On 1 November, 2023 planes of Ryanair and Air Malta made contact during taxiing at Madrid Barajas International Airport. Both planes were proceeding along taxiway A12 for take-off on runway 15R, when the right wingtip of the Ryanair 737 hit the Air Europa Boeing 787-8, thus sustaining damage to its winglets. Following the collision, the aircraft returned to the apron. Both flights to Bologna (Ryanair) and Salvador (Air Europa) were affected. The consequences of the incident were significant though for all parties involved: 1. passengers: delays 2. airlines: costs to repair the damages, arrange alternative flights and compensate passengers (food, drinks, hotel?) 3. airport: reduced operating capacity If only they would have had somebody leading the way to prevent such incident...

While useful for #aircraft utilization and income stream, domestic flying, on the whole, has been "a graveyard for profitability," according to John Grant in his recent OAG blog, so how has Ryanair - Europe's Favourite Airline bucked the trend and proved that domestic services can work? Analysing the data on the top six airlines operating domestic capacity in Europe, #Ryanair has increased their domestic flying by over one-third. So, where has that capacity growth occurred? https://lnkd.in/egHE4SX6

Hats off to The Cabin crew Team onboard #JL516 ! The time it takes cabin crew to evacuate passengers from an airplane can vary depending on multiple factors such as the size of the aircraft, the number of passengers, and the nature of the emergency. However, typically, cabin crew are trained to initiate and complete an evacuation within 90 seconds as part of their safety protocols. This timeframe is crucial for ensuring the safe and swift evacuation of passengers during an emergency situation. The Cabin crew Managed to Evacuate 379 Passengers safely! Excellent Job ! We have to learn many lessons from this accident Absolutely, airplane emergency procedures are of utmost importance and should always be taken seriously. Passengers and crew should pay close attention to safety briefings, follow instructions from the cabin crew, locate emergency exits, familiarize themselves with safety equipment, and be prepared to act calmly and swiftly in the event of an emergency. Adhering to these procedures significantly enhances the chances of a safe outcome during any unforeseen situation while flying. Fly safe ! .

If you’re following the saga around the Boeing 737 MAX line, it’s interesting to note that not a single EU airliner is a customer of the MAX 9 model. Nevertheless, after more than two years of being grounded, flydubai has resumed flights to Zagreb using the MAX8 model, the same type involved in the tragic crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia, resulting in over 300 fatalities. Regarding the MAX9 model, an incident with an Alaska Airlines plane where doors detached has led to its global operational suspension. However, flydubai continues to operate this model, asserting that the directives from the American FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) do not apply to them. They are likely the only airline still flying the MAX9. Given these concerns, I would advise friends flying from Zagreb to consider alternatives to FlyDubai for their safety and peace of mind 😅

Akasa Air has recently experienced the cancellation of 10 flights over a span of two days, which the airline has labeled as an "aberration." Although the specific reasons for these cancellations were not disclosed by the airline, insider sources suggest that a shortage of trained pilots may be to blame. However, Akasa Air has firmly denied any shortage of pilots. Check out the story : https://lnkd.in/d4NpNuP3 #akasaair #airline #aviation #aberration #businessnews #bizzbuzz

With the increase of cheap flights and the rise of low-cost airlines, the number of 'atypical' contracts has also been growing. Pilots and cabin crew with this type of contract have a weaker legal position, making them more likely to continue working when they are too ill or tired. Based on dozens of testimonies, Zembla investigates the working conditions of pilots and cabin crew members working for European budget airlines. Who pays the price for cheap tickets, and who guards the safety of the European airspace?
