This is Air India’s first retrofitted Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, VT-ANT—and it’s gearing up to carry paying passengers very soon.

At its money-making San Francisco hub, United Airlines realized it was losing valuable high-spend business class travelers to competitors because it was flying planes with too few premium seats.

I covered military aviation for 9 years, and now the intersection of regulation and commercial for four.

Aviation is just the thing I do.

There have been just two U.S. airline fatalities since the 2009 Colgan crash. In 2018, the failure of an engine aboard a Southwest flight caused a passenger to be partially sucked out the window and in 2019 a PenAir turboprop experienced an overrun in AK causing a prop blade to impact the fuselage.
