2,691 ft. at 41,000 ft., making it the lowest in civilian aircraft in production • The Global 8000, the fastest civilian aircraft since the Concorde, confirms industry-leading top speed of Mach 0.95 and class-leading range of 8,000 nautical miles (NM) • Program on track for entry into service in 2025 Bombardier today announced that the Global 8000(1), the world’s fastest business aircraft, has been awarded Transport Canada Type Certification, paving the way for entry-into-service this year.
