Triskaidekaphobia—the fear of the number 13. Since this number is viewed as unlucky in many cultures, some airlines choose to skip row 13 entirely, showing their sensitivity to passengers' superstitions and their commitment to a smooth, stress-free flight. In Europe, at least four airlines omit row 13, and in the U.S., the majority do the same. As long as passenger comfort remains a top priority, it’s unlikely we’ll see this "unlucky" row return. #livingaviation

🤔 Efficient aircraft refuelling is critical - but did you know just how crucial it is? 🛫 Airlines, airports, passengers, and other key stakeholders benefit significantly from ensuring their into-plane service provision is fully streamlined and optimised. 💪 And, of course, the refuellers - the unsung heroes of the aviation industry dedicated to providing fast turnarounds that allow flight schedules to stay on track - rely on efficiency in their dedication to becoming the best. Below are some key facts that show just how vital efficient refuelling is.

Air New Zealand has faced a string of unusual incidents involving its Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft in recent months. From engine issues to weather-related challenges, these events have disrupted travel plans for numerous passengers and raised questions about the reliability of the aircraft type. >On July 29, 2024, Air New Zealand flight NZ946, bound for Rarotonga, made headlines when it was forced to return to Auckland after two unsuccessful landing attempts due to strong crosswinds. >Just weeks earlier, on July 4, 2024, Air New Zealand flight NZ81, en route to Hong Kong, had to turn back to Auckland due to a malfunctioning engine anti-ice system. > In February 2023, an Air New Zealand Boeing 787 flying from Auckland to New York made an unexpected return due to an undisclosed technical issue. Additionally, another 787 operating a flight to Chicago was forced to turn back due to a fuel usage discrepancy. While the aviation industry is inherently safe, the recurrence of these incidents raises questions about the reliability of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Air New Zealand, as well as Boeing, will undoubtedly be scrutinizing these events to identify any underlying issues and implement necessary corrective measures. #Airport #Airline #AirNewZealand #Boeing #B787 #AviationIndustry #AviationOasis https://lnkd.in/gD39VJWC

Today we recognize the International Day of the Air Traffic Controller. The day celebrates those who work hard to keep air travel safe. About 100,000 flights around the world take off and land each day. With so many planes in the air, it’s amazing that flying by plane is as safe as it is. The safety of air travel is largely attributed to air traffic controllers. These professionals direct air traffic on the ground at airport runways and taxiways. Air traffic controllers also monitor and direct the movement of planes through airspace. #Amerijet #aircargo #airtrafficcontroller

The Federal Aviation Administration is dropping $290 million to give Charlotte Douglas International Airport a shiny new runway, aiming to cut delays and make flying out of one of the world’s busiest airports a little less chaotic. With this fourth runway, Charlotte's gearing up to handle even more flights, because why stop at 700 flights a day when you can squeeze in a few more?

Why airlines are all-in on new single-aisle planes for transatlantic flights https://lnkd.in/gjBYEFUj The narrow body 757-200 flies 600 mph at 40,000 feet while maintaining near sea level cabin pressure. Avoid the time and massive cost involved with design , FAA certification and re-tooling of a new aircraft when the best most fuel efficient safest (analog panel and mechanical flight controls) commercial (pilots choice) aircraft in the world straight back into production wih "no changes" right down to the last rivet back into production in just one model configured as the last 757-200 ETOPS built for United Airlines (what you see is what you get) no changes !

Have you checked our empty leg list recently? An empty leg can be booked as a charter for greatly reduced rates, as low as 50% of normal charter costs. It is estimated that one-third of private aircraft flights are empty: https://lnkd.in/dEpR63f #privatejet #businessjets
