The addition of sustainable aviation fuel at Cologne Bonn Airport has been driven in part by demand from air freight operators looking to offer a lower-carbon to their customers.

Scoot CEO Campbell Wilson updated the media on the LCC's progress as it launched Airbus A321neo operations on June 28.

Boeing’s long-delayed 777X program has suffered another blow after the FAA declined the manufacturer’s request for Type Inspection Authorization (TIA), citing concerns over unresolved software and hardware issues.

It is an inconvenient truth that China means a lot to Boeing—and to U.S. foreign trade, manufacturing and employment.

A UK-funded research program is developing a hybrid hydrogen and electric propulsion architecture that could offer a stepwise approach to introducing cryogenic and superconducting technology while easing the path to certification of the technology.

As the gradual lifting of travel restrictions sets the stage for a swift traffic recovery this summer, Airbus and Boeing plan on sticking to strategies that can now be described as proven.

The decision to reactivate the four-engine widebodies, that were being phased out from its fleet, follows Lufthansa witnessing growing demand for first-class services.

Why the WTO pact is essential to blunting the China challenge.

GE/Safran demonstrator aims to make open rotor a reality for new single aisles after 40 years of research, tests and abandoned attempts.

As Airbus evaluates liquid hydrogen as a possible route to zero-emission commercial aviation by the mid-2030s, it has begun a research program to explore the potential of cryogenically cooled electric propulsion for large civil aircraft.

With system and software enhancements for retrofit into all MAX versions, 737-10 test and certification is more than sum of its parts.

Airline eVTOL shuttle services could be on the horizon.

Helvetic says it becomes the first carrier to operate both the E190-E2 and the larger E195-E2.

Austrian Airlines is reconverting two Boeing 777-200ERs for passenger service that had been used for cargo flights over the past 15 months amid the COVID-19 crisis.

Joint flight experiments by DLR and NASA prove sustainability benefit of low-aromatic fuels.

The 737-10 first flight was apparently successful, but by limiting media access Boeing missed a greater opportunity to tell the wider story of how it is navigating challenging times to rebuild faith in the MAX and the company itself.

All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines have committed to being net-zero carbon by 2050, while Japan aims to commercialize domestically produced sustainable aviation fuels by 2030.

The integrated demonstrator, customized to the performance and economic requirements of commercial aircraft, will be built at a Liebherr system integration testing laboratory in Toulouse.

An end to the 17-year airliner subsidy spat frees the West to repair its aerospace industry and prepare to tackle competition from China.

Embraer E190-E2 received steep approach certification from EASA on May. This opens the door for airlines to operate the airplane at airports that require approach slopes greater than the typical 3.0 degrees.

Boeing conducted the long-delayed first flight of the 737-10, the fourth version of the MAX series, with a 2 hr. 30 min. test mission in picture-perfect weather over Washington State on June 18.

A new kind of permanent shock could hit the jetliner industry if the U.S. and China do not come to a rapprochement.

OEMs are trying to raise expectations around the future of airliner manufacturing, but the supplier base remains grounded in reality.

Airlines are looking to dip their feet into the nascent advanced air mobility sector by placing orders for electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) vehicles under development by a host of startups.

Rolls-Royce says it will make its all of its civil aircraft engines compatible with sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) as part of its roadmap for decarbonizing aerospace.
