The aircraft landed safely on Urumqi's runway 26R about 95 minutes after leaving 11,000 meters. The airline reported the crew detected a technical problem with one of the engines while enroute over China and diverted to Urumqi. The passengers have been rebooked onto alternate flight connections. The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground in Urumqi about 91 hours (3 days 19 hours) after landing. https://avherald.com/h?article=52bd52f3&opt=0 Two planes forced to return to Boston Logan airport hours apart after midair issues Two planes were forced to return to Boston Logan International Airport just hours apart on Sunday night after separately experiencing issues midair. The flights that returned to the airport included Delta flight 464 and American Airlines flight 2616, according to NBC10 Boston. Delta told the station that its flight was set to fly to Salt Lake City, Utah, when there was an alert regarding one of the plane’s doors. The plane returned to Logan, where it was inspected by maintenance and cleared to continue. The airline said in a statement that the plane eventually landed safely in Salt Lake City. "We apologize to our customers for the delay in their travel,” Delta told the station. American Airlines told NBC10 Boston that its flight bound for Philadelphia returned to Boston just after takeoff because of a maintenance issue. The airline didn’t state what the issue was, but said that the plane landed safely and taxied to the gate under its own steam, and there were no injuries reported. The plane has since been taken out of service for inspection by the airline’s maintenance team, American confirmed. They added that passengers would be accommodated after the disruption. "We never want to disrupt our customers’ travel plans and apologize for the inconvenience," the airline said in a statement to NBC10 Boston. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/two-planes-forced-return-boston-190416428.html American Airlines A321 Pilots Makes Emergency Landing at Boston Upon landing at Boston Logan (BOS), the approach felt fast, with a firm application of brakes after touchdown. BOSTON- American Airlines (AA) flight AA2616, operated by an Airbus A321, diverted to Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) on August 17, 2025. The flight was originally bound for Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) but encountered technical issues shortly after takeoff. According to available information, the aircraft returned safely to Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), where emergency services were placed on standby. Details from air traffic control recordings indicate that the flight crew reported an autopilot failure, autothrust failure, and FMS (Flight Management System) positioning disagreement. LiveATC transmissions on frequency 120.6 captured the crew declaring a problem and requesting immediate diversion. Passengers onboard noted irregularities during the climb phase. The aircraft leveled off early, performed several turns, and showed changes in altitude. While the movements were not violent, it was apparent that something was unusual. According to one passenger, the captain did not announce the diversion until around 25 minutes into the flight, providing no further explanation at the time. Passengers described the atmosphere as calm, though some noticed inconsistencies in engine performance. One passenger recalled that the engines did not sound as smooth as usual during the climb, with what felt like momentary “misses” or rough operation. Takeoff thrust appeared normal, but the sensation of irregular running persisted during the ascent. Upon landing at Boston Logan (BOS), the approach felt fast, with a firm application of brakes after touchdown. Emergency vehicles accompanied the aircraft along the taxiway, a precautionary measure typical in declared in-flight emergencies. Despite the technical issues, the landing was controlled, and passengers disembarked safely at the gate. The flight was operated by Airbus A321, registered as N157UW. Further, it is a 12.1-year-old aircraft powered by two CFM56 engines. American Airlines (AA) flight AA2616, operated by an Airbus A321, diverted to Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) on August 17, 2025. In a separate incident, American Airlines flight AA1292 from Los Angeles (LAX) to Nashville (BNA) makes U-Turn to LAX on August 17, 2025. The aircraft, carrying 172 passengers and crew, leveled off at 16,000 feet when the flight deck reported flap retraction problems and requested to hold before preparing for an emergency landing at LAX. The Boeing 737-800 departed Los Angeles on runway 25R and initially climbed without incident. Shortly after departure, the crew requested to stop the climb at 16,000 feet, maintaining 230 knots, while running through checklists to address the hydraulic issue. They informed air traffic control (ATC) that the aircraft’s flaps had not retracted properly, a situation that can significantly impact aircraft handling and fuel efficiency. Controllers cleared the flight to enter a holding pattern, where the crew assessed the situation. During this time, they coordinated with operations and prepared for a possible overweight or abnormal landing. After holding, the pilots requested a long final approach to runway 25R at LAX, advising ATC of a potential hot brake scenario. Emergency services were placed on standby, and the crew declared an emergency. The aircraft touched down safely on runway 25R at a higher-than-normal landing speed of around 182 knots groundspeed. It vacated the runway and paused for inspection by emergency crews before taxiing under its own power to the terminal. No injuries were reported. Technical Considerations Hydraulic issues in commercial aircraft can affect critical systems such as landing gear, flaps, spoilers, and brakes. In this case, the failure to retract flaps required the crew to manage speed carefully, since extended flaps create higher drag and restrict normal climb performance. The decision to return rather than continue the cross-country flight reflected standard safety protocols. Landing with flaps extended and at a higher speed increases strain on brakes and tires, which explains the concern over hot brakes upon arrival. American Airlines maintenance teams inspected the aircraft after it reached the apron to determine the extent of the problem. https://aviationa2z.com/index.php/2025/08/18/american-airlines-a321-emergency-landing-at-boston/ Germany-bound plane with 281 on board catches fire in mid-air, diverted to Italy After nearly 40 minutes in the air, the aircraft, which was carrying 273 passengers, made an emergency landing at Brindisi Airport in southern Italy. A Germany-bound Condor Airlines flight from Corfu, Greece, had to be diverted to Italy on August 16 after one of its engines caught fire following takeoff, according to People magazine. While nobody on board the Boeing 757 aircraft was injured, an unverified video of the incident went viral on TikTok.

Strengthening and modernizing our system is vital for making the safest mode of transportation even safer and more efficient and maintaining the global competitiveness of the U.S. airline industry.” Sununu was the 82nd Governor of the State of New Hampshire, serving four terms from 2017 to 2025. As Governor, Sununu cut and phased out the Interest & Dividends Tax for retirees, provided tax relief to employers and small businesses, reduced property taxes by $100 million, delivered voluntary paid family medical leave, and provided more money per pupil for public education than ever before. “I’ve personally long admired Gov. Sununu, and now that he’s left politics, we’re honored to have him as the new President and CEO of A4A,” said A4A Board Chairman and United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby. “The airline industry is one of the most essential enablers of strong economic growth here in the U.S. and for connecting and sharing American culture and values around the world. Chris is absolutely the right leader for this crucial industry in the years to come.” “Chris has consistently demonstrated strategic vision, operational expertise and a knack for getting hard things done. At this pivotal moment for U.S. aviation, he’s the right leader for Airlines for America, and I look forward to working with him to advance aviation safety, modernize our air traffic control system, and ensure U.S. aviation continues to fuel the American economy,” said A4A Board Vice Chair and American Airlines CEO Robert Isom. “I’m excited to welcome Chris into this role and am grateful—along with the entire aviation industry—for Nick Calio’s outstanding leadership.” Calio, who joined A4A in 2011, will remain on as CEO Emeritus through the end of the year. Under his leadership, A4A rebranded and strongly positioned itself as an influential voice in shaping legislative and regulatory policies affecting air travel and cargo shipping. https://www.airlines.org/news-update/governor-chris-sununu-named-new-president-and-ceo-of-airlines-for-america/ Cancer in Military Pilots and Aircrews Will Be Studied Under Newly Signed Law An independent panel will study the rates of cancer and deaths from cancer among military fixed-wing pilots and aircrews under a law signed last week by President Donald Trump. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine will conduct a thorough review on the prevalence of various cancers among personnel who have served on active duty on fighter jets, trainers, surveillance aircraft and other airplanes to determine whether cancer rates are elevated in the aviation community. A study released by the Department of Defense in 2023 found that, among 900,000 personnel who served on fixed-wing aircraft between 1992 and 2017, aircrews had a 24% higher rate of cancer than their peers in the general population, including an 87% higher rate of melanoma, a 39% higher rate of thyroid cancer, and a 16% higher rate of prostate cancer. Following that report, lawmakers said more needed to be done to determine the extent of the association between aviation jobs and cancer. The Aviation Cancers Examination Study, or ACES, Act was drafted to better understand any connection and to help affected service members get access to proper health care and disability compensation if their illnesses are determined to be service-connected. Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, is an Air Force Reserve colonel who flew on active duty for 20 years. He called the new law "a lifeline" for pilots. "I introduced this bill in honor of my dear friend and former fighter pilot, [Air Force Col. Andy Shurtleff], who recently lost his life in a second battle he never signed up to fight. We owe it to him, and every service member like him, to properly study the prevalence of military aviation cancer rates," Pfluger said in a statement Thursday. "As a former Navy pilot, there are certain risks that we know and accept come with our service, but we know far less about the health risks that are affecting many aviators and aircrews years later," Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., said in a statement Thursday. "Veteran aviators and aircrews deserve answers about the correlation between their job and cancer risks so we can reduce those risks for future pilots." Battlefield and industrial exposures have long been a concern for military personnel who work around hazardous materials including radiation, chemicals and other toxic substances used in the manufacturing of weapons and systems. The Air Force is wrapping up an extensive review of the prevalence of certain cancers in personnel assigned to nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile units. To date. those studies have found elevated rates of breast and prostate cancers in that community, but they did not show elevated rates of one particular illness of concern among some members of the community, non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The Air Force cautioned, however, that the results are not final and based on roughly half the data the service plans to review for the study. Under the new law, a panel appointed by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine will identify exposures associated with military aviation jobs such as radiation, ultraviolet light, chemicals or other materials. The group also will examine all existing academic studies on cancer in the aviation community, as well as databases from the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Defense Department, the military services and the National Center for Health Statistics to gain a clearer picture of any relationship between serving on military jets and other fixed-wing platforms and at least 11 types of cancer. The law specifically directs the organization to examine brain cancer; colon and rectal cancers; kidney cancer; lung cancer; melanoma skin cancer; non-Hodgkin lymphoma; pancreatic cancer; prostate cancer; testicular cancer; thyroid cancer; urinary bladder cancer; and any "other cancers determined appropriate" by the VA and the National Academies. The law directs the VA to enter into a contract with the National Academies within 30 days. https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/08/18/cancer-military-pilots-and-aircrews-will-be-studied-under-newly-signed-law.html Tuition Assistance for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Professional Education Courses is now available through USAIG’s Performance Vector Safety Benefits Program New York, NY (August 19, 2025)…USAIG, one of the world’s leading aviation-specific insurance providers, is proud that tuition support for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Professional Education (ERAU ProEd) courses is now among the annual Performance Vector Safety Benefit options available to eligible policyholders.
