Budget carrier Norwegian has opened a new long-haul base at London Gatwick Airport, supporting its Boeing 787 routes to Los Angeles, New York and Fort Lauderdale.
LONDON — Finnair CEO Pekka Vauramo has shrugged off concerns raised by Flybe about the two airlines’ loss-making joint venture (JV), insisting that it is “business as usual” at Flybe Finland.
Independent aviation safety body Flight Safety Foundation (FSF) is backing the use of deployable flight-data recorders (FDRs), or triggered flight-data transmission, as the search for Malaysian Airlines MH370 continues. “We are publicly endorsing the use of deployable FDRs or burst data. The technology already exists and is used by the U.S. Navy for their helicopter operations. It is time that the airline industry started taking a good look at this to avoid delays in the recovery of FDRs,” Emily McGee, FSF director of communications and board relations, said.
