About 46,000 flights reported navigation problems flying over the Baltics during an eight-month period, The Sun reported. AdvertisementThousands of planes may have run into issues with jammed GPS signals, according to a report by British tabloid The Sun which suggests that Russia may be to blame. AdvertisementBoth The Sun and The Guardian reported that Russia is suspected of being involved in GPS jamming attacks. The frequency of instances of navigation problems rocketed from fewer than 50 a week last year to more than 350 a week last month, The Sun reported. But the CAA told The Independent that jamming and spoofing near conflict zones were often by-products of military activity, not deliberate actions.

Signage outside the Boeing Co. manufacturing facility in Renton, Washington, US, on Monday, Feb. 5, 2024. The acting head of Europe's aviation regulator said on Wednesday the agency would halt its indirect approval of Boeing's jet production if warranted, but he feels reassured that the plane maker is tackling its latest safety crisis. Asked if EASA would be prepared to stop recognizing U.S. production safety approvals declaring that Boeing jets are built safely, Tytgat said, "If need be, yes." The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, said last week an audit of Boeing and supplier Spirit AeroSystems found multiple instances of poor controls. Under a transatlantic pact, the FAA and EASA regulate the factories of their respective plane makers — Boeing and Airbus — and recognize each other's safety approvals.

"Our job is 98% done," Privatisation Minister Fawad Hasan Fawad told Reuters when asked about the plan to sell the airline. Details of the privatisation process have not been previously reported. PIA had liabilities of 785 billion Pakistani rupees ($2.81 billion) and accumulated losses of 713 billion rupees as of June last year. Its CEO has said losses in 2023 were likely to be 112 billion rupees. PIA spokesman Abdullah Hafeez Khan said the airline was assisting the privatisation process, extending "full cooperation" to the transaction adviser.

☆ Flying taxi firm Lilium receives EU approval for its electric jets
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-27 | by ( Ryan Browne | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Lilium, a German air taxi firm, has received regulatory approval to design and operate its electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, the company said Monday. Alastair McIntosh, Lilium's chief technology officer and head of design organization, said the approval is effectively a "license to operate" for the firm. "Receiving Design Organization Approval from EASA further motivates us on our path to commercialize the revolutionary Lilium Jet," McIntosh said in a statement Monday. I would like to congratulate Lilium on achieving this Design Organization Approval, which advances Europe's electric aviation activity," he added. It's a key milestone for the industry, which has been working for several years to get such vehicles ready for commercialization.

"Potentially, that means between 48 and 96 aircraft being taken out of service whilst airlines arrange for the parts to be removed," Reeve added.

"Everybody now knows that AOG parts are not necessarily to be taken to be the claimants' parts," he said. The CFM56 jet engine powers the previous generation of Boeing 737s and about half of the previous generation of Airbus A320s. Britain's Civil Aviation Authority said in August it was "investigating the supply of a large number of suspect unapproved parts" through London-based AOG Technics.

"Fuel is 20 times more than the passenger weight," he said. Where airlines weigh passengersAir New Zealand weighed passengers in June for reasons, it said, related to safety and fuel efficiency. Commercial airline seating is based on average passenger weight from the 1950s to 1970s, Hilderman said.

☆ Exclusive: Airbus A321XLR jet faces range gap after design safeguards -sources
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-21 | by ( Tim Hepher | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

PARIS, July 21 (Reuters) - Airbus (AIR.PA) is grappling with a growing shortfall in the range of its upcoming A321XLR passenger jet after reaching an agreement with European regulators on design safeguards needed to achieve certification, industry sources said. "Airbus expects no significant impact on the XLR’s unique range advantage in the single-aisle segment," an Airbus spokesperson said in response to a Reuters query. But the design raised concerns among regulators about the risk of fire and evacuation times in the event of an accident, prompting talks over design changes needed for certification. This would trim the maximum range, which Airbus officially pegs at 4,700 nautical miles (8,700 km). Airbus aims to certify the A321XLR by end-year and deliver the first aircraft in the second quarter of 2024.

PARIS/TORONTO, June 18 (Reuters) - A year ahead of the Paris Olympics, flying taxi maker Volocopter wants to prove to executives at the Paris Airshow it is on track to ferry customers around the sporting showcase and take off globally. Success could boost the broader urban air mobility sector by persuading risk-averse investors that air taxis are worth putting money into, analysts and executives said. No flying taxi maker, whether Germany's Lilium or American player Joby, has received certification so far. Air mobility projects that went public through special purpose acquisition companies (SPAC) in recent years have lost at least 30% of their initial value. Venture capital is down across several industries, with a shift in spend from air taxis to drones, Riedel said.

☆ Russia’s war on Ukraine redrew the map of the sky – but not for Chinese airlines
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-25 | by ( Xiaofei Xu | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

He told the newspaper that airlines flying over Russia were indirectly helping the Kremlin’s war effort. Safety implicationsVirgin's Richard Branson has called for a ban on Chinese airlines flying to Europe via Russian airspace. CNN has reached out to the three main state-owned Chinese airlines – Air China, China Eastern and China Southern – for comments. For now, Chinese airlines have yet to return to full pre-pandemic capacities. But as Chinese airlines gradually return to normal and the war in Ukraine continues to rage on, European airlines could potentially face more fierce challenges on routes between Europe and East or Southeast Asia, creating some interesting choices for passengers.

However, Boiardi said an earlier proposal from the industry for totally single-pilot flying by 2030 was "absolutely not realistic", because automation had not advanced far enough and solo flying required a level of safety equivalent to existing operations. Solo flying, even in cruise, needs approval from the United Nations' International Civil Aviation Organization, individual airlines and their pilot unions. Even limited solo flying, however, is dividing airlines and raising public fears, while sparking a growing backlash among pilot groups like the European Cockpit Association. Airbus said in a statement it was studying the concept of a single pilot in the cruise phase but not wholly single-pilot flights. Consumer resistance, however, could result in single-pilot flying starting with cargo flights, industry officials said.

REUTERS/Peter Cziborra/File PhotoJan 24 (Reuters) - Europe's chief aviation regulator pointed on Tuesday to a narrowing gap in talks with Boeing (BA.N) over cockpit design requirements for the future 777X airliner. "We are hopefully converging," Patrick Ky, executive director of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) told Reuters, when asked about the progress of ongoing discussions on the 777X. Ky's remarks come shortly after industry sources said EASA held talks earlier this month with Boeing and the FAA to review certification expectations for the delayed jet. U.S. executives argue the 777 jet, which is being upgraded to create the 400-seat 777X, is one of the industry's safest.

REUTERS/Imad CreidiLONDON, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Airbus (AIR.PA) and Qatar Airways will resume a London court battle on Friday that thrusts their relations with regulators into the spotlight in a dispute over the safety of grounded A350 jets. Experts say it is the first time such a major international contractual and safety dispute in aviation, involving claims now approaching $2 billion, has ended up in open court. Airbus has told the court it would seek to show Qatar Airways "colluded" with the QCAA to have jets unnecessarily grounded to win compensation, a charge the airline denies. In a publicly available witness statement submitted to court in an October hearing, Qatar Airways cited what it called the "particular closeness" of ties between Airbus and its own regulator, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

REUTERS/Joshua Schneyer/File PhotoOct 14 (Reuters) - Hyundai Motor Co's (005380.KS) air taxi unit has picked aerospace supplier Honeywell International Inc (HON.O) to develop avionics systems for its eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft, the companies said, ahead of an announcement next week. "We want to see the FAA come out with its set of certification rules, quickly. Honeywell's collaboration with Supernal is its first with an air taxi firm established by an automaker. The company, which is a big supplier to Boeing Co (BA.N) and Airbus SE (AIR.PA), also has investments in other eVTOL firms - Lilium, Vertical Aerospace and Volocopter. The company expects the overall market for air taxis to be about $120 billion per year by 2030, Fymat added.

Белорусская авиакомпания Belavia приостанавливает рейсы Молдову и несколько других городов Европы. Регулярные рейсы в Стамбул в связи с необходимостью облета воздушного пространства ряда стран будут выполняться по измененному расписанию. В результате белорусские силовики произвели задержание оппозиционного журналиста Романа Протасевича, когда пассажиров отправили в транзитную зону для проверки. В качестве ответных мер ЕС решил запретить белорусским авиакомпаниям использовать воздушное пространство Евросоюза и рекомендовал европейским авиакомпаниям отказаться от использования воздушного пространства Беларуси. По версии белорусских властей, они рекомендовали экипажу самолета сесть в Минске, так как получили сообщение ХАМАС о бомбе на борту.

До этого США и их союзники запросили на незапланированном заседании Международной организации гражданской авиации в связи с ситуацией с бортом ирландской авиакомпании Ryanair проведения тщательного расследования инцидента со стороны организации. 23 мая самолет ирландской авиакомпании Ryanair, следовавший из Афин в Вильнюс, совершил экстренную посадку в Минске после сообщения о бомбе на борту. В Евросоюзе посчитали, что белорусские власти принудили лайнер Ryanair к посадке, чтобы задержать Протасевича, чем подвергли опасности жизни пассажиров и экипажа. В Минске считают, что не нарушали международные нормы, и пригласили оценить ситуацию экспертов Международной организации гражданской авиации (ИКАО), Международной ассоциации воздушного транспорта (ИАТА) и Европейского агентства по безопасности полетов (EASA).

După SUA, Brazilia şi Canada, a venit rândul Europei să emită, săptămâna viitoare, autorizaţia necesară pentru ca avioanele Boeing 737 MAX să poată zbura din nou, la aproape doi ani de la imobilizarea lor la sol, ca urmare a două accidente care au provocat 346 de morţi, a anunţat marţi autoritatea europeană de reglementare, informează AFP, citat de agerpres.ro. "Am beneficiat de o transparenţă totală din partea Autorităţii Federale pentru Aviaţie din SUA (FAA) şi a Boeing", a mai spus Patrick Ky.Autoritatea Federală pentru Aviaţie din SUA (FAA) şi-a dat, încă din luna noiembrie a anului trecut, acordul preliminar pentru ca avioanele Boeing 737 MAX să poată zbura din nou. În luna decembrie 2020, o aeronavă Boeing 737 MAX aparţinând companiei braziliene Gol a efectuat primul zbor comercial al acestui tip de avion, după o pauză de 20 de luni. Faptul că avioanele Boeing 737 MAX pot zbura din nou în Europa înseamnă că producătorul american va putea relua livrările de aparate destinate companiilor aeriene europene - şi deci să îşi îmbunătăţească rentabilitatea -, având în vedere că acestea achită o mare parte din nota de plată în momentul în care iau în posesie avioanele. Un total de 723 de avioane Boeing 737 MAX au fost comandate de companiile aeriene europene, cei mai importanţi clienţi fiind Ryanair (210 avioane), Norwegian Air Shuttle (92 de avioane) şi Turkish Airlines (63 de avioane).
