Air Tahiti Nui will unveil a $17 million cabin upgrade in April on its fleet of five Airbus A340-300s.

The long-range Sukhoi Superjet 100 (MSN 95032) has performed its first test flight.

Cargolux has revealed it is in negotiations with Boeing to push back its 747-8 freighter deliveries and is unlikely to firm up two options it holds for the type.

Four Sukhoi Superjet 100s, grounded temporarily due to technical reasons, will resume operations before the end of the month.

Boeing operated a second 787 test flight as part of its effort to gather data on the inflight performance of the aircraft’s batteries.

The main technical problems discovered during two years of SSJ100 operations have been localized and are being eliminated.

Boeing has told UK carrier Thomson Airways that its first Boeing 787 will be delayed, although the new timeline for deliveries remains unclear.

Boeing has flown a test 787 aircraft, the first time a Dreamliner has taken to the air since the type was grounded by FAA because of concern about the safety of its lithium ion batteries.
