Stretch, daily non-stop. Our brand-new, and shiny, #IndiGoStretch aircraft arrives in India. #goIndiGo #IndiaByIndiGo
Amazing!
The first QantasLink @Airbus A220 commercial flights took to the skies today, operated by two brand new jets straight from the Airbus factory in Mirabel, Canada.
VH-X4B, named ‘Koala’, operated the inaugural service QF1266 from Melbourne to Canberra, carrying passengers and aviation enthusiasts on the historic flight.
VH-X4A, named ‘Minyma Kutjara Tjukurpa’ with its striking Indigenous livery, made its commercial passenger debut shortly afterwards as QF1268.
As part of our fleet renewal program, the A220s will progressively replace our retiring Boeing 717s, with the third A220 due to arrive in Australia in June and a further four to be delivered by mid-2025.

China built the new Siem Reap Angkor International Airport #SAI, which replaced #REP last October. Very modern, a bit oversized for current traffic and, best of all, with open air smoking terraces and observation decks. (1/2)

How true. It takes a mountainous effort to get the cabin crew trained & they are pushed to the hot seat during such situations. @JAL_Official_jp Crew did THE job, they ARE known for. What an amazing crew, sad that we lost 5 warriors. #JL516 #A3AV #Aviation #JapanAirlines
How true! It’s never about just dishing, there’s a LOT involved. People are so impatient that they casually ignore the safety demos by the crew. #JL516 #Japan #Aviation #A3AV @AllAboutAVTN

Airbus regrets to confirm that an A350-900 operated by Japan Airlines was involved in an accident during flight #JAL516 from Sapporo New Chitose Airport to Haneda International Airport shortly after 17:47 (local time) on 02 January 2024. All 367 passengers and 12 crew members on-board evacuated the aircraft.
The A350 collided with a DHC-8 aircraft at landing in Haneda. The Japanese authorities have since confirmed that sadly five of the six people on board the DHC-8 did not survive. The exact circumstances of the event are still unknown.
The aircraft involved in the accident, registered under the number JA13XJ, was MSN 538, delivered to Japan Airlines from the production line on 10 November 2021. It was powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines.
In line with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 13 recommendations, Airbus will provide technical assistance to the Bureau d’Enquêtes et d’Analyses (BEA) of France and to the Japan Transport Safety Board (JTSB) in charge of the investigation. For this purpose, Airbus is presently dispatching a team of specialists to assist the Authorities.
Further updates will be provided as soon as consolidated information is available and Airbus is authorised to release them.
Our concerns and sympathy go to the families, friends and loved ones affected by the accident.

After 1 year, we will have to bid goodbye to the dynamic tail-art liveries of Air India Express.
In this duration, all aircraft of AirAsia India & Air India Express will be painted in the orange & turquoise livery.
VT-BXA bears the Bandhini Textile design on its tail. Future aircraft will have more traditional designs like Ajrakh, Patola, Kanjeevaram and Kalamkari.
The airline aims to have a fleet of 170 aircraft in next 5 years.
