Boeing’s Missed Warning: What It Means for Flyers

Here’s a coffee break jaw-dropper: A part that cracked and caused a deadly UPS cargo plane crash was actually flagged by Boeing back in 2011—but wasn’t seen as urgent. Fast forward, and that same part failed, grounding a whole fleet. For travelers and shippers, it’s a reminder to pay attention to airline safety updates—sometimes, the little things can have big consequences for your next delivery or trip. #Business #Industry #aviationnews

Would You Trust a Plane to Land Itself?

Imagine this: you're on a flight, something goes wrong, and instead of the pilot, the plane itself steps in to save the day. That's exactly what happened when a small plane over Colorado lost cabin pressure—Garmin’s Emergency Autoland took over and landed safely, no humans needed. This is a big deal for anyone who’s ever wondered if autopilot could really take the wheel. The tech is now a real-life backup plan, not just a sci-fi fantasy. #Business #Industry #AviationNews

Why Lufthansa Is Ditching Some Jumbo Jets

Lufthansa is cleaning out its airplane closet—selling two of its massive 747-8s and retiring two older 747-400s.
