@airwaysmagazine The Airbus Beluga ST (F-GSTD) made its final local flight today at noon in Toulouse, officially ending 27 years of service. This aircraft, the fourth built, spent its career carrying Airbus aircraft components and is now being replaced by the newer BelugaXL.
@Gatwick_Airport Aviation has come a long way, especially when it comes to noise and disruption. And thanks to modern aircraft and smarter operations, the industry is getting quieter. London Gatwick is now one third quieter than it was 20 years ago and we’re committed to continue reducing noise. With our Northern Runway plans, we’re keeping that momentum going – more flights without more noise.
@InsiderGeo NEW: Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary warns that the Russian war in Ukraine and recent drone incursions over Poland will cause travel disruptions across Europe for years to come. He cited NATO air activity, temporary airport closures, and flight delays, noting only 60% of Ryanair flights were on time Wednesday versus the usual 90%.
@jonostrower From TAC/Intel: Boeing’s CEO signaled another delay in certification and entry into service of its 777-9 is coming. (via @theaircurrent).
