The occupants evacuated. There were no injuries, however, the aircraft is reported completely burned down. The aircraft carried DR Congo's Minister of Mines and had been chartered to transport a delegation of the Ministry. The Minister was travelling to monitor an accident at the Kalando Mine near Kolwezi, in which on Nov 15th 2025 more than 40 workers lost their lives in a reported bridge collapse due to rains. Kolwezi Airport features a runway 11/29 of 2410 meters/7900 feet length and mainly serves the local copper mine. However, the threshold of runway 29 was displaced by 1000 meters due to work in progress on the runway. DR Congo's BPEA opened an investigation into the accident stating, that the aircraft operated Kinshasa N'Djili to Kolwezi via Lubumbashi. At Kolwezi the aircraft skidded off the runway and caught fire. There were no fatalities, later adding that there was only material damage. https://avherald.com/h?article=52fd17ad&opt=0 Incident: ANZ A320 at Auckland on Nov 15th 2025, hydraulic problems AN ANZ Air New Zealand Airbus A320-200, registration ZK-OXD performing flight NZ-637 from Auckland to Queenstown (New Zealand), was climbing out of Auckland's runway 23L when the crew stopped the climb at FL080 reporting hydraulic problems and decided to return to Auckland for a safe landing on runway 23L about 50 minutes after departure. The rotation (NZ-637 and NZ-634) was cancelled. The occurrence aircraft returned to service about 20 hours after landing. https://avherald.com/h?article=52fd2b29&opt=0 Two men charged after directing laser at aircraft in Kentucky MAYSLICK. Ky. (WOWK) — Two men are in custody after subjecting a Kentucky State Police (KSP) helicopter to multiple strikes from a laser device in Mason County. Jason McKee, 49, of Mayslick, Kentucky, and Donald Boone, 55, of Aberdeen, Ohio, are both facing multiple charges, according to KSP. The incident happened earlier in the month during a search for a 11-year-old child, who was reported missing in Robertson County. During the search, the helicopter’s pilot and tactical flight officer were struck repeatedly by a laser beam near Mayslick in Mason County. The tactical officer possibly received an injury to his eyes as a result of the laser exposure. The suspects also allegedly fired multiple rounds from a gun towards the aircraft. Both suspects were arrested at a residence in the 4100 block of US 62 near Mayslick and taken to the Mason County Detention Center. McKee is charged with two counts of wanton endangerment, involving a police officer and the discharge of a firearm, as well as laser interference directed at an aircraft. Boone is charged with wanton endangerment involving a police officer. https://www.wowktv.com/news/kentucky/two-men-charged-after-directing-laser-at-aircraft-in-kentucky/ Passengers flying from Newark to Copenhagen were stranded overnight after an unscheduled landing at a remote Canadian military base An SAS flight from New York to Copenhagen diverted to a Canadian military base in Goose Bay. Passengers were stranded overnight before a rescue jet arrived from Copenhagen the next day. Goose Bay, home to 8,000 people and an air force base, often handles emergency landings. An SAS Scandinavian Airlines flight from New York to Copenhagen was forced to divert to a Canadian military base, leaving passengers stranded overnight before the airline dispatched a rescue jet to retrieve them. Flight SK910, an Airbus A330-300, departed Newark Liberty International Airport at 5:47 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday, bound for Denmark. But after three and a half hours in the air, the plane diverted northwest and landed safely at Goose Bay Airport in Labrador, Canada, at 9:15 p.m. local time (AST), according to FlightAware data. It is unclear what led to the unscheduled landing. SAS did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. As one of the last airports before crossing the Atlantic, Goose Bay is frequently used as a diversion site for transatlantic flights, but offers limited passenger facilities. On Monday, SAS sent an unloaded Airbus A330, operating as flight SK9201, from Copenhagen to Goose Bay, seemingly to rescue the stranded passengers. It took off from Copenhagen at 10:55 a.m. local time on Monday, landing just after midday in Goose Bay, per Flightradar24 data. "A presumably very light SAS A330 has been scrambled to fly to Goose Bay to pick up stranded passengers," Flightradar24 posted on X. The plane took off again for Copenhagen at 7:15 p.m. local time, landing in the Danish capital around 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning. As such, passengers from flight SK910 were stranded in Goose Bay for around 22 hours, also arriving 22 hours late at their destination. It is unclear whether the passengers were accommodated inside the military base — though in a similar 2023 incident, 270 Delta passengers stranded in Goose Bay were housed overnight in military barracks. Goose Bay's population is roughly 8,000, and its limited civilian infrastructure often leaves diverted passengers waiting for replacement aircraft or crew to arrive from elsewhere. The original plane was still on the ground in Goose Bay as of 5 a.m. ET on Tuesday. https://www.businessinsider.com/newark-passengers-stranded-overnight-at-canadian-military-base-2025-11 Takeoff Performance Will Drive 777-10 Study, Boeing Says DUBAI—Boeing says a technical feasibility study of a stretched 777-10 derivative of the 777X family will be driven largely by takeoff performance requirements. In the case of such a large capacity twin-engine aircraft, these requirements focus mainly on whether it could meet current critical engine failure certification rules. The prospect of a longer 777-10, potentially seating up to around 470 passengers or more, emerged at the Dubai Airshow as part of an announcement by Emirates order for 65 additional GE9X-powered 777-9s in a deal worth $38 billion. Although details of potential configuration changes are yet to be evaluated “we've committed to a study with Emirates to understand those things,” says Boeing's Justin Hale, Customer Leader for the 777X. To increase maximum seating capacity toward the 50-plus additional passengers targeted by Emirates President Tim Clark, the 777-9 would notionally be accommodated with a stretch of around 16.ft, taking the -10’s overall length up to 268 ft. While the 777X’s electronic tailskid protection system would protect the aircraft from over-rotation with the existing main landing gear, “it's more about the impact on takeoff performance,” Hale says. The 777-10 evaluation will also cover design aspects ranging from added structural weight to payload-range changes. “Those are all the things that a study would have to go look,” he adds. Takeoff performance for any aircraft, but particularly for a twin-engine aircraft, must consider the impact of an engine failure and the effect on takeoff distance and climb rate. Designers must also factor in the impact on controllability, as the aircraft must maintain directional control after an engine failure. Although the potential size of a prospective 777-10 and its market potential remain unknown, Boeing continues to “investigate what other things are in the art of the possible,” says Darren Hulst, vice president of Boeing's Commercial Marketing division. “We don't stop once we deliver [a product]. We're thinking about what other innovations we can bring, whether it's more range, more payload, more capacity. Those are the things that we're looking at in the near term to see where the market is.” Hulst says the 777-10 feasibility study will include a tradeoff between risk and versatility or flexibility. The future replacement market for 350-plus seaters, including the current fleets of Airbus A380s and 777-300ERs, is just over 1,000. “The vast majority of those airplanes probably want to be replaced by the 777-9 because it's the right-sized aircraft that provides growth, but maybe not significantly more growth and risk than what the market wants,” Hulst says. “Sometimes the tradeoff on risk is too expensive and I think as we look forward, the question is going to be, what is the tradeoff between risk or more capacity versus a platform for more capacity?” he says. https://aviationweek.com/air-transport/aircraft-propulsion/takeoff-performance-will-drive-777-10-study-boeing-says Europe and U.S. Flight Tracking System Market Outlook 2025–2035: Innovation, Growth, and Demand Trends The increasing emphasis on accurate and continuous flight monitoring as a major block of modern aviation safety and operational efficiency is more clearly visible in this tremendous growth.Since airspace is becoming increasingly crowded worldwide, and the number of commercial and cargo flights is quickly increasing, flight tracking systems are becoming essential tools for minimizing flight delays and optimizing air traffic flow, as well as ensuring safety in overall flights.

The European planemaker expects passenger traffic in the Middle East to grow at a compound annual rate of 4.4% over the next two decades, Airbus Head of Marketing in Africa and the Middle East Grainne van den Berg told a press conference. Make sense of the latest ESG trends affecting companies and governments with the Reuters Sustainable Switch newsletter. Sign up here. Airbus also expects the services market in the region to double to $29.9 billion by the end of 2044, van den Berg added. The forecast came ahead of the Dubai Airshow, the largest Middle East aviation event taking place on November 17-21. Airbus, which is among the planemakers taking part as it vies for orders with its main competitor Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab, predicts widebody aircraft will make up 42% of total demand in the region by 2044, representing the highest share globally. "The Middle East is transforming global aviation, and the forecast fleet expansion is truly significant, particularly when it comes to widebodies," said Airbus President in Africa and Middle East Gabriel Semelas. "This region is becoming the long-haul hub now and into the future," Semelas added. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/airbus-says-middle-east-regional-aircraft-more-than-double-by-2044-2025-11-16/ Emirates to hold Boeing’s ‘feet to the fire’ to deliver on $38 billion deal, president says Emirates is piling the pressure on Boeing to deliver on a $38 billion order placed this week, the airline’s president told CNBC on Tuesday. Speaking to CNBC at the Dubai Airshow, Emirates President Tim Clark said he had faith Boeing could “restore [its] former glory” — but nonetheless, the airline is doing what it can to ensure the beleaguered aircraft manufacturer holds up its end of the agreement. Emirates announced Monday it has placed an order for 65 Boeing 777-9 planes, worth $38 billion at list prices — taking Emirates’ total orderbook with the planemaker to 315 widebody jets. Clark told CNBC the airline was hoping to receive the first of the new Boeing aircraft in the second quarter of 2027. Emirates is Boeing’s biggest customer when it comes to wide-body aircraft, but the airline has been struggling with prolonged delays to Boeing’s 777X program amid certification and production challenges. Boeing has also struggled to deliver other aircraft, including its 737 jets, after a strike at the firm late last year hit production. “We’re kind of holding Boeing’s feet to the fire,” Clark said, noting that while the aircraft is “sound,” Boeing is having to contend with huge certification requirements that come with a new aircraft and slower processes at the Federal Aviation Administration which has been impacted by the U.S. government shutdown. Restoring Boeing’s ‘former glory’ Emirates has been critical of delays to deliveries from Boeing in the past, with Chairman and CEO Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum telling CNBC last year that the airline was “not happy really with what’s going on.” Amid the delays, Emirates has spent billions of dollars retrofitting its older planes to plug capacity gaps. Other airlines have also been impacted by postponements to Boeing deliveries. Earlier this year, budget airline Ryanair cut its passenger traffic goal, citing Boeing delays. Despite Boeing’s ongoing challenges, however, Clark told CNBC he expects Boeing can, and will, turn itself around. “I know the Boeing of old, and I know what Boeing could do, and they were really, really a great company,” he said. “I see no reason why what has happened in the last decade cannot be fixed, and that Boeing cannot restore itself to its former glory of being an aeronautical engineering designer of excellence.” Boeing has also come under intense scrutiny in recent years following a series of fatal crashes involving its aircraft. Earlier this year, a Boeing Dreamliner operated by Air India crashed moments after taking off from Ahmedabad, India. In late 2018, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 — a Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft — crashed in a rural area southeast of Addis Ababa, killing everyone on board. It came just months after another 737 Max 8 aircraft went down just after takeoff from Jakarta, Indonesia. When it comes to safety concerns, Clark insisted that Boeing has worked hard to shore up the security functions on its planes. Boeing is now focused on operational safety, quality control and reviewing systems and protocols across the board, Clark said. “If they get all of that right, it will take time, but with the new management, they have a strong chance of restoring the company to its former glory,” he added. “We’ve got 270 now of the 777, the biggest 777 order probably in history, when you take it all together — I don’t think we’d be doing that if we weren’t confident they were going to be able to deliver,” Clark said. “So we’re right behind them. We’ve been moaning, as you would expect — it has not been easy or cheap for us to remediate the lack of capacity, but in the end, you have to put your faith in what I believe to be a strong and sound company that well managed, they’ll get themselves out of this and rolling out airplanes at pace in the next five [to] seven years.” https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/18/emirates-pressures-boeing-to-deliver-on-38-billion-deal.html flydubai signs a landmark agreement for 150 A321neo aircraft, becoming an Airbus customer Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 18 November 2025 – flydubai has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus for 150 A321neo aircraft making the airline a new Airbus customer.

This will enable flydubai to play a key role in the success of Dubai World Central’s expansion plans, an airport we aim to become the largest airport in the world.” “The A321neos will support the next phase of our network development and enable us to meet rising demand across our markets. We look forward to establishing a strong and enduring partnership between flydubai and Airbus.” The addition of the latest generation A321neo will support flydubai’s strategy to expand its network, offering customers access to new destinations with greater efficiency and comfort. “We welcome flydubai, one of the Middle East’s most ambitious and fast-growing carriers, as a new Airbus customer,” said Christian Scherer, CEO Commercial Aircraft at Airbus. “The decision to invest in and introduce the A321neo into its fleet is another endorsement of the added value Airbus brings in terms of range, efficiency and passenger comfort. We look forward to supporting flydubai as it enables new growth and possibilities with our aircraft.” The A321neo is part of the A320neo Family, incorporating the latest technologies including new generation engines, Sharklets and cabin efficiency enablers, which together deliver more than 20% fuel savings and CO₂ reduction compared to previous generation single-aisle aircraft. At the end of October 2025, more than 7,200 A321neo aircraft have been ordered by nearly 100 customers across the globe. As with all Airbus aircraft, the A320 Family is already able to operate with up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), with Airbus targeting 100% SAF capability by 2030. https://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2025-11-flydubai-signs-a-landmark-agreement-for-150-a321neo-aircraft Lawsuit filed over 2 deaths in medical jet crash in NE Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA -- The families of two of the eight people killed earlier this year when an air ambulance crashed in Philadelphia filed a lawsuit on Monday, claiming the medical air transport company and others negligently caused their deaths. The wrongful death case was filed by the estates of Dr. Raul Meza Arredondo, a pediatrician, and Lizeth Murillo Osuna, the mother of a girl who was flying home to Mexico after being treated at a Philadelphia hospital. All six people on board the Learjet 55 were killed, along with two people on the ground. More than 20 people were hurt. About a minute after takeoff from Northeast Philadelphia Airport on Jan. 31, the Tijuana, Mexico-bound plane crashed into a busy neighborhood, "erupting in a massive explosion that engulfed multiple vehicles and houses and sent fiery debris raining down on terrified and helpless bystanders," the plaintiffs alleged in the lawsuit. The crash occurred near Roosevelt Mall, an outdoor shopping center in the Rhawnhurst neighborhood. The National Transportation Safety Board has said the voice recorder on the plane was not working and that the crew made no distress calls to air traffic control. The defendants are the Guadalajara air ambulance company, Med Jets, S.A. de C.V., which does business as Jet Rescue, along with unspecified others who were responsible for the plane's design, manufacture, maintenance and inspection. Messages seeking comment were left Monday for a Jet Rescue spokesman, for lawyers listed as representing Med Jets in a related federal lawsuit, and for a Jet Rescue Air Ambulance facility in Florida. Arredondo and Osuna were both described in the lawsuit as Mexican citizens. Arredondo lived in Atizapan de Zaragoza, Osuna in Ensenada. https://6abc.com/post/lawsuit-filed-2-deaths-medical-jet-crash-northeast-philadelphia/18167430/ PhD GRADUATE RESEARCH SURVEY REQUEST My name is Nathan Schultz, and I am a doctoral candidate at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in the Ph.D. in Aviation program.
