An engine failure forced pilots on a Quantas flight to make an emergency landing shortly after it took from an airport in Sydney, Australia. Passengers heard a loud bang shortly after flight 520 from Sydney to Brisbane left the runway on Friday afternoon, the airline said in a statement, adding that it was not an explosion. Engineers concluded after a preliminary inspection and confirmed the Boeing 737 jet suffered a contained engine failure, the statement added. “After circling for a short period of time, the aircraft landed safely at Sydney Airport,” Qantas’ chief pilot, Capt. The plane “was banking a lot” as it turned to prepare for its eventual descent back into Sydney, Willacy said.

If you’re flying with Japan Airlines, the answer could be nothing at all. Called Any Wear, Anywhere, the service runs through the end of August 2024 and Japan Airlines says it could cut carbon emissions by reducing the weight carried by its airplanes. The true impact of the trial will only be revealed at the end, once Japan Airlines tallies the weight savings and calculates the exact reduction in emissions. However, Japan Airlines must be able to see a statistically significant reduction in baggage weight, says Gary Crichlow, an aviation analyst at consulting firm AviationValues. Moriya shares this ambition and hopes to expand the partnership with Japan Airlines to other members of the OneWorld Alliance, which includes American Airlines, British Airways and Quantas – and then to other alliances.

Compania aeriană australiană Quantas a transportat la mare altitudine un grup de 180 de persoane la bordul unui avion Boeing 787 Dreamliner, care a decolat din Sydney în noaptea de miercuri spre joi, pentru ca pasagerii să poată să admire spectacolul oferit de "Super Lună" deasupra Oceanului Pacific, informează DPA, citat de agerpres.ro. În Australia, "Super Luna" de miercuri seară a fost deosebit de spectaculoasă, întrucât a coincis şi cu o eclipsă de lună totală, formând totodată efectul vizual al unei "Luni sângerii", care a putut fi admirată de pasageri prin hublourile acelei aeronave. Ultima dată când un astfel de spectacol pe cerul nocturn a putut fi văzut în Australia s-a întâmplat în 2001, iar următorul fenomen de acest tip nu se va mai produce înainte de anul 2033, potrivit specialistei în astronomie Vanessa Moss, care i-a ajutat pe piloţii avionului să urmeze traseul optim de zbor, potrivit mass-media australiene. Această cursă specială s-a intitulat "Fly me to the Supermoon", iar zborul în sine, care a avut o durată de două ore şi jumătate, a inclus "cocktailuri cosmice" şi "prăjitură SuperLună". Preţul unui bilet la bordul aeronavei a fost de aproximativ 390 de dolari.
