Apr 23rd, act. dep Apr 24th) from Houston Intercontinental,TX (USA) to Liege (Belgium), was taxiing for departure just before midnight (local time) and had initially been cleared to taxi via NP,NA hold short NE, but subsequently mistook an instruction for another aircraft for them and needed to be reminded by ground to hold short of NE. The aircraft taxied via NP and NA and held short of NE. Ground then cleared the aircraft then cleared another private aircraft, unreadable callsign (but sounding similiar to Qatari 835...) and apparently taxiing to the FBO ramp, to cross runway 08R at NE, turn right NA and hold short of runway 15R at WC. Ground subsequently instructed QR-8357: "holding short NE, you need to listen to callsigns, you followed two instructions that were not for you". Later the aircraft was cleared to taxi to runway 15R, but went past the hold short line, lined up and waited. The tower controller discovered the aircraft was already on the runway and told them, they had been cleared to taxi "to", but not "onto" the runway, the crew apologized for the misunderstanding. The controller instructed the crew to vacate the runway via taxiway WW and return to the holding point at WC, the crew queried whether the instruction for another aircraft (callsign again unclear on the recording available) was for them, the controller told them "you are not listening to callsigns, I said United not Qatari, you have been doing that all night long", repeated the instruction to vacate the runway via WW and taxi to the runway via WC re-iterating the crew had never been told to line up runway 15R and wait. The crew finally vacated the runway, returned to the holding point runway 15R at WC and was cleared for takeoff about 5 minutes after entering the runway the first time. The flight reached Liege without further incident. https://avherald.com/h?article=5388a27c&opt=0 Incident: Calm AT72 at Arviat on Apr 25th 2026, runway excursion A Calm Air Avions de Transport Regional ATR-72-212A, registration C-GREJ performing freight flight MO-488 from Thompson,MB to Arviat,NU (Canada) with 2 crew, landed on Arviat's runway 15T. The crew selected ground idle after all wheels had touched down. When the aircraft slowed through 70 knots the aircraft veered to the left, the crew applied full right rudder, right brake and some reverse however the aircraft went about 5 feet beyond the left hand edge of the runway. The Canadian TSB reported a runway edge light was found broken, however, there was no damage to the aircraft. 17 minutes after the occurrence weather was reported with winds from 70 degrees true at 22 knots and drifting snow. The aircraft returned to Thompson on Apr 29th 2026. https://avherald.com/h?article=5388dcc2&opt= Passenger removed from Delta flight after refusing to hang up phone A Delta Air Lines passenger was removed from an Atlanta-bound flight after refusing to hang up a phone call before takeoff. The incident happened on Delta Flight 1323 at Miami International Airport on Monday, April 27. Delta said crewmembers made repeated requests for the passenger to end the call while the plane was taxiing, but the customer did not comply and became “disruptive.” “The safety of our customers and crew comes before all else, and Delta has zero tolerance for disruptive behavior,” the airline said in a statement to USA TODAY. Video shared by Miami’s WSVN shows fellow passengers expressing their frustration at the individual, with one saying, “Please be considerate. Consider yourself and the rest of us.” Federal regulations require passengers to follow crewmember instructions aboard aircraft. “Failure to follow crewmember instructions may violate FAA regulations by interfering with the crewmember’s ability to perform his or her duties on the aircraft,” the Department of Transportation wrote in a Notice to Passengers on Disruptive Behavior in 2021. “The FAA may impose civil penalties of up to $13,910 for such violations.” The plane returned to the gate and the passenger was removed, according to Delta, which apologized to customers for the experience and delay. The plane wound up taking off about an hour later than scheduled. https://www.yahoo.com/travel/news/articles/passenger-removed-delta-flight-refusing-154324350.html United Airlines pilot reports possible drone collision 3,000 feet over San Diego A United Airlines pilot arriving in San Diego on Wednesday morning reported encountering a drone thousands of feet in the air as the plane approached the airport, according to airport tower audio. United flight 1980 departed from San Francisco International Airport at 6:53 a.m. and flew roughly 90 minutes before arriving at San Diego International at 8:28 a.m. After the Boeing 737 landed at the airport in San Diego, the pilot reported to the tower that the plane had possibly hit a drone while flying at about 3,000 feet. According to recordings of the conversation between the pilot and the tower reviewed by The Times, the pilot tells ground control that it happened on the "base leg" of the flight, generally when the plane flies perpendicular to the runway as it prepares to land. The air traffic controller asks him for more details: "Do you have like approximate size or how many engines or style or anything like that?" "It was so small I couldn't tell," the pilot responds. "It was red ... it was shiny." Minutes earlier, the pilot radioed in to staff at Southern California Terminal Radar Approach Control, a radar facility that directs aircraft across the region, asking if a drone was near his location. "Not that I'm aware," the controller responds. "I believe I just saw like a red small object ... about 1,000 feet below us to our right," the pilot says. Air traffic control alerted other pilots but did not receive any additional reports of a drone in the area, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The plane, which was carrying 48 passengers and six crew members, landed safely. A spokesperson for the FAA said it is investigating. Pilots are prohibited from operating drones above 400 feet altitude unless they have authorization from the FAA. Drone pilots also must avoid restricted airspace, including the airspace around airports, according to FAA regulations. It was not immediately clear if the drone actually collided with the aircraft. The airline's maintenance team "found no damage after thoroughly inspecting the aircraft," United Airlines said in a statement to The Times. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/united-airlines-pilot-reports-possible-182821905.html KLM Boeing 777 Pilots Failed to Land at Paramaribo Due to This Issue Suriname's chronic air traffic controller shortage forces yet another transatlantic diversion, prompting government intervention. AMSTERDAM- KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (KL) flight from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) to Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport (PBM) in Paramaribo, Suriname, diverted to Piarco International Airport (POS) in Trinidad on April 25, 2026. The diversion occurred after air traffic controller staffing issues at Paramaribo left no tower controller available to authorize landings and departures. The incident disrupted services for KLM, Surinam Airways (PY), and Fly All Ways (8W), marking the second major ATC-related diversion at Paramaribo (PBM) within 12 months. Suriname’s government has since held emergency discussions with the Suriname Air Traffic Controllers Association (SATCA) to address the ongoing crisis. KLM Flight Diverted Due to ATC Shortages A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued for April 25 initially indicated that no tower controllers would be available at Paramaribo between 08:00 and 15:30 local time. Authorities later extended the unavailability window to 22:30 the same evening. While the airport maintained an en-route controller, the absence of tower staff meant no aircraft could be cleared for landing or departure. The inbound KLM flight had already entered Suriname airspace when the decision to divert was made. Crew duty hour limits were approaching expiry, leaving the airline no option but to hold and wait for ATC services to resume. The aircraft, carrying over 300 passengers, was rerouted to Trinidad’s Piarco International Airport (POS). Georgetown (GEO) in Guyana, another KLM destination, was geographically closer as a diversion point. However, the airline selected Trinidad due to its greater hotel capacity for accommodating the large number of passengers onboard. The flight eventually departed Trinidad the following day after lunch and landed in Suriname approximately one hour and 20 minutes later, Gate Checked reported. Recurring ATC Crisis at Suriname Airports Air traffic controller staffing shortages at Suriname airports have persisted for several years. A combination of low wages, poor working conditions, and lengthy training timelines has created a cycle of understaffing that regularly disrupts airspace operations. This April 2026 event is the second incident in under a year to draw international attention. In October 2025, another KLM flight from Amsterdam was forced to hold for approximately 25 minutes over Suriname before diverting to Cayenne-Félix Eboué Airport (CAY) in French Guiana due to the same staffing problems. Government Moves to Address the Staffing Crisis Following the latest diversion, Suriname’s President Jennifer Geerlings-Simons convened a meeting with the Suriname Air Traffic Controllers Association (SATCA). Discussions focused on updates to ATC wage structures, accelerated training programs, and measures to ensure service continuity at the country’s airports. Minister of Transport, Communication, and Tourism Raymond Landveld stated that officials will reconvene within two to three weeks to discuss proposals aimed at permanently resolving the staffing issues. The outcome of these discussions will be critical for Suriname’s aviation sector, particularly as KLM operates one of the country’s most important international routes connecting Paramaribo to Amsterdam. https://aviationa2z.com/index.php/2026/04/30/klm-boeing-777-pilots-failed-to-land-at-paramaribo/ Disruptive passengers are such a nuisance that one airline wants to build a database of the worst offenders A Jet2 flight from Turkey to London diverted to Bulgaria due to a disruptive passenger. The airline said it wants a national database to ban disruptive passengers from all UK airlines. Such incidents have become more common since the pandemic, causing a headache for carriers. What triggers disruptive behavior on flights? What are the legal implications for offenders? What measures can prevent in-flight incidents? How do airlines handle unruly passengers? How does a diversion impact airline costs? A British airline is calling for a database to help ban disruptive passengers from flying. "We are lobbying for the creation of a national database so that as well as being banned from flying with us, disruptive passengers will also be banned from flying with other UK airlines," Jet2 said in a statement shared with Business Insider. As well as its impossibly catchy, memeable ads, Jet2 is known for its vacation packages and no-frills flights to destinations around Europe. Its statement comes after one of its flights had to divert on Monday due to unruly travelers. The Airbus A321neo was flying from Antalya, Turkey, to London, when a pair of passengers began misbehaving. Footage circulating on social media showed a man threatening other passengers and shouting abuse, before being escorted off the airplane by military police. Data from Flightradar24 shows how the jet U-turned over Romania and diverted to Sofia, Bulgaria. "As a family-friendly airline we take a zero-tolerance approach to disruptive passenger behavior, and we can confirm that we have banned these two passengers from flying with us for life," Jet2 said. "We will vigorously pursue them to recover any losses that we incurred as a result of their behavior — and we will not hesitate to use the courts." Such incidents have also become more common compared to before the pandemic. Statistics from the Federal Aviation Administration show how unruly passenger reports jumped from about 1,000 to 6,000 between 2020 and 2021. The numbers have dropped off since, but still reached over 1,600 last year. Diversions are not only a nuisance for passengers and crew alike, but can also be costly for airlines. Passengers may need to be paid compensation, and their journeys could be well delayed, especially if the pilots turn back to the airport where they started. A diversion can also leave an airplane in an unexpected location and have a knock-on effect on an airline's schedule. Ryanair, Europe's largest airline, has often sought to recoup such costs from passengers. In 2025, it sued a passenger it alleged had forced a flight to divert, claiming over $15,000 in damages. Later that year, the budget carrier also asked the Spanish courts to fine or potentially imprison another disruptive passenger, who tried to take a seat that wasn't his and caused the flight to take off late. https://www.businessinsider.com/airline-calls-unruly-passenger-database-after-rise-in-disruption-2026-4 WACO Aircraft Abruptly Closes Factory Historic biplane manufacturer in Michigan shuts down operations ‘effective immediately.’ WACO Aircraft Corp. abruptly shuttered its Battle Creek, Michigan, factory and ceased operations Tuesday, according to sources familiar with the situation. Employees reportedly left the facility Tuesday afternoon only to receive an email shortly after instructing them not to return to work, while a sign posted on the factory door confirmed the closure of the aircraft production and maintenance provider. “It is with a very heavy heart that we share some deeply difficult news regarding the future of WACO Aircraft Corporation, Centennial Aircraft Services and Dimor Group Inc.,” the sign read. “After exhausting every possible path to keep our operations running, ownership has made the painful decision to cease the aircraft production and maintenance services operations U.S. effective immediately.” FLYING Magazine’s telephone calls and emails to WACO Aircraft and Dimor Group were not returned as of Wednesday afternoon. Employees are expected to receive more information later this week as well as an opportunity to retrieve personal belongings from the factory. The factory closure comes as a surprise to many in the aviation industry as WACO Aircraft exhibited at the Sun ’n Fun Aerospace Expo in Florida earlier this month and, according to the company website, had planned to attend many fly-ins, shows, and events, including the Catarina Aviation show in Brazil (May) the American WACO Club Fly-In in Troy, Ohio (June 17-21), the 67th National WACO Club Reunion in Mount Vernon, Ohio (June 25-28), and EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh in Wisconsin (July 20-26). It is unknown if the annual WACO Fly-In (October 3-4) in Battle Creek will still happen. WACO Aircraft traces its lineage back to the 1920s. The WACO YMF-5 features a distinctive bumped cowl and art deco-inspected wheel pants that are a favorite at airshows and fly-ins. In 2020 the German Dimor Group Inc purchased WACO Aircraft, which made customized YMF-5 and Great Lakes aircraft. The airframes harken back to the 1920s and early ’30s but are built with modern materials, safety features, and avionics. The aircraft are crafted by hand rather than mass-produced on an assembly line. In February 2025 Dimor Group announced plans to invest $12 million into WACO Aircraft to build a 45,000-square-foot factory to manufacture the Junkers A50, a 1930s-inspired, low-wing, German light sport design. According to a Michigan television news broadcast, Dimor had planned to keep manufacturing the reimagined classics from the golden age of aviation. https://www.flyingmag.com/waco-aircraft-abruptly-closes-factory/ Air New Zealand earns top Seven Star PLUS safety rating Since the inception of AirlineRatings 13 years ago, Air New Zealand has consistently ranked among the World’s Top 10 Safest Airlines. Now, following the success of its most recent onboard cabin safety audit, the airline has been elevated into an even more exclusive category. The achievement places Air New Zealand within a select group of Seven Star PLUS carriers including airlines such as Etihad Airways, STARLUX and Cathay Pacific recognising its continued commitment to rigorous operational standards onboard. Airlineratings.com CEO Sharon Petersen said of the recognition: "What distinguishes Air New Zealand as a Seven Star PLUS safety-rated airline is not only its performance but also its growth mindset. Whilst our auditor identified very few recommendations, at our exit briefing, the airline's leadership treated each one of those as an opportunity to refine an already exceptional operation. This is the absolute epitome of a Seven Star PLUS airline: exceptional safety standards underpinned by a team that refuses to grow complacent." Air New Zealand Chief Safety and Risk Officer Nathan McGraw said: "We're incredibly proud to receive AirlineRatings.com's Seven Star PLUS safety rating, its highest accolade. It recognises the dedication of all Air New Zealanders to maintaining safe, reliable operations and caring for our customers at every step of their journey. While this is a fantastic milestone, we know safety is an ongoing journey, and we remain focused on continuing to raise the bar every day." Since the programme launched in October 2025, AirlineRatings has completed 12 onboard cabin safety audits, with Cathay Pacific, Etihad Airways, Air Europa, HK Express and STARLUX each earning recognition as Seven Star PLUS airlines. Airlines that receive recommendations exceeding the required threshold are given a clear and detailed pathway to qualification: following the implementation of corrective measures, they are re-audited, at which point they may be elevated to Seven Star PLUS status. Within the Australia-Pacific region, Fiji Airways is the next carrier scheduled to undergo the audit. A further four airlines across the Asia Pacific region are also underway, though those remain under a non-disclosure agreement. What Is the Seven Star PLUS Rating? The Seven Star PLUS rating is awarded to airlines that: • Already hold a Seven Star safety rating, which is determined by participation in IOSA, audits from local governing bodies, as well as the airline’s own safety or incident history. • Successfully complete six anonymous onboard audits across a mix of domestic, international, short-haul, long-haul, day and overnight flights. • Demonstrate consistent excellence across all 70 audit points across each of the six audit flights. These audits are conducted by Airline Ratings’ own team, independent of airline influence, and designed to reflect real-world passenger experiences. Why It Matters With nearly 40% of passengers reporting anxiety or fear of flying, 7-Star PLUS provides a new level of reassurance. While traditional safety metrics focus on aircraft maintenance, operational excellence and regulatory compliance, this new rating highlights the human element, specifically how safety is communicated, enacted, and felt onboard. Airlines not yet at Seven Stars can still undergo reviews, receiving tailored feedback to help close safety gaps and improve their standing. This initiative complements AirlineRatings mission: “Guiding you to the safest and best value airline for every journey.” For enquiries on participating in Airline Ratings’ safety ratings, please contact Safety and Quality Manager, Josh Wood, at josh.wood@airlineratings.com.

But even if Airmen actually do fly all 1.147 million hours—which the Air Force said in budget documents would be the most it can produce—it would still be short of the 1.3 million hours the service says it truly needs. “Although this [flying hour] funding level is below the Department [of the Air Force’s] 1.3 million-hour goal, we are aggressively addressing the challenges that limit flying hour capacity as part of a generational investment in our nation’s defense,” the Air Force wrote in budget documents. Those efforts include plans to increase pilot production to 1,500 per year, the Air Force said. The Air Force wants its pilots to have more hours to ensure they remain sharp in their cockpits. “Readiness is ultimately about the proficiency of our warfighters,” the Air Force said in a budget document detailing planned operation and maintenance spending. “The Flying Hour Program (FHP) is the forge that ensures American pilots remain the most capable and best-trained aviators in the world.” In recent years, however, the service has had trouble actually executing all the flying hours in its budget due to a combination of aircraft challenges and pilot shortages. Back in 2019, for example, the Air Force budgeted for 1.45 million flying hours but actually ended up flying closer to 1.2 million. In 2025, the Air Force budgeted for nearly 1.07 million flying hours, but when the year was finished, budget documents show pilots flew slightly more than 1.01 million hours. Active-Duty flying hours fell 10 percent short of the more than 886,000 budgeted for in 2025, while Reserve flying hours slightly exceeded budgeted amounts, and Air National Guard pilots flew 28 percent more hours than budgeted. As a result of these shortfalls, officials have cut back on their budget requests with the goal of using every hour given. In 2024, the budgeted amount of flying hours dropped to 1.07 million hours, and at that time, service officials said that was roughly the amount that the Air Force could be realistically expected to pull off. With the 2027 budget’s heavy emphasis on readiness, the flying hours account did get a plus-up: the Air Force is asking for $7.4 billion to fund Active-Duty flying hours, which would be a 22 percent increase from the $6.1 billion budgeted in fiscal 2026. Another $1.6 billion would cover Air National Guard hours, and $867 million would go to Air Force Reserve hours, for a total of $9.9 billion. That funding would pay for the fuel, spare parts, and consumable supplies pilots and maintenance crews need to safely and reliably fly aircraft. That funding boost is intended to allow pilots to fly 1.147 million flying hours in 2027, about 65,000 more than are budgeted for this year. If the Air Force achieves that goal, it would be its most in a year since flying 1.149 million hours in 2022. The Air Force said in budget documents that 300,000 hours would be used to fly the T-7A Red Hawk jet trainer. Another 229,000 hours would be for combat aircraft like the F-22 Raptor, F-35A Joint Strike Fighter, and bomber force, and 306,000 hours would go to global mobility flights. Budget documents show the department plans to spend $174 million in mandatory reconciliation funds on F-35 flying hour requirements. That would be higher than the nearly $160 million in reconciliation funds Congress provided in 2026. “This surge directly enhances warfighter lethality by enabling pilot production and proficiency, building a ready force,” the Air Force said in a budget report. John Venable, a former F-16 pilot and senior resident fellow at the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies, doubts the Air Force will be able to meet its goal of 1.1 million hours in 2027. The root of the problem, he said, is the service’s longstanding readiness issues that for years have caused them to struggle with keeping enough aircraft able to fly their missions. The Guard’s pattern of exceeding its budgeted flying hours is an exception within the Air Force, one which Venable said is likely because their fighter units are often called upon for operational missions. When pilots go year after year without being able to fly as many sorties as they need, Venable said, other duties creep into their days that start to distract units from their intended focus on flying and warfighting. “There’s a lethargy that comes with underperformance,” Venable said. Multiple factors have contributed to the readiness problems, Venable said, including a lack of enough maintenance personnel on the flightlines, not enough spare parts and other consumables, and not enough aircraft as aging, older planes retire and their replacements don’t come online fast enough. This results in a system that isn’t supporting maintainers, aircrew, and other Airmen needed to generate sorties in the way they need to be ready to fight a war, Venable said. “I’m not talking about the guy who’s turning wrenches,” Venable said. “I’m not talking about the guy who’s flying. I’m talking about the system that does not set those two people up for success.” https://www.airandspaceforces.com/air-force-request-flying-hours-2027/ Gulfstream revenues jump 8.4%; deliveries rise The company manufactures parts of G280 jet in Israel which has been affected due to the ongoing tensions in the Middle East. General Dynamics, manufacturer of Gulfstream jets, announced financial results for first quarter of 2026 wherein it reported a 8.4% year-over-year increase in aerospace revenues to $3.3bn. “Aerospace did very well in the quarter. It had revenue of $3.3bn,” said Danny Deep, CEO of Gulfstream in earnings call. “Revenue was $253m more than last year’s first quarter, an 8.4% increase. To give you a little perspective here, the increase was driven by two more aircraft deliveries and higher services revenue at both Gulfstream and Jet Aviation.” The company delivered 38 jets during the first quarter, of which 31 were large-cabin and seven were mid-cabin segment. Gulfstream manufactures G800, G700, G600, G500 and G400 in the large-cabin segment and G300 and G280 in the mid-cabin segment. “The 38 deliveries in the quarter are exactly as planned,” said Deep. The operating earnings of $493m were higher by $61m, driven in part by the increased revenue, but primarily by a 70bps improvement in operating margin. “The operating margin of 10.5% was also better than our forecast, with notable strength in Aerospace, which came in at 15.0%,” said Robert Stallard of Vertical Research Partners. General Dynamics has posted lower deliveries in the past due to supply chain woes. “In Aerospace, while Gulfstream only shipped two more bizjets YoY, a good operating performance drove the improvement in the margin in this division with no notable supply chain issues,” said Stallard. “I think we still see some areas in the supply chain where we need to get the cadence up. And those problems tend to be where we have complex components or complex systems where there are just single sources of supply. But broadly speaking, we are seeing improvements,” added Deep on the supply chain in the earnings call. The company’s book-to-bill ratio clocked in at 1.2x of the revenue at $3.8bn in absolute terms – an improvement of $1.5 from same period last year. Commenting on the remainder of the year, Deep said they expect “mix movement in the second and third quarter, but certainly as planned, and then you’ll see a really strong fourth quarter.” He added that from the delivery standpoint, the second quarter second quarter will be very similar to first quarter and then the third and fourth will be our highest which is in line with the company’s plan. “So, I think all of those things give us some optimism about where we are in Aerospace in terms of margins and to use your word, it’s certainly durable,” he added. The company manufactures parts of G280 jet in Israel which has been affected due to the ongoing tensions in the Middle East. “All of the airplanes that we delivered in Q1, we had received a fair bit ago, and we completed them over the quarter and delivered. So – which weren’t impacted this quarter,” Deep said. “I think we could see a small impact the longer this goes on. They’re still producing those airplanes ready for us to complete. But we could see some minor impact. And as you know, that’s on the G280.” https://www.corporatejetinvestor.com/news/gulfstream-4/ CALENDAR OF EVENTS . 2026 NBAA Maintenance Conference; May 5-7, 2026; New Orleans, LA .
