It's all piling up, and aircraft engine shops around the world are overflowing. American Airlines ' solution is to do more of the work itself. "We just have one customer and that's American Airlines doing our work," American's chief operating officer, David Seymour, said. GE Aerospace brought in $11.7 billion from engine maintenance, repairs and overhaul in the first half of 2024, making up 65% of its revenue.

DUBAI, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Latvian airline Airbaltic said on Monday it had placed an order for another 30 Airbus (AIR.PA) A220-300 passenger jets, along with options for another 20. Chief Executive Martin Gauss said the airline had experienced a "difficult summer" due to some groundings caused by shortages of Pratt & Whitney engines, but that the situation had stabilised with no unscheduled groundings for now. The move comes as the airline prepares for an initial public offering (IPO) in late 2024, for which the tentative business plan envisages up to 100 aircraft by 2030.

(Photo by Joan Cros/NurPhoto via Getty Images)Samsung said its technology — called Samsung Gauss — is designed for AI applications on devices. Samsung said its AI model is named after Carl Friedrich Gauss, "the legendary mathematician who established normal distribution theory, the backbone of machine learning and AI." Samsung could be amongst the first handset makers in the world to introduce generative AI to its devices. Apple , Samsung's biggest rival in the smartphone space, is yet to announce a generative AI product of its own. Company CEO Tim Cook said last month during the Apple earnings call that the tech giant has "work going on" in generative AI, but declined to give more details.

But it could be explained by magnetic fields — fields that were, in fact, found to be so strong that it was determined to be the most magnetic massive star ever recorded. It even gave rise to a new definition: a “massive magnetic helium star.”Now, scientists suspect that one day, the star will collapse in a supernova explosion. But it’s a massive step forward in unlocking the mysteries of magnetars, which have confounded scientists for decades. The mysteries of a magnetic starThe massive magnetic helium star at the heart of the study is part of a two-star system called HD 45166. Scientists already knew that about 10% of neutron stars are also magnetars.

With more than 40 airplanes in its fleet, airBaltic is the second-largest operator of A220s after Delta Air Lines (DAL.N). Assuming that it stays like this, I would say that at the end of 2024 we should have net zero missing engines." I don't see us going back to zero (missing engines) before the end of next year," he said. Gauss said in June airBaltic is in talks with Airbus to buy 30 more A220s as it prepares for a possible IPO next year.

U.S. electric vehicle maker Lucid Group will set up its first overseas factory in Saudi Arabia, the company announced. The Middle East, a region long known for its oil and gas riches, is investing in a new, more sustainable future potentially dominated by electric vehicles. The electric vehicle sector is booming in Israel, with electric vehicle deliveries in the first half of this year over 210% higher than the same period last year. "There's a growing recognition that countries need to do something on climate," said Tammy Klein, chairperson of the Electric Vehicle Council. "I think Middle Eastern countries are no different."
