There were no injuries and no damage to the aircraft. The aircraft was able to return to Bratsk several hours after landing. The information from Olekminsk are sketchy at the very best. It is not known, which runway the aircraft was approaching and which runway it landed on, also, the official AIP of Russia do not make clear that there is a runway under construction in Olekminsk, no NOTAMs, Amendments or Supplements show such information, too. The Aerodrome chart shows only one runway, which however is named 08L/26R on the chart with markings for a runway 08R/26L visible on the charts with what looks like multiple parts of a runway between runway 08L/26R and the apron. The only instrument approach procedures are a dual NDB approach to runway 26R and a "back course" dual NDB approach to runway 08L. Local media however reported that construction of a runway began in 2019, the existing runway (labelled 08L/26R) is going to be resurfaced. A video of the situation after landing seems to suggest the aircraft was on approach to runway 26R. A local TV station later reported that the captain of the flight mistook a part of the runway under construction for the active one due to snow drift. This suggests the aircraft actually landed on the about 600 meter long part of the runway 26L as indicated on the aerodrome chart. The video showing the aftermath of the landing on second look shows another aircraft on final approach to runway 26R confirming the occurrence aircraft landed on the 600 meter strip of runway 26L. http://avherald.com/h?article=4e124025&opt=0 Hughes 369D - Fatal Accident (Mississippi) Date: 29-DEC-2020 Time: c. 08:45 Type: Hughes 369D Owner/operator: Signature Utility Services Registration: N103SU C/n / msn: 210895D Fatalities: Fatalities: 1 / Occupants: 1 Other fatalities: 0 Aircraft damage: Written off (damaged beyond repair) Category: Accident Location: near Laurel, Jones County, MS - United States of America Phase: Manoeuvring (airshow, firefighting, ag.ops.)

American Airlines is set to relaunch passenger flights on the Boeing 737 Max 8 on Tuesday morning with a trip from Miami to New York, the first step in its plans to gradually reintroduce its 737 Max fleet. The US airline has worked hard to restore passenger confidence in the aircraft since US safety regulators announced in November they had cleared the 737 Max to fly again. Earlier this month, American Airlines said it was planning to host tours of the Boeing 737 Max jets for its customers as well as calls with its pilots in the coming weeks to assuage any doubts among prospective passengers. American Airlines is informing customers that they are choosing to fly on the Max aircraft before they confirm their ticket purchase and the carrier said it would re-book customers who do not feel comfortable about the aircraft. "No one has to go on the Max if they don't want to, but if you want to, it's there," American's Chief Operating Officer David Seymour said at a media event aimed at promoting confidence in the 737 Max earlier this month. The flight - the first by a major global airline since the fleet was grounded in 2019 - represents an important first test for Boeing. If passengers are reluctant to book flights on the aircraft, or get cold feet at the gate, the aircraft manufacturer could potentially face losing billions of dollars in cancelled orders. Boeing is already thought to have lost around $18 billion (£14bn) while the jets were grounded on top of a large compensation bill for the crashes. Regulators worldwide grounded the Boeing 737 Max in March 2019 after two relatively new jets in the fleet crashed within five months of each other. A Lion Air 737 Max killed 189 people in October 2018 when it nosedived into the Java Sea shortly after taking off from Jakarta. In March 2019, an Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max crashed minutes after taking off in Addis Ababa, killing all 157 passengers on board. A faulty flight-control system that forced down the nose of the plane was implicated in both crashes. Boeing has made software changes to the fleet to ensure pilots have greater control over the planes and other alterations which the US Federal Aviation Authority approved in mid-November, ending the 20-month safety ban. All airlines must complete the safety changes and introduce new pilot training before taking passengers. An incident involving a Boeing 737 Max last week has heightened scrutiny around the jet's return. An Air Canada aircraft was undergoing testing on December 22, before its planned reintroduction, when it was forced to make an unscheduled landing after suffering engine trouble. American Airlines is the first US carrier to resume commercial flights on the 737 Max and held a media event earlier this month in which it flew employees, senior executives and journalists on 737 Max to boost confidence in the aircraft. As well as the software changes, Boeing's chief executive, Dave Calhoun, has said the company has improved its safety practices and culture as well as since the fatal crashes. "We will never forget the lives lost in the two tragic accidents that led to the decision to suspend operations," he said. "These events and the lessons we have learned as a result have reshaped our company and further focused our attention on our core values of safety, quality and integrity." Early indications suggest that most commercial passengers are unconcerned about the prospect of travelling on the aircraft. At the time of writing, around 100 seats appear to have been booked on Tuesday's 10.32 am flight AA718 from Miami to New York's LaGuardia airport. A Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Monday suggested that Americans are less familiar with the two fatal Boeing 737 Max crashes than they were last year. Just 39 per cent of respondents said they were familiar with the two crashes, compared to about 50 per cent in a May 2019 poll. However, when respondents were told about the aircraft's safety issues, 57 per cent said they were not likely to fly in a Boeing 737 Max, while 37 per cent say they would be likely to fly in it once it has been in the air for six months or more. In response to the poll, a Boeing spokesman said: "We continue to work closely with global regulators and our customers to support the safe return of the fleet to service around the world". Of the other US carriers that owned the 737 Max before its grounding, United Airlines plans to fly the jet again in February and Southwest Airlines - the world's largest 737 Max operator - in the second quarter of 2021. Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes, Brazil's largest airline, became the first carrier to restart 737 Max flights this month, followed by Grupo Aeromexico. https://www.yahoo.com/news/boeing-737-max-takes-skies-153039359.html Volga-Dnepr Airlines Brings its First An-124-100 Back into the Skies • Volga-Dnepr Airlines has restarted An-124-100 commercial operations. The first plane has taken off after the completion of technical checks and execution of service directives to a full extent. Konstantin Vekshin, chief commercial director of Volga-Dnepr Group, highlights, "It appears that we have been able to re-start our An-124-100 operations before the end of this year. We are in the process of diligent execution of the service directives, the technical checks are on the right track. As expected, our first An-124-100 is back in the air again. The ultimate return will be incremental and we will still take our time to follow the guidelines reflected in the service directives". Volga-Dnepr has taken a thorough approach towards the re-launch of An-124 commercial operations to secure the utmost flight safety in line with existing industry and internal standards. The company will be discussing the return to service and availability of An-124 with the customers individually and will keep them and the market informed about the situation. https://www.aviationpros.com/airlines/press-release/21204150/volgadnepr-group-volgadnepr-airlines-brings-its-first-an124100-back-into-the-skies Aviation Deaths Tick Up in 2020 Despite Drastic Slump in Air Travel Dec. 29—JOHANNESBURG — The number of people killed in plane crashes grew in 2020 despite the dramatic slump in the number of aviation passengers in the pandemic. A total of 318 people were killed in commercial aviation accidents in 2020, an increase of 25 deaths compared with 2019, figures from the Hamburg-based Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Centre (JACDEC) flight safety authority show. That was the case despite the overall number of fatal accidents involving planes falling from 27 in 2019 to just nine in 2020. This is because the majority of the fatalities, or 86 per cent, can be attributed to two accidents: the shooting down of a Ukrainian passenger plane in Iran in January and the crash of a Pakistani commercial airliner in Karachi in May. A total of 176 people were killed in the Tehran crash, for which Iran ultimately admitted "unintentional" responsibility. The crash of the Pakistani Airbus A320 into a residential area in Karachi killed 97 people on board and one on the ground. The international industry association IATA estimates that flight activity plummeted up to 70 per cent over the whole of 2020 in some regions. The JACDEC has been registering and analysing accidents and serious incidents in civil aviation for around three decades. All aircraft weighing more than 5.7 tons or with more than 19 seats are recorded. https://www.aviationpros.com/airlines/news/21204125/aviation-deaths-tick-up-in-2020-despite-drastic-slump-in-air-travel India’s Aviation Ministry Wants Industry To Prepare For Vaccine India’s Civil Aviation Ministry has asked the country’s aviation industry to prepare for a vaccine rollout. Transporting the vaccine is a difficult task, requiring airlines, airports, and ground handling teams to work together. As India nears its first vaccine doses reaching the population, the industry must be ready. Get ready In a statement seen by Indian Express, the Civil Aviation Secretary called on the industry to begin preparing for the nearing vaccine rollout. He said of the plans, “All the main stakeholders — airports, airlines and ground handlers — have been alerted and asked to draw their plans. The exact SOPs will be formulated with the Ministry of Health and Department of Pharmaceuticals when we know the exact requirements of the vaccine — what precautions have to be taken, how it has to be transported and what other measures are required.” Plans will likely include every company’s capacity to carry vaccines, cold-chain facilities required, and any extra resources. While a lot depends on the specific vaccine, general facilities will need to be prepared very soon. In the coming weeks, the government will layout the formal procedure for handling and transporting vaccines. India is yet to approve any COVID-19 vaccines, with the likeliest candidate being the Oxford-AstraZeneca one. India’s vaccine rollout The most important part of transporting COVID-19 vaccines is maintaining an end-to-end cold chain. India has a few distinct advantages in this process for several reasons. First, the most likely vaccine to be approved first is the one that is made by Oxford and AstraZeneca, which only requires fridge temperatures (2-8°C). This separates the vaccine from the Pfizer and Moderna ones, which are being transported globally already, and needs to be kept at -70°C. Secondly, this vaccine is being manufactured in India itself, allowing shorter domestic flights. The production facility is located in Pune, India, a well-connected domestic airport. Most countries are currently flying long-haul flights to bring Pfizer and Moderna the vaccines from Europe and the US. Airlines in the US are also transporting the vaccine domestically right now. The UK’s approval of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine today could mean India is only days from its own rollout. Hit the ground running As millions worldwide begin receiving their first doses, India has a huge task ahead of itself. India plans to provide anywhere from 600 to 800 million doses in the next six to eight months, according to Times of India. Approval for the vaccine could come as soon as next week, which means airlines must be ready at short notice. Almost 50 million shots are already ready for transportation, which means the process could begin extremely soon for airlines. Transporting the vaccine will undoubtedly be the biggest mission for the aviation industry this year and the next. https://simpleflying.com/indian-aviation-vaccine-preparation/ New FlightData Feature Enables Automatic Reporting Aerocor’s FlightData product (formerly CirrusReports) has added an automatic reporting feature to its cloud-based data analysis platform, allowing operators of light jets, turboprops, and piston aircraft to share data with three third-party data analysis providers. These include CAMP Systems engine condition and trend monitoring (ECTM); Boeing Distribution (formerly Aviall) for Eclipse 500s enrolled in Boeing Engine Intelligence (formerly ESP); and Savvy Aviation for aircraft enrolled in maintenance consulting services. “Automatic reporting is a key enhancement to FlightData,” said Aerocor co-founder and president Gavin Woodman. “We know that it’s a hassle for our customers to manage multiple platforms for reporting aircraft data to program providers, so we’ve automated the process.” To participate in the fully integrated data analysis process, from data capture to program reporting, aircraft must be equipped with the BlueMAX wireless data transfer device. Aerocor acquired BlueMAX earlier this year from Australian manufacturer Control-J. https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2020-12-29/new-flightdata-feature-enables-automatic-reporting China Southern Airlines WA pilot college in liquidation as 62 local staff sacked (Australia) A training college for China Southern Airlines pilots operating from Perth’s Jandakot Airport has gone into voluntary liquidation, with more than 60 local staff losing their jobs. “The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting closure of borders was a contributing factor to the ongoing viability of the business,” liquidator Grant Thornton Australia said in a statement. Grant Thornton Australia said all 62 staff were sacked when it was appointed liquidator of China Southern West Australian Flying College on Monday. However, it said all staff members were expected to receive their full entitlements, based on a preliminary assessment. The liquidator is now looking to sell the company’s 37 aircraft and Merredin Airport, 260 kilometres east of Perth, which the local shire sold to China Southern Airlines for $1 in 1995. The airline then spent more than $1 million upgrading the airstrip for use as part of the training college and also as a public airport. While the liquidator looks at options for a sale, the airport will remain open. Wheatbelt airport to remain open Shire of Merredin councillor Romolo Patroni said between three and five Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) flights landed at the airport each week. “We’re pleased it is able to continue because [the RFDS] plays a vital role,” Cr Patroni said. In 2019, businessman Clive Palmer criticised the Chinese ownership of the airport, but Premier Mark McGowan said the sale had created jobs and “supports the Royal Flying Doctor Service to save lives in the Wheatbelt”. The college opened in 1993 and in 2010 entered into a joint venture with China Southern Airlines to train its pilots. On its website, the college says it graduates 120 pilots each year who return to China Southern Airlines as First Officers. The college stopped operating out of Merredin in 2016 when it was suspended by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority over personnel issues. However, the college had continued operating from Jandakot. “As a consequence of the liquidation, all aircraft being used by the company have been permanently grounded,” the liquidator said. “As a result, the flying school, which operated from Jandakot Airport, is being wound down on a managed basis and a core team of company staff are assisting the liquidators in this process.” The liquidator said there were 48 student pilots at the college on Monday and it was working with China Southern Airlines to find a way for them to complete their training. It said it would look at selling all the company’s assets — including the 37 small aircraft — in the new year. https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/state/wa/2020/12/30/wa-pilot-college-liquidation/ 7 airlines put China’s ARJ21 regional aircraft into commercial operation A total of seven airlines have put China’s ARJ21 regional jetliner into commercial operation, according to the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC). As of now, a total of 43 ARJ21 airplanes have been delivered to customers, said COMAC, developer of ARJ21 and C919 single-aisle passenger aircraft. These ARJ21 regional jetliners have served on 108 air routes and carried 1.53 million passengers, COMAC said. The ARJ21 regional jetliner has entered a phase of accelerated deliveries and large scale commercial operation. On June 28 this year, COMAC delivered one ARJ21 to each of the country’s three major carriers: Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines. These deliveries marked the arrival of the homegrown jetliner in the domestic mainstream civil aviation market. Besides, COMAC has delivered ARJ21 airplanes to Chengdu Airlines, China Express Airlines, Jiangxi Air and Genghis Khan Airlines. The ARJ21 is China’s first turbofan regional passenger jetliner designed with a capacity of 78 to 90 seats and a range of 3,700 km. As a pioneer of Chinese commercial airplanes, the ARJ21 was put into commercial service by Chengdu Airlines in June 2016. https://www.macaubusiness.com/7-airlines-put-chinas-arj21-regional-aircraft-into-commercial-operation/ Mesa Air Group to Add Five Additional CRJ-900 Aircraft to American CPA PHOENIX, Dec. 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mesa Air Group, Inc.

But they don’t actually need to show up for work. It says only about 60 of the more than 1,200 pilots it furloughed will return to flying in the near future and those 60 aren’t expected to resume flying until March. The new $900 billion stimulus gives airlines and contractors $16 billion for worker payroll support. And it bans any new furloughs until March 31st. While the number of people flying picked up over the holiday season, American is still operating a significantly smaller flight schedule and it does not need an influx of workers. https://www.wltz.com/2020/12/29/stimulus-allows-aa-pilots-to-be-paid/ Tata grabs bigger slice of AirAsia and India's airline industry • AirAsia India is a joint venture between AirAsia and Tata. • Tata has upped its stake in the Indian-based joint venture with AirAsia from 51% to 84% • Tata Group has increased its stake in AirAsia India as it looks to increase its share of India's airline industry. On Tuesday the company announced it would increase its holdings in the Indian-based joint venture with AirAsia from 51% to 84%. AirAsia, owned by Malaysian tycoon Tony Fernandes, has been scaling back its operations during the Covid pandemic. Last week Tata also put in a bid for the country's struggling national carrier Air India. Tata Group is paying AirAsia around $38m (£28m) for the increased stake in the AirAsia India joint venture which began in 2014. The deal puts the Indian conglomerate firmly in command of the budget carrier. AirAsia has been looking to reduce its cash-burn and its Japan unit filed for bankruptcy last month. Tata Sons filed an Expression of Interest to rescue Air India last week. Tata has put in a bid for the country's struggling national carrier Air India AirAsia India has struggled to make money in a market considered to be one of the world's toughest due to high fuel taxes and fierce competition. It said "India is a non-core market" and the transaction would allow it to concentrate on recovery in its key markets of Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. Aviation experts believe this acquisition could give Tata a stronger position in the sector, and help secure Air India, which has been put up for sale by the Indian government. The Tata Group - widely known as the Tatas in India - which also owns Jaguar Land Rover, originally founded the airline in 1932 but sold its stake to the government in the 1950s. Tata also operates the Vistara airline in partnership with Singapore Airlines. With the Tatas now in full control of AirAsia India, they will get a significant say in the running of the airline, which has had a tumultuous run and faced stiff competition from rivals since it launched operations back in 2014. AirAsia India presently has under 7% market share. The deal also marks the return of the Tatas to the aviation market in full force, displaying a stronger commitment to deploy capital and resources to make its aviation ambitions a success, say experts. "This could disrupt India's aviation sector. The Tatas are bringing back air transport as their core revenue and business driver," aviation expert Mark D Martin (MRAeS), founder of Martin Consulting, told the BBC. "They have a foot in the low-cost carrier space with Air Asia, in the niche luxury segment through Vistara, and in all probability, Air India will go back to them as well." The major challenge for the Tatas would be to derive "operational synchrony" among its various brands and manage them without clashes and overlaps, according to Mr Martin. Also, Vistara and AirAsia India have together lost around $845m through March this year, according to the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA), with Covid-19 exacerbating the challenges facing the airline industry. But the Tatas are in the game for the long haul believe experts. "They will be looking at a 30-40-50 year investment horizon to script the turnaround story" added Mr Martin. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/tata-grabs-bigger-slice-airasia-022455366.html Skyroot successfully test fires India's first privately-made solid rocket stage Rocket launch startup Skyroot is closing out 2020 with a key milestone in the development program for their Vikram-I launch vehicle: A successful test firing of a solid rocket propulsion stage that serves as a demonstrator of the same tech to be used in the production Vikram. This is the first time that a private Indian company has designed, built and tested a solid rocket propulsion stage in its entirety, and follows a successful engine burn test of an upper-stage prototype earlier this year. Skyroot also created its solid rocket stage using a carbon composite structure whose manufacturing process is entirely automated, the company says. That allows it to realize weight savings of up to five times versus use of steel, a material typically used to house solid rocket propellant stages. The goal is to use the same process in the production of the final version of Vikram-I, which will help the small launch vehicle realize big benefits in terms of cost, in addition to the reliability benefits that come with the relatively uncomplicated fundamental design of solid rockets, which have no moving parts and therefore less opportunity for failure. The final third-stage Vikram-1 engine will be 4x the size of this demonstrator, and Skyroot is also in the process of manufacturing four other test solid rocket motors, which have a carrying range of thrust, and which will be tested throughout the course of next year as work finishes on their construction. Skyroot aims to perform its first Vikram-I launch by next December, supported in part by the Indian Space Research Organization. The company has raised $4.3 million to date, and says it's currently in the process of raising another $15 million. which it'll aim to close next year. It's set to become the first private Indian company to build and operate private launch vehicles, with the regulatory framework now in place to allow that to happen since India opened up private launcher operations earlier this year. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/skyroot-successfully-test-fires-indias-145932465.html 2021 Aircraft Cabin Air Conference Registration Now Open ** With over 500 registrants in just 10 days - the sponsors have extended the free registration to the first 1000 registrants ** 2021 Aircraft Cabin Air Conference 15 to 18 March 2021 1500 to 2000 GMT daily via Zoom (0700 to 1200 PST) Four online days of powerful talks given by industry and subject matter experts.
